Anica106: Hi everyone...this is a poem about Koenma. Has anyone else noticed that he seems really fatalistic sometimes? Like, sometimes he just kind of gives up and lets whatever will happen, happen? I thought that was kind of strange, since he's the leader of Reikai (almost, anyway). So I wrote a poem about it. The first part is my thoughts about him and the second part is Koenma's reply. I actually wrote it for an assignment in creative writing class--
SkyFireDragon13: Dork.
Anica: Um, right, let me introduce everyone to my best friend SkyFireDragon. She really supports me and I'm always grateful for her encouragem--
SFD [reads poem]: You actually expect people to read this??
Anica: Don't you have like an essay to write for English?
SFD ^.^; : No way! i can't leave now! i'm ur inspiration!
Anica: -_-: Anyway, I hope everyone likes this.
SFD: [from kitchen]: Are these Oreos?
Anica: Ack! No!
What will be
Cool and calm and blank and sure
The one to whom all worlds defer
Yet he submits without a fight
And yields to the approaching night.
Strange, that he who mans the Gate
Should leave his own life up to Fate--
The secrets of the world lie bare
To one who cannot seem to care.
But merely watches, quietly,
The souls march toward eternity.
Koenma's response:
It's true, I guess, that I am quick
To let things go, and politic,
And I suppose (or I've been told)
That I seem heartless, cruel and cold.
That my domain should master me
Must seem to others fallacy;
Truth is, there is a weariness
In watching all these souls progress.
Control denied brings me not grief,
But rather an immense relief--
To give away, for just an hour,
The Fate o'er which I have such power
And watch unseen while onward rolls
The hushed procession of the souls.
Anica: So...was it OK? Review and tell me! ^_^
SFD [Is hiding under the desk so she won't get burned by the flames]: i hope u don't expect me to take u to the hospital when ur computer blows fire at u.
Anica: If you don't start helping me out I'm not going to let you have any cookies. OR cheese.
SFD: O.O For the love of all that is holy, review her poem.
Anica: ^_^ Better.
