Young Warrior

Warriors seek men in black, I tell1

That be the leader I say well2

As in battle it matters naught3

It be the way he has been taught4

He fights for family name, does he5

Pride be greater than death ye see6

Young lads taught to follow course7

Aye, how to sit a warrior’s horse8

See yon young one no fear be thine9

Briana knows you be in ye prime

Author notes

Cyhydedd fer: (cuh-hee-dedd ver): A simple form consisting of eight syllable couplets. This form can be used as a series of couplet stanzas similar to the Ghazal, or as a cauda (tail) for one of other forms.
Since I just completed a course in Ghazals, this seemed appropiate.

    Again, very well done. You write in ways I have never heard of so I have nothing to compare it against but it does a fine job of getting the message across. I tip my hat to you again.
