Poetry Kitchen Incentive - the long poem

[stryck]

I promised myself that when I got about halfway through the poem prompts from my last Poetry Kitchen, I'd start on the third incentive: the long poem

Prompts

I think it would be cool to have a poem written in a historic heroic style (any of these would fit, though I like saga the best) about a modern hero's heroic deed(s). Maybe someone like a firefighter trying to control the forest fires sweeping the west during the dry summers, or a park ranger searching for avalanche victims.

I had not seen it until now. Wow, that's amazing! Thank you for sharing.

I voted for ode. I don't have any ideas for themes, though.

I guess I'm the other vote for saga. I'm new here (via Crowdfunding community)and saw this post on the Friends page while working on the Online Bookstore (due to go up last week, but delayed by the "attack"). Hope more sponsors weigh in!

Welcome! Do you run a cat sanctuary?

I'm all for a heroic tale, but I'd like to see something different. We all have the potential to undertake the hero's journey, but we might not see our daily challenges that way.
