Another poem. I'm on like some sort of spree here, Woohoo! Hope you like it, I've had this one on my computer, gathering micro-dust for a while. It's not that long, compared to some of my poems, and it's not one of my best poems, but I'm posting it anyway. I was going to post it tomorrow, but then I realized that tomorrow would be a big day for me. Why? Because Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince is coming out! And of course I have it pre-ordered! If you read Artemis Fowl, you gotta read Harry Potter! So I decided to just post it early.

This is my fifth poem posted on this website! Hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I do not own Artemis Fowl. Eoin Colfer does. Not me.

Summary: A short poem about Holly, and what she thinks during the stressed time we all know as when Commander Root died.

The lines are supposed to be separated into quartets, but it didn't work on this for some reason. Just letting you know.

Redemption

When a good friend's life

Hangs on a bomb

And all your plans

Seem to go wrong

What do you do?

As the counter ticks down

And the smile on his face

Is replaced by a frown

Your worst enemy

Wears a smirk on her face

The blame is on you

You're filled with disgrace

All you can think is

How can this be?

How could this possibly

Happen to me?

Then you get a chance

To redeem yourself

You must make this shot

You have to, or else

But the unthinkable happens

You screw up your chance

Then your nemesis does

A victory dance

He smiles again

And says, 'Be well'

Your eyes cloud up

Like it's some kind of spell

His eyes show

No trace of fear

And you dimly wonder

Will redemption ever be here?
