The air was washed in thunder Lightning flashed afar The earth was torn and rent asunder As titans came to spar Up onto the podium a victim chosen true he had partaken of their sodium and now the day would rue He gave his hand in friendship Then offered spiked glove Betrayal by his poets trip Grew anger out of love And as he stood there trembling The warriors took the field He changed his mind, dissembling As they refused to yield First came the warrior Sunshine With sword of steely bright The ring of steel, echoed through time Was raised with power of write To stand beside came Balladeer Not wearing lace or leather He was the Titan all should fear With poet's mace, quilled feather Kethry stood beside the two As she took her place Her role, pick up the pieces strewn Shreds of the victim's face Soon the crowds all gathered round A warrior clash to see Thunder's might the only sound Of the victim's futility With trembling knees and fainting heart The victim took a stand To beat the three, would then impart Unknown power to his command To be continued… Religion is for people frightened about going to hell - Spirituality is for people who have been there.

Now you of all three know that I never start what I can't finish, well sometimes I do but this isn't one of them, is it?  I have completed the poem just waiting for a suitable timeframe to post the other 85,757 sections *just kidding* (maybe) Keth Religion is for people frightened about going to hell - Spirituality is for people who have been there.

Well this cowboy knows when to stay out of the way. With the three of you together I don't think any pirate let alone LJA has a chance. Stepping aside now because I don't want to be a victim in this battle. |
