a"Knight's day"

Graced at eighteen hands high
a peened suit of armour that stands six foot five
a double edge sword...hardly a man could wield
from the saddle hangs their kings crested shield

kingdom's safe
his majesty's served
private quarters privileged very first day
armies, thieves, foe at bay
I Knight thee "Sir Noble"
not a word said
the dark horse'd knight bowed
armour masked
her identity within.
