I want this to be a proper drama;
One of those delightful-in-the-end stories …
That begins with a modest, under sung hero
Journeying , let’s say northwards.
It has to be against adversity
And to challenge overwhelming odds
And maybe not begin too well.
The dragon-foe is too cunning,
Uses artifice perhaps, or
The opposition tribe too powerful,
At least it appears the case …
But neither can best our hero
And his honest, hard won skills.
And we will stand straight, sit still,
We will shake our spears,
Proudly hold our red-cross shields
And fill the arena with noise and choruses
About gods saving queens …
If you can end it famously.
Is it possible bard?
Excellent!
Thank you. The poem was actually bitterly – composed on the way home from a terribly frustrating football match in Bradford. (You may already have guessed my team was not so successful ;-{ )
My commiserations 😦
I await the bard’s reply … heh
