For today's assignment we were asked to write a poem. I choose to *attempt* to write an iambic pentameter about Alexander the Great and his horse Bucephalus. Enjoy!
Only Alex could ride the horse into
Battle Bucephalus was hard to tame
Alex realize he could tame the creature
Turning the horse away from his shadow
Towards the sun Alex mounted and rode
The horse away from the assembly
Bucephalus was the moment in the
young Alexander's life where the boy be
Came the king to rule for life with the horse
By his side in every battle fought by
Alex and with his united kingdom
Alex rode on his horse until the steed
Passed on to a better new world where the
Horse with a star on his head could relax
Respect was paid by naming a city
Bucephala after the great war horse
Alex the Great and his war horse could not
Have lived without the other and were truly
Made to live and serve each other for life
What a monumental effort! Iambic pentameter indeed! Izzy, you are inspirational.
