THE WAR MAIDEN

Shimmering through the corridors,
the maiden moves frigidly into the great hall,
In her hand, she holds a sword,
its hilt diamond encrusted with rubies.

Stalactites hang from the great entablature,
the great columns stand,
like frozen giant guards,
that rise into the night sky,
as the maiden makes ready for battle.

Hi there, Jennifer. I like this very much;-)

Just one tiny typo, fourth line. Should be 'its' without the apostrophe.

Love your choice of vocabulary, especially:-

"Stalactites hang from the great entablature,
the great columns stand,
like frozen giant guards..."

Great stuff!

Hi Tina,

thankyou so much for telling me about the spelling,
when I wrote it, I meant to change it, forgot it
totally slipped my mind. Thanks again, I will
change straight away.

Glad you enjoyed this one.
