Excellent

This deserved a six, but I was all out. I love stories and poems of kings, queens and anything to do with castles. Your post caught my eye, especially with the photo. It's very eye catching. I don't know how you find words to rhyme. That has to be difficult, but you put them together quite well my friend. I really enjoyed this.

Thanks for sharing!
Hugs,
Shana :)

Oh, there is much depth here whether you meant to write it or not (great choice on the name of Paladin!), my lady, but I do love the beauty and the metaphor I see! ;) Thanx so much for sharing and best of luck in the contest! ;) Yvette

Good poem I like how it flowed along nicely , the only thing I would say is maybe change the line to (but to no avail) take out I(t was), just my opinion.

Appreciate the thought, but if I do that it will upset my twelve syllable line count.
