First Test, by Tamora Pierce

An Ode to Protector of the Small, by Tamora Pierce

Denying prejudice
A new law made
All but one prevail
Who will take charge?
Keladry of Mendelian

Bullies, doubts, men, oh my
The palace is not big enough
All under one roof
They tease, mock, and bury
But she fights back in a fury

Page, she is now
Up and up she goes
From page to squire
To knight

The lords and ladies frown
But she raises her head high
No one will break her
For she is the
Protector of the Small


-By T.A., grade 10.
