Snorting stamping straining eager for battle dappled, mail clad, charger thunders into view in clouds of billowing steam spurred on by master's passion rearing turning awaiting battle. He pauses grudgingly tense from rider's fire shaking snowy head awaiting battle. Sir Knight suited in plates of steel cloaked in whitest silk surcoat holding ivory shield, emblazoned with gilt wings of an Angel dips his lance to flame haired princess receiving her token freely given then smiles as he spurs his mount onwards awaiting battle. Black Knave armored in trickery shielded by cunning words rides slowly forward awaiting battle? The Champion chuckling softly turns his back disdainfully returning to his love's side and says softly, "MY Lady I need not soil my lance with his foul blood for the battle for thy heart was won long ago. But know thee now shouldst need arise I, servant and champion am here awaiting battle." "We are the music makers and we are the makers of dreams." - Willy Wonka. |

Loved it in Open....love it for the book. In order to keep a true perspective of one's importance, everyone should have a dog that will worship him and a cat that will ignore him. |

Parker, were you the guy in the rather fetching steel armour with the brass epaulets, second from the right? I'm glad the imagery transported you.Kit, thankyou Tis always my pleasure when my poetry brings joy to others.Thanks Pete, it's nice to know there are others who still see the relevance of chivalry in the modern world hehehe Thankyou Heather, you've got me blushing  I don't know about a lucky lady... you need to ask her, but I can certainly tell you she is a lovely lady!Sharon, GOOD  I think you're right Sven, though a truce may need to be declared in the printing room or it could get ugly Janet Marie said "perfect imagery"! *happy jumpy bouncy smiles!* Good man 'Deer Thankyou all. I remain your loyal servant, Eric. "We are the music makers and we are the makers of dreams." - Willy Wonka. |

Glad you bumped it up, my friend. If you hadn't, I would have never read this beautiful piece. And more importantly, I would have never voted for it!
