Poem: Winter's Kiss

[meridian_rose]

Title: Winter's Kiss
Prompt: Winter
Type: Terza Rima
Warnings: a mild threat of sexual assault but in a non-explicit way often found in folk songs - and ultimately it is only a threat, for this is no ordinary woman; character death

Snow was falling on the ground
Soft and white and cold
Winter's chill was all around
Through the woods he strolled
He came upon a pale dame
Quite a beauty to behold
"Tell me love, what is thy name?"
"I'm Nieve," she did reply
"Nieve, you are in my domain,
With you I will lie."
Her eyes flashed an ice blue;
"Well, you can but try."

His corpse was found and this is true
Frozen solid, through and through

Pow~! That'll show 'im!

Love this, and (very tangentially) timely, as I've just finished reading Girls Made of Snow and Glass by Melissa Bashardoust, which features a character that is in the same general archetype as Nieve.
