A poem taking inspiration from the classic Sword in the Stone where knights gathered from all around to see if they would be the next King of Camelot. Unfortunately this one stubborn sword refuses to yield to yet another candidate.
Stubborn Sword
Pull this simple sword
such a silent nasty frustration
an overt challenge
completely maddening
You stop for a second
spend a sickly moment
gasping in surprise
one more breath
One more strain
a loud crack echoes
sword remains unscathed
but your back giveth out
