The Night Is Gloomy.

The night is gloomy,the strong winds are raging
The enemy attacks with sharper arrows,the night is aging
This war is far from over and none is willing to surrender
Do you think i lie here because i have succumbed?
Even though i lie here,i will still command
"Do not take your bows,to shield those sharp arrows
Take the offensive,then you need no defense"
Do you think i lie here because i have succumbed?
I do not lie here,because i have succumbed
I surely need rest,not till the war is over
On this cloudy night,let us retreat not
Do you think i lie here because i have succumbed?
One side must lose the war,my battalion,take charge
The enemy is fast,speed up your actions!
Take my command,"go ye forth and fight!"
Do you think i lie here because i have succumbed?

Beautiful poetry
Leah,
You are a gifted poet. I especially like your repeated use of the line, "Do you think i lie here because i succumbed?" as it conveys so much from both she who thinks/speaks this thought and those who are judging her. I hope to read more of your beautiful poetry!
Love,
Jade
Thank you Rebecca and Jade.
I love to do poetry,if only it sends a message...
Hugs,
Leah.
