First poem ever Can't Post

Hello guys, this is my first ever poem, the only poetical study I have ever taken was when I was 16 at school, so please don't judge this too harshly, as it is probably rubbish, but here we go:


The horse and the rider
The city was soon to be taken
The free-folk had fought their best fight
Children fled, broken and shaken
Day would soon give way to night

But before all was lost to despair
An alliance of old was rejoined
Upon the hill came riders of flowing gold hair
A fresh battle now would be joined

The king he emerged from the host
He brandished a sword and a shield
Mounted on horse white, like ghost
He galloped across golden field

He passed like a wind in a meadow
His Eored could not keep speed
Descending upon foe behind the hills into shadow
A picture of valorous deed

The king he clashed swords with their chieftain
Spilling his blood on the floor
He looked to his horse's eyes, Snowmane
Recalling his fathers of yore

But before he returned to his senses
Ambushed by mantle on wings
Absent were his defences
The sweetness of battle now stings

Here now the horse and the rider
Here now the horn blowing
Passed like rain on the mountain
Passed like wind in the meadow

That's lovely [In reply to] Can't Post

And definitely not rubbish! The story of Theoden and Snowmane has always been one of my favorites. Please keep writing. Smile
