I loved the simplicity of this poem. It’s short but gets the point across. I enjoyed reading this because even though you didn’t write much, the words that you did write was powerful and showed how you admire this person or object. I hope you continue to write more in the future.
I love the image you create. A sphinx implies mystery and beauty. I admire your view of such a princess. Keep that eye for beauty wide open. Keep writing!
