A/N: This is dedicated to Kenzie, a.k.a. ClickHereForRandomness XD (formerly Kenzie . Daughter . of . Hermes). She sent me a PM a while back that was, in all honesty, the sweetest thing I'd ever read. Thank you for being my "biggest fan"! I promised her a fic (because that was the only way I could ever repay her) - but then I lost all inspiration for PJO after that. But after reading The Son of Neptune, I got mad at Rick Riordan (oh my gosh, the cliffhanger!) and wrote this poem. Freeverse. I can't rhyme to save my life.
Anyway, Kenzie, I hope you like this, and I also hope you actually see this - I haven't seen you on FF in a while. Thank you for the sweetest PM ever, thank you for your encouragement, thank you for your reviews...just - thank you, so much! :)
Everyone else, please drop a review when you're done!
