Many Mighty Men

There had been many mighty men
Found fighting over and over again
And you had fallen into a trance
From sword sounds and a long lance.

Clanged together all of them seemed to do
And then the next thing that you knew
Bodies around a big field were spread
Blood flowed forth and all were dead.

Much mourning and tears had taken place
As they flowed down each one's face
Others bodies were badly burned and seared
As well as hair on head and even beard.

At the end were smiles and a sweet kiss;
None of the movie would I want to miss
And maybe again next time I can see
The whole entire moving movie on DVD.

Wrote this after watching latest Hobbits movie and Tolkien. Lot of action, killing and emotion.

BRAVO you did good with this one. Expressive and the imagery through the words is strong The thing about dvds is you can pause at any time and watch them over as often as you want.
