Princess and the Dragon

I had to write a dialogue poem for my creative writing class. I don't write poems. Ever. So please feel free to dislike my attempt.

In the name of trying new things, I present my poem.

Princess and the Dragon

Princess Clarissa
Why am I here? I see no advantage.
The vacant halls whisper squalls of solitary air.
The silent chambers yearn for conversation.
Chairs sit fallow, fireplaces void of warmth.
Why am I here? I see no advantage.

Dragon Keeper
I keep you here. The reasons outnumber the stars.
The blank halls sing silent songs to you.
Soundless compartments are your charming companions.
Unused objects offer themselves to you.
I keep you here. The reasons outnumber the stars.

Princess Clarissa
Why must I stay? I see no advantage.
The nourishment is tasteless, your selection poor.
Stale, shallow food hesitates on my tongue.
The wine is corrupt and of insignificant variety.
Why must I stay? I see no advantage.

Dragon Keeper
I keep you here. The motives out number the sands.
Food flows as free as you can consume.
The simple sustenance sits sweetened in your mouth.
Delightful drink divulges your appetite.
I keep you here. The motives out number the sands.

Princess Clarissa
If stay I must, show me the advantage.
Outside I kept myriads to converse with.
Beyond the fortification breathes forth sunlight.
Exterior acreages hum out freedom in sonnets.
If stay I must, show me the advantage.

Dragon Keeper
I want you here. I cannot number the wishes.
Individuals divulge disagreeable stories without drive.
Entities can harm you past my safeguards so sufficient.
Ache also accompanies the world of freedom.
I want you here.

But go if you must.
