I shall be taking a break. Spending time with family.
Next chapter will be posted on Monday the 12th of January.
I hope you all have been enjoying my mad, insane, quite crazy rhyming.
While the comments have kind of tapered off, they do mean a lot to me and I hope that I am writing something you are enjoying.
I do greatly appreciate your input, comments, criticisms and any suggestions on all the chapters so far. If I don't respond, that isn't you but me and the lack of my social skills, and not knowing what to say.
500 word minimum, so looking back at a couple of the verses that I liked so far.
------
A dragon appeared in all its glory,
How it was captured is another story,
Teeth like daggers and bigger than a troll,
Our Hero loses his bladder control,
He turns and run as fast as he can,
Running away without any plan,
------
The dragon fight was a difficult one to figure out, as he clearly couldn't fight, in a traditional sense, he had no practice as a fighter and a dragon is a dragon, so the dragon needed to be taken out by other means.
------
On his way there he passed a statued fountain,
Tall and detailed like a small carved mountain,
Of a Lady with beauty to the extreme,
Down her arms ran a small stream,
A small plaque declared her the protector of all,
If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
So feel proud of her protection and stand tall,
------
A female partner was requested, I haven't forgotten about that, and the statue isn't the female that was requested, it was just playing on my mind when I got to the statue description. So that is something to look forward to.
------
As the tunnel turned he came face to face,
With three skeletons moving with great pace,
The tight passage limited their means of attack,
So only one could approach from the pack,
What ensured was like a fencing match,
Until a blow the Skeletons skull did catch,
------
While the verse is pretty basic in its words, I do like the way I imagined the fight playing out. I have tried various things, throughout these chapters, the next one I felt rather good writing.
------
With every swing his tiredness grew,
With every undead, he once again slew,
With every step he was forced to step back,
With every skull that fell with a thwack,
With every zombie whose brain was pulverised,
His blades grace and shields protection was minimised,
------
I do try to avoid using the same words again and again for most of the verses, though with this one I learnt in on the repetition hard, and I feel it improved the flow.
------
So there were a few verses that I liked, there are many more that are good, but I've reached the 500 word minimum, so I shall end by wishing you all a Merry Christmas, and I hope you have a Happy New Year, and can't wait for next year to arrive and get back at it.
