[MR] poets needed for 30 year

[Stephen Kiefert]

Poets are needed as part of the 30 year event Labor Day.  

There is a poem written by Duke Cariodoc many years ago that includes the first 
crowns of Atlantia (see below).  I  am soliciting verses to bring it up to 
date.  This is not a contest per se with prizes, but there will be credit given 
on the the kingdom history page for each verse used.  A chance to be published 
and a permanent part of the kingdom.

You could write only one 4-line verse, or as many as you wish, and submit them 
separately or together.  The style should be similar to the existing ones, so it 
would be good to know something beyond just their names, but it is not 
essential.  Deadline to be determined, but enough before September to be in the 
site booklet, maybe May or June.  We will pick one for each reign, so think of 
it as multiple chances to win.

Carissa, Queen of all the East,                  Now Richard Corwin for his Anne
With Michael gave our realm its throne–     Atlantia's crown has bravely won
And then, before their reign had ceased,     He's just a good and faithful man
They won it back to be their own.               Who's doing as his knight has 
done.

Now Anya is a queen most rare.                Sir Knarlic, with a dragon blade,
Bertrand full half his kingdom knows.         Atlantia's knights has beaten 
down,
He can describe each lady fair–                 But conquered by Atlantian maid
But not the color of her clothes.                 He to Alexis brings the crown.

In floods of mead the benches drown          For Gyrth it is a gladsome day
And great the glee of thirsty men               To know he has such sturdy men;
When Gyrth, great-gutted, takes the crown Count Richard in the bloody fray
And Melisande is queen again.                  For Anne has won the crown again.

John and Tuiren have done more                Sir Olaf, through the flood of 
foes,
Than ever lords of coast and sea-salt.        His Aslinn spies above the fray,
For they have ruled from shore to shore     And bold Tsuneo, dying, knows
Atlantia to Drachenwald.                          The crown will not be his 
today.

Now Bedford's blade in fury falls                Tsuneo keeps his Nyan Nyan 
near.
And for his foes 'tis death to find it.            He has such skills as suit a 
knight,
Duke Michael is a moving wall                  Can fight with sword and bow and 
spear.
Carissa wholly hid behind it.                     His concubine can read and 
write.

It was Sir Olaf, when he fought,                  Some kings and queens for 
dress are known,
For Aslinn with his heart and hand,            Others for how they plot and 
scheme
Who by his skill and fortune brought          Since Claus for Cyffaith won the 
crown
Atlantia's crown to southern land.              Our sovereigns are a Melee team.
