You obviously know a lot about Celtic mythology Gwen.

I liked the story of this and the "other worldly" feel, and as a Knight in Tarnished Armour myself I felt for the guy.

Gwen this is a terrific poem, before I read your comment about facing west. I thought the knight was facing west because of the setting of the sun. peace

"Foiled, are my plans!
Lost, is my beloved!
Unborn, are my children!" OUCH! Elegantly sad writing done with class. This is a masterpiece of painful words. I adore this.

Note: In ancient times, Kings, noblemen, etc. were often buried with their heads toward the west with the thought in mind that when they "arose/stood up/began" a new life, that they would be FACING EAST, viewing the dawning of a new day/life.

Note: I wrote the poem a few weeks ago, but after finding Richard's poem last week, I rewote the first three lines of my poem to agree with the picture.

A knight's prayer at the end of his journey. Just to have his head headed West when placed to rest. How simple the request ... but what an untold story it tells. Very good Gwen. Bill Murray
