This is Snake's poem, which has been requested. It is longer than 'Joker's Mask', probably because Snake is my favourite character in Kuroshitsuji. I mean, he's just... imperfectly perfect! *Swoons*
Sweet, shy snake of slick scales and soft, stuttering sounds
Hisses to his slithering friends who will act as advisors
Snake's companions provide him with what to say
In return, he names them after linguistic, literary legends
Serpents with unique personalities
Childlike Dan, Flirty Emily, and Oscar the Naive
There's Wilde- calm, cool and collected
But there are so many more, only Snake
Takes the time to hear their insistent hisses
Snake of cornsilk hair and haphazard scales
Tell-tale cheeks that glow pink oh so easy
As of yet Snake, awkwardly stuck in a butler's attire
Several serpents slide under his clothes no more
And rest in by the fireplace and in the greenhouse instead
In the circus they performed a magical dance
But now they serve
As a butler for their grim Young Master, Smile
But before the circus was a life in a cage
Their days from jeers and abuse to 'ooh's and 'ahh's to 'Clean this up at once!'
They were in a Freak Show, sold by Snake's own mother
Yes it hurt, but he remains kind and caring
They said one such as him was ugly and scary, the child of Lucifer himself
How could they overlook such as him
The exquisite, exotic beauty he holds, only heightened by sweet innocence
Can they not realize that his abilities
Are just that, abilities?
Or shall they forever see his assets as flaws?
But that is the curse of man, to be afeared of the unexplained and unusual
There ya go! A Snake poem! But I don't think I did very good. *My Sister* Well of course it isn't very good, you're the one who wrote it. *Me* Bu-but... *In the emo corner*
