'Her song, guttural,
bizarre such as spewed
from whence she’d come
and yet all the fires
of Beelzebub
could not harm her;
touched, as she had been
by the hand of God.'

- love this stanza, Tina! And I agree with Shirley, great take on the IP and a truly extraordinary character ;)

I would certainly agree with you there, Magic. Extraordinary to say the least.

Thanks for reading and glad you enjoyed. Have a great weekend;-)

Only one slight niggle - it's St Christina The Astonishing!

It would seem that we are not the only ones given to writing about her - there's a Nick Cave song and a 'collection' about her already.

Good poem though!

Another one of those senior moments, I think, Tony. Thanks for putting me right;-)

Tina

well done Tina, I didnt realize this was ip, so sad, what did you call her before astonishing? K xx

Awesome imagery, and so mournful, you've nailed this one, Tina!

J x

Yes, it is so sad, Kahdai.

As to your question, I called her 'Amazing', which I guess she was as well;-)

Tina xx

Thanks for that, Jennifer. More than appreciated;-)

"Hunted as a freak –
she roamed the land
in rags; she whose breath
on glass, or so it was said,
left not a mark.
Harlots and thieves
gave her alms and in return
she bore the burden
of their sins."

Such a powerful poem Tina with amazing imagery. Well done on the cherry :) I'm sorry I'm late again!

Beeme - please don't apologise. I am more than grateful for anyone to read my stuff and not only that, take the time to comment so carefully and thoughtfully as do you.

I thank you and am so pleased you liked this one. I have fun and learned a lot researching it.
