Which was your favorite? King Arthur? Or, Merlin?
Birth of Merlin by Michael Doyle In 480 AD, in Britain's Dark Ages Arthur, Camelot and Merlin rode into its pages Shrouded in the fog of great mystery It's half lost from the pages of history Magic and semi-mythical beasts spawn In these days of chivalry and brawn As violence and bloodshed blot the country There in a time that remains legendary These were the ancient days of Merlin As his wizardly ways did begin A castle sits on a stormy night When a child is born to second sight Posed a question that of maiden's purity And with it, rested that of her sincerity Should the child just born be put to death Even as he takes his first small breaths The druids have provided counsel for the land Through plagues and famines while kings command A wise man knows not to anger the gods of lore For in doing so the risk is less than poor (c) May 13, 2020 Michael Doyle All Rights Reserved
