Poem Body
The sword was from its scabbard drawn
and thrust into the air.
The knight was now a foolish pawn
in taking up this dare.
He stood alone against a dragon
to save a pretty maid,
without suspecting aught was wrong,
the trap was so well laid.
The village knew it would not wait,
the monster had it's price.
The maiden purely used as bait,
the knight, the sacrifice.

the knights are easy bait. Try sacrificing a king or queen much harder.
A very well written piece, Keith.
Thank you
your good opinion is always appreciated.
Hi Kieth
I read this as the political parties putting candidates up for becoming the target of voters' rage......I'm likely wrong.....stan
It was
not written consciously as a political statement but I can well see how it applies.
Short and pithy
and very well written.
Really enjoyed.

Short is easier
for my garbled brain to hold an idea long enough to write it down.
hey Keith
hey Keith
tight little chain of thought with no extraneous baubles hanging off of it which would have only snarled it, and dragged it down. It hung gracefully in its simplicity
Thank you
Al, I am touched that you could find so many positives in this simple piece.
