My Heroine

 

Electro shields and racing cars

Kung fu flips and tiger snarls

All contrasting Barbie dolls

 

Blacks and greens and reds and blues

All outshining pinkish hues

 

Wars were not for girls to fight

That I thought as my wings took flight

Towards spider webs and plasma beams

Guns and swords and skeletal fiends

 

Until one plain day I met this sight

Of her sole fists clashing through the night

 

I saw imps and ghouls and slimy beasts

Scattered in clever shadows all about

North and South and West and East

 

Strength and speed

That buckled my knees

Almost as crazy as

Hercules

 

Yet just as humble

And twice as brave

Poor souls behind bars

Waiting to be saved

 

She rarely missed or lost a life

'Cause God had given her plenty

I'd watch her swing and sway and slide

And shoot a dozen in a row- or maybe twenty-

 

I'd watch her conquer miles

Her sword erect in one hand

She'd turn to me and smile

Feet sternly fixed in the sand

 

She was my heroine and she was the one

Who had beat the legendary score

Of five-hundred thousand and thirty-one

Love this! Women rock as warriors.

Very Nice. Kind of fantasy/ fairy folklore which can be read to children. Well written Wella..

Cool, I like it.
It's got a bit of feminist taste to it.
I like how it's a boy realizing how your heroines matter as much as your heros do.
