Poems from Elle's perspective

Ode to Elle Tarygaryen

I'll tell you a tale, but not of a hero,
just a woman who does what she can.
She's not after odes or accolades,
she's just helping out, well, that's the plan.

She loves to be part of the team, that's true,
the camaraderie, the teamwork, the bonds,
the friendships, the feels (as Norb puts it),
the thanks when a reviewee responds...

She's reluctant to blow her own whistle,
but will when she's prompted, I guess,
so let's take a look at her triumphs
and talk a bit of success.

She challenged Andy to a battle
of reviews at the Red Wedding site
Elle came out victorious, but
he truly put a fight.

She challenged Mona to write a poem
all about dragon's fire,
a tough contest, so close,
but Elle's poem roared higher.

Mona challenged her back,
to a poem about mouses or mice,
Elle reminisced on her childhood,
and squeaked in with the win which was nice.

There was another review battle with Aqua,
and both reviews were indeed worthwhile,
but Elle just came out on top
which left her beaming a smile.

She's been tortured by the wheel,
but earned big points for every task,
she's still got ten reviews to do though,
to complete the wheel's latest ask.

She's writing poems now for week four,
got some good, inspiring prompts,
a chance to break out some fanfare,
some circumstance and pomps.

Where things will end at the end of the month,
well, that's really anyone's guess,
but one thing's for sure, this crowd of dragons
are destined to impress!

Don't think that this is over,
Elle's still got so much more to give,
just watch out, other houses,
Targaryens will outlive.
