Fiery gazes attempting to kill,
Bodies poised and ready to strike forward,
Still staring hard, as if to break down wills.
A sign of cowardice – stepping backwards,
Yet their grips tighten, still seeking reward.
Daringly, they rush in for the first strike,
Unknowingly landing on hidden spikes.
It's been a long time since I've written anything as bad as this, at least of having to force the rhyme. The prompt was "duel" and hence the bad imagery, haha. This is for the 11th form, Rime Royale, from DFC 2014 IS HERE!.
