There's a wood nymph in my palace
far across the distant sea
where I gaze my eyes open her
and she sweelty sings to me
it is not her beauty that I desire
but the yearning for that song
though sweet to mine ears
tis agony when it is gone
there's a wood nymph in my palace
with a tender and gentle face
here she wilt remain
innocent and full of grace
her lovely brown hair
drags across the floor
and those great honey colored eyes
weep in a secret glamour
there's a wood nymph in my palace
this dismal place where she must stay
for my bitter and unseen heart would die
if she were taken away...

Oh I hate to do this as this poem is so good, but I can't keep it in the contest as it refers to greek mythology and not norse.

Beautiful imagery!
I really loved the melodious rhythm to this piece, and the repetition of "there's a wood nymph in my palace" just added to the exquisite imagery. Bravo!

Sweet and Pure
This was lovely. I have read a couple of your poems now, and to say that I see a budding talent would be an understatement. You actually remind me quite a bit of myself when I was at University. You seem to feel things quite deeply, too. My only thought-not even a critique, really- is that you seem to feel things so deeply that I'd like to read a poem where you just let yourself go and completely surrender to the emotions and feelings filtering through you via your words. You may have already done this, I should probably read more first, but you have such passion that I was wondering what wonderful poetry would be created if you abandoned any conscious thought of form - just let those words come. I think you might blow us all a bit away. I can't wait to read what develops as you do.
Blessed Be,

Ahhh... the wood nymph is being kept indoors!
The nymph only likes being outdoors! She wears flowers in her hair and can only find them in the forest!
