The Champion The glare of the morning sun Is blinding The stage has been set The gauntlet had been dropped The challenged met The gallant steed beneath me Is excited Rearing with anticipation To speed down the soft dirt Of the jousting lane. My visor is lowered The flag dropped Onward two heroic warriors Thundered towards each other To meet their destiny Lances at the ready Aimed straight ahead Like lightning cracking within a storm Lances splintered Into a thousand pieces. One warrior remained mounted The other’s soul Seeped from the mortal wounds Leaving behind the lifeless remains Of a brave knight The Champion Atop his steed Prances as if on parade To accept the trophy From his once maiden in distress “Her Loving Heart” By :William Bonilla “D’Artagnan” 08/21/09
