*~*~*~*~This poem is the eight poem I've uploaded in ffnet though it's the first, which apparently has nuthin to do with luv at all. It's dedicated to all Rukawa fans out there but originally made as a tribute for Alex'z Death Chic (aka Margaret), a friend of mine who is completely drooling (well... I should say almost! Hehe!) over Rukawa from Slam Dunk. I want to thank her (do I really want to? joke!) for reviewing almost all of my works up until now. Hope you enjoy!~*~*~*~*

= = Disclaimer: I do not own Slam Dunk! And to all the fans of other Slam Dunk characters, plz don't get mad coz as I stated, this is a form of tribute for a friend and other people who think of Rukawa as the best. Thanks for understanding!

Rukawa is the Best

There are so many players

who play basketball so well

and there is this one player

whose name I always tell.

He's an excellent player

but most often in school, he's late.

Despite this, he can't be ignored

because he's Rukawa the great.

He's good at this prefecture

he's handsome and he's famous

and though he's always quiet

he seriously hates to lose.

Many know of his fame.

Kaede Rukawa's his name.

Many knows of his tall height

and amazed by his playing might.

He even has his own club

of noisy cheerleaders, I should say.

He hardly ever minds them

as they follow him everyday.

Though he's just a rookie

he's impressed a lot with his plays.

People know of his success

since his junior highschool days.

Rukawa is a wondrous player

though his hobby is merely sleeping.

With his quick moves and his talent

to Sakuragi, he's annoying.

Now you know the reason

to why Rukawa is the best.

Many others have challenged him

and he put them all to the test.

*~*~*~*~Hey, Marga! Are you happy now? I made sumthin for you! But don't worry Gazing Dreams! I promise yours will come next! And also the other guy (I'm S0o0 sorry I keep forgettin your pen name) who reviewed my poems, thanx a bunch! (I'm really wondering what kind of poem I' gonna make for ya...) I decided since not a lot of people are reviewing most of my stuff in ffnet as of now, then I should give recognition to those who constantly did and still do! And this is my way of doing so therefore I really hope you guyz liked it!~*~*~*~*
