She was not impressed
With knights in armor
Shining or otherwise
Thirteenth century flair
Was lost on her
Yet there he stood
Encapsulated in iron
Pinache of red feathers
Her heart on his sleeve
Jousting for the prize
“I would rather drown in the moat
than watch this barbarian mockery”
She had her own codes
For chivalry and courtly love

Much medieval mayhem in the dVerse Poet’s Pub this week…we are celebrating!
mishunderstood 
I guess growing up with values like that would cause some clashes.. Nice thoughts, and I wonder how many turned their back to such “entertainment”
Perhaps more than we know.
Thanks, Bjorn. 🙂
Such a twist in the ending ~ I guess we all have our own “codes” for chivalry and courtly love ~ Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks for reading. 🙂
we all have our own values…and i am sure there were plenty that were offended by the games….i wonder if that would be a very popular stance back then…and if it would have mattered…beyond the one taking the stance…
Probably not a popular one….being the reason I wrote using this perspective. I was imagining a modern day woman sent back in time….slightly rebellious. 🙂
Somethings.. never change.. not every girl goes for the ‘bad boy’..:)
Diversity is most lovely as change rules..:)
So true…some are not impressed with this type of strength.
yeah – i can imagine that some didn’t like this – like i would never watch a bullfight… though i would be deeply touched in a way anyway if someone – you know..
Yes, it would be flattering, but the idea of fighting to impress me….no thanks! 🙂
The way you expressed the gap between their clashing set of values made me smile. Not everyone is impressed by iron and red feathers.
SO true!! Thanks, Gabriella. 🙂
