The noble knight lay,
on crimson ground,
breathing his final breath,
and he whispered,
to the world,

"So be it, that I mark this spot with my blood,
with my life,
Let my burial shroud,
wave proudly upon this hill,
so everyone will know,
that I died defending my country.
I swore a vow,
to protect her unto my death,
but now, at death's door,
I make another promise.
I vow to defend her even after death,
so that no invading force,
nor conquering army,
shall breath one breath upon her rich soil."

With those words,
he left this world,
and a country mourned,
their brave and fearless knight.
No idea where this came from, but I was reading King Arthur last night and I guess the medieval theme kinda stuck with me.

As alway comments are appreciated and thanks for reading!

Thank you for the criticism, I will certainly learn from it. However I write my poetry the way I do because it is spontaneous. I'm sorry if it gave you a 'butchered impression'.
