RE: Steemit Poetry Contest #15 + Winners of #14!

Here's my entry for this week. It may be a little confusing if you try to read it aloud ;)


A Knight at Night

I met a knight one night as I was walking through the park,
Perched atop a shining, stately steed.
The knight he said, "The path ahead is swallowed by the dark,
So stick with me and follow where I lead."

The night said "Fear me, tremble boy, you should be home in bed."
The knight said "Stay behind my flaming lance,"
The night said "Turn back now, you fool,
My darkness soon shall spread,"
The knight just said "Take courage and a chance."

We pressed on through the dark, and though
I didn't know the way,
The knight protected me with light and song.
Fight the night, or else it might your resolution sway;
To give up and go home is more than wrong.
