Greetings, Beholden!

I'm here as a fellow member of the PPC5 challenge.

Surprisingly enough, I can appreciate trolls as well. They've gotten a bad rap over the years because of the modern idea of online "trolling," but honestly the only bad troll I can remember is the one under the bridge from the Three Billy Goats Gruff. (In fact, I felt almost a little sorry for the troll there when he was trampled underfoot...)

As you might know, I'm a Frozen fan, and the trolls there are portrayed in a fascinating way. They are the wise ones who raised orphan Kristoff and have an understanding of magic, which Elsa's parents were afraid of. When Elsa... Well, I won't spell out the whole thing. The trolls play an important role and they're good solid creatures.

Having expressed admiration for your unique choice of mythological creature, I now have to offer at least one suggestion as per the B.E.A.R requirements. I see you have uncapitalized opening letters, which creates a conversational, story-like flow. I usually instinctively capitalize every line unless they “spill over,” which can get weird *Pthb* I have also developed the habit of, perhaps learned from my participation in I Write last year, including a word count as well as a line count. It’s become quite useful to see how many words get used in poetry. Twice now I’ve attempted a Drabble poem with an allotment of 100 words (one in rhyme and meter and one in free verse.)

Take care, thanks for sharing, and keep writing *HeartT*
