The Joust Sonnet No 3
Context each a feature, joust by name-
Whose length of lance shall contact be made first
Both are measured equal, and held the same
But only one shall win, the other cursed.
And intricate does a magical reform
Both horse and armour contribute to show;
Some skills, that to entice shall new inform
Be something that the other didn't know.
Where this becomes as close to misdirect
It doesn't choose a whereabouts or plan
But instincts out to find it then connect;
To make the fall to ground, a weaker man.
When honour was presented to enthral
It chose the braver option over all.
