Fair Princess and Plain Maiden

Language: English

Title: Fair Princess and Plain Maiden

Author: Christy Tse

Author's note: No offence for all the fair princesses! This was created for fun and was inspired by the phrase: "Beauty is skin-deep". Also, as a plain maiden myself, I wrote this as a kind of consolation perhaps. *LOL* Enjoy the sonnet!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fair Princess has the right,

to expect a future that is bright.

But a maiden who is plain and dull,

what should she do?

Life to her like dark, dark night,

and she is waiting for the appearance of a shining knight,

for her dark world, he will bring in light.

Plain maiden can be clever and bold,

fair Princess can be just a gentle soul.

Plain maiden can have a heart of gold,

fair Princess can have a flaw no one knows.

Beauty cannot last forever, and time will flow.

What is the difference between the maiden and the princess,

when they grow old?
