Sheri Evans Poet Rhyme

A Tale Still Told

The tale begins
    with a maiden so fair,
Trapped inside
    of a dragon's lair.
Relying upon
    her shining knight,
To rescue her
    at dawn's first light.
She watched the dragon
    pacing the floor,
Until he grew weary
    and paced no more.
When suddenly
    to the maiden's delight,
Through tired eyes
    she saw her knight.
With shield held high
    and sword in hand,
The bravest knight
    in all the land.
Escaping the dragon's
    fiery breath,
He fought until
    the dragon's death.
And riding off
    for home at last,
Her kingdom's terror
    was now the past.
And though the tale
    is really quite old,
Children still smile
    whenever it's told.
