     I was inspired to write this after seeing Isabella's fantastic shadow puppets. After doing some reading on the matter I made this abbreviation on the epic tale. I hope I did it as much justice as Isabella.

       From far western lands rode one gallant and brave.
    On destinies path awaited souls to be saved.
    Beside lake sized still pond he met his fait's quest.
    Lurked death feeding beast beneath watery rest.
    Then to a place sacred behind veil mercies face hides.
    Presented sacrificed gifts of lamb and child brides.
    In terrified courage came what wealth could not buy.
    A princesses last plea that no other should die.
    Withered fears void it's spirit lies in empty lost will.
    Hell's challenge arose from waters quiet and still.
    With faith and knight's lance banashed unholy made deal.
    Bandaged wound behind maidens fair dress it concealed.
    To village Silene marched the brave and the damned.
    Praising the one he sent back servant of doomed under land.
    Stands now a cathedral with healing spring gorge.
    Ware told is the tale of the dragon and Saint George.

    You sure did justice to the tale! How beautiful is your writing!

    And thank you so much for your kind words.

    Lots of Love,
    Isabella
