an upbeat poem using the word rain, rein,
or reign … or all three. Here’s a bit
of silliness.
Submitted to dVerse September 12, 2017
There once was a fair maiden
Daughter of the king (long may he reign)
“I’m at a loss“, he said, “to control her
No matter how tight the rein”
So he set out to explore his kingdom
Through sun, sheets of sleet, and rain
To find a knight for his daughter
Who’d become such a very great pain.
At last he found the perfect knight
And soon the girl was wed
“You’ll find her quite a challenge”
To her groom, the knight, he said
But now his daughter was smiling
At last he’d got it quite right
All she ever really wanted
Was for him to find her a knight.

ReplyDeleteHow great to be able to tell a story, and in rhyme..the most I have done is a limmerick or two. Great poem!
ReplyDeleteShe became a pain so her father would find her a knight. Nice story!
ReplyDeleteAh... that's the way to get your will... yes a story in poetry is great to tell.
ReplyDeleteA medieval lay to use all the words in Lillian's prompt. I always swoon over knights and their ladies. Well done, Bev.
