Knew doomed from the start

Battle that could not be won

I fought to the end

Those fights
we get into
knowing we lost before it starts

but the brave never backs down

So true. This writing was inspired by my Scottish heritage and the Outlander books and series.

You got quite the mix there
All aggressive blood lol. Just joking

[H.L. Cerveise]

The French blood offsets some of that aggressive blood, lol.

Lol now throw in Canadian blood so you can really send me to outer space. Alien alert

Hmm, reminds me of The Charge of the Light Brigade but that was based on the Battle of Balaclava in the Crimean War. This was cool though, and I got to learn a little about the Battle of Culloden through Wikipedia. I feel like this could have a double meaning towards unrequited love too. Good write!

Thank you for reading and reviewing my writing. Your comment about double meaning you are correct. I find it hard to write a poem with only one layer or meaning. I am glad you enjoyed it.

I am also glad you looked up the battle. I hope my writings like this always spur readers into seeking out information on which the it was based or formed.
