Hello anyone who decided to check this out! This is a poem I wrote for my English class a while ago about the death of poor little Rue. Please read it, knowing that this is my first upload.
Disclaimer: I never said I was a good poet. I may be good at rhyming, but that's not the point.
…Real Disclaimer: I don't own Hunger Games or its characters. If I did, I would never have cast those actors for the movie.
Enjoy!
Rue, of District 11
Youngest tribute of two dozen
Her keen ears pick up everything
The players shout, the wasps are buzzing
The mockingjays– her song they sing
Her eyes, like orchards of her toil
See all that is in light and murk
Her clever eyes of a deep, rich soil
Light forest shadows where she lurks
Her wispy frame is like a cloud
You'd knock her over when you breathe
But her warning song she trills out loud
To show friend and foe what's beneath
Bird-like was the little girl
As she leapt from tree to tree
With her slingshot, the stones she'd hurl
As far as her dark eyes could see
Her body was small but her heart was whole
And her trust was so complete
Her ally was the Maiden of Coal
Who would never bow down in defeat
Coal girl had their survival planned
For a short time, they parted
The ally hurt their enemies and
The Bird got a fire started
A hidden hunter followed her
The Bird girl he would kill
The spear he threw was swift and sure
As it struck, her scream was shrill
The Coal Maiden came running
And let out an angry roar
The bloody scene was stunning
A spear through the Bird girl's core
Fury fills her head to toe
As she avenges her dying friend
She shoots an arrow at their foe
The hunter's life did end
Coal Maiden cradled the girl in her arms
And wiped off the twelve-year-old's tears
Then said she would meet no more harm
And sang away all of her fears
The goodbye song at last is heard
Wildflowers frame her face
Be gone, be free, my little bird
Fly away from this deadly place
