Ogre

His voice like thunder, booming out his threats, 
the stamping ogre towered, broad and square;
the trembling, sobbing woman prayed and begged -
I saw no pity in the monster's glare...
and hid. A knight, afraid of fighting fiends! 
Ashamed, I rushed at him, without a care.
The giant, nostrils flared, took off  at speed,
returning to his castle in the air.

Hi Jack glad you went for this monster, this giant, this ogre who ran away and disappeared into thin air in the clouds. Best of luck in the contest. Great poetry as usual! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
