Wow, such a stunning piece - both the drawing and the poem. I really love the message. And you are so right, we all know women like this.
All the little details work so well together... I like that you've left the figure and the background fairly simple, and added most of the details to the tower/veil/dress. It balances really nicely. And the expression on her face, strong and poised, beautiful.
Thank you for giving me such a GREAT comment ^_^.
