‘Twas a Dark and Stormy Knight

Errant, Galant, Whatever

Marilyn Flower

You might be glad
if you were Sir Galahad,
void of hubris,
full of revelations
on the way to the Holy Grail.

But then again,
you might be a knight in a game,
though not to blame,
stuck in an empty error-flashing penny arcade —
all for failing to register.

Note to yourself:
Don’t let that happen again.

This poem was inspired by a poetry prompt in IdeaStream №28
