*Image of Knight Kneeling by Everypixels. Suppliants Soliloquy I turn away a stage no more Set up high on a pedestal To say my peace, naught to be lore, Observed a point, incredible. If this naught be my righteous day I feel my eyes will not suffice, But close my heart its stead, say nay, Kept open to needed advice. I claim no virtue 'tis of mines, For I, a mind, made full of sorts, So worthy be the choice defines, This day mines will then set the course. It is but a crawl through mired mud, Slime of crimes my outer being The innards smell a stench of crud, My essence hid but seen fleeing. I will not heed to ill advice, To consort with those troubled minds, This naught be a good day of choice, To listen to a host of whines. If I could change but one small thing, It is my mindset one accord, I wait what righteous day will bring, Find you a servant of the Lord. 2022 January 18 *1st Place* A STRAND (1057) ~~Brian Strand: Judged 2022 January 22 *HMS: 8 syllables x 24 lines = 192 syllables
