Aw, thanks for all of the comments *Lurves them*!! I had to do another for school, this time on a character from the Odyssey. I chose Nausicaa, a princess Odysseus meets on his travles. Every set of words is supposed to have a rose in the middle, seperateing the words, but you cant show that in snitch seeker  . Hope you like it!
The Rose Princess Nausicaa
Innocent Nausicaa, “a tall girl and divinely beautiful”
To rival the Gods, whom she praises
The fresh young maiden, “white arms” in the sun
Like the divine Goddess Artemis, and “like a young palm spire”
Excited by dreams, sent by the Gods
Addresses her father, as “Daddy Dear”
To do the wash, by the noble river,
And to take her lovely maids with her, who are as loyal as can be
A lovely game of ball, by the river when the work is done
Laughter and joyous singing, until the ball is lost among the eddies
Odysseus appears, stalking out of the forest like a lion
Her maids flee, but Nausicaa stands her ground calmly
Takes pity on a stranger, sent by the Gods from far off
Gives him clothing, and food
And bids her maids to let him bathe, and offers him guidance
Advises Odysseus on how to win favor, with her powerful mother
Clever Nausicaa, helping the hero Odysseus
Sweet Nausicaa, singing and good praising
Compassionate Nausicaa, kind to strangers from far off
Beautiful Nausicaa, compared to the divine Artemis
Nausicaa, the fresh young maiden
Like a pure new rose, beautiful and soft
Protected by thorns, wickedly sharp
A goddess among mortals |
