Fortnight of never
Thee thought it clever
Henceforth the shards of swords
Only God be thy Lord
Blood spilled future willed
Later he drank from my chalice
With humble malice
Surrender Alice , thy fair maiden
With this defeat, your soul be laden
Retire thy sword or fall upon it
Only cause you dared
Your life be spared

Gave me a sense of King Arthur and the Knights of Old. I guess chivalry probably died around the same time.
Nice write

That is a catchy title. Nice.
This was fun to read and visualize while following along.
//Retire thy sword or fall upon it// ...
Clever. It seems the choice is clear, but we all need a reminder now and then.
Good job with this poem.

Good one, Jim. Fantasy in a Rainbow song comes to mind.
I/'/ve been hearing a lot about Alice lately. I know Smokie sang about one and there/'/s one that fell into a rabbit hole. Who is that you refer to here? :) |

| Beautiful, love the Arthurian feel. Those are some killer closing lines. |
