Ondine's Curse A Naiad's Ire

Come out from your fair castle
made of naught but ice and stone
Your precious maiden, locks so fair
did make her bed and home.

She foolishly ticked off Ondine
a Naiad of hair and voice, heaven sent,
She found her lover with her dallying
a lovely woman scorned, now maleficent.

So beware when your gallivanting,
a jaunt to your favourite haunt,
Spirits of earth, running water, and air
could get irked and in terror make you gaunt.

 

Ondine the Naiad wanted a soul, a man she needed wed,

to bear him a child she needed indeed;

She caught him unfaithful, "Ondine's Curse"

unable to breathe while getting the sleep he'd need.

~~So I saw the picture prompt and all I could think of was a ticked off Naiad (In Greek mythology, the Naiads or Naiades (Ναϊάδες from the Greek νάειν, "to flow," and νἃμα, "running water") were a type of nymph who presided over fountains, wells, springs, streams, and brooks[1].)
