Duff Challenge 3.
‘Twas a night of festivities in a medieval palace of glee
Lots of food and activities, it’s where our hero would be
A masquerade ball was on lots of dancers one woud see
So everyone was unknown behind a mask was also he…
Bored of this event was our prince ‘though it was thrown in his honor
where all princesses and queens would vie for his ardor
Many a time his father have asked choose a queen for our future
wherefore our Prince would bask such was his snobbish nature…
But that demeanor was with a reason
for his heart was already imprisoned
by a peasant who once saved his hide
from a pack of hungry wolves on the countryside
She was but fifteen then, three years ago
And since then their secret meetings made love grow
And now he awaits her arrival with a proof in tow
A golden feather from his cap to the guards she’ll have to show…
Hours past and everyone was impatient
for they don’t understand the prince’s being lenient
It was then his heart broke and he thought
“She’s not coming!” and tears poured forth
But the mask hid them from everyone around
and suddenly he unleashed his horse and on rocky ground
rode away into the night to get an explanation
from the love of his life, his only inspiration…
On his way he passed the same forest
where three years ago started his unrest
on the place where she fought off the wolves
but now stabs of pain in his chest constantly throbs
But a foreboding terror gripped his heart
As howls of the same pack gave his fear a start
for a silhouette of a gown was strewn in shreds
he now has a suspicion along with a growing dread..
And so he jumped down from his horse’s back
And shaking off all cowardice he crawled into the dark
where he knows a cave would be waiting
It’s where they first have passionate meetings
And there his worst nightmare he confirmed
as a single spot of moonlight from the opening beamed
and exposed the gruesome scene in that balmy cove
his golden feather held lovingly in a bloody velvet glove…
I enjoyed reading it. Very well written. Thanks
