Penning Chivalry MAG
March 13, 2008
Between school daze
and summer knights
I sit in my scholarly tower,
Penning chivalry
of the noblest sort.
The epitome of manhood,
Black ink spurs forth
his college-ruled steed,
toward the spiral-bound
damsel in distress.
She is held captive
by the tightest of margins,
her ransom clearly demanded
on the syllabus.
He fights incoherent thoughts,
empty passion,
and clichés of all shapes and sizes,
bravely rescuing said damsel
from the securely zipped back pack
of her own quivering mind.

AMAZING POEM! has a nice rythm, ending, isn't confusing, and its not extremely long but not short either. I wish i could write with that sort of creativity and still stay on the topic i started with.

for some reason this poem really hit me., i think its absolutely wonderfl. Correct me if i'm wrong, but it seemed like u were sayin that u never had enuff space to write ur heart out, and then it switched around to sayin u were traped in a back pack, and the pencil with the knight.,
i absolutely loved this one :)
well done well done

Wow, this is a beautiful poem. I loved how it sounded so complex and yet I knew exactly what you were saying. The comparison between ancient ideas and modern reality is riveting. I loved it!

Is this supposed to be a metaphor for a backpack? It sounded like you were comparing a gallant night to a pencil.

This poem is really cute. I was very impressed how you were able to intertwine the two contrasting subjects together and make it work together. It was very complex in your words, yet the point of it was simple and straightforward, so I liked it.

This was adorable.
The idea is portrayed clearly and the flow of the poem adds to the simplicity and almost naive essence of it.
In other words, really great! Keep writing! (:
