Camelot

Missing image

Camelot

Defend me sire, defend me with thy might,
‘Tis I who art the lady of thy dreams.
Thy wondrous pow’r resides within my sight,
‘Tis I who harbors all the King’s regimes.

No less a lady fair I bid thee well,
‘Tis I who art the mother of thy young.
Within mine arms thy children all shall dwell.
My name shall last with legends that are sung.

The knights have sworn they’d give their lives by sword
and save me from the hand of Meleagant.
The thieves shall take what they cannot afford,
Yet thou shall save me from the solders cant.

Protect me for I am your Camelot,
the castle that shan’t ever be forgot.

    I often read and enjoy your sonnets, this one no exception as many of its characters are visited here, Camelot and English history is solid favourite with me, well done.

    I would have loved to live in those times. Even without our modern contrivences, Camelot exuded an elegance worthy of a Hero's defense...

    Aww, sis, you haven't failed
    It was rather quite clear that the poem is in the Castle's point of view - even when I've never heard of Camelot before - though it sounds vaguely familiar. There is also one more thing I adore in this poem - the english is very old english giving it a rich british feel to it and it's not something just anyone can achieve - unless ou're british yourself. It's one of my favourite tones of writing - wait scratch that - it is my most favourite tone of writing!

    This is great! I really like how you wrote from the castle's point of view... Very unique.

    And I read your comments below... What's a anthropomorphism?

    Always,
    Cassie

    Nice way to sweep me off my feet, AMERA!!! This was freaking excellent! Obviously I love that you chose to write in a sonnet. And the fact that you wrote about Lady Fair and her Hero... VERY nice touch. Thank you darling for entering this wonderful piece and good luck.

      Thanks Tarya for the wonderful comment. I apologize with this one, it seems I failed. It was susposed to be an anthropomorphism, the one being protected was not the lady fair, it was the castle Camelot herself.

    You stretch the boundaries of the sonnet yet again! Massive work here. Your poetic sense is amazing. This is the grandmama of all anthropomorphisms. Amazing and grand.

    Bloody good as always, although I am never sure about the liberal usage of the second person singular in English, should not a Knight always be addressed respectfully?
