Sense Sonnet - Acher

Spelldom

In Britain in an ancient time,
There was a wizard, wise and good.
Merlin took power to his prime
To give the kingdom what he could.
He raised the boy and taught him right,
Put Ex Calibur in his hand,
Brought a nation into the light,
Bid King Arthur to rule the land.
And for a while it all went well.
But, as with matters human kind,
The best intentions of his spell
Be Camelot of Merlin's mind.

Merlin could not divine one thing -
A lifetime of a perfect king.
