T’was a little late, She not knowing she was bait Walked so unaware Wandering nowhere Lost in a sad sobbing stride The tears would not hide. Then seen as victim By mean eyes and dirty skin, Began to follow Shadow to shadow With vile intent rushed her bold Rape and murder cold His attack was pressed Ripping at her pretty dress In his evil rush To quench all his lust, But he did not really know This place of shadow. Only when the feel Of sixteen inches of steel Thrust through his dark heart Making life depart Released him from evils grip While to sidewalk slip. The bait ran away, Only the dead would there stay, The stalking was done And nothing was won, But he wouldn’t stalk again; Left an alley stain Gloom |

Sixteen inches? That's one big knife. This was a good atmosphere piece, I enjoyed it. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Thank you, LeeJ Self defense is important, as well as keeping one’s wits, There might not always be a protector available Thank you, Kahlil, High praise it that a poem makes the reader think Thank you, Pilgrimage, It’s a sword, not a knife, thin with both edges sharpen, but not actually a rapier so it retains the strength to parry a larger sword. Pleased you enjoyed. Gloom |

Took this one a bit deeper...strongly stated there is an art to self defense that begins with not fighting against the attack, but having focus enough to move with it, acting and not reacting. You have quite a knack for fishing Gloom... TD |

Thank you, passing shadows For taking the time to read and respond Thank you, ThisDiamond The method you refer to is judo, which takes the force of the opponent and uses it against him/her. They say this is a gentler form of self defense since the defense is more than the attack like in karate. I prefer to fish without catching. Pleased you enjoyed. Thank you, Iliana, More than a thug deserves, a marker A pleasure to see your comment beneath my humble words. Gloom |
