Roundabout Knight

it reads the same forward and backward..

The consecrate knight of burnish bronze
on mighty steed off he rides
no longer searching for his maiden fair

His rage long passed as well wounded pride
he leaves her at the parapets
found in another's arms upon the breastwork

Return he did from his righteous crusades
betrayed by love gone awry
he froths in tears of destine dismay


He froths in tears of destine dismay
betrayed by love gone awry
return he did from his righteous crusade

Found in another's arms upon the breastwork
he leaves her at the parapets
his rage long passed as well wounded pride

No longer searching for his maiden fair
on mighty steed off he rides
the consecrate knight of burnish bronze

I like this. It has a lot of minor problems with tenses, etc., but I like the idea. You need an "ed" here:

The consecrate knight of burnished bronze
on mighty steed off he rides
no longer searching for his maiden fair

and a "d" here:

He froths in tears of destined dismay

There are some awkward lines here, but they really don't detract from the poem that much. I think you have a talent for writing, but need to brush up on a few things. Good job over all.
