The Prophecy

This is going to be a part of a story I'm working on. I'm still in the initial phases of rounding out the characters, but this is what I have written so far.

What do you think?

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

When darkness reigns, and evil prowls,

Seizing minds with intentions foul.

When dark the Sun circles overhead,

And one and all's lives are filled with dread.

 

A hero will rise to repair all.

And make the mighty fall.

Sounds intruiging. There are a couple places where the rhythm is a bit rough, on a first read through, but going back over it i could adjust.

 

Will be interesting to see what comes of this. =)

Strange... The third line particularly seems rough. It's obvious that you rearranged it in Yoda-speak for the sake of the rhyme.

 

Perhaps "The Sun, dark, circles overhead,"?

 

The repetition of "when" isn't really necessary in this case I think. This is a continuation of the previous thought anyway.

 

And just "the people's lives are filled with dread."? the one and all bit is a really rough read, I think.

 

It has potential, it's just really rough in some spots. That probably just means you need some practice rhyming. :D Keep at it! It'll get easier to avoid Yoda-speak.
