I've been reading some Shakespeare and, well...this happened. This is kind of like my poem to Roosterteeth about Ruby. Enjoy!

'Tis the last red flower a'blooming
Within a sea of weeds, green and sickly
Blossoming in the face of death looming
Breaking free of the weeds binding thickly
...
I cherish thee, precious little flower
Tend to the field with brambled faces
Dazzle us with your stubborn power
O' Death, leave this little flower in place
...
But wilted leaves, grim of the Reaper's scythe
How dastardly the cold frost coats the land
Winter cuts through the flower like a knife
The small flower scatters within my hand
...
O' Death, my precious flower has wilted
How villainous a wind rips its petals away
The growth of its beauty is stilted
Wishing for a chance to turn the grim day
...
Let thy armored ice crack and shatter
Much like mirrors on a luck filled day
Let thy brilliant sun melt the crumbly frost
Radiant beauty burning brighter as it may
...
Let thy darkened petals be birthed into brightness
Similar shadows torn and brought to the sun's rays
Let thy rose turn not to pungent blood
For red like roses should it stay
...
O' Death, keep thy wretched Reaper leashed
For a young flower taken leaves nothing to gain
O' Death, shield her from your cruelty
Let our Red Flower rise again
...

And there we go! Blake's almost done, and so are Mercury's poems! I want to work on a "To Torchwick, From Ruby" as well. I've got a lot of characters to do now, so I have my work cut out for me!
