Heroine

 

 

 

 

Born

 

Defender

 

Beauty unrivaled

 

Determined soldier

Loyal and courageous

 

Chosen to atone and restore

Empowered by her Lord's sanctity

Girded with her sword of righteousness

With a warrior's fierce heart, yet angelic soul

She'd risen from the ashes of innocent complacency

Artwork: Dragon Spirit by Luis Royo

So the picture will be your inspiration,

BUT

there is going to be a bit of a twist on this contest.


First, all entries will be ONLY ten lines in length.

You will be building a pyramid.


So in essence, the proper technique of your poem will be read backwards.

Yep! That's right. You are going to write your poem so that it should technically be read from the bottom up.


Obviously, the bottom line is your foundation.... the stronest point of your poem.

Each line up will be slightly shorter, adding to the building blocks of your opening. And eventually culminating in a powerful one word peak to your pyramid.


Think it's easy?

Not!


But to add depth to this, it has to make some kind of sense for those that do come in and read it from the top down!

    Yep! Works both ways in reading, and fits the picture with ease. You have captured her essence and gracefully put it to words.

    Thank you for entering and good luck.
