OctPoWri Mo: Intimidation Game

Write cinematically.  Use your words to tell the story. Think deeply about the emotions, the mood, the scene. Use a clip from a favourite movie/music video, mute it and let yourself be inspired.

If we are talking movies, then there is only one choice. I am writing a poem, free form. I know, what a surprise! I usually write in poetic forms on varying styles, meter, and whatnot. Not today! Today is about to explore another medium and write something beautiful out of it.

My favourite movie of all-time is Labyrinth. I chose the final confrontation scene to write about. I think it turned out well. What you you think, Dear Readers? Enjoy!!

Intimidation Game

Like stalking the prey,

but the prey is smarter than you

and doesn't run.

And you are forced out of hiding.

Bold,

what do you do?

Armed with your wit

and wiley good looks

meet in the center,

on neutral ground they say.

It's like a game,

a war

You so confident--

she so naive.

Who is calling the shots?

with nothing but a crystal

you tell her.

She pushes back.

You give her what she asks, 

but only does she push harder.

A game, they say,

intimidation 

and nothing is guarenteed, 

except their will be a victor.

Do you really know the outcome, 

when the battle is so obvious.

Standing strong confidant,

weak and cowering,

only when the clock does chime will they know.

But who is the predator 

and who is the prey?
