| I wanted to share with you an assignement that Sir Matthew asked his squires to do both me and Emeraud
First Sir Matthew asked us to write a really straight poem about the lions which we both did and gave sir matthew but I dont think Émeraude has it computerized.
Mine is the following
The title: Why are the Lions so good on the battlefield?
Why are the Lions so good on the battlefield? Is it because it’s their playing field? Or because they fight And they bight To get better? Or is it because they are the beholder Of the knowledge forthcoming, Now, there’s no more time for waiting.
Communication Is the basis of the quick destruction Of their enemies Who worries. When our eyes meet That’s the only word we need for the adversary’s defeat.
Devotion Is a quick work for dedication Lions are devoted to each other and their duty Because it’s finality is light’s glory.
Truth Even the youth Join the Lions Seeking glorious actions But remember, every friendship Starts by a partnership Where truth must be it’s first ally Against any lie.
Faith Should not be like a wraith Considered corrupt Like the word worshiped. Lions know that believing in oneself and others is hard But in our business if you don’t, you’re creating your own guild’s graveyard.
Love Is like a dove You must care for it, adore it And share it. If you defy the most important of principles of all You will create your own downfall Lions are like a family Who stick together in the face of the enemy
Remember those words Because they may be sharper than any swords. And may you know why the Lions are so fierce, When, the enemy lines they pierce. | |

| The next poem, was a bit more difficult. Sir Matthew asked us to write a anglo-saxon poem, where not the verse rimes with each other but you try to find words in the same verse that starts with the same letter,
This was my attempt.
Title: Everyday knighthood
From time to time, the tried in battle Warrior wields his sword because of words Spoken, to salvage someone’s honour. Thy becomes a knight knotted Of veritable and valuable values. Thy sword and shield will not scorn Over a fight may thy be fewer neither will thy flee. In thy heart, thy controls the heat of battle. In thy mind, thy meddles with his might So that thy may be pure of power and prowess And defeat thy dark dreadful opponent.

| As a squire I find that Sir Matthew may ask of us strange things.
I believed he wanted to diversify our training, not only as a warrior on the battlefield but as a true knight which is not only combat. Writing poem was an art and was part of the customs in those times, since most history was oral.
I would like to thank Sir Matthew to ask of us to be more than combatants (warrior) but much more.
I hope these poems may inspire people to write poems as well. Also, many stories were told last winter court, it would be nice to have those who told them make a computerized records of it. | |
