hng_deathmatch and first posted
here. My first ever piece of fan-poetry. O_o
Alone at last
His rival has fallen
The other galaxy torn
Sundered, rent
Black fragments drowning in his white.
He stares at his hand
Unfamiliar--familiar
Long-missed
Holding a folding fan.
(This should have been yours.)
He smiles across the board
His heart clenching in opposition
They bow.
I remain irrepressibly pleased that this little 48-word poem gave my opponent
a run for her money. A 1-vote loss? I'm surprisingly all right with it. ♥
