Day 190 - Herstory


Holding up the stories of ages
Tightly bound in gold leaf pages
Garments that fit a princess
Green envy as an address
Of the letters that tell a tale
Of a golden knight unable to fail
She has a tongue as hot as flame
Though her smile seems quite tame 
The same lips that curl to brighten a room
Warn loud and clear when danger begins to loom
She advocates for everything
That has a story growing
The stranger in her quickly smiles
And journeys off for endless miles
