Chivalry Is Not Dead

Chivalry is not dead...




Chivalry is not dead...just in a coma, on life support,
waiting for a woman to come along with the defibrillator!

Premium Member Chivalry Up In Smoke

Lady Guinevere and Sir Lancelot
Trapped in a dungeon, his help she sought --
   Guinevere screamed, she yelled
   But Lancelot, help withheld -- 
Damsels rescued, how quaint ~ This knight sold pot

Love Is

Love is.. a quiet dignity
not handled with flippancy
it dances with symmetry 
and beautiful imagery 
It doesnt give dismally
Beautific is its chivalry
Pretty is its symphony
Brilliance is its proclivity

Ending His Quest

Don Quixote
De La Mancha
ending his quest
for the Code of Chivalry
must not die a silent death
along the golden road of Spain
witnessing a fiesta red Sunset
while the Mariachi windmills and
blue dragons sing and chant

Chivalry

Chivalry is undisputed courtesy and it must not die,
each generation have honored it as those noble knights did....
not that captain who abandoned his ship on quick feet!

Premium Member Stays / Tokyo, Japan 2008

Diminutive,
held in outward sighs,
control, curtsy, chivalry
with oceanic eyes;
Deep dreamer,
forward thinker,
silencer, sprouting poise,
kindnesses core respect;
of place, art and age;
current behavior
from bygone days
Japan stays.

Premium Member Knight In Morning

Chivalry kicks in coffee
cup and caffeinated mess
before touch, oh yes
the reminder that covid lasts
such a cute moment - the dash
made me laugh, and stretch
my lips up — those muscles
herculean do trust people
have a great big heart

The Selfish Poet

I hope it gains for me a kiss
or some other kindliest bliss;
for labors done with poetry,
a reward for word chivalry.
Coins not needed for the lines,
that’s not what an old heart pines;
some say there is another reason,
to seek again a magic season.

Why You Don'T Run Away

How nobility weighs you down
When you wish to run 
Away
But you can't abandon duty
No matter what
You feel
The one who runs away
Lives a life of utmost
Shame
Never thinking for one
One other than them
Self
Nobility
Chivalry
Love
Loyalty
Why you don't run away

I Love You

I  love   you

Love is such a common word
Once used, it is twice abused. 
Vanished are times of chivalry.
Even devotion a memory.

Your love ; a fresh faith fountain.
Our love ; undying devotion.
U and I ;  forever only one.

Premium Member C Is For Chivalry

So enraged by "gentlemen" displaying courtesy to ladies
while ardently blind stepping me for weeks I schemingly 
wore my C-cups strapped into my most potent padded
push-up busting through the seams of a too tight red
trimmed baby pink fuchsia glitter Barbie TM T-shirt
I am girl we roared and doors opened.

Narwhals, Is Chivalry Dead

Narwhals, Is Chivalry Dead?


Narwhals cycle arctic coasts
amidst the icepack
ancient seasoned routes

swordfights, competition, Spring
female conquests are courted
mystic spiral tusks

alphas chose the heartiest
basking in the sun
coastline guides the species well

Rescued from the Shadows of Ruin

My noble Sire Marcus Baracus, your legendary intervention has pulled me from the very jaws of ruin! I am eternally bound to your grace, for without your heroic shield, my cause would surely have perished in the shadows. My deepest gratitude is yours for the rest of my days!

Premium Member Chivalry

If I could travel back in time I would
Return to the great age of chivalry
To meet Sir Lancelot and Robin Hood
In Merry Old England is where I'd be
I would raise my sword for all that is good
And kiss the hand of my fair lady
To scale the castle wall with the moon above
Just to spend a night in the arms of my love

Chivalry

Chivalry is not to fight in the field, 
To kill the crowd and not take shield.

Nor it is to defy the death, 
And try to fight till the last breadth.

Fray the foe and stay with strength, 
Keeping in the chaos line and length.

It is to subdue, the soul in the plight, 
And always be by the side of the right.

Enemy

You're my friend,
yet you act like my enemy.
I see you change color
from the purple
of fairy tale chivalry
to the green of envy.
The hands that glued
my disconnected self
now tear me to pieces.
I am no longer whole
no longer a poet.
My words matter no more,
for you have lit a fire
and burnt them into ash.

Chivalry

Coupled, they brave the storm
and critical exposure
forced by the storm to form
a perilous enclosure.

Under its salvo, they
press shivering shapes together
to limit the foray
of such unholy weather.

Embedded thus, they dare defy
the higher forces. Yet
his chivalry is impotent.
For nature soaks her wet.

Ludicrous

Laugh at me in absurdity
Until you die you shall live in infamy
Death has shown me
Illicit things the world may never see
Chivalry never meant much for me
Ruminating over all I'd never be
Obviously dyeing to know what peers think
Until the day I die I will be an antagonist
Sweet vanguard never knew what I missed, what ludicrous.

Premium Member Yes

Yes I did, I wrote some more
While you were fast asleep
One was from a dream I had
The other chivalry 
I'm playing now, trying to get
A troublemaker down
And bouquets from inspiration?
I'm writing one right now 
I'd treat you like the queen you are
If ever came the chance
I'd love on you with all I am
Et vivre avec toi en France

Numbers and letters on Excel
Determine how I excel
Teacher plays wizard
Competition rises
Prize of apples, robes, cars
Blood thirsty blood hounds
On a chase
Or a race
Bye, childhood
Friendliness no longer exists
I’m a monster
New goals
Apples, robes, cars
Sweat, blood, tears
What is chivalry?
Camaraderie?
It’s a hunt
For apples, robes, cars
Must survive
