Where have all the knights gone?
Underneath stars so bright
Riding ivory mares
Sheathed swords of many fights
Blushing maidens do stare
Where have all the knights gone?
Custom armor shine bright
Beautiful castle spire
Rolling hills in peace sway
Of young lads do inspire
Where have all the knights gone?
With unmasked chivalry
And unbridled honor
Of only truth doth speak
No merit to ponder
Where have all the knights gone?
To speak of days long past
Fills my heart with sorrow
Never more will we see
Brave knights on the morrow!

This poem is certainly better than mine but, I used something simple to get the point across. Plus it was an excuse to use my dog in a poem. Anyway, I really enjoyed reading your poem. You are quiet the poet and you have an eye for adding just the right picture.
Have a nice night.

Almost forgot! Thanks for dropping by Poefusion and trying out the new poetic form. The Sestina will be next. I'll post the form sometime before tomorrow night.

Thanks Michelle, I bet your dog is as cute as your poem! The picture in the poem is actually a picture of downtown Schweinfurt, Germany. Where I was stationed in the Army. I actually wanted a picture of a castle, but all my castle pictures are on 35mm, not in digital format. Thanks again for the kind comments and I look forward to trying the next poetic form!

The repetition draws me into this poem.
