My original poem conceived at 3:18PM 3/29/2023
Fell in love with the fairy queen
She was truly a rarity
Was not all that it seemed
He then turned mean, laden in jealousy
Never again to be seen,
But she remains in his dreams.
My revision written 10 minutes past midnight 3/31/2023
Fell in love with the fairy in green
She was a queen, truly a rarity
She kissed his mind that screamed mine
Warped his thoughts, painted them obscene
She was a fiend, not all that it seemed
He then turned mean, tainted in jealousy
She left him cruelly, never again to be seen
He awoke in heat abruptly from his strange dream.
The latter is highly inspired by La Belle Dame sans Merci by John Keats. I don‘t want to replace the original because it tells a slightly different story.
