The Best Poem Of beverley scott

Spear Thistle Cirsium Vulgare

Battalion -attention!
Battalion -arm!

With a thousand spears they
protect
defend
pierce from all sides,
This gallant regiment with Crimson helmets and flashing swords are
insurmountable
impenetrable
Victorious over all.

Soon to be enveloped,
softened
caressed

by Time

Battalion - disarm
Battalion - surrender
to remember

touched by time
softened
blackened
crippled

Your soft white hair becomes a pillow
to lay your head upon
to dream of
flashing swords and Crimson helmets
