Silk slides on the breeze
Meets the flow of sharpened steel
Leaves a perfect tear

Poem a day challenge #252 (Sky Fight)
Sky Fight
By Scott Bailey © 2014
Flash in the dark blue sky
Clash of sword and bone
Roar of fire high above
Heaven’s thunderous tone
Samurai meets his nemesis
A dragon of the sky
Golden claw fights silver blade
Above the mountains high
Gods look down with fearful frowns
While people gaze above
Do they fear the fiery jaws
Or the hardened iron glove
The enduring will of the flying knight
Feeds his skilful blade
The ancient wisdom of the drake
Ensures he’ll not be played
Red streaks of fire on velvet sky
Silver streaks cut through
Showers of sparks come raining down
To birth a magic brew
And still the battle blunders on
All over every land
Until the both when both are stilled
By a cold and magic hand

Poem a day challenge #222 (Hero)
Hero
By Scott Bailey © 2014
I hold aloft my steel
Scarlet streaked
With invaders blood
My flag whips
High on the hill
A victory that will echo
Across the land
At my feet
The dead
Men women and children
Warriors and supporters
Murder of an infant nation
That will yet rise again
Yet
My sword and I
Will be hailed
Through history
The hero and his weapon

Poem a day challenge #196 (Red Steel)
Red Steel
By Scott Bailey © 2013
Blood soaked steel
The sword of a knight
Held up proud
Aloft and bright
He hums to himself
“For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government
shall be upon His shoulder; and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor,
the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace”
With banshee scream
He storms on down
To hammer home peace.
