The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

I wish I were a proper poet,

writing proper rhymes.

Holding all in rapt attention

to unique poetic time.

I'd watch the audience draw their breath,

as a mangled beast drew near

to my heroic creation

in pursuit of his love dear.

They'd yell as they did battle,

and cry to see him fall.

They would wonder why I wrote an end

so tragic to it all.

Thus I'd sit in secret knowledge

of the reason for my deeds:

that a proper poet's goal

is to confuse the one that reads.

Urm... nope. It's just there for the rhyming scheme and classic hero off to save his love story...

in pursuit of his love, dear

 

I tend to argree with reverie there is a beat missing here. Maybe " in pursuit of his love so dear" ?
