Ne'er will Excalibur be their's...

by Mr. Darcy   Sep 26, 2015


Willows lament into a smog smothered lake.
The trauma of knights still heard
beneath its murky viscous surface...
hear them bleed their haunted, razor screams
as they ever lose their worst fear: Pride.

    Hi Michael,

    Lovely imagery in this poem, could almost see those knights! This could also be in the dark section, as the language is so sinister.
    I know about the legend and I have been to several places in England that have very old buildings and felt the old spirits there...so haunting!

    Well done,

    (((hugs)))

      Thank you Ingrid, I wanted to portray the lost souls wailing over a shared dream that would never be theirs.
