SciFi and Fantasy Art: AriadneSparkling jewels and riches galore,
With marble walls and marble floors.
From this luxury I turn away,
To face he who stole my heart from me.
Not his muscled body nor his gorgeous face,
But for his courage that I myself must brace.
In my heart I feel such heat,
For this man who sweeps me off my feet.
He wishes to face the minotaur,
I love him more though this stretch is far.
I betray my father to lend him a sword,
As he may slay the monster without a word.
And a roll of thread to find his way out,
Where I shall run to my love without a doubt.
Away from this place he and I shall go,
To an island where lush foliage does grow.
There we shall wed to share our love forever,
Though soon I should learn he will love me never.
Alone on this island he leaves me to die,
From my broken heart comes these tears I cry.
It spears my soul, this terrible pain
For my love unreturned drives me insane.
And so my last thread of willpower is pulled,
As I write these last lines the wind blows cold.
Ruffling my skirts, it points to a cliff
As I stand on the edge, to a star I wish:
“Swiftly it came, swiftly it shall go.
I, Ariadne, cannot bear anymore.
Theseus stole my heart and ran away,
So I wish, bright star, that this be my last day.”
A professional poet said she was impressed by my poem *beams proudly* 'course... she was probably paid to make the students feel speshul... | |

I didn't know that you had updated! *pout* You should have sent me this poem, too, it's gorgeous! *jealousjealousjealous* You're a very talented poet as well as artist, I see. Grr. I love the shading and hair (nicely Greek!) and I agree this'd look great in color. Maybe you could tweak it on the computer? | |
| 27 Aug 2002 |  Lauren Indvik | Oh that's so sad. Your poem IS beautiful and breathtaking, so take the professional poet's words sincerely. This captures the feeling exactly. I love the folds and the feeling and her hands, the highlighting too is precious and the pose is just...encompassing. | |
| 23 Jan 2003 | Andrew | I Like the way the dress flows and the tones are soft. | |
| 2 Aug 2003 | Lothlorien Woods | Oh, this one is gorgeous and soft...It's a distant, ancient sort of picture. I would just like to suggest a little more contrast to your shading--that would help define some of the blurring grays. BUT THIS ONE IS BEAUTIFUL. I especially admire the skirt. Really spectacular movement captured there. | |
| 8 Aug 2003 |  Rachel Tweedlebug McKinney | Adore the poem... love the movement in the picture... I feel wistfull and windtossed just looking at it. | |
| 27 Aug 2003 |  Brittany 'Autumn RiverRose' Cali | *nods* I know that story, tis a good one. I love the emotion in this and the windswept look it has. Beautiful! | |
| 22 Jan 2004 | Alora Stars fan | You can tell that she lost someone dear to her, even if you don't read the poem. Very full of emotion, my favorite kind of picture. | |
| 9 Jun 2004 | VelvetGreen | This is superb, as is the rest of your work, you are a very skilled artist, and only 15??? | |
| 19 Sep 2004 | Millie | I loive it! IT looks as if she doesn't want to go off the edge but is being pushed by the wind. She also looks as if she is praying. As a poet myself, I love the poem! The pic and the poem match so well. Wuv it! Do more poetry/pic mixes.! | |
| 26 May 2005 | Samantha | The poem is soo touching! The picture is beautifull and I love it!! You realy have an awesome talent. | |
