A/N: this is a series of poems I have written about the hunger games, just ideas. If you think they are any good, let me know. Constructive criticism is always welcome. Oh, and I'm not one of those people who's gonna beg for reviews. If you feel like taking the time to press the link-y thingy, then feel free. I'm certainly not complaining.

If I call your name

be prepared to die

once you're in the arena

you should've said goodbye

23 others

fight for the crown

to win, and survive,

you must take them all down.

(Effie's POV)

+O+

"Twice"

Twice the tributes

Twice the idiocy

The death toll twice as high

Twice the dangers

Twice the risk

Why did HE not die?

(Haymitch, 50th Hunger Games)

+O+

She is burning,

rising up,

from the ashes

he left behind

He is dying, slowly dying

dying in her eyes

She wishes the greatest misery

upon his wasted form

he will never understand

how this bird was born

(Katniss and Prezzi Snow :P)

+O+

You don't have to grow up tomorrow

You've got a little time

Don't worry too much about what might happen

Just stay here, and be Mine.

I love you

And I know that you're scared

I hope you

Work you way, just through today

Tomorrow will be better

Promise me

You'll wake up

And stay

Remember,

I'll aqlways think you are

Beautiful

Even when your heart sinks

You are

Wonderful

You may say

"But Peeta, I'm afraid,"

But I'll be here with you

Every single day

100 miles or more

Will not keep me

Away

I will always defend you

I will always love you

I will always be yours

And you will be mine

Every. Single. Day.

Please, stay.

(A/N: I originally wrote this for fathers day, but I haven't had the guts to give it to my dad. Can y'all tell me what you think? Give me some pointers? I want it to be at it's best point when I give it to him...)

Real A/N: Thanks for reading! I'll probably make more of these, so even if you're not reading, I'll be writing! See (more correctly, wite at) you soon!
