Facing off

against the beast in front of me,

watch her boastfully roar.

Watch me yell out in return,

I'm not afraid,

I've done this many times before.

 

She's fifty-two feet tall.

Can I beat her? I already know.

She lumbers forward, now

watch me grow to twice her size

I swipe out and down she falls.

This poem was more than I expected when I started reading it.  Love how the 2nd stanza took me by surprise.
