Defeated

Have you ever experienced a back lashing? By a thick, pliable whip? It's nothing compared to her tongue lashing, An egregiously scalding dip. Have you ever carried a thorny crown? With such comfort on your brow? It's nothing compared to her piercing frown, So intense it fills one's soul with awe. Her fury, only Hades can compare Yet he dares drizzle blood on her boisterous flame. Her fate struck, she prowls in gloom and more, in shame. The lamb did snatch victory in the tigress's lair!
