A Dragon and a Hero

This is just a little acrostic piece I made for a fantasy contest on another website. Since I have to wait till the end of the month to see if it wins or not, I just want to see what other people think of it.

Note: This is a two part poem.

A Dragon and a Hero


Dragon

Death and destruction descends like a storm -
creature of legend and mythical form.
Reaping the lives of the women and men -
flames of the winged one scorching their skin.
Agony, terror and hopelessness reigns -
children are crying with fear in their veins.
Giant and scaly, with hell colored eyes,
beast of the ancient rains fire from the skies.
Only the strongest survive the attack -
dreading the day that the creature comes back.
No man or weapon has challenged the scourge.
hope that a hero will someday emerge.


Hero

Hope brings a hero to vanquish a beast.
Evil had driven its blood thirsty feast.
Ruthless and epic - the battle campaign.
Ode to the hero - the dragon is slain.

I love fantasy, and I have fondness for fantasy poetry. It was fun to read. I have one question though, on the last line of dragon,

Quote:

hope that hero will someday emerge.

Do you mean hope that a hero will someday emerge? Or did you write it that way intentionally to convey something a little different?

Here you have a wonderful idea to keep two things together, a combination of both things put finely together.

Oops...there should be an "a" there. Thanks for pointing that out and it's now corrected.
