Best Camelot Poems

   In the name of a certain Kennedy
     I hope you'll take me seriously

   Ask not what 2024 can do for you
     Ask what you can add

I’m watching television, black and white, January 1961
A surge of expectancy in the populace, the dream
Kids in the White House, a buzz of activity
New president going to make his speech
Ask not what you’re country can do for you
Hope being restored, pride, respect
The New Frontier, vision,...

Soft the caress within love's tender kiss and times perfumed gaze..
Gathering centuries as bouquets; beauty in petals to mark this page
Splashed aneath colours atop their still frames; thresholds she waits
Ushering her dreams beyound the gate; crashing waves and a heart
Engraved these moments standing quiet no...

The Camelot That Was Not

By Elton Camp

Arthur was a king both wise and good.
He always did exactly what he should.
Sat with his knights at a table round.
Because equality would then abound.

Manly, virtuous, kind, tall
These they were, one and all.
And Arthur always kept near 
The beautiful...

I’m sure you’ve heard of the Great King Arthur and Lancelot’s well-known fame.
But there was yet another knight, of great glory and great fame, never named.
His name was whispered constantly, everywhere, around those hollowed halls.
For no one wanted to be near when he passed by,...

Kneeling with sword raised to the sky,
As the blade glistens from,
The shadow of the moon with desire,
In respect of the god's above.
Only a spoken language,
All do understand. 
Pleading, asking, begging,
To help rescue his kingdom.
The cries to Zeus with fire raging,
From the blade of Excalibur.
The prophesy...

Sir Cumference of Camelot
Could eclipse the sun in the sky
With the bulk of his obesity
Though he didn’t know why
His physician warned him that
Left unchecked he would die
But he had a hearty appetite
And that was the reason why
Sir Cumference of Camelot
Could eclipse the sun in the...

35th President John F. Kennedy
Somehow developed major enemies
Their seemingly styled Camelot
Dissolved when extramarital affairs were caught

His wife the graceful Jacqueline Kennedy
Drew Americans in to total empathy
When her love was killed that day
But both of them had affairs to play   

There is no perfect...

CAMELOT


In nonesuch age was there a world so fair
Wherein the rule of justice led the way
All men could prosper with good work and care
With  sun and law and honor every day
Twelve good men true gave all an equal share
In nature’s bounty,   and...

It's fact or not
From here to way beyond Camelot
I live it up and laugh a lot
Take off like an astronaut

Took one too many dabs and shots
Moving at the speed of a half knot
I started seeing black dots
Ending up in a bad spot

I can't rely on...

O Camelot! O Camelot!
The winds have changed, the land got hot!
Though dromedaries are quite neat,
A bactrian's hard to unseat,
And so the knights still joust a lot.

At banquet feasts, the men are found,
And like the table, they are round.
The reason they are heavy-set:
Girls now see knighthood...

The moon calls to me,
In visions I see of a woman,
Who whispers and waits for an answer. 
A beautiful woman in a white dress,
I hear her voice in my head,
Urging me to come back.
I see her in my dreams my heart breaks,
As I can never...

Fierce mythical dragons 
Legends galore
Galloping determined steeds,
Knighthood and more.

King Arthur’s round table
Loves of Queen Guinevere
Come to the library, friend. 
They will always be near....

The Pictish Faeries
by Michael R. Burch

Smaller and darker
than their closest kin,
the faeries learned only too well
never to dwell
close to the villages of larger men. 

Only to dance in the starlight
when the moon was full
and men were afraid.
Only to worship in the farthest glade,
ever heeding the...
