Between Two Camps

Between two camps,

Between two cultures,

Stand differences

Setting them apart

Like the ocean then

And now miles of earth.

Stark and bold

Yet still subtle

At first glance,

The contrast

Has the friction

Among the places

Thrive

As old hostility

Is once again alive.

The same general name,

Demigod,

Applies to all

Descendants of the gods.

But the variety in

The aspects of

Each nation's customs

As well as their deities

Have always distinguished

The Greeks from the Romans.

These dissimilar characteristics

Have always caused

Sparks of tension.

But now,

It begins again.

Of the Greeks with their arts

And of disciplined Romans,

What is reborn is not

Just a rivalry

But an ancient feud.


A/N: Finally, it is done… I'm so happy that I actually done something with this account! The first time I read fanfiction was in the PJatO fandom. So I made my first fic to honor that. Originally I had something else planned, but that wasn't really working out and I didn't have much time so I decided to do some poetry instead. Free-verse style! I hope you guys enjoyed. If it's not too much trouble, please review.
