My Knight in Shining Armor

by Gypsy Blue Rose

 
 
Where's my knight in shining armor?
 
 
 

Did he get lost in the Valley of Death

while he was on his way?
 
 
 
 

I hope he didn't get deep-fried by a dragon

or fall into a mountain crevasse.
 
 
 


Did an evil witch turn him into a toad?
 
 
 

I do wish I had a valiant knight

but I'll only go so far till I draw a line.

Crevasse = deep cleft; narrow split or crack; crevices exist mostly in rocks and cliffs,

RYOKAN FREE VERSE is a Japanese form created by Zen Buddhist, Taigu Ryokan in 1785. He used themes of everyday life. The classic Ryokan Poem speaks directly to the reader's heart conveying a profound sense of enlightenment, serenity, and compassion. You may use poetic devices. For this modified Ryokan free verse I use humor.

Thank you for reading and reviewing my poem.
