LEGEND

LEGEND

A story based on fact – well, perhaps
It seems picky to suggest any correction
Many details, but also with some gaps

Back into history is the likely direction
Featuring a brave hero or famous King
It often claims a historical connection

It actually serves as several other things
Itemising details in anatomy illustration
An understanding that description brings

It can be the famous words of a nation
Appearing also as a comment or quote
Often as words beneath an illustration

It is something famous that can inspire
A tale retold, of which one doesn’t tire
