The Welkins Roared

The Welkins Roared

The winds howled, and the welkins roared.

As I pulled up my footmen, ascending the slope.

Don’t give up, vanquish the assailant with the sword.

Giving up slumber, maneuvering on the hazardous road,

Infantry followed me, with fortitude and hope.

The winds howled, and the welkins roared.

In sultry dust and heat, attacking the fort,

My spirited troop, managed to cope.

Don’t give up, vanquish the assailant with the sword.

No outlander can take control of my court,

We’ll fling them out, like a dope.

The winds howled, and the welkins roared.

Toiling from dawn to dusk, pummeling the hoard,

Bleeding and sweating, fumbling the knights grope.

Don’t give up, vanquish the assailant with the sword.

Victory touched our feet, as the caitiff slain scored,

Horsemen triumphantly galloped, as dust rose.

The winds howled, and the welkins roared.

Don’t give up, vanquish the assailant with the sword.

 Here is a poem The Welkins Roared written in one of my favourite style, villenelle.

The Welkins Roared one of my favorite poem written first on #penmancy it later found some paper and ink in The Force Is Within Us an anthology cerebrating the Armed Forces. 

Proud to share space with General GD Bakshi and many other brave and scholarly luminaries from the armed force.

The book has been published by #authorspress and all the proceeds from the sales of this book will be donated to Army Wife Welfare Association (AWWA) in India.

Ever so thankful to #mithru @the_rachamalla for the lovely videos with the background music he made for my poety.
