Notes About The Poem

A Sam Scott poem:

Listen to poem:

Joust

Jesters dance, yet this contest is serious
One maiden's favour flutters above the clamouring sound
Undertones of fear, but the crowd is delirious
Someone will thump and clatter towards a dusty ground
Today a new hero will be revered and crowned

A knightly tale, that will send one to hell. All for the handkerchief of a fair maiden. What men will do for a woman. Nice entry, Sam, good luck! Bill
