Camelot's End (Wes 3 Classic Poetic Forms WS)

Where lies your grave, my king?
My heart, it bleeds for you
when birds no longer sing.

Your knights, still live, but few.
They're lost without your will
They hide to plan anew.

Poor Merlin's hands are still
His staff is broken now
and Camelot is ill.

The mage will not allow
the witch to find your grave
She strikes to make him bow
but Merlin stands, so brave.

The story is fine and the rhyme and rhythm too, but l don't know why I have expected longer lines.

Salam, Rula

Perhaps you think it will be better if I write in iambic pentameter?

mmmm

That what I wanted, but after sir Wesley's comment, you don't even need my opinion.

Salam, Rula

Actually I'm trying to form a variety in meter in this new form so I decided not to use the most common meter.

Iambic pentameter

is the most common, but it is not set in granite. Any meter will do if it is consistent. It is the rhyme scheme that is the trick.

This is absolutely the best Arthur I've read. A beautiful Terza Rima and the workshop hasn't even started.
Bravo.
