The Pen and the Page

The young knight walked tall and straight
His last rations his horse hath ate
But on he walked on through the night
Left behind, his steed and might

A sad leaving was his friend and steed
For Steve was smarter by far than he
But his eldest friend was sad to leave
Though even now he has forgotten Steve

And on he goes without his might
He once had strength, but not tonight
Always there, it was his aide
Now a memory that slowly fades

Head down and stubborn he carries on
Not knowing ahead is a large dark spot

With one last step, he starts to sink
But his knowledge to his page he’s shone

With him surely death will stop
But the page’s power lies in ink

This night’s knight that time forgot
Erased by the pen the page did drop

Cheers for the Poem. Took all of it in. Does the poem continue or end here.

Kind regards,

bally

That's it for this one I'm afraid. Short and sweet, and done in my confused pattern which about 15% of my poetry is done as such. So adding to it would ruin it in my opinion.

a reply to: JDeLattre89

No worries, was just looking for "the end" sign off. I thought there may be more to come.

My kind regards,

Just caught this (the threads need to be pinned), well done.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

Thanks, and from you that means alot. As for pinned . . . well it is on p 3 for the contest announcement.

a reply to: JDeLattre89

I meant pinned to the top of the forum. This way you can see the entrants without having to sift through all the other threads. I'm sure Tenth will get around to it shortly.

Ah got ya, I still don't know all the ends and outs . . . ain't it funny how we just keep on learning daily?
