Princess Purity!
\nby cricketjeff on March 15, 2008.\u00a0 \u00a9 Jeff Green, All rights reserved
\nA castle on a hillside where the Princess scans the sea
\nFor ships to bring a rescuer, from abject misery
\nThe dragon that has scoured the land exacts a heavy toll
\nDestruction of the kingdom seems to be his only goal<\/p>\n
The King and all the bravest knights, were bested by the beast
\nAnd since their death in battle all the agony’s increased
\nThe Princess with the golden hair, is loved by one and all
\nIs waiting for Prince Adamant to answer to her call<\/p>\n
For Adamant’s a mighty man, who rides a huge white steed
\nThe knights who form his coterie, are urgent for the deed
\nHis fleet must hurry homeward, ere the Kingdom is all lost
\nThe Princess in the hillside tower may pay the highest cost<\/p>\n
On mighty wings the Dragon flies, the castle to assault
\nA dragon’s always hungry for the treasure in the vault
\nPuts his powers forward, turns his flames onto the walls
\nWill the little fleet arrive before the final castle falls<\/p>\n
Landing at the jetties in the port some miles away
\nAdamant and all his knights have sworn to save the day
\nWith banners white with angels on and clad in brightest steel
\nThe Bravest of the brothers know that this time it’s for real<\/p>\n
The castle’s future’s looking grim, the worm has made a breech
\nAnd the final band of soldiers and the Princess are in reach
\nThe trumpets of the Heralds sound that Adamant is near
\nThe few remaining villagers can summon up a cheer<\/p>\n
The worm now turns and smites the first, the second and the third
\nThe Dragon is so powerful the battle is absurd
\nBut Adamant gets in a blow, his lance square on the beast
\nThe Dragon is annoyed at this and makes his horse a feast<\/p>\n
As Adamant lies cowering The Princess stands and sings
\nThe Dragon starts to hear the sound as shaking in its wings
\nThe Princess who is loved by all, is pure in thought and act
\nA virgin Princess of the line has power to attract<\/p>\n
A Flash of silver, gold and white, a unicorn appears
\nHe’s stood as her protector ‘gainst the greatest of her fears
\nIts mighty head is lowered for a charge at lightning pace
\nIt strikes the dreadful dragon hard upon a fatal place<\/p>\n
The Unicorn though mighty cannot last beyond this blow
\nIt dies and takes the dragon to a doom told long ago
\nFor all the world now knows it, with reluctance we agree
\nThe powers of men and dragons cannot stain her purity!!!!<\/p>\n
Author notes
\nThis poem has a twin, neither Dalaney nor I had written a fantasy of this sort.
\nUntil now.
\n4000 miles apart and in a challenge we arrived at the same ending 10 minutes
