The Parable of the Flower and the Shadow

[Duke Jeremy of Gascony]

A short, aweful, metaphorical poem about our little scrap with Shireroth last year:

A flower was trampled,
the petals crushed,
its leaves torn,
the beauty hidden from human eyes,
cast into shadow a plant dies,
but not the flower of Bosworth,
for she did rise.

The stem was bent and twisted,
but she never broke,
beneath the surface life endured,
and with the passing of the shadow,
the flower awoke.

This is further to the decision by the King and myself to include poetry in our culture

Most amazing Jeremy, I must say I enjoy all your work.
