My Camelot The moon shines down upon the trees And lights milk white the dancing leaves. Tuned to a lilting age-old lay; Once more to Camelot I play. I'm drawn into the smell of rose, Into court sounds, as eyelids close-- Allegiance sworn to Authur's might And Guinever's soft-beauties light: Time-honored quest of Holy Grail, With Galahad and Percivale, Sirs Urry, Bors and Lancelot; Fair chivalry with ne'er gain's lot. Round table's fellowship of knights, One hundred ten by honor's right: The jousting fields of blooded sand-- My fantasy of twilight land. Dream's rue, a brew, a sort of coup-- Doing all that I cannot do. Who would not be king for a day? Ruling over all that he may? From reverie or ruse or scheme, I glean each wonder of my dream; The moon, the leaves, the tune, the plot; My chariot to Camelot. |

Why is there such magic in Camelot? So many poems, so many stories, and still the magic works! Your poem works, too. |

Sue, Camelot is a dream about a dream and everyone loves a good dream. Thanks for the read. |
