back from the exercycle and from the i-pad to this desktop computer to read your new postings, daniel. interestingly on this one, my mind went to our contemporary veterans before i read your lines referencing one; the comparison is natural and poignant. couple of things, in the 8th line you mean " glory, " yes? also, i notice " clanking armor" is anachronistic next to what follows. -glen

Daniel, while reading this poem I enriched my vocabulary with many words! Slink, totter, cower, clutter, furry. Blob - do you mean zero? Disgard in the end - do you mean disregard? And gory - you mean? Or you meant glory? As for the meaning - under the king - is it you yourself or is it an image of slackening society? Impressive picture anyway! Goes deep into my heart!
