NaPoWriMo Day27

The prompt for today was all about Shakespear sonnets and playing around with them.  While I have studied Shakespear, it's only been his plays, not his sonnets, so I really had nothing to go on for the prompt today.
Instead inspiration came from reading more Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson.  There was a line about women being sweet, colourful, and delicious, just like jam. lol  It inspired me to write a poem about the leading ladies of Sanderson books that I have read and loved.  So hope you enjoy today's poem!


Ladies of Sanderson

Vin
Lowly skaa, lowly thief
Abandoned by her brother, nothing more to life
But one saw her potential, and one loved her as she was
To raise her up and find her strength
To change the world forever
As Preservation's hand

Sarene
Princess of Teod, bride of Raoden
Alone in Arelon, here to make it better
Raise up the commoners, give aid to the Elantrians
What ever became of Raoden?
Stop the war and save her home old and new
To witness the return of Elantris' might

Siri
Princess of Idrian, Godking's bride
Here to bear a son, unite their nations
Rebellious and colourful, love of life
Learns the Godking's secret and earns his love in return
A new secret they share together
And stop the war on her home

Shallan
The scholar with the heart of a thief
Journeying far and risking all for her family
Keen of mind and sharp of tongue
Not at all proper for a young lady
Hair as red as jam, and just as sweet
Bearer of a Shardblade


Thanks for reading!
