Me And My Poetry!
This poem is MINE. I wrote it. It's MINE. If anyone steals it you will find yourself dead. (: No not really...I'm not that kind of person! I'm just too nice! sarcassssssssm is fun
But really. Please don't steal my work. I put a lot of time into this and I'm proud of it, and I don't want it plagerized. And all critiques are appreciated!
Chapter 1
Sooooooo...yeah. Look down.
My teacher assigned this poetry portfolio where we had to write a bunch of poems. I was all "yeah poetry writing...awesome!" Because I'm okay at it, I think. One of the topics was "Character Poem" where we had to write a poem from a character's point of view. It's a freestyle poem, which doesn't have to rhyme, but to make it flow, I matched the last lines (kind of) and the syllables of the stanzas.
I chose the red-headed avox girl--I can never remember her name. If you know it you can comment with it and be all superior because I don't. (;
It's her...
I know it; it's her--
The girl
The girl from the forest.
From the time before.
I see her expression
and I can see
she knows me, too.
Her gaze...
it's familiar--
I will
never forget it.
Recogition sparks.
"I know you!" she wihspers.
Yes, darling girl, and
I know you too.
The crazy drunk
and the pink-haired menace
They both reprimand
her, of course.
It's obvious to me because
even I can see they're appalled.
But I expected that--
I know her and I know them, too.
The strong blond boy
The other sacrifice
He chimes in to help
her, of course.
It's obvious to me because
only I can see he loves her.
I now appear like a
stranger--that girl won't know me, too.
I am dismissed.
And now I ponder things
of the time before,
when she saw me
and didn't
do
a single
thing.
Her and the boy,
eyes in the undergrowth,
watching him die
and didn't
do
a single
thing.
But I know, I know
it is my blame to take and
it's not
her fault that
I'm voiceless, silent,
my thoughts ever my own;
kept inside--
and I hope she knows it, too.
But the Games, the Games
will begin and I'll watch them
with my
fingers crossed;
I will knock on wood.
The world will be watching;
So will I--
And I hope she knows it, too.
So...it's not my best work, but if you like it, I can post more poems that are better than this! Make sure to tell me--HONESTLY, don't hold back, I won't be offended--what you think!
