wonderful! and i was gonna send you a message asking where your sonnet was, and there you were composing away. :-) thank you so much. i hope a lot of people read your submission and get inspired to write and/or to love.
okay, i don't know if it is poor form to submit my own entry after i have set up the challenge, but i could not sleep last night, and i was so excited about going to the renfest this morning, that this sonnet is the result:
In dreams I am a fierce and mighty knight, Protecting maidens in my armored suit, And living by a code thats just and right, I battle evil at its very root. In times of peace I still take up my shield To face the toughest jousters at the list, And from the heavy blows which i would wield, The ground from fallen knights would be well kissed. Through all of this to win a maiden's grace, Some token in return I might receive. A rose, a scarf, a smile upon her face, I'd cherish in my heart so, by her leave. For chivalry lives on, that's what I say, Long after I awake to start the day.

In dreams I am a fierce and mighty knight,
Protecting maidens in my armored suit,
And living by a code thats just and right,
I battle evil at its very root.
In times of peace I still take up my shield
To face the toughest jousters at the list,
And from the heavy blows which i would wield,
The ground from fallen knights would be well kissed.
Through all of this to win a maiden's grace,
Some token in return I might receive.
A rose, a scarf, a smile upon her face,
I'd cherish in my heart so, by her leave.
For chivalry lives on, that's what I say,
Long after I awake to start the day.
