Poem written for the prompt "a crown of ebony and bone."
His arm never weakened when holding his sword.
His courage never vacillated on the battlefields.
The valorous king was victorious.
His soldiers were covered, as promised,
with honor and gold.
History will tell how strongly he deserved
his crown of ebony and bones.
His hand never failed when killing with his sword.
His ferocity never waned on the captives.
The vicious king was ambitious.
His soldiers were driven by promised
plunders and female slaves.
History won't tell how harshly he earned
his crown, with agony and moans.
