Warrior's Creed

orynnfireheart

As dawn stained the eastern sky

I pause

Gathering my strength for the day

I watch

Carrion birds descend upon their feast

I look

Upon my blade that hums within my grasp

I lament

At those who fell to my righteous wrath

I wait

For my heart to recapture the burning rage

I accept

The souls who cry to me in the night

I am

A warrior who answers the call to arms

I will

Draw steel only for justice's sake

I hope

To see the birth of each new day

Sparse and beautiful. I like "carrion bird."

Thank you. I appreciate the comment. It helps me to realize that maybe I'm not as bad as I fear.

I LUV IT!!! I never thought to incorporate fantasy in poetry, maybe i'll try that sometime and post it, and about the apalling # of reads vs. comments, At least yours get read!!! I have put up four poems and nobody has read them or commented on them, obviously, I think I STINK at writing, nobody even reads mine!!! Well enough self-pity from me!!! It was a great poem and i DO love it and will try the fantasy in poetry thing soon sounds really cool and fun!

Hey....thanks for the comment and have no fear. I will be more than happy to read your work. I just usually don't have time to spend on such endeavors anymore, but I shall try my best to make an effort. Good work should never go unread or unheralded.

Well, of course I agree with everyone else that this is a really really really nice poem, because if I didn't, I'd had to be like... unable to read. Or something.
And about the number of reads- It's really amazing how people will read stuff, never comment, and then get upset if a person doesn't comment/update. Where's the logic in that? If you don't tell a person you appreciate their writing, they're going to think they're horrible at it.
Anyways, great job, and great poem!

Thanks. Your words read so true about reads/comments. I really wonder sometimes. If you want comments, you should give comments. Nothing for nothing as they say. I really appreciate your comments and once again I bow to your writing prowess...^_^
