A Real Knight

Ideal in every way

My Knight isn’t one of shining armor,

His metal is dented and worn.

Even so he’s a charmer,

A bit rugged but far from forlorn.

So warm and mighty,

He smiles brightly and fights rightly.

In his arms I know I’m secure,

I know I’m adored, reassured.

His dark allure is intoxicating,

While mine is more demure.

He’s not in the least aggravating or dictating.

Maybe a bit frustrating,

And entirely captivating.

I wouldn’t trade him for any other,

No matter how shiny their armor.

Tried and true! If a knight's armor is shiny he must not be a good knight! A dented and dirty armored knight is one to be proud of - he has proven he will work for what he wants. As long as he treats you like the queen you are, who is anyone to say he's no good for you. Well done. Written well. Kudos.

[SSKaitlyn]

Thank you so much, and you're absolutely right, love. Absolutely.

[Gee]

My armour is into the rusting years but my love holds true for the good lady wife

[SSKaitlyn]

Good, because that's what matters. I only hope I can earn a knight of the same spirit.

You really don't come across as needing "rescued"...
chuckling here... nor as being "broken".

[SSKaitlyn]

I'm not, and I don't need rescuing, but that's besides the point of the poem. Thank you for your review though

[Chris]

I readily understood the point of the poem... the "comment" was directed toward you as an overall author. You're "reaching" well and the "voice" works.

[SSKaitlyn]

Alright, well thank you. Glad I'm able to do that.
