Ne'er has father turned his wrath upon me,
and I adore that he could see,
Mother was never his to be
In the lught of her welcoming heart,
Father impaled a dagger, oh so sharp.
For in truth I wished her dead,
Mother never appriciated our family name, just know that 
our former glory ought to be acknowledged by every man and woman

I've spend many hours adream wishing for the death of mother
smothering myself in the love of father
so when he sought a new lover
I woved that his former fear of castration would come to life
Cause in truth, I am the only girlæ for the man who made me
All I wish is for him to see, that I was his to be
But he will face the same alienation that fate game Oedipus
Yet, he'll never walk another mile for today we'll put him in the ground

  1. I think this is the first time I've read a version from the p.o.v. of an imaginary daughter of the Duke/Duchess, so that is a refreshing take. There are a few story elements missing, most notably Pandolf and the whole painting story.

  2. I like how you made a poem from the Duke's and the Duchess's daughter's perspective, I think this is a creative and different take on rewriting the poem and one that could turn into an exiting story.
