My Pride

by Court   Mar 21, 2014


I have danced with the vampire
howled with the wolf
Battled the warrior
Fought in the snow

I have held the defeated
defended the strong
Argued the right
Corrected the wrong

I have seen the star-gazer
heard his song
with eyes closed tight
Seen a road so long

Through grinning gargoyles
and the giggling ghoul
no more lies
I have seen the soul

    I like how you used and linked vampire, wolf, warrior and snow, the flow is also great!

    Love your choice of words in this stanza, it allows the flow to remain!

    This is very creative, it allows the reader to picture what it would look like, sound like and visualise, truly an effective technique!

    Through grinning gargoyles
    and the giggling ghoul
    no more lies
    I have seen the soul

    WOW utterly magnificent!
