For those who survive here'e number five


The victim was, breathing hard
Heart pounding long and loud
To win this bout against the Bard
He must appease the crowd

Sunshine's gleam gave him a thought
This battle he could win
If he the crowd's approval sought
And just admit his sin

But this could not be, he'd sigh
The crowd wanted his head
Much more real to try to fly
And use sun's light instead

Denise and Sven, together marched
Towards the ring's bright center
The ground now arid, dry and parched
No sign of rain that entered

The sun began to beat down
And in the distant west
The rain bedazzled wore a crown
At Rainbow's behest

Kethry pushed from behind
Her job to wear him out
Denise and Sven in union kind
Began to fight the bout

The victim stood and edged around
His back toward the sun
If he in darkness could be found
He would not be the only one

He crawled around the wall's edge
And took Denise from behind
Placed his fingers on a ledge
And hurt with words unkind

Denise was sorely wounded
But Sven came in to kill
The horn rose as battle sounded
The fight was joined for good or ill

To be continued…
