Armed With Bravery

armed with bravery
the brawny battler excites
my heart beats ever faster 
and my eyes open
wider with expectation 
his sword glistens in the sun
like his bronzed muscles
good shall overcome
in the arena today

WELL DONE. I sure hope she accepts this form the way I researched it to be: a poem that can go on indefinitely using that repeating syllable count!
