Ode to Wicked Queens
19 lines showing my adoration with villainesses
In shadowed halls where heroines falter and flee,
I pledge my heart to the queen of the night
Her venomous charm spreads beautifully
She weaves her webs with a siren's decree
Toppling thrones in a cascade of spite
In shadowed halls where heroines falter and flee
No caped crusader is a match, you see
For in her laughter, the stars lose their light
Her venomous charm spreads beautifully
I hoard her monologues, fierce as the sea,
And toast to the schemes that she plots with delight
In shadowed halls where heroines falter and flee
Her crimson gown trails like a prophecy,
A blade in silk, where the righteous mistook
Her venomous charm spreads beautifully
So let the good triumph, their banners unfurl,
I'll kneel at her altar, unbowed and unmeek:
In shadowed halls where heroines falter and flee,
Her venomous charm spreads beautifully

I'm a big sports fan, especially hockey, and I've been a fan of villainesses since I was eight! My favorite shows are The Simpsons and Family Guy, etc.
