lesson 1

I like this poem

Fast rode the knight
With spurs, hot and reeking,
Ever waving an eager sword,
"To save my lady!"
Fast rode the knIght,
And leaped from saddle to war.
Men of steel flickered and gleamed
Like riot of silver lights,
And the gold of the knight's good banner
Still waved on a castle wall.
. . . . .
A horse,
Blowing, staggering, bloody thing,
Forgotten at foot of castle wall.
A horse

Dead at foot of castle wall.

because the poem is interesting and contains some figurative language. It even includes the plight of the horse which most books, stories and poems do not include.It's plot is interestingand it sounds like a fairy tale.The figurative language included are personification, for example -Ever waving an eager sword,where the author describes the sword as eager.The hyperboles include Blowing, staggering, bloody thing,Which is added in to make the reader sympathise with the horse.And a constant repitition of Fast rode the knight, and A horse.The similie is like riot of silver lights.
