King Valiant
#WritcoPoemPrompt40
Light the lamps for the king returns,
Victorious and valiant,
In an eternal battle with,
A ten headed enemy...
(I don't know how he's been
Victorious in an eternal battle,
Since it would never end,
But okay.
That's the prompt,
I'm going with it.)
Riding his white horse
Into the city
His sword shining crimson
With blood.
(Also, if he's the king and has been
Fighting this monster for I guess forever,
Who's been ruling the city in his absence?)
Greet him with songs,
And a great feast.
For lo! He has defeated Darkness
Incarcerate!
Behold! He has thrown down Evil
Embodied!
(Insert witty, sarcastic comment here).
