Boudica - A Poem
Genevieve is a Wannabe poet and self proclaimed artist who wishes to do something greater in life.
The legend of Boudica is an inspiring one. History is often bloody in a fight for resource stability. Lives were often short yet eventful where only the most powerful survived. We have come a long way since but we still have a long way to go. By studying the past, we learn not to make their same mistakes.
Boudica
The sun in her eyes
The wind in her hair
Green grass underfoot
Crumbling soil under nails
Voice trill like the birds
Laughter sweet like the streams
Hair flowing like water
Shimmering bright in the light
Quiet like the mouse
And Swift as the owls
Deadly like the snake
And Mind Sharp like the fox
Nimble as the clouds
And fierce like the storms
Crowned in wreaths of flowers
With Fire burning in her heart

This is a perfect depiction of the Boudica I remember from my history books. Your poem conjured up all the strength of this warrior. Loved it.
