You know....damn.

The poem works flawlessly with the artwork.

You too are an awesome match, I will say. The wordsmith and the artist. You compliment each other very well.


Gah, I really sound like I'm sucking up. Yes, it is hard to get a compliment out of me :P

Thank you Mael, both for reading and sharing your thoughts on our collective efforts.

Another good poem, and it goes really well with the picture.

The only thing is that the lines "Exists a dryad woman, nature's daughter/And her serpent protector" are a bit lengthy so they sound weird when you read them aloud and throw off the rhythm a bit, and "more" and "protector" don't quite rhyme--I know it's near rhyme which isn't bad, but since the rest of the poem does an exact ABAB CDCD EFEF etc. rhyme scheme it kind of throws it off. I suggest shortening the "Exist a dryad woman, nature's daughter" line a bit--I think it's comma here that's making it sound odd, so if you could somehow make it one phrase it'd work--and find a way for the second lines of the third and fourth stanzas to rhyme.

I'm not trying to be a critic or a dick or anything, I just want to help make an already good poem even better.

No it's alright. Those parts I did recognize and they bothered me, but no solution to them came to mind. Well, some did, but when I changed it around I didn't like the result so I just left it how it is.
