A Sound of Wonder (A Wonder Woman Poem)

It took 75 years for Wonder Woman to grace the silver screen, and now that she's finally here the world is having a glimpse of what the heroic Amazon can do. I highly recommend the movie not just as a worthy role model for women, but for all genders. Diana Prince, aka Wonder Woman, fights for the freedom of everyone, and in this day and age of hate, shes the kind of hero we all need right now.
To celebrate, I decided to write a poem. The story to this is the image of Wonder Woman is famous throughout Themyscira, and its her spirit that spurs on the remaining Amazons as they fight their enemies in a vicious battle.

Read on, enjoy and watch the movie.

 

A SOUND OF WONDER

(A Woman Woman Poem)

A fire burns,

up above, and within.

Escalates and turns

the meek against sin.

Brandishing swords,

raising shields,

they charge to incoming hordes,

across the bloodied battlefield.

They won't stand down,

they'd rather die.

Giving everything for the crown.

This is where they're enemies lie.

The fight is long,

the fight is hard,

but they know they do no wrong,

when honour is what they guard.

With each strike,

and with each blow,

its a joy they almost like,

turning back each foe.

War has no pleasure,

especially when blood is shed,

but a necessity to measure,

for the war cry “they've fled!”

The celebration intensifies,

sounding like thunder,

but they'll know when looking to the skies,

its a sound of wonder.

Their fighting spirit was given,

from their Amazonian princess.

Like a gift from heaven,

any other power is less.

The battle is theirs,

for they showed no fear.

They don't easily scare,

as the presence of Diana was near.

Aided by might,

but more importantly her grace.

It bestows to them the light,

to defend every known race.

This day was won,

but what does tomorrow bring?

“Let it come!”

History will sing.

What evil would divide,

on its corrupt trail,

will fall by the wonder women's sides,

and all of goodness will prevail.

To Diana, the strong.

To Diana, the fair.

Her legend is written in song,

its chorus reaches the air.

Let it be known through the ages,

let this statement be clear.

When hate boils, and rages,

Courageous solidarity will appear.
