Prisoner Boy

by Captain HC   Dec 10, 2010


Sitting shackled, waiting to fight for his freedom, living is almost impossible with out his demons. thought to be a weakling, bloodied or killed his opponents. prisoner boy.

He escapes and walks in the shadows for fear he is being followed. On his walk he discovers a crying mother. The mother tells him that she is blind and cannot find her daughter. He agrees to search for her.

He finds the daughter midway into his travels in a cave. She tells him how she was left to die in the woods by a wicked witch. He agrees to slay the witch, but only for the young woman's hand in marriage.

Walking through the woods, they stopped but twice, to eat and sleep. The girl asked the boy questions like his name and about his life. He didn't remember his own name. His life was simple, trapped in a cell given food when the warden allowed it. Their next stop was to ask where the witch lived. They found her shack shortly after. Pulling out his Axe, ready to strike, the boy cannot move, the witch casts a spell on him. Breaking the will of the spell, he beheaded the witch. The girl did as she promised and married the boy

    You have nice words hun. Deep emotions powerful owrds. Good diction. But I wouldn't call this a poem. More of a story. I'd think about making your lines shorter. Look at some other poets on the site and see how they word their poems and how the syntax is. That would help you with your pieces. Keep writing though. Nik

    Okay, that was pretty good,
    id work on flow and how things fit together a little bit more, like now im wondering if the mother is okay, and who captured him and how all this other stuff.
