The Fairy Queen Battle

Fairy Queen flies excitedly.
Her silken wings beat heavily;
Across the greying mottled sky.
The time for battle drawing nigh;
Must develop plans cleverly.

Enemy fights so righteously,
Queen's men respond defiantly.
In her grave she will still decry:
Fairy Queen flies excitedly.

Her soldiers do stand spinelessly;
Fear will not come misguidedly.
They listen for her battle cry;
The men they will move oh so spry.
Doubtless of win resignedly.
Fairy Queen flies excitedly.

Poetry form: an attempt at a Rondeau (consists of three stanzas, a quintet (5 lines), a quatrain (4 lines) and a sestet (6 lines), giving a total of 15 lines. The first phrase of the first line usually sets the refrain R it is admissible to use the whole line used as the refrain. The rhyme scheme is: R. a. a. b. b. a .... a. a. b. R. .... a. a. b. b. a. R). I'm not sure I've done it right as I think there's meter rules to follow.... but I haven't got my head around meter yet.
