Today’s events were basically the same as the other days when working on the wall and edits. I did, however need to take Yama (one of the crossbreeds) to the vet, and she has to stay there ‘till tomorrow. She needs to have her mammal glands removed…tumors…and gets the added “bonus” of a hysterectomy. Poor girl.
Got lots of the wall done, yay. The first one is officially done as of today, and the second one well underway. Got some editing done, which is good, of course, but it could have been better.
Laundry got done, Grandpa made pancakes for dinner, and I’m still sore from all the lifting and carrying.
But, I’m really not in the mood to write a proper Blog today, so instead I’ll post something else entirely…but what?
Well, considering I was going through the poetry files the other day, I figure I might as well put on up here. Hah.
Vengeful Warrior
Armed and weary to the bone she stood upon the shore
The hounds of hell swirling around, their eyes red and lusty galore
Grief and vengeance in mind her strongest drive
Naught would stop her, no man with sword or knife
Winds swept in from the raging sea
The land of those before her, keeping her captured, not allowing her to be free
Death had claimed all she held dear
Alone she stood now, in solitude but not with fear
Alone, but fight she would
Her only aid hell’s blood-lusty brood
Thunder and lighting brought on by her masterful spell
So much power within and no one to tell
Ragged and torn clothes plastered against her chilled skin
Vengeance and wrath her only sin
Cast in light her mighty sword gleamed
Twirling through the air, it danced, sang and preened
A gleeful cry of battle lured her from behind
The fiery beasts around her perked but paid no mind.
Slowly the last of her kind turned to face the cause of her pain
The brute, the beast; by his hand her clan was slain
Rain, like ice slapping against cliffs of stone and rock
His presence expected, no longer a shock
Proudly the brutish enemy stood broad and tall
His intent clear, to break her, to make her fall
Submission and defeat his only wish
‘T was the one thing he would not accomplish
Determined and fierce
Her only intention, his evil heart to pierce
Growling, their eyes alight
The hounds spread out, prepared to fight
The sight they made, fearful indeed
Forcing the brute into mighty speed
Roaring a proud cry of battle
The brute rushed forward with lightning’s noisy crackle
Agile and fast, the warrior princess spun around
The hefty sword shimmering as its point lifted from the ground
Fluid like the violent sea at her back
She burst towards danger, her every fiber thrown into attack
In her mind were the faces of those she’d lost
She would avenge them, no matter what the cost
Sword against sword the combatants met
It wouldn’t be over until one lay dead
Grace and speed a fair match indeed
It met brute force, until she would succeed
Endlessly they parried within their deadly dance
Making her wonder if she stood a chance
An error of judgment made her clumsily tumble
Her footing slipping, making her stumble
Triumphantly the brute roared his victory
His glee so great that he was too late to see
The hounds of hell burst forth en mass
Protecting, defending their fiery lass
Claws and teeth sharp and strong, they flew at the brute’s mighty form
They let the warrior princess do as she’d sworn
Tears of loss and pain trailed down her sallow cheek
Her sword rising, thrusting up into lighting’s peak
Power of vengeance and love pulsed through blood and limb
Her beautiful face pale, her expression grim
Heaving with one mighty stroke
The brutish enemy’s body broke
The empty shell that remained
Soon the earth would have regained
Alone she stood again
Her turmoil calming, a knowing inside telling her that this is where it all began
Rebuild the clan she would
In the end, the land would be as it should
There you go. It’s been a while that I wrote this thing, but it’s still cute enough, I guess.
That’s it for me today. I’m going to turn in early.
