Chapter 12.5 To Strike While the Blood is Cold

By Henry Coldnight

Slash!
my quick sword in a flash.

Freeze!
do you feel
the breeze of death?

Slice!
and dice.
I cut you into pieces!

Storms
of piercing ice;
spinning of blades.

Run,
and give me the fun
of hunting you down!

Come
and get some
if you dare.

Strike!
while my blood is cold
and the iron [memory] is hot!

----------------------------------------------

Her anger, regrets burned into
cold, cold flames,
colder-than-ice fire,
fueled with each blow,
renewed with each hit,
burning and freezing,
falling and rising--

from now on;
zero mercy, endless pain.

    Yes, I hear ya. I wasn't too completely satisfied with the sound either. However I did want to emphasize it because I was trying to recreate the intensity and quickness of the fight scene I formed in my head. =>_

    i didnt think the repetition on the words sounded good. it seemed like you were trying to emphasize it too much. other than that i really liked the last section =]
