THE LEGEND OF THE SILENT POOL
by Paul Curtis The amorous King John Took by ungentlemanly force The woodcutter's daughter And put her upon his horse He took her from Albury village To a place called the silent pool The girl scared and crying Prayed the Kings ardour had cooled He pressed his intent upon her So into the dark lake she fled From his horse he drove her ever deeper Until the poor girl was dead Now on the silent pool at midnight The maiden can be seen there Where the amorous King John Did drown the life from her I am a fifty something family man with a passion for writing and I draw inspiration from those around me. paul.curtis1956 @ btinternet.com http://www.dreamagic.com/poetry/poetry.html http://www.peculiar-poetry.com/ Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
