Illustration Friday ~ Talisman

Lady Belinda was beautiful of heart
Though her outward appearance gave town folks a start

Her dreams of a suitor had not yet come true
With only internal beauty, what’s a poor hag to do?

So she consulted her Grimoire and found a grand hex
She enchanted a ruby and hung it round her neck

She squealed to the mirror “Why Belinda… You’re hot!”
But her mirror was faulty… to others she was not!

The lesson to garner, so you won’t be alone…
Keep the hope in your heart and not in a stone.

    She is cute! I don’t think she needs any magical powers to create a sensation. She is sure to get noticed wherever she goes.

    Ya gotta watch out for those faulty talismen, eh? Poor Lady Belinda. Perhaps she’ll find a prince who sees her the same way she and her mirror do.

    Really lovin’ your characters and poem combos here, Roberta. I do think I see a book in the making?
