Dean Wood Poet Pantoum

The Champion's Fated Fall

It was terrible, and then it stopped;			
A thunderous downpour of rain.			
As though a hammer had been dropped,			
The sky lashed out in pain!			
			
A thunderous downpour of rain,			
A bolt of lightning pierced the air,			
The sky lashed out in pain		
And left the warlord lying there.			
			
A bolt of lightning pierced the air.			
It dealt our champion sudden death			
And left the warlord lying there			
Gasping for his final breath.			
			
It dealt our champion sudden death			
As though a hammer had been dropped.		
Gasping for his final breath;			
It was terrible. And then it stopped!

Lin Lane July 8, 2017 at 8:46 AM It's an effort to write this form so that it makes sense throughout and you've accomplished that to perfection. Well done, Dean.
