October 25th

Time to switch it up audience. Today's blog is in short poem form. On occasion I am bitten by the poetry bug so bear with me. I will explain what I am talking about in a short paragraph at the end of the poem. Try to enjoy.


My fingers are riddled in times new roman ink
All these French words nouns and verbs make my stomach sink
Why did it happen, how can this possibly be?
The cogs of the clock turned too quickly for me.

Here I write in stress with thoughts free from chains unbound
A pen in mouth paired with keyboard clicking sound
With thesis direction and many pages more
The analysis flows of the Arthurian lore.

Lancelot and Gwen their secret love has bloomed
Though the tale is fine Camelot is doomed
The knight of the cart is heroic in love and woo
But strong loyalty to the Queen makes him untrue.

Despite your weakness Lancelot the said fair knight
I wrote of your growth through quests struggle and fight
Becoming a man of the blade with a strong heart
Fearing nothing not even disgrace of the cart.

I digress and continue my battle with Word
Even with strain the finish line is assured.
For only revision does remain to adhere
Tonight some fun at the house of Magic Mirror.

Ok so the basic gist is the process I endured while writing a French essay about how Lancelot, yes that Lancelot, becomes a true knight through various challenges while trying to save Guinevere, Gwen for short. Magic Mirrors, I chopped of the "s" for rhyming purposes, is a dance hall that was hosting a party for the international students of Le Havre that night. Thus the poem ends with me leaving for Magic Mirrors after finishing my essay. Tis all audience.
