Desperate Measures

Today’s One Shoot Sunday Poetry challenge: Write a poem (or Flash Fiction 55) based on 1 of Fee Easton's photos out of the 5

Photograph by FEE EASTON





























     In a last ditch effort, I snatched off Grendella's hood and with a flick of the wrist, she took flight.  Her majestic form gained altitude quickly, and I hoped the inexperienced rearguard would notice her signal and send reinforcement.  All seemed lost...

      "For the black lion!"  Accompanied a cacophonous clash of steel, which littered the ground with torn body parts and dented or broken armor.

  4. Totally Cool, I've seen many of the flash fiction 55's and I really admire the people that can put a colorful a story in so small a package. Simply put, I cannot do it.
