Sounds of Battle by Eowyn_HorseJoy
Beat of horses’ hooves
Beat!
Like thunder on the plain
Beat!
Like a drum of war
Beat!
Like the hearts of valiant men
Beat!
As they ride to serve their country
Beat!
They reach their destination
Beat!
The sound of swords unsheathing
Beat!
The sound of steel clashing on steel
Beat!
The sound of arrows flying
Beat!
The sound of targets hit
Beat!
The sound of someone crying
Stillness steals across the battlefeild
There is no sound now, save for one
Silence.
Then it is joined by another sound
Doom.

Very cool! I like how you put all of the ‘beat’s there. It added a feeling of action to your poem. I might leave the word ‘sound’ the last time it appears. I don’t know if you need it there and it sounds just as cool without it. But do whatever you want, you’re the poet. Thanks for writing!
