Alanna's fate

Alanna's fate

Did she decide

Her hero saved

A king from regicide

Then dear Daine

With wild wizardry

Got rid of Orzorne,

Carthak's misery

Next Kel's tale

Of the second lady knight

She gave warring Scanra

Quite a bad fright

Aly, Aly

Was Alanna's daughter

A master spy

Not even gods could stop her

Last, Beka Cooper

Was a Provost's dog

She sniffed out criminals

In Corus' smog

Tamora Pierce's legends

Of a land called Tortall

Have made her the most famous

Of them all We wish ;;

She has writ wonderful stories

Ones everybody should read

They will surely amaze you

That is my confident creed

The Lionesses' Song

That is her first

Then there's Immortals

By far not the worst

Next there is

Protector of the Small

They will intrigue you

And leave you in awe

Also exists is Trickster's Choice

And it's sister, Trickster's Queen

Those fabulous books

Will paint you a marvelous scene

Last but not least

Is Beka Cooper: Terrier

Tamora's latest series

And the more, the merrier.

Go find these books

Look near and far

Read them all

As a memoir

Do not forget

These wonderful works

And ponder the making

Infact, go berserk

Now some background

On Tamora's life

She was a Pennsylvanian

With only a little strife

She grew up a "Hillbilly"

And was sort-of poor

But once she got a taste of books

She always wanted more

Pierce took up writing

When she was young

Got a bad brain block

And when it was done

She was alive

With imagination

Magical stories

Flew from her pen

Went to college

To learn psychology

Bombed the course

"No good at math" Said she

She has many years left

To live, so be happy

Spread the word

Of her musical litanies

They will live on forever,

& THAT IS MY CONFIDENT CREED
