A Knight's Soul

[CristoVII]

In truth, I'm quite unskilled at poems. The only thing I'm good at is putting my feelings into it.

I stare at
the brilliant armor,
the colorful tabard,
the glimmering sword,
and polished lance

Materials believed
to be essential to the knight
Despite the ignorance
Of peasant crowds

Knights must guide
the flow of honor
with a metal
yet gentle hand

Not the armor
Nor the sword
Or lance
Or a name on an official list
Makes a knight a knight

It is containing the feelings
of Honor, Loyalty, Justice
Contained in the
Manifestation of Honor itself
Behold the knight's soul

I like it. Don't be so hard on yourself; I can tell you're pretty good at poetry.
