The epic continues

Ok heres part two of our four part epic poem.

To the king he went

To his aid he came

But away was sent

The king thought him tame

To help he did vow

Against evil fight

He did not care how

So right the king’s slight

He went to a man

Who had arcane lore

‘Cross all, his mind span

Found the trouble’s spore

A beast was the prize

Shadow was its cloak

Eventide its guise

And its passage smoke

The fiend how to slay

The wise man did teach

What words he should pray

The right tone of speech

Our hero went forth

To the demon’s hide

Out to the cold north

‘Cross frozen lake slide

Hope you enjoy, please feel free to comment.

  - Sorry I couldn’t join for the week Jingle, as I mentioned on an earlier post, I’ve been unable to go on my pc for ten days, so sadly I’ve not been able to keep to my usual standards. Glad you enjoyed it.

- I’m glad you enjoyed it, even if it may be a bit of over selling by calling a 24 stanza poem an epic.
