Unimagined Vanquish
Winning strength needs only modest display
Our triumph drawn from hunger within us
Rival forces bear relentless foray
Battle needs bold face of festered brilliance
With dogged raw tooth fight, brandish valour
Weapons are extensions of fortitude
Victors despite opponents' callibre
Our status of formidable renewed
Serving King, to idea of self - strangers
Fortess protection our blood's excitement
Unrelented

Sonnet 13 the Battle of Marston Moor
Five Thousand Men! Blood flowing in the creek,
The deadly sweep and ‘whisst!’ of footman’s pike,
The cavalry broke through where lines were weak!
The smell of grass and loam, a caltrop’s* spike
That pushed right through my boot, and left me lame…
I’m on my own, now, I cannot keep up!
I’ve not a shilling for the boys to

The Arab Cavalry Ride For Locales Damascene, and To Freshen Anew the Long-Vanished Gardens Cordovan
On caparisoned, filleted camels do they
Over the great, soft, tawny sands
Ride;
Unfurled flags and tribal standards flown amidst them,
In the very midst of them-
Of they, who astride great tan camels,
Seem rather scandent and saltant.
These are the irregular, well-armed cavalry of the
"Men In Ambush," for such is the literal translation of their
Nation's

The Cavalry of Woe
(?) Emily Dickinson-
I know the cavalry of woe
Nations do not see.
None observe dying eyes,
No regards with love.
We trust in the angels
With feet and uniforms of snow.

Inspirational Cavalry Speech
Kill! Kill the enemy with no mercy and commence!
Charge! Charge with your heart immense.
Arise! Arise Men of the Commonwealth!
We will approach with great stealth
Let the fiery heat of the sun burn
in your hearts that strongly yearn
as you level your rifles
Be enchanted with the pride that stifles
your hesitance. Be fearless, like the lion
who

A Microscopic Cavalry
I ached. Was sore all over my body, my arms, my legs, my core.
My insides, my outsides, my get up and go had got up and gone to a war.
I didn’t know why my strength decided to leave. Leaving me all spent and beat.
Once I could run, laugh, dance all night long but now I

Calvary Cavalry
In battle dress, a king
Galloping on snow-white steed
Sword drawn and pointing ahead
Crown of iron and gold upon his head
Of a sudden he stops
From shining saddle he drops
Something caught his attention
Saintly praise from those commissioned
For a herd he calls
“Join me,” beckoning to all
Mounting up, resumes the charge
We follow him, near and far

Horses of Cavalry
Hour ago raised the morning sun
The eastern army outnumbers the hussars fifteen to one
The battle has began
Hussar horses with thousand thundering hooves begun their run
Eastern army cannons and muskets will discharge
As the hussars push forward in awe inspiring charge
Before the muskets and cannons can recharge
The front of the hussar left wing is at large
The lances
