This is a free verse thingy...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
La Fausse
One day in spring came a maiden dressed in white.
She walked the streets so gracefully; so familiar yet so far.
She reminded us of our great martyr, but was only a reminder.
The girl told us she was Joan, having the same charms as she.
She was brimming with her speed and power, fooling many in the process.
Because of her actions, we were safe. There was no more worry.
And months passed, all being well.
When she walked the streets, she was only admired.
But, suddenly, the maiden spoke.
She revealed her true self, Jehanne de Sermaize, the Slayer.
There was great uproar, angering many.
Days passed, the news circulating amongst the townspeople,
Until her fate was finally decided.
Then, on the cruelly hot summer day, she was brought up in front of the whole town;
And tied up with the flames.
She was burnt to pieces, every memory of Joan gone.
Even though they were Slayers; even though they protected us for so long,
They died the same way.
And, with that, another girl was called;
Bringing harm to us again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jehanne de Sermaize was actually a real life imposter of Jeanne d'Arc.
She's mentioned on a site which I can't provide a link to right now, due to my post count.
So, post comments, please.
