Grey eyes sharply gazing
Into the darkness
Of nothingness
Fiercely gazing on her foe
Raising her shield
Her eyes veiled
Eowyn, Eomund’s daughter
Released from secrecy
Golden her hair blows freely
Lifting her sword unsheathed
Letting it fall swiftly
On the fell beast
Slaying the evil creature
It lies
Never to rise
Up from the ruin of his steed
The Nazgul faces her
Raising his mace upward
Swinging it round
Into her shield
Shattering it far a field
She falls to her knees
The Nazgul rises
And looks on her with malice
Raising his mace
Once more
He stumbles forward
With sharp pain
Behind his knee
He screams
Merry the Hobbit
Esquire of Rohan
Dealt the blow
Lifting her sword
Once more aloft
Drives it beneath his crown
The Nazgul falls
A shrieking cry
Arises and dies
Black and empty
His mantle is shapeless
Slain the Nazgul lays

I like this a lot, Elizabeth! Eowyn is so cool and you did a good job capturing the scene in verse.
