well here's my poem:

The Ninja
By: Donna W. (me)

Through the Darkest night,
when the full moon's glow has cast.
A ninja, a living shadow, steps into the pale moonlight,
To slay every man in it's way.

The ninja is not indeed a man,
but a woman to be precise.
Her weapon's, her trusty companion,
is a steel fan, and a sharp small dagger

With deadly grace, and costant skills
neither beast nor man can match,
no mercy for those she kills.
She became feared as the shadows of death.

A lone samurai stood to test his might,
a worthy opponent is her.
His blade yearned to give me eternal night.
Like the unseen wind, I was upon him.

With a flash of steel
I fell to my knees holding my stomach
blood running down my side,
The samurai has drawn his last.

With a quick rebound from the samurai's blade,
My dagger found it's mark.
With blood and debt repaid,
The samurai fell lifeless to the ground.

My opponent vanquished, my love for death still unquenched, as I set off to continue my committment.

p.s. I actually had to act this out in my school in front of two classes, which was super cool. And plus, I got a good grade

haha..did you know that a ninja is actually a samurai spy?

[Paradox of Life]

I personally don't think it's very impressive. You start out talking about a ninja girl and then it goes to first person. What character do you represent? And why is it so unclear in your poem?

'With deadly grace, and costant skills
neither beast nor man can match,
no mercy for those she kills.
She became feared as the shadows of death.'

Match and death don't rhyme.

This poem is a bit cliche and could use a lot of work. It wasn't put together very well for a ballad. And don't put those smileys in there

^ actually it's line 1 & 3 that's suppose to rhyme, and I'm still bad at poetry, i just wanted to place that
