Best Poems Written by Donna Marr

Dark Knight

Values of honor 
drives the dark knight to patrol evil.
The heavy thud of his boots 
shakes the tall trees as a warning .
Knights anger roars into the night.

Calling to  Evil one.
Coward show your true self now.
You can’t run forever.
The leaves on the trees trembled 
as his words rumbled like a tornado.

Hostile threats rocketing
through the air igniting rage.
Tonight the battle ends 
Onlookers fighting back the bile rising 
from the pungent smell of hate.

Bones cracking and blood spurting 
the two exchange powerful blows 
Evil attempts to fight dirty 
but Knight is on a mission
Evil will be paying for his sins.

His sword plunges deep
Evils vile blood pours to the ground.
Knight looks too heaven
He cries in a mournful howl
I did not ask for this burden 

Everyone grows quiet 
a young child approaches knight.
Beckons him to his knees
Like the gentle breeze of April
Thank you she whispers in his ear.

The great knight weakened 
by the sweetness of the child .
Takes her in his arms.
Returns his eyes to the sky
Ok I understand why I must.
