A ballad for you! In response to Writing 201’s Poetry Prompt: Hero(ine).

Hey Hero.
We are looking for you.

A skeleton
traveling across continents
seeking for self
comforting others’ laments

Hey Hero.
Hey Hero.
Tell us your stories.

A muscular outline
marching towards flames
no fear as strong as
his appetite for dames

Hey Hero.
Hey Hero.
Tell us your glories.

A stallion
bucking away from home
finding dangers and strangers
obeying gut feeling to roam

Hey Hero.
Hey Hero.
Tell us your memories.

A tree
standing still, tall in the storm
canopying neighboring trees
sacrificing his own form

Hey Hero.
We are looking for you.
