This is my contribution toSue Vincent’s #write photo prompt. Blade
Interesting as I have had this poem of sorts in the wings. Timing is everything, isn’t it.
I changed it just a tad to fit with the photo and believe I named her appropriately.
Thank you, Sue for the prompt!💗
Who is she?
Her stance that of a warrior
A Priestess?
Her body taut
What of her eyes?
What do they speak?
Mercy?
With reverence
peering through
ancient castle walls
she wants to know,
who she is really
She picks up the Emerald sword
and whispers into its steel
With one swift movement
two are one
Hands wrapped around the blade
with intentions on the scale
She cuts through the veil
A stream of light,
a thousand Suns,
She disappears
Her cloak outer wear
Who is she now?
I like the fact the protagonist is a woman holding the blade.

Beautiful. Not all who wield the sword are men. Women can be strong as well.

Excellent but I agree with Sue that does look like a man in the photo. That however does not detract from your powerful poem 💜💜
