The First Bit

This is the first bit of my English assignment that I turn in tomorrow.


There once was a minstrel,
Blind since birth.
A victim of time,
His life was a curse.

Visions and prophecies
Danced in his head
He felt he would see them
until he was dead.

He spoke of a fire
That would smother the village
He saw in the future
Rape, Plunder, and Pillage.

The villagers would hate him
They feared all those visions
They ran him out away
He had no provisions.

He hid in the forest
For two days and nights
For on the third day
The village set alight.

To the court of the King,

Good Sir Arthur

The poor minstrel traveled

He could run no farther


He sang of his visions

His songs couldn’t fail

He sang of the song

To find the grail.


One song he would sing
Of Merlin the Seer
Of the fate he would suffer
And what he should fear

He earned a place

At the kings side,

But from Merlin’s anger

He could not hide.
