A poem: The Samurai

[Seffy]

I was going through my old stuff that I wrote in high school and I came across this poem that I wrote my senior year of high school in my English class. We were reading about a pilgrimage and the teacher asked us to write about a person that we wanted to see on this pilgrimage so I chose a Samurai! :scorps: Sorry In advance if you don't like it, it's been a very long time since I've even seen this poem. Also we had to follow a certain format for it.

The Samurai

Another Pilgrim there was a samurai,
An assassin with demonic eyes.
Alone he traveled being discrete,
Avoiding all the villagers to whom he could meet.
Wearing nothing more than a kimono and a sword,
His duty was to protect his only lord.
Traveling on foot to blend in better,
Hoping and praying for the best of weather.
He had ears of a fox,
But wasn't as strong as an ox.
He was slender and some say weak,
But determined of obtaining what he may seek.
Some say he doesn't know when to give up,
But he's not going to be left with an empty cup.
Some say he thirsts for blood and danger,
But he falls when his wounds are major.
He's not a bloodthirsty raging beast,
But an honorer-able warrior at the very least.
He would give everything he had, including his life,
Just to protect his family, especially his wife.

Let me know what you guys think, I'm not a poet lol.

Doubtful....well maybe Idk yet xd
With this one I had a format and such I had to follow so it's not my best as I'm bounded by restrictions.
Anytime I'm forced to write a certain way, I don't do well. >.>

It was nice. Except for the parts that rhymed.
Seemed a bit odd. (was that part of the requirements?)
Whenever someone post something that is years old; I really would like a follow up offering of something recent. So, I hope you challenge yourself & give us a nice surprise of a new poem soon.
*thanks for sharing*

yeah we had to write in the same format as the story we read -_-
^_^ sure I can work on a new poem if you'd like, though it's been ages since I wrote poetry. O_O lol and I will steer away from rhyming if you wish
