Yet Another Quiet Day


from the ABC set Poems 1

I jump across just in time...
missing a huge rolling bolder
diving into the river

I swim across
pursued by sharks

On the other side of the shore
an enemy stands

Waiting...

I lash out
punching and kicking
desperate to survive
my aggression is rewarded with success
overpowered he slumps to the floor
dead!

There is now no time to wait

Continuing on my journey
a noise intensifies from above
louder and louder...

A shock wave sends me flying through the air

I get up and run
running like there is no tomorrow
dodging missiles as they pound the ground around me

My end is in sight
Just a bit further...

Through the door I burst
Where I am greeted by another adversary
but I don’t even try to fight
I manage to dodge his clutches
launching my self at the prize...

Phew...

A cup of tea me thinks...

Then onto level 6
