Analysis of A forest full
A forest full of the tallest tree.
The moon hung high above their canopy.
The nights wind blew a gentle melody.
But beneath lay a different story.
A forest full of duff and debris.
The land lay scattered with weaponry.
Among the dead lay a wounded knight.
His body lay beaten in the dead of night.
A forest full of scenery.
What a beautiful sight to see.
The mist crept in tired of waiting.
To engulf the man and his aching.
A forest full of hurt and wailing.
To reflect on a life of training.
A single tear rolled down his cheek. In the end he was too weak.
A life full of pain and agony.
His memory then jolted suddenly.
Of the times of joy and times of peace.
Tears filled his eyes as he embraced decease.

About this poem
I wrote this poem in my bed at like 1:am on a school night. I enjoy it as i believe it expresses much of my interest in natural beauty and knights. It also explores a theme of reflection and death aswell which i find rather cool.
