For Plucky Two By Nine Contest

Written on 2/9/2015

Once upon a time, a King sang a song A voice so fine, making a Princess' heart rejoice But still in school, she sat against her will Sitting, wishing to retreat to him, his lips kissing Alas, undiscovered, this true gem pined and suffered The wise king, whose intelligence, known far and wide Searched diligently, for a blessed maiden to come willingly Then, behold, a guiding light leading to her home Her laughter, his strength, their love endured ever after.

Thank you, dear Sandra! You also did well on some of your recent wins, which I read (and just commented on). I am surprised I even got a placement in this one...it was hard!

Why, thanks Arlene! It's a rather simplistic poem, but as you know, I was trying to do it to format, which wasn't easy! ;)
