[hometext] => pride they say goes before the fall, read this if you agree with this adage.
[bodytext] => Pretty she was like a duckling Sun rise to sun rise adorn with flowers So cute that her head is bald Unlike vampires she lives by the day And like humans sleeps at night She has won herself a heart Heart of a gentle man of the castle Or so it seems for his cloths so suggests And he spoke courtly and gentlemanly ‘ He must be a gentle man’ she resolved He was known to wear courtly cloak This gave him as one from a royal stock So her heart leapt for joy Finding completeness in her ‘royal boy’ The royal boy who is Bishal by name Truth telling more proud she became And sang of her gentle man’s name In songs so choral in so many a way And told of things he is yet to say And even those he will never dare So it chanced a fateful day came When Bishal was to meet his ‘dame’ But she wanted a friend to be there Who from thence witness shall bear So her chorus may henceforth bear harmony Amidst Cecil’s cloud of impatience and anxiety Richly dressed he came but in modesty He greeted the friend in a light air While she enquired of the crown and its heir For she was known to the court as it was it was to its occupants There Cecil stood like a tree of grape Astounded she forgot her mouth agape For she just found, Bishal is an attendant of the crown He is the court’s fool or better still clown Who could tell of all this but time After her long ride in pride Here she stands at the brink of the fall [comments] => 1 [counter] => 117 [topic] => 31 [informant] => fish [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => StoryPoetry )
