a slender arm
reached up
from the lake’s
dark waters
reaching for the sky
clutching
the legendary
sword
Excalibur
a gift for a king who would die
wielding it against enemies
who personify
evil in a mythical land
called Camelot
where
noble knights
court fair damsels
in a world
that never was

Dave, the photo and your poetic blurb brought the legendary tale to life once again.
