Iona Grayling's Vapor Prophet

A Poem by Cambion

Look at her, midsection lines blazing

    Heaving prow swollen with glittering ion beams

Her aft sections tight and proud

    Bravely bolstering her posture as she surges into the fray

Battle joined, she calls the hunt with thunder

    Heralding fell sensors' unerring gaze

For none in the skies who've caught her eyes

    Have survived her deadly rays

Look at her, midsection lines blazing

Heaving prow swollen with glittering ion beams

Her aft sections tight and proud

Bravely bolstering her posture as she surges into the fray

Upon that shining bridge, tungsten crown of heroism

Heralding fell sensors' unerring gaze

And none in the skies who've caught her eyes

Have survived her deadly rays - See more at: http://allpoetry.com/poem/11831011-Iona-Graylings-Vapor-Prophet-by-Cambion#sthash.wEJyVIjT.dpuf

Author's Note

This was a heavy cruiser spaceship in a story I never wrote. Iona Grayling is the fair-haired and velvet-gloved captain whose experience and charisma allow her to stay on top when the Vapor Prophet's patrols encounter danger.

Only just noticed the request! The comparison between woman and ship is very graceful. I love the idea of calling the "hunt with thunder", very powerful imagery. Wow.
