My second-ever poem. This one is from Gaara's point of view (a first for me) concerning how he feels about Chiyo's sacrifice to bring him back to life. In my opinion, I feel most glad for what she did in the end, but extremely saddened that it had to come at such a high price (especially since she is such a great character).
This poem came to me last night at around 2 in the morning, so if it's no good, I have an excuse. chuckle (well, that and the fact that poetry is hardly my forte)
Thank You, Chiyo-baasan
Warnings: Angst, Mild spoilers… I guess that's all
Pairings: None (sorry)
Disclaimer: Honestly, if I owned even a quarter of Naruto, I'd be the wealthiest girl in Gozo! Instead, I am super-broke, so it's very much obvious I own nothing and am making absolutely no money out of this. I am writing purely for the enjoyment of writing and to share it with others. Now, be off with you, copyright people! (heh, sorry about that last one)
Well, if I did own Naruto I'd make a most important change: I'd make sure that Gaara got much more screen-time in Shippuden (as in CONSCIOUS! I can't be the only one unhappy about this!) and that his reappearance wouldn't be 200+ episodes later! I mean, sheesh!
Alrighty then, let's get this show on the road!
Read, my pretties! Read! (I guess I'm showing I didn't sleep all that much, and the coffee has yet to kick in…)

My truest wish is…
to thank you in person.
My deepest remorse is…
that I never can.
With your bravery, your courage, your sacrifice…
you gave your life to restore mine.
With your love, your priceless gift…
you reunited me with my family;
My beloved brother, Kankurou.
My precious sister, Temari.
So many tears I have cried…
for I can never truly thank you…
You gave me new life…
I shall treasure it forever…
Somehow, if you can hear my prayers…
Please know…
From my heart,
Thank you, Chiyo-baasan.

Finis!
Aw, now! Don't you just wanna give him a giant, comforting hug? I know I do.
I myself sometimes try to picture how Gaara feels with Chiyo's very selfless sacrifice to bring him back even at the cost of her life. Since he's actually (I dunno how hardly anyone seems to notice this) quite a sensitive person, I'm sure he'd have some saddened feelings for Chiyo's passing. (after she'd pulled that prank of hers twice - faking death, I wished so much she'd suddenly wake up and do that cute wink of hers… alas…)
Do let me know how I did on my second attempt at writing a poem. I hope my sleep-deprived brain didn't concoct something TOO awful…
Also, I know this is quite a short poem, but I wrote every single word from the heart.
One last note; I HAD to mention Kankurou and Temari in the poem. They're such good siblings to him, how in the world could I not mention them? Kankurou is an amazing brother (though maybe he needs to be a little less hot-headed, as that coupled with his major over-protectiveness towards Gaara nearly got him killed) and you could see that Temari was most pained that something awful was happening to her baby brother, and she could do nothing.
So, three huge cheers to these most wonderful brother and sister!
