The Plot Iambic Revision

Upon a time, a story once composed.
Across the pages dancing letters waltz.
Met eyes. Together, him and her apposed. 
The villain, against them, inflict assaults. 
It leaves us guessing, due to twists and turns.
However, does the hero save the girl?
Distressing times until the girl returns.
A fight against a dragon, swords unfurl.
Heroic. Saves the girl, and dragon slain.
Afraid no longer. Village folk’s delight.
Wedding. Love is true. Continue to reign.
Espoused, and she is pregnant. Future bright. 
Life is less a book, and scripts offhanded.
Plotless stories. Rules unwritten. Candid.

Great iambic pentameter sonnet... I love the iambig pentameter blank verse to write in, it flows so nicely. Plotless stories :) I love it how the story is no story.
