Well begun is half done


A call was rung throughout the place
Contenders new were called
Three warriors there to set the pace
And Kethry stayed, her fists were balled

First came Sven, power implied
With flail of words of might
Then stood Denise, whose word was tried
And tested against the night

The third Doreen with net of mesh
Words to entrap and snare
The weary man no longer fresh
Walked to the ring, to battle there

Doreen began with feint and thrust
To catch the victim's chest
He was agile and he must
Avoid the feint, and beat the best

Backwards, peddle backwards
The victim's heart did beat
If he could not win the wit of swords
He soon would be dead meat

The storm that broke
Now had passed
The sun's stroke
Arrived at last

The victims face was worried
His skin was wet and slick
One small thing could not be hurried
To win this round would take a trick

The victim slumped to the ground
As if in despair
Then slowly looking all around
He grabbed onto Doreen's hair

And pulled her down, her with the net
He raised his eyes in plea
Emperor Ron said "well met
You've won this bout tis victory"

To be continued...

Sunshine, ethome and Deer
onto 5. I can't make any comments without getting booted, so discretion is the better part of valour.
