The Poets Joust It was a joust of renown throughout the land With the greatest of prize, fair maiden's hand Fanfare erupts, and the crowd they cheer As two brave knights, they do appear With hearts on sleeve they take their stage They're face to face across the page Through sharpened quills the ink flows free Sweet words of love they penned with glee Spoke of moonbeams, and stars, and candlelight With such eloquent words 'twas an amazing sight Through words of sweet memories and forbidden love They failed to see the flight of that precious dove And they battled with such poetic might The contest it raged late into the night While they fought for a love which wasn't theirs Fair maiden took flight, left behind her cares With her trusty page she rode into the night For he was her true love, HER brave knight "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |

Wonderful EagleOne ... I loved the smooth flow in this. Thanks for the smiles ... it's amazing how quickly a maiden can disappear when the joust itself, takes presidence over "her" LOL, great read! Best wishes, /Kit |
