NaPoWriMo Day 26

Today's poetry prompt is to use repetition.  Repetition is something that I use a lot of in my poetry writing, along with symmetry.  So I wanted to do something different, something more, with the idea of repetition.  The inspiration for today's poem came from the Legend of Zelda games.  The basic idea behind the whole series is that when Hyrule (or other lands) are in danger, the hero of courage will always rise up to save the day.  Repetition.  This became the basis of my poem so I hope you enjoy traveling along with me and the Hero of Courage as he one again saves the land.   Enjoy!


The Hero of Courage

I met an old man in a cave today.
It's dangerous to go alone, here take this.
I must defeat Ganon and save Zelda.
The hero of courage rises again.

A mark appears on the back of my hand
I'm told to seek out the triforce of courage
I must find it to wake Zelda and save Hyrule
The hero of courage rises again.

A call from Zelda wakes me from my sleep
Agahnim wishes to steal the crown and Ganon has corrupted the Sacred Relm
Both must be defeated to bring peace to Hyrule
The hero of courage rises again.

Sailing the ocean a big storm hits
Marin finds me washed up on the shore
The Wind Fish sleeps in the egg on the mountain
The hero of courage rises again.

A boy with no fairy becomes a man with a sword in the blink of an eye
Princess Zelda gives her orcarina to aid me
Ganondorf must be stopped to save Hyrule
The hero of courage rises again.

In a forest the Skull kid curses me; a deku scrub
A mysterious village on the other side
The moon is falling!
The hero of courage rises again.

The triforce calls me to Holodrum and Labrynna
With rod of seasons and harp of ages I repair the lands
Twinrova will not succeed this day
The hero of courage rises again.

Green clothes from my grandmother
Pirates help save my captured sister
Ganondorf the true threat once released
The hero of courage rises again.

A simple ranch worker in Ordon
Darkness descends upon the land, a twlight spirit my only guide
The land of Hyrule must be saved
The hero of courage rises again.

The Wing Ceremony on the floating sky isle
Zelda speaks of lands below the clouds
Ghirahim and the Imprisoned must be stopped
The hero of courage rises again.

100 years asleep, where am I?
What am I doing? What is that voice?
Calamity Ganon circles the palace, darkness for Hyrule a moment away.
The hero of courage rises again.


Thanks for reading!
