All the young girls in Zecor
Say that they would adore
The way their lives would transform
If only they could adorn
Themselves like Princess Ondina
Picture-perfect Ondina
It's such a shame, the girls say
That Ondina turned away
The advances of her half brother
They say that he would be such a fine lover
Compelling and mysterious Qweh
Mighty and powerful Qweh
Ondina sits alone in the wood
Feeling lonely and misunderstood
Her brother is a brute whom she fears
She'd like to swim away on a river of tears
None know the truth of Ondina
Sorrowful, frightened Ondina
A young nymph in lovely finery
Is what the envious girls of West Zecor see
A defiant bitch who denied him a heir
Is what Prince Qweh sees in his sister fair
None see the true Princess Ondina
Every day is a fight for Ondina
A frightened girl who sees no good end
A sweet lost soul without a friend
Misunderstood by those whom she wishes to free
She has nowhere to go even if she could flee
People only see the glory of Ondina
They know not the fear of Ondina

I couldn't brain today, so I wasn't able to work in the prompts from withrealtoads.blogspot.com or napowrimo.net although I was inspired by them.

We love comments, with three caveats.
Be cool, Fool.
Don't be rude, Dude.
Don't be a prick, Slick.
That's all, Saul.
I try to get comments published as quickly as possible. I don't always reply to comments on my blog, but I do try to visit as many people as possible when I participate in blog hops and I share links where possible to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and such so others can discover your work. I do read and appreciate your comments.
