WELCOME

This is my blog (now there is a surprise!). I will be sticking in it poetry, prose, random musings, things that take my fancy and more than likely lots of pictures of cats. I hope you find something to amuse and/or interest you here.

Friday Poetically - Challenge from http://onestoppoetry.com/

Thanks Brian, a tricky challenge.

A Knight of Old.

A knight of old can not show fear
He must take peril in his stride
Yet I am frozen solid here
I’m literally petrified.

A white knight should be strong and bold
A knight of old can not show fear
And to his knightly vows must hold
To fight for all that good holds dear.

I feel my doom is creeping near
I can not lift my sword to fight,
A knight of old can not show fear
Yet see me petrified with fright.

This stony embrace holds me hard
Will future squires laugh and jeer
Or will I put them on their guard,
A knight of old can not show fear.

    Thanks JL. The blame (and credit) is all yours. Without your blog and prompts I would never have tried new forms and styles.

    Lol Pen you took the high road and I took the low road! Yep were all searching for the valiant knight. Heck I'd be happy if he could write his own name at this point lol!!
