Gotta Catch 'Em All

by Rose Tripedality

This is a poem in freeverse depicting the illustions ash battles in his desire to CATCH 'EM ALL!

Within the ball
Within the red and white
The technology
The paint
The label
The fingerprints

Lays nothing but hope

As I clutch this ball staring out into the
Field
Sea
Mountain
Forest
Sky
Tall Grass
Cave
Sewer
Tree
City
Tower
Abandoned mansion
Abandoned electrical house

I stare at what I wish was mine
What should be mine

I close my eyes, pray to no one
And I throw the ball

It bounces off the surface of my dreams and shatters my mind into the harsh reality of the light
I was sleeping. Damnit.

I look over to misty, sleeping like an overgrown weed in her sleeping bag.
Yum.

Pokemon. Gotta. Catch. 'Em. All.
