Writing game:Author function

Author function is poet and war is the abstract notion.




King Robert

What a mighty sight he was

As he led the charge on his black destrier

Tall and dark and handsome he was

Indeed he was destined for glory

As his first blow landed

The scream inflicted fear on his remaining foes

His enormous blunt mace landed strike after strike

Crushing every unfortunate one who got in his path

This was what he was made for,

This was what he was skilled at,

This was why he was king.


I guess the author function of this text could also have been a bard. That would perhaps have added more direct praise of the king, and more detailed descriptions of the king`s fighting.

  1. Yeah, I think you landed somewhere in the middle between bard and poet laureate...

    Quite effective poem, though - with the exception of the phrase "unfortunate one" which is very colorless and could be improved upon...
