Assassins Deed

by Elapsed   Nov 19, 2007


Stalking through illuminated streets,
Advance cloaked amount shadows.
Presence mysterious, swift in fleets,
Dwindling in unknown hollows.

Determination within bladed eyes,
Thoughts clear, evil intentions at mind.
Waiting for the perfect time to arise,
The Kunoichi had the target outlined.

Oblivious to an untimely demise,
Her victim comes within reach.
Without honor the target dies,
The song of steel unleashed.

Silently slipping back to conclave,
Without animosity she casts decree.
A broken corpse with no grave,
The mark of an Assassins deed.

Kunoichi were trained differently than male ninja. Their training focused more on disguise, poisons, and using their gender to an advantage.

    What a wonderful job you didi putting this story to verse. Imagery is fantastic. It is almost like being there.

    Oblivious to an untimely demise,
    Her victim comes within reach.
    Without honor the target dies,
    The song of steel unleashed.

    This stanza really stood out to me. I love the line "The song of steel unleashed"
    Great job!
