Long after the battle is over

Long after the battle is over

she remains fluid

in a fighting stance

wild eyes crouching

behind one long strand of anime hair.

 

The woman in black

continues to look

so fierce

amongst the mundane of things.

 

Finally,

she relaxes into herself

and begins the long walk home.

 

It must be lonely

having no archenemy

strong enough to defeat you.

Nice piece of imagery in this poem, I can almost imagine a woman in black on a lonely street standing there bold. The last two stanza's seem like she is simply giving up because there is no more interest when someone is not strong enough to beat you, and when that happens, there is simply no reason to keep a place. It is true, no competition means that you will be lonely and bored. Great work!

[Branch Isole]

This homage to heroics often lost with each additional victory over an enemy flows well inthis piece.

[Mika Haruna]

very good imagery, the lines of the poem seemed to flow off the (virtual) page, great job

I like this short poem. Create a good vision of the woman in black standing strong and unafraid. Thank you for a outstanding poem.
