Ode To Rowena Ravenclaw

by Costerboster

This was who she was , Rowena Ravenclaw. But even she, has her inescapable flaws. This is an old HEXRPG contest entry that won me third place.

This was my entry for the 9/03/2012 Ode To Rowena Ravenclaw contest on HEXRPG that won third place.

For knowledge, she has most abundant
Her curiosity sparking as a mere infant
In mind and mentality, she furthers advances
Her clever mind, which skips and prances

This lady who stood proud and tall
Did not anticipate what would befall
This was who she was, Rowena Ravenclaw
But even she, has her inescapable flaws

Her mind was quick, both a blessing and a curse
Her wisdom in all subjects were wide and diverse
But she was always alone, her intellect a barrier
Making people around her, always feel inferior

Garnering knowledge soon became an obsession
Attacking her books with an unrelenting aggression
Scouring the texts, in solitary, in both day and night
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light

Famed and admired were her notable endeavours
And the mark she carved in will be there forever
This was who she was, Rowena Ravenclaw
But even she, has her inescapable flaws
