Sense Sonnet - Acher

Joan

Joan of Arc, a French teenager,
Grew up in constant war between
France and England. Joan had major
Divine word at age 17,
To drive the English from her land.
French forces followed her brave lead,
And she brought victory to hand,
Inspiring all of France by deed.
While Joan retained her piety,
Her enemies called her a fake.
And, she was charged with heresy,
Found guilty and burned at the stake.

Condemned a sinner by complaint.
500 years later - a saint.
