Comment from Maguy Daoud
Now my dear friend the time of wars, every country in the large world fights and have blood in the ground. Maybe they have causes to fights for, maybe they have rights will not given to them until by force. But in my opinion, I hate wars, I hate when I see innocent people died for nothing.
We are living those times now in Syria and other Arab countries. I wish the war finished from all countries so we can live in peace and in a quite mind.

Comment from Selina Stambi
Again, grand, sweeping lines, so very worthy of the subject.
Love the final couplet, and the sparse(r) sprinkling of alliteration!

Comment from Preston McWhorter
Hi, Treischel,
Excellent as usual-- would be a possible 6 star if I had not used it, Beautiful rhyme and meter. Appears to meet the requirements of the The Tuscan Strombata if I were not to lazy to scan. The closing rhyming couplet is fantastic expressing the wish that knights would not pay for glory with death and blood. actually a goal of the middle ages--jousting tournaments and single combats for example. Brings back romantic memories of reading Howard Pyle on the crusades and wishing for glory as a teenager. The picture is great.Maybe you could tell me how to do that sometime.

Thanks Preston. I'm glad you enjoyed the tale. Glad to help any time, how to do which, add a picture or tell a story?
-
Hi,
Actually the picture. Your pictures from YAHOO
are great. I can post the From FanArt but any thing else is beyond me. I probably have to figure out how to tell a story by myself.
Thanks, Preston

I knew that, was just being humorous.
Search for Yahoo Images. Then you get a box to search by description. When you find one, down load it t your computer. Then when you create a poem select "From Your Computer".

Thanks I will try it. Do you know if there are size requirements for posted pictures with poems.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Those days of fair maidens and knights, how romantic they sounded, but oh dear, weren't they cruel days too. I am glad those days are long gone, but I still love to watch and read about them in the safety of my 21st century home!! Great poem, Treischel, so glad I stayed on a bit longer to catch up! xsx Sandra

Comment from NicciFaye
Excellent picture - great imagery of battle.
Surperb poem - rhyming, flow, and felt of the ol medieval times. Fav lines are "Watching battle lines reflecting armor's shine,
Whence nervous warrior pass a flask of fine wine.
'Tis ownership of land, causing much ado
About which King's claim is false and which is true"
Then the blood red back ground well expectionally well.
