Bhurin Posted February 15, 2002 Report Share Posted February 15, 2002 Here's an oldie but a goodie. It's actually the first poem I basically ever wrote (one that I sat down to actually write), and this was some years ago now, as I was rather young. It's a little rustic, but I think it'll fit in around here nicely. Enjoy. Dragon Warrior A knight, mounted on his steed standing tall, With one thought in mind; "Will I stand, or will I fall?" And with this thought in mind, he rode up to the cave, While the villagers thought, “He’s either dumb, or he’s brave.” Upon reaching the cave, the knight then dismounted. He said goodbye to his friend, every last moment counted, Then taking out his shield, and unsheathing his sword, Thrust it into the ground, and prayed to the Lord. Then taking it out, he walked into the Abyss. Hoping the monster’s sight he would miss. Then the battle begun! And there was yelling and roaring, And these horrible sounds to the town, they came soaring. Then all grew quiet. Everyone was tense. The only sound was sheep, baaing from their fence. Every maiden grasped her kerchief, every man clasped his flagon. Just then the knight stepped out… He had slayed the dragon. Signed- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gyrfalcon Posted February 16, 2002 Report Share Posted February 16, 2002 Yep, Saint George. *Gyr smiles* Nice poem, an idea is to modify it for a humorous ending... somehow. Like the Knight collecting the 50 gold pieces the dragon owes him from poker night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon2001 Posted February 16, 2002 Report Share Posted February 16, 2002 I like the ones where the Dragon wins Good poem though, and amazingly, the lines are long...I've noticed all of my poetry has really short lines. this one doesn't. Don't think I'm crazy, just tired.
