"Chasing Chase" by Dan Shevock

SF&F Picture 5 out of 31 by Dan Shevock

A poem dedicated to one of the party members, a Duskblade Elf, in my Saturday D&D group

Chasing Chase

By Dan Shevock

an elven arrow, an ornate spear

a look of flustered chagrin

why do her own kind chase Chase?

those of the same skin, perhaps her kin. what sin does she shade,

this spicy duskblade?

what game’s being played, who does she evade, is she afraid?

an enigma … a stigma… within

2 May 2007	Sarah-amy haley	Loading... Ooo lots of rhyme on one line! I like that, and the title makes me laugh for some reason. Dan Shevock replies: " this one makes me smile too. Chase is a character played by my girlfriend."
3 May 2007	Désirée Dippenaar	Loading... I like the wordplays here! ^^ And also the rhyming within the line, can't remember the proper literary term for that... >.< This really brings up lots of questions about Chase, why she's being chased, etc. etc... interesting! I liked it~ ^^ Dan Shevock replies: "Thanks, I've always called it "internal rhyme," but not sure if that's the official term. If so, I must say thank you to Mrs. Westrick, my 8th grade Reading teacher. She was probably the most recent teacher I had to emphasize parts of speech, and terminology/jargon. (that was in 198"
