Notes About The Poem

Poem written for contest I word chosen "Illict" Deadline missed.

Illicit

Fair maiden was guarded by chaperone
Yet her vision was filled by a gallant
He too wondered how they could be alone
Then he remembered the jousting pageant.

Their encounter would be quite illicit
If his liege lord knew feelings were engaged
Her favours he would take quite explicit
Their feelings acknowledged and wholly assuaged.

Wonderful day sky ethereal blue
Strong-brave knight carried her silken favour
Both knew their precious love was pure and true
Thundering horses fearless to danger.

Their love life doomed maiden in dire distress
Her knight unhorsed, dead, they'll be no caress.
