The Strength of a Princess

Dreams rise from pink sheets when a twinkling night falls. As moon petals bloom, imagination calls. In fairy tales told from a medieval town, a beautiful princess dons her sparkling gown and adorns flaxen hair with an ornate crown. She then sheaths her sharp sword and scales castle walls. Her prince gives a kiss as the fierce dragon falls. Written 6/19/20 Contest - It's Only Make Believe Sponsor - Regina Riddle

I think Gina will be ga-ga over this one. I am ga-ga plus goo-goo over it too, but as a macho male, I don't dare admit that, so let me walk that... forward: I've flipped my wig over it and my dentures sailed downstairs over the railing! ~ Pops
