Our Camelot.

In ‘Our Camelot’, my gallant Knight and I reside

When I see him approach, my heart bursts forth with pride

We have our own castle, a very beautiful home

and I pray from it, my hero will never wish to roam

 

Our days are filled with laughter

Our nights are filled with love

as we sip the wine of togetherness

beneath the stars above

 

"Dragon" is our baby

Him we so adore

He makes us smile as we speak of him

and each day we love him more

 

My Knight does not go on quests

He is ever by my side

He wears my heart on his armour

and only happy tears are cried

 

The suns always shines in Camelot

It is never visited by the rain

We have our own Pear Tree Orchard

and make our own Champagne

 

It’s bubbly, bright and sparkling

Best quality to ever see the light of day

Together we sip it each evening

and have named it ‘Dom Jose’

 

I pray there’s never an ending to our story

That it lives on through the years in love and glory

With our love growing hour by hour, no stain can blot

the beautiful life we live, in our beloved Camelot

The essence of your poetry here, Marie, I think 🥀

Exemplifies perfectly the imaginatively romantic side of your beautifully creative heart and soul.
Camelot, a place of great adventure, bravery, and honor, filled with the atmosphere of glittering romance and optimism … and, with your magic word paint, you've so ideally painted a glorious portrait of it upon the canvas of our own minds and hearts.

Through your magical syntactic diction, metaphorical imagery, and skillful rhymes, you've set me off a'dreaming in my own Camelot … love the art choice, too.

Thank you, Dear Marie, for lightening the load of run-a-the-mill life just enough to let a needy soul smile 'n dance! ⁓ Richard 🥂

Hello again, Richard and THANK YOU! for kindly reading this poem and I am so very pleased you like it. I have long been a 'fan' of King Arthur and his Knights of The Round Table and thus, some kind of inspiration came from that for this poem. Camelot is where Arthur held Court. You will find your own Camelot too, Richard. It will be worth waiting for. Delighted the poem gave you a little smile. I am happy to read that. Gratitude for reading and for your too kind review, Richard. Bless you always...

With dancing heart, I bow to thee 🍷

Cheers, Richard...

Hello dear Pat and thank you for kindly reading and for your very musical comment. I used to love "Puff The Magic Dragon" too! Thank you for sharing it with me. Beautiful blessings your way, dear Pat...

[Marie]

Thank you for reading and kindly commenting, Thomas...

An idyllic lifestyle together with one's very own knight, his bright protective bodysuit happily now more amour than harden armour, and long be this love be blessed!!

[Marie]

Hello Tom. This poem is simply written from my imagination. I have loved Arthur and Camelot since childhood and that was my inspiration. I hope you enjoyed reading and I thank you for taking the time to read and comment. Wishing you a very lovely evening, from a very wet, cold and windy Kerry...

[Tom]

Weather not much better here up north either Marie, when is summer going to arrive I wonder??

[Marie]

Gosh! It's like Winter again today, Tom. SO cold, wet and windy. Hope Summer arrives soon down here and up there. Next month begins Autumn, but if we got a lovely Autumn it would be wonderful too. Have a very blessed and wonderful July, dear friend...

How great a gift we have in our imaginations. When the world is unkind, we can go to our very own special place of happiness. I never experienced such a place as yours in the waking world, but I can still go there. For me, I might return to that long ago, perfect autumn day when I lay on new-fallen leaves and watched the trees sway above in the light breeze. I'd not yet been to war, suffered divorce, or many other awful things, and it was sublime. Your Camelot sounds like that, and I'd gladly reside there, too. I love your beautiful words.

[Marie]

Thank you so v-e-r-y much for reading this poem and for your beautiful comment, Sam. I have for long loved the tales of King Arthur and The Knight's of The Round Table. Camelot is where Arthur held court. I imagined it was a mystical place and what it would be like to live there, happily, in love and so the poem was born, Sam. It is a wonderful gift to be imaginative as you so rightly say and to have our own place to go to when the world becomes too much to live in for us. You can create your own place, be there with whom you wish to be with and I pray you will feel the peace, the love, the joy of being there and return to the world again feeling renewed, Sam. Thank you so very much again for reading and for sharing with me. Bless you always...

[Samuel Dickens]

I also love those Arthurian tales. You probably know about Jackie Kennedy and her comparison of her John's time in the Whitehouse to Camelot.

[Marie]

That is amazing, Sam! I don't know that story about Jackie Kennedy and her comparison of her husband's time in the Whitehouse to Camelot, but I would love to read it when time permits you to write. Thank you so very much, Sam...

The warm and delightful experience I had reading this Camelot poem I can't even spell! It is such a lovely romance fantasy till its last word, with its sweet rhyme, I'm loving the details of this poem, the wine shared in the night, the joys experienced in the daylight, the saccharine experience of parenthood with your most loving partner, the fact that there is always sunlit summer and not coldness has to be my favorite, so does those sweet peach orchard and the champagne made from it, how sparkling and titillating.

This sweet fantasy poem was such a dreamy delight my friends, you have created its imagery beautifully in your words, I would you are good with fantasy writing a lot that it bubbles my heart every time, so glad to read this poem Marie! Sending you love ❤️

[Marie]

I have always loved King Arthur and his Knights of The Round Table. He lived in Camelot and my imagination provided the rest. Thank you for so kindly reading, my dear friend and for your wonderful, as always, review. I am most grateful. Sending you love and blessings, my dear friend...

[Poetic_Vixen]

You're most welcome my dear friend! This was such a delight indeed, sending you a lot of love!

[Marie]

Gratitude with beautiful blessings your way, dear P.V... 🙏♥️🙏

[Betty Hermelee]

Yes, Camelot is a fantasy….and it does lift our spirits because it is out of our realm of realism….. it’s a dream that transforms us to another planet…
Where love is pure and couples never argue… they simply lead a life of goodness and treasure each other forever…..oh to be in Camelot!
A wonderful way to relax the spirit!
Warmly, B🌷
