So for the past, I dunno, three years I've been obsessed with the show Gravity Falls. It's a great show and I'd absolutely recommend it to anyone who loves a good mystery, several feels, and overall good humor. With the show ending in two more episodes, I'd decided to post this poem. It's called a pantoum, which has a total of eight different lines that repeat in the pattern (1 2 3 4, 2 5 4 6, 5 7 6 8, 7 3 8 1) and a rhyme scheme of (a b a b, b c b c, c d c d, d a d a). The point of the poem is for it to make sense with the interchanging lines.
For this poem, I decided to focus on the relationship of Stan and Ford as seen in the Gravity Falls episode, 'A Tale of Two Stans'. The relationship between the two twins is actually really depressing. I love Stan and Ford, but they really just need to hug it out!
Anyway, enough rambling. Enjoy!
Brother, Oh, Brother
Our lives used to be full of laughter and fun.
I had the muscle, while you had the smart.
You were my twin brother, my only one.
No matter what, you always followed your heart.
I had the muscle, while you had the smart.
We were complete opposites, from tall to small.
No matter what, you always followed your heart.
I regret that our fight turned into a squall.
We were complete opposites, from tall to small.
I want my brother back; at least let me try!
I regret that our fight turned into a squall.
Other times, I wonder how it happened—why?
I want my brother back; at least let me try!
You were my twin brother, my only one.
Other times, I wonder how it happened—why?
Our lives used to be full of laughter and fun.
