I really likes this. I guessed the name on the “as gold you weave until it glitters” line, but it was still really clever and tricky. Really fun!

Oh! Im not really well versed in most fairytails but even IIIIII should have known better.
Well done!
*applause*

It’s been a long time since I read that fairytale! But I used that name to describe my frustration recently. Nice job on the poem - I felt the darkness that is missed in children’s versions. It’s as scary as an Arthur Rackham illustration!
