Captain, My Captain

This poetry collection is focused around the captains of the Gotei... the ones introduced at the beginning of the series. (Created for the Bleach: Diversity Writing)

Disclaimer – I don't own Bleach. This is for the Bleach: Diversity Writing challenge c.3. This challenge is a poetry collection that is between 1000 to 1500 words with a central theme. The theme I picked for this is the captains of the Gotei Thirteen.

Yamamotto

The burning fire has a passion
The flames in the eyes watches
The burning resilience of youth
Watching them live and them die
Many years the eyes see passed
Echoing the sorrowful memories
Asking why the beautiful flames die
Never shall the demon walk again
Taking comfort in the warm hearts
New generation means new fuel
To allow the fire to continue burning
How much longer though will it be
That this fire will continue burning
How many more generations pass
Before this old one does in die away
