This was originally posted to my old DA account around 2011. It started out as an assignment for my writing class while I was still in college and, while I'm really not much of a poetry-writing person, I actually kind of like this one - if only a little. I was pretty good at sneaking fandom into my classwork once upon a time...

Swish and swirl
Ink and pen
Hands at the ready
Open end
Twist the cap
Tip to palm
Flickering symbols
Moving on
Fire and Earth
Hair and Skin
Back to Back we'll face the wind
Partners, we
Like Quick and Slow
RedLight-GreenLight, StopLight-Go!
Tick and tock
Clockwork chime
Just close enough to
Make a rhyme
Hammer, rune
Loyal, true
Stapled together
Glowing hue
Flame and Dust
Hands and Eyes
Back to Back with heads held high
Black and White
Against the flow
RedLight-GreenLight, StopLight-Go!
Criss and Cross
Stitch and twine
A touch of magic
Out of time
Paper birds
Needle, thread
Memories whither
Ten years dead
Night and Blaze
Dark and Light
Back to Back we stand and fight
Brothers now
With lives aglow
RedLight-GreenLight, StopLight-Go!
Smile and Grin
Guard and Guide
Back to Back and Side by Side
We, a pair
Are Heart and Soul
Like Red and Green and Stop…
and GO!
