Battle

The day is lost, the King is dead,

The Saxon host has fled,

And now they come, the Norman knights,

To take King Harold’s head.

Still they fought, a single band,

King Harold’s guard did stand,

They gathered ‘round their fallen lord,

With sword and axe in hand.

The day is done, the guard is dead,

The Norman knights have bled,

None forgot the price they paid,

To take King Harold’s head. 

Reviews

[Dani R]

Very well written. The flow was nice.

Ok, you've had over a year and a half so let's have a few more verses, hey? Just sayin', can't wait to hear the rest of the tale as you tell it.

Very well put.
Sometimes people forget the price for things.
''..Kick their a*s!''
''Wipe them out..!''

Even when a big and powerful army attacks a small and weak one, devestation and pain hits both sides. Just ask the mother of that one soldier who died.

Anyhow-- Politics aside. Well written, flows well. I'd actually like for it to be longer, but that is more of a good thing then criticism.

Cuts to the chase in its immediacy and imagery!

[Hogwarts]

This is so awesome!!! It flows really nicely, and it tells the story perfectly. I don't know if I have said this before but I really really enjoy reading your writing. :)
