A random, fun, mini writing exercise born out of studying the Iliad, Ancient Greece & Rome, and listening to Dame Judi Dench recite one of Shakespeare’s sonnets. 😜
My sword and shieldÂ
Both guide and guildÂ
Attend me to the shattering fieldÂ
Where lives are stopped and blood is spilledÂ
Ere all this day shall pass

To guard and slay
And in my foes engender fearÂ
Into the press we win the day
All glory won and honor savedÂ
