Anybody's Count- LB Sedacek

 

                                  Anybody’s Count

                                   

                                    King Arthur dead

for so many

centuries

and no baseball

speed clocks

to

time sword swings

archer arrows

or

hand to hand

combat, a lance’s

blow.

Surviving examples

of medieval swords

may

have an engraving

a prayer

the

owner’s name, the

elaborateness depending

on

its owner’s wealth

evident from

the

jewels, encrusted.
