Points of View

by sakemori

A collection of poems told from the points of view of the Scouting Legion soldiers. Will take prompts. Also on AO3 and Deviantart. Rating for some of the graphics in some poems, not the same for every poem. Marked complete but will be adding additional poems sporadically.

1. Scout's Honor

A poem for AoT...

Summary: A dying scout is told something to help them pass on peacefully.

Warning(s): mentions of blood and death

Rating(s): T for obvious reasons

Steam rises
Rain falls
And blood shall soak the Earth in red

Billowing capes
Whispered encouragement
It is a Soldier's duty to fight in battle

Horrified screams
Crunching bones
It will not be a meaningless death

Titan's roar
Shining blades
This war will end in Humanity's victory

I give you my Scout's Honor, Cadet.

Thank IShipAlmostAnythingYaoi for inspiring me to write this poem with a bit of made-up poetry of her own in a conversation on deviantart. This poem could be told from the POV of anyone, not just our favorite Captain, though he'd be an obvious choice.
