Ah, lassie, ‘tis a tear I see- A tricklin’ down yer face- Faith! an’ dost thou weep for me? Fair maiden, sweet an’ chaste! A warrior, aye! an’ quite the rogue... At least I’ve ‘eard it said. I’m told I run, quite like the fool- Where angels fear to tread! Ah, yes, me blade’s Toledo steel- An’ cold as arctic ice! An’ aye! I’ve warmed it wi’ the blood- O’ varlets once, er twice. I dinna ken the infamy, Wha’ goes wi’ blades fer ‘ire- For dead, be dead, fer alla tha’ A livin’s me desire. To farm a platt, or toil fer fish- Or wield me arms fer pay- Why, lass, we all must gi’ account- The comin’ judgement day! I ‘ear the tramp o’ booted feet- A comin’ down yon trail- I must be gone on courser fleet... An’ end me Traveler’s Tale! |

Ah presented like a true Texan, and your best shot hit its mark, this was excellent. I am going to look for more of yours to read, I love this rhythm, it is harder to do than most realize, great job! ~*~A poet is someone who reads more than they write ~*~ |
