Jerry T Curtis Poet Rhyme Royal

Robin and Marian

North of Nottingham, there lies a wood

Clothed with fern in Dartmouth green

A barefoot Beauty, There she stood

The likes of which, the worlds not seen



A man observes, but undetected

Concealed up in The Major Oak

She drops her hood, quiet unexpected

Gently slipping off her cloak  



This man, a thief, price on his head

Cannot resist his captive heart

In great danger, he gladly sheds

The massive tree's concealing art



You might conceive, this shocked the maiden

Confronted by a rogue so bold

But his eyes were so love laden 

She touched his hand, he touched her soul



He leads her to his camp in secret

On the ground lie jewels and gold

But his eyes could never leave her

The greatest prize he ever stole

Isaiah Zerbst April 24, 2014 at 1:54 PM Congratulations! Excellent meter and word choice decided this one, even though I was looking for more adventure. The talent really makes this one stand out! Jerry T Curtis April 24, 2014 at 9:23 PM Thank you Isaiah, i knew you were looking for adventure and had no expectations of winning your contest, but it was the picture you posted that inspired me to write as I did, If not for the picture there would be no poem. Thanks again for the glory. JTC

Deborah Shiells April 23, 2014 at 7:07 AM Hello Jerry, Every once in a while one comes across a poem that is above exceptional. This is one of those time's. Thank you for sharing this great write. Peace, Deborah Jerry T Curtis April 24, 2014 at 9:31 PM Thank you Deborah, I believe yours is the highest praise I have ever receive for anything I have ever done.

Jerry T Curtis April 20, 2014 at 9:17 PM Thank you Dave, I wasn't sure anyone liked this type of thing, but, like most stories I write, there is more. Dave Timperley April 20, 2014 at 9:30 PM Love poems, sonnets all good stuff. Look forward to some on Sherwood and the Lincoln Green Hero. Did you know that one of the legends has him dying by poison at the hands of his cousin The Prioress of Armitage Priory on the edge of Huddersfield? Makes you wonder about his being buried where his arrow lands, about 150 miles away is my guess, not bad for a dying man!!

Dave Timperley April 20, 2014 at 9:03 PM As Neil says, not seen a new Robin of Sherwood, or Robin & The Maid for a long time. Looking forward to seeing this Epic unfold if indeed your thoughts go along that line. You have enough characters to work with. Good write. God Bless. D. Jerry T Curtis April 20, 2014 at 9:21 PM Thank you Dave, I wasn't sure anyone liked this type of thing, but, like most stories I write, there is more."

Neil Mcleod April 20, 2014 at 6:57 PM Now there is a great start. I have not seen a good new Robin poem for ... well ages. Let's not stop there there is much to tell I see a new retelling of the tale in Dartmouth Green. Well done! Neil Stewart McLeod Jerry T Curtis April 20, 2014 at 8:59 PM Thank you Stewart, perhaps there is more to tell.
