The dragon flares it's nostrils
As the minstrel plays the tune
The knight errant rides again
But refuses to see the truth
The image in the looking glass
is that of a facade grown old
The strength that holds it in place
Is the cracking mortar around the core

Good economy of language in this, I'm impressed.

It nice to see the knight spirit still exists, Look deeper in the mirror to she the shadow of the knight within you.

Irish Rose -  I'm trying to vary my writing style. A change from the epic poems I am usually penning. Thank you for your kind review.

Kethry -  hand me some windex so i can look at that mirror.  *smile*

This is nicely done.
The change in style becomes you.
I enjoyed it.
