A Tale of Strategy and Valor

I wade ashore at the crack of dawn with a spear and a shield in my hands. 

I must have frequently trod on death unaware.

The square sails of our fleet flutter in the breeze behind me 

As the dragons search for my adversary and their little spears, 

Which swarm like flies. The mail coat rubs on my shoulders.

I have no escape from the sea, but none is desired, 

So by the next high tide either my fanatic will point as promised 

Or the battle-watchers will have taken me all.

I am a thread in the tapestry of history today.

Poem summary:

The poem above is a short, descriptive piece that paints a picture of a warrior wading ashore at dawn, ready for battle.

"A Tale of Strategy and Valor", seems to be a descriptive tale of a warrior who has just arrived on a beach at dawn, ready to engage in battle, based on the context provided in the poem. The savage wields a spear and a shield, and their mail coat, which is causing discomfort to their shoulders, is rubbing against them. Behind the warrior, the square sails of the fleet can be seen flapping in the breeze as dragons search for the adversary and their small spears. The fighter has no interest in evading the sea even if they are aware of the possibility that they would perish there. Instead, they wait for their opponent to arrive or for the eyes of those who are watching the conflict to fall upon them. The statement that the fighter is now a thread in the tapestry of history serves as a fitting conclusion to the section.

 Overall, the poem captures the tension and danger of battle, while also conveying a sense of stoic determination in the face of uncertain outcomes. The use of imagery and metaphorical language adds depth and meaning to the piece, and the short, concise lines create a sense of urgency and immediacy.

POISONOUS THOUGHT

When I found your pale face on a pillow,

A nest so heavy with nothing on willow.

The sheded leaves had erased the allure.

I hardly noticed in the late-night obscure.

By this law, the knees are laced with spontaneity.

Must I insist on an absence more unreasonably?

When you look at me kindly and generously

 

Who am I to stop this flowing affection so harshly?

I can’t see for the glum in my bed in traverse.

It can stay in the heavens only by reversal.

If i can't watch the creator, I will lose you.

What angel takes the place of distance in leaf que?
