This is just a little acrostic piece I made for a fantasy contest on another website. Since I have to wait till the end of the month to see if it wins or not, I just want to see what other people think of it.

Note: This is a two part poem.

A Dragon and a Hero


A Dragon

Death and destruction descends like a storm -
creature of legend and mythical form.
Reaping the lives of the women and men -
flames of the winged one scorching their skin.
Agony, terror and hopelessness reigns -
children are crying with fear in their veins.
Giant and scaly, with hell colored eyes,
beast of the ancient rains fire from the skies.
Only the strongest survive the attack -
dreading the day that the creature comes back.
No man or weapon has challenged the scourge.
hope that a hero will someday emerge.


A Hero

Hope brings a hero to vanquish a beast.
Evil had driven its blood thirsty feast.
Ruthless and epic - the battle campaign.
Ode to the hero -  the dragon is slain.

Hello

Your words seem to my ear, to be in perfect cadance, and what better hero, than Hope.  Much enjoyed!
