Lady Una and the Lion

Walking in the meadow of life on that summer day Where she always loved to be at Una walked along the steady stream As she picked up the white Lilly flower and put upon her hair of gold (princess of love) And the daughter of a dander king Una suddenly turned her head to the old orchard tree and begun to sing roman lullabies of joy With tears of affection shed for the god who lives above the skies At that moment she gazed back to the stream And there the lion stood so tall just like a king eyes wide looked to una As she went toward the mighty lion he went to her and utter'd thee words I am a creature of pride with nothing to hide I am pure of heart true of courage with a mask of savage a mane gold as our hearts- She became very happy and intrigued As she laid her gentle hands on upon the lion she spoke these words -I love thee lion and by sun and moon I love thee freely as men strive for right; I love thee purely in my old griefs and childhood's faith There a tiny lamb appears right next to her and the lion So small and graceful like a gift from god above The tiny lamb followed them further into the enchanted meadow sky as crystal blue and the wind is calm they drifted off strung into the world To bring new love joy and courage to the world and spread good faith www.illusionsgallery.com/Una-Lion.html

Greetings, Brian! I don't think we've met before, but I was pleased that you entered my contest. I very much like your poem and the imagery it expresses. You have an amazing imagination for these medaeval ideas. I think with a little editing your poem could go to the top!
