Saving the Princess


Through starry night the dragon soars
O’er darkened streets and sycamores
While the city sleeps behind locked doors
At the castle the dragon roars
And carries off the princess
Torches now light the way below
The city takes an orange glow
A single archer nocks his bow
But cannot hit the fearsome foe
Escaping into darkness

Night covers their headlong flight
’Til another city comes in sight
The palace windows all alight
Waiting to greet the scaly knight
Who flew to save the princess
And was crowned with gold upon his head
Now she rests in her own bed
Fireworks burst overhead
As the joyous news is spread
The city bathes in brightness

  3. i most often find
    as a dragon
    of late
    night
    dance
    i get so
    many more
    dances when i
    drag no fair maidens off into the
    night
    as
    words

    around
    about dragons..
    and on top of that
    my wife IS A fairest of them all..
