Medb, Queen of Connacht
A Terzanelle Inspired By A Beautiful Work By Justine G. Cappelli of The Chicken Legged Workshop
Introduction
This is my fourth piece inspired by Justine G. Cappelli's gorgeous artwork.
Medb is pronounced "Maeve" (/meΙͺv/ or MAY-v). This ancient Irish name, often associated with the mythological Queen of Connacht, derives from Old Irish and corresponds to modern Irish spellings like MΓ©abh or Meadhbh. It is commonly understood to mean "she who intoxicates" or "meadow".

If You Write A Book, Donβt Tell Anyone
There are days when Iβm grateful Amazon doesnβt tell me specifically who has bought my book and who hasnβt. If they did, I would be heartbroken when I read the list and noticed all the important names in my life were not on my list of customers.

Wonderfully done, Mike
This was so brilliant! I loved it!
It does slow me down, my unfamiliarity with the proper nouns. But encourages us to pay attention too.
The power is unmistakable. GREAT job.
Good job and you can feel her power through your words and the illustration.
