Poem Title:
Poem
He looked with head skewed With a fire inside he couldn't hide The spear missed as he threw Missing his foe dodged to the side Miss calucation only angered him more With his rage he yelled aloud All eyes on him he couldn't ignore The astonished gasps from the crowd He was supposed to be the best Said to be non better by far Though he missed with his spear That was meant for the heart Unsure he now stares at his opponent Who regained his balance with ease He will not be bested this day Feel the sting of blade and bleed This was the way of the arena It is bloody and it is gory They must fight to the death For fame, honor, and glory With the blink of an eye His foe rushed right at him With a quick step to the right But it was a delayed reaction So he tried with fast stride To quickly dodge to the left But he didn't see the second blade That sank deep through his chest Crowd fell silent the dust settles Legend said he was unbeatable But he has bested the champion He has done the unthinkable He had won he's now the victor He stands taller this day It wasn't for glory or greed Done for himself not the fame Written 2-15-19
