Precious Poetry Princess

“Pretty,” praise people pertaining to the Poetry Princess.
Pretty precious poetry princess
dances during dull days
with words woven when white winter wanes.

Pretty precious poetry princess perfecting prose.
Lips lick lyrically lulling lords
by bashful bellowing of beauteous ballads beneath bluebird boughs.

News never notices none not known now nor never,
but beauty brings bright benefits beyond
popular people’s proud ponderings prone to profit.

Wildest wonderings whenever we
see her standing still, staring and stealing scenes.
In magical moments of making music move many,
she shines as slivers of silver sparkle
upon pages printed posing poetry not pretty
but bold, beaten and bone
chilling chosen by children chiding
for truth-telling to teachers treacherous.

Masked monsters make money
and tragically truth turns
rotten
forgotten
useless
Pretty precious poetry princess
Salvation of sonnets.
Rescue by rhyme.

Ya got me. This one was a right bugger to read aloud, so me hat goes off to you for this elaborate alliteration. Challenge definately well met.

Endlessecho,
1st read through, vague, but interesting.
2nd read through, both the above, but with a concept forming.
3rd read through (I may be a bit slow) if I'm not mistaken you're describing our shared mistress ( and no, I don't mean "Madonna"). Well written, wordsmith, who wields well wroughten weapons with wondrous wit.

It's funny how we have to read and reread when we're being so alliterative, isn't it?

Endless-Echoes ever exceptionally...
