A Poem For a Lady

See the sapphires roll down her cheek,
See the warrior humble and meek,
See him leave her week upon week,
See him find the battles he'd seek,

Watch the Lady cry out in pain,
Watch her hold back and refrain,
Watch her wait again and again,
Watching for him in freezing rain.

Fearing the day he will not return,
Fearing his flag on the field will burn,
Fearing he will lose the loving yearn,
Fearing all she'll have is his urn.

He knows she needs not fear his life,
He knows he pledged long ago to his wife,
He know her turmoil and her strife,
He know he'll return to his fife.

She'll be waiting out in the rain,
She'll be standing in the snow again,
She'll never become too plain,
She'll be all he desires, no different, the same.

Just a quickie I wrote umm, like a few minutes ago. Hope you enjoy.

I like the repetition. 😄

Yeah, I agree, I think your poem has a very strong sense of rhythm and unity.... I use that structure in my work quite a lot 😄 Well written.

danke. i try to do a little of all types of poems, this one just flows together in my head well enough to use this style.

It's a comfortable style isn't it? I find myself at ease when using repetition, I can concentrate more closely on my vocabulary that way 😊

Ja, eet ees gut. ha ha ha.

Das ist sehr gut, Ja? naughty

Ja. Ich bein gut. Wundebar! heh heh. Sprechen so little Deutche. oi... I can mostly just get around a biergarten, not much else. hahaha.

That's pretty much all one needs to know to fulfil cultural expectations..... I'm British, by the way 😉

Hahaha, 1st gen amaerican, but soooo close to being born in Das Fuherlund, sans Fuher. fascism bad. ehh, but my cool family is German, so i like them better.

Love the movie quotes, btw. ( not all of us think through our collective genetilia. just most. )

My family are a weird mixture of Romany gypsy and northerners 🙄 I'm a mutt 😂

hahahahah. yeah, the best kind of person. haha.

Nein... Syren, wo kommst du? In England? Hast du ein Hause in Northumberland?

Dunno if that's the correct structure for the last sentence... 😉

I was born in Wales, to a Geordie father and a Norfolk mother, my mother's family are descended from Romanys.... lived in Germany from about 1-5..... then England ever since 😄 I'm an Air Force brat.

Lucky You. haha.

yea, Dreamin' hear is just a goof from somewhere. Just so happens to live in Alabama. Hey Willie Mul, make sure your get linked to someones internet. That way i can pick on you online and you cant come over to the house and whollop me. hehehehe.

Waiting for my aunt to get home so i can borrow her E version of xp so i can fix that pc you gave me. When thats dont, i will have two pcs to play around with. Get both hooked with dsl so i can switch back and forth. Then when i get up the cash, i can send you a letter and we can make plans for me to come to dall too.

Das ist gut, mein hund. Although, JJ, i will DESTROY YOU!!!!! mwahhahahahahahahahah!!!!! 🤘
You cannot escape the madness I bring,
Nor find any shelter on which to cling,
I spread my chaos through the centuries,
Like the most virulent destructive disease,
My insanity draws you nearer still,
As you sense the biting chill,
My mind swallows you up wholly afraid,
No time to rethink the choice you have made,
Welcome to the ride of your life for eternity,
You'll soon laugh along maniacally with me.

I like your poems DreamingWarrior!! They're good!

gratze cold. is nice to be appreciated.
