Plucky Two By Nine

Your retreat I watch laden with the heavy beat of your soles
Pray strength I keep father as this rough stretch calls to me
In light your teachings to follow my heart fright should not bring 
Oh king you know well it’s dusk to kiss the lessons away 
For school our private chats were and each scoop you delightedly gave 
A princess you said wasn’t all purple so pretense I can’t display  
Fondly intelligence you spoke of as the very essence to a free mind 
And blessed are you for your insights truly blended with my inexperience  
As gem, desire to shine and like you jet more and explore

You tried one that I was afraid of. Good luck in the contest. If that contest is still up, I need to study it again. Maybe i can give it a try!
