The Sound Of Death

Warriors from both sides prepare to fight
Both equiping weapons of incredible might
Soon the battle will begin in an empty field
For most of these warriors, their fates are sealed

Thousands and thousands of warriors are seen
They fight to protect and serve the queen
Marching forward with hope and pride
Getting ready to crush the other side

Many will be crippled or dead
Some will be captured and chained
Fed nothing but water and bread
For a warriors hands are stained


The two large armies finally meet
Neither of them will accept defeat
Everything is too calm and quiet
Soon, this will break into a riot

Then both sides yell out "FOR THE QUEEN!"
So many falling bodies has never been seen
Grunts, cries, yelling and weapon sounds
are heard in the distance of the battle grounds

Not too many survived this horrible fight
Such a waste to see who had more might
Both sides lost alot of warriors and resources
The need to kill and conquer are embeded forces

Many have been crippled and more are dead
Some have been captured and most are chained
Fed nothing but warm water and moldy bread
For a warriors hands are always stained


Everything went dark and it began to rain
Setting the mood of this death and pain
Thunder and lightning lit the dark sky
As it heard the tremble of an armies war cry

Give her two red roses, each with a note. The first note says "For the woman I love" and the second, "For my best friend."

Great work, Aaron!  Very very impressive, this painted an image in my mind that will linger in my dreams tonight.  
How pleasant!  You are a great storyteller, I can't wait to see your next poem.

Ahem....*coughs*......AHhhhh!!!!!!

Nice eh?

Well done on the poem! I really felt you did great on it. It was a great story and I really liked the ending. I could really envision the events unfolding within the poem. VERY nice and I hope to see more!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Wow, Aaron! This is nothing short of outstanding! The imagery was brilliant and the use of italics really gave the piece that story-like feel. The flow was fairly fluent and it is just a big A+ all round.

Great subject matter. I always find that more revealing than the poem itself. Your way of using these words to paint a vivid picture of pain and suffering is excellent. Unfortunatly such waste of lives has not ended with the dark ages but has transformed into more technilogical stages.
