Decagon Poem by Uche Nwanze

A lonely serene night and the knight was miles away
To flight, hasty lazy steps she took
In fright he paced in anxiety if only I could take the first flight at first light
To the bright stars I beckoned to for help
Alas! The cry of a princess of blue blood resounded the dark night
A sight to behold, she graced our presence
A Light to illuminate our blight earth
A thousand wars I will fight for her, as is my right as your knight in shining armor
A decade of greatness our little princess have attained
Lofty heights you accomplish
Walls of encumbrance cascade for your sake
Doors of blessings unlatched for you
Enemies at your gates shall be annihilated
A fortress, men and women shall seek sanctuary
Like a sequoia tree provide refuge and shelter to all birds
An Amazon to extinguish every albatross that stand in your path.
