A Damsel In Distress

A Damsel in Distress He entered as a neophte Into a darkened room at night He could not see but he could hear A distant sound within the void He paced himself slowly so He would not flounder to the sound To keep his wits lest he might fall The noise increased as he drew near On inhibition how to act The door creaked open to a light A bombast female voice was heard A lady held against her will An ugly ogre’s eyes revealed Lecherous looks that he could see He pounced and him and beat him down Providence was on his side To watch the ashes from her plight Smolder then there was no more Protecting her, he held her close To lessen her dolorous look Behold, a hero has arrived To save a damsel in distress Eight Word Free Verse Challenge Poetry Contest Sponsored by Joh Hamilton June 2, 2019
