The Fiercest Black Beast That A Knight Once Slew Dark poetry Sharp blade penetrated black blood flowed about Mighty hairy black beast groaned then vomit let out In a flash I kicked it in the vulnerable spot Enraged, with all my power gave it another shot Plunged my silver dagger in to bleed it more Thinking of those it killed, vowed I to even the score Nothing was easy as it got me with left blow Knocked back, a moment or two I didnt know Quickly in nearby ravine it ran back to hide But I saw, got it with a cut as in I slide Its rank black blood squirted right into both my eyes OF balance, fierce beast had taken me by surprise With another savaged hit it bloodied my cheek Used its dagger claws, nothing about it was meek Gashed my arm and my red blood gushed on out Stepping back, avoid its other strike I gave a shout Immediately, my chance to strike deathly blow This shall slay this huge, wicked monster that I know With herculean might I plunged my sword in so deep I sent that beast into its most damnable sleep Stepping back, I watched the beast take its last breath Under my breath, I prayed God gift it quick death As it lay there, I saw its spirit its body leave I thought, would Hell send another to earth deceive? Robert J. Lindley, Verse, - Dark July 22nd, 1971 Note: (1. ) This poem dedicated to my favorite poet, Edgar Allen Poe... Note: (2.) I was only 17 years old when I composed this one.. Teacher gave me a 100 score on it. I turned it in instead of a book report.
