No Knights Remain


No Knights Remain
Tell the damsels to go away
no knights remain in this neighbourhood
their shields are broken and carry
the bluntest of blunt swords
their horses are in the meadows
their squires making daisy chains
and their armour is so tarnished
know it shall never shine again
so tell all the damsels
they will need to find their own way
build ropes with which
to climb down from towers innumerable
learn how to sneak past their captors
or to lull dragons into deep sleep
for all the knights are gone
their spirits have drained away
seems they are mired in the bogs
of in decision and doubt
a bewitching place for such men
of physical courage and bravery
to not know what to do
to see they are as vulnerable
as every single maid or damsel
they had ever saved or thought to
they had once wished to love
instead a fog upon them deep
a magic spell or enchantment
which it seems has put their best natures
into the very deepest of sleep
made them useless to save damsels
and these battle hardened muscles
thoughts of guile and martial skills
they put aside for seducing
those milk maids and princesses feisty
enough to search these knights out
and bring them once more to life.

    Sir,
    first of all, thanks for your reply.
    you said 'not sure a feminist thought' but, a feminist also advocates the independece of women as you commented that 'rather than awaiting someone to carry you off and make you the centre-point of theirs.' I think you will agree that independece is significant for both men and women, and for knights and damsels.

    Surely, your writing is abundant in thoughts, not merely limited to one point I indicated above.
hmmm.....yes.

perhaps I do not particularly allocate that to be a solely feminist perspective, rather one we can all advocate. Equality, and respect, means we ignore the gender, and are blind to race and religion, instead treat all as equal, all as human, without regard to matters which might divide us.

as for the abundance of thought...some things require thought, and some seem to be self-evident.....though perhaps in a world where commonsense is not always common, such an attitude that some things are self-evident reflects a life of privilege and of a cosy insulation from the real hardships others face.

indeed there is, more importantly all of us, boy, and girl (going with high level basic gender groupings here!), sometimes are in distress, and need the saving by a knight of either gender.

Remember, similar to the fact no one on the internet knows if you are a dog or human on the other end, the old Medieval statement, you never know who is beneath the helm and plate-mail armour....

but what prize? what prize should he collect? i think a tin whistle, as a leather mugmaker might carry to play while drinking mead from said mug, and which a rat-catcher might use to call out the rats of Hamlin town....

    Quoting yesmamallthetime:
    Mulleen, you have a few men commenting on this poem. It is interesting. Some call such thinking in this poem as advocating independence and even feminism. Good calls. As much as I wish to be saved and afforded safe harbor I am the one that has a caretaking nature. I am ever the one who finds the broken men. I don't know if to react to a knight at this point. LOL
it is interesting, isn't it?

however independence of thought and mind, of gender and art, ha always been so. from the Renaissance till every tomorrow.

Often the game is the mugmakers, leather, and the rat-catchers, itchy, which form the time, and the SCA may suspect such a tweaking of the framework of chivalry for damsels to save the bewildered knights, maybe beyond their scope of engagement.

thanks for the comment.

well thank you very much for the comment and the compliment. I doubt I caught all the nuances of modern society in one poem, however often what is written, is not as important as what the words say when read by another, by the attachment they form with the words, and their own world and experiences.

once the words leave my keyboard it is the reader's own perspective on the words that then drives what the words say to them. And long may writing be so. Cheers, and if you have the ability, feel free to go back through my other posts, though I suspect only a bare few would deal with this topic.

not sure if this a long loud wolf cry of exclamation in the night, or perhaps the 'w" key is sticking on your keyboard.

I do wonder as to what the wow is in relation to....

    Quoting esorkcaj03:
    you're really good at words. It seems that you're urging women to be independent, no more depending on men, a feminist thought.
hmmm, not sure a feminist thought, however the concept men will be there, of a patriarch for every family, though circumstances, desires, and wants, does seem to have declined.....and if you were a damsel or maid, now might be a time to acknowledge such a change, and set forth with your own motivations, rather than awaiting someone to carry you off and make you the centre-point of theirs.

and many thanks for the comment and compliment, and....well it may well be you read a better interpretation into my words than I built there myself.
