"Embroidered Memories - Poem" by ´Disco´ Vic Alfieri

Oh, wait a minute...
*Googles for a second*
*Squeals in delight*
WOW!!!! This is so good!!! I love the pace and the imagery, and also the rhyming... *feels so special* and it was written for me?!?! I'm so glad your ticket was modded before mine!! *hugs* ^_^ Wow, this is so great... ;-; *cries* I could kiss you!!
My favorite part was this:
"The road I travel is always rough
My enemies, they make me tough
Against men I have fought the fight
To stay alive another night

"Ever weaving memories
Embroidered in a tapestry
I am the last of a dying breed
An elven knight on trusty steed

"I’ve fought in battles; I’ve got the scars
From swords and daggers; from worlds afar
And now I go to rest away,
For I have seen better days"

I couldn't figure which I liked better ;-; OH THIS WHOLE POEM IS FANTASTIC!!! *huggles you again* Thank you thank you thank you!!!

What?? Only one comment??? *Turns around and smacks the ignorant people that have not yet read and commented on this poem* I just came over from a link on her page *points up*. Great work. I'm suddenly very gland that I took the chance to actually click the link and come here.

This is so sad. Of all the things he's lived through, he has only a tapestry to remember his lifetime, and that's all that's left of him. It's like a great warrior who has become nameless through the passage of time. It really makes me sad.

this is lovely. it reads well-rhythm and flow are excellent. also, I just really like the leading phrase "embroidered memories" it's beautiful. just what one could want from a poem

That is just beautiful. I love the poignancy of it. Good work!

Tapestries and warriors can still connect, remembering stories told in some tapestries...stories of battles and legends told in woven pictures, embroideries. Some warriors from Medieval times would carry a sort of tapestry (nothing large or anything) made by a loved one, and many loved ones would depict their warriors in their tapestries.
For a bit of a spin, the memories could be remembered by a warrior looking at one of his own legends told out in a tapestry, or a sort of 'spirit' or 'soul' (not a ghost or anything, just an essence of memory), being part of a tapestry, remembering what made it what it is...
That's a lot of digging into it though. I love the whole symbolism of it, BIG fan of symbolism. This turned out nice.

Many of your poems seem to be about passing on, or faded glory, or battles once fought. I liked this one, too, & am sure Emily was flattered to have it made for her.
