Tonight's Poet Corner: Sonnet Solstice #175
She Swam The Moat by Belinda Roddie She swam the moat to get to the castle and slay the mighty dragon that guarded the horde of treasure. As the monster swelled his chest, ready to unleash violent red flame, the brave knight raised her shield and blocked the torrents of inferno. Then she killed the beast with just a single stab and walked up to the door where the fair princess milled about in a locked room, waiting for a typical dashing hero to emerge. "You saved me!" she gasped. "Yes, you saved the day!" The pride in the knight's heart certainly surged. It was nice to prove to the king that she did not need manhood to do the bold deed.
