Just a little poem.

[Arat-Falathion]

Just a little poem I wrote. I thought the structure was funny, so decided to post oh, and I bet you can see which verses has gone through more work than the others



Of King and Knight

...throughout the long night paced vigil they
from siege to war to righteous crusade
will heralds clarion homage lay
echoing names of revenants true...

...where stories of noble battles grew
in lands afar that's known to the few
who walked the trails of somber hue
battered men whom with swords parley...

...and of such men just one prevailed
in battle for the kings own grail
the soldiers cheered, the women prayed
when hero rode to perill's core...

...where crimson dragon of ancient lore
guarded treasure with fire blore
to fry those came claiming ore
high above a drear hemlocked hill...

...he soared and watched his lands until
the knight came riding to fulfill
his mission for his king gone ill
the cure of dragons blood to bring...

...the dragon lunged for prey riding
but mistake caused underestimating
the knight whos lance was long and thin
piercing dragon, deaths sudden lure...

...and home he rode with bottles of cure
to knowledge and fame, a honored sir
he cured the king but at evening he erred
when doughter of king him to chamber enticed...

...and there the knight spent night after night
till rumours of love between doughter and knight
was known throughout kingdom and sight
and king in anger permission refused...

...though knight and beloved lies abused
to cover their love from rumours that roused
but king quickly knew and their love was loosed
when knight lost his head in the end of the day...

...but...

...throughout the long night paced vigil they
from siege to war to righteous crusade
will heralds clarion homage lay
echoing names of revenants true...
