With youth soft skin and eager heart
I flinched from every venomed dart
And guiltless sought to make things right
Then as I grew I armour wore
To save me from the wounds so sore
A cuirass that was strong, but tight
It saved me from the need for healing
That armour coldly cut off feeling
Dulled my hearing, blocked my sight
But now I have that armour cast
And free of it, I stand at last
With steel strong skin I fear no fight
Inspired by the writing prompt HERE using the quotation :
Never make a defence or an apology until you are accused.
Charles I of England
Finn’s first novel A Step Beyond Context is available on Amazon.co,uk and Amazon.com and a few others as well. It’s a punchy genre-busting mystery with a heroine who is a Regency lady, a high tech mercenary and much more.
