The Girl And Her Dragon Poem by Kevin Maroney

There was once a girl, locked in a tower,
Up so high all she could do was sigh,
As she looked down at her dragon without the power,
To escape from the beast, her horrid captor.

Each day she cried and raged to herself,
She wished to put an end, to all of it shelf,
And as she jumped from the window so tall,
She resigned herself to the perilous fall.

But then something happened she did not predict,
As her supposed jailer from the sky her tooshe did pick,
And onto her back did she offer a ride,
And yet first the princess would face her far more dangerous pride.

As she battled and thought long and hard,
She thought of her past so lost and marred,
And so she did something she had not done so far,
She took out her hand and reached for the stars.

She rode her savior till the ends of the earth,
She saw every place she'd ever dreamed of, so very much was it worth,
As she soared through the air more free than ever,
She realized something which before she had never.

The tower had been of her own construction,
All she needed was someone to help with its destruction.
Her dreams were reality, easy to see,
As she flew through the world on her dragon, forever happy and free.
