The Girl from the Mystic Moon
Could it all just simply be a dream,
Or were things no different than they seemed?
Stranded on Gaea, a strange new world,
Hitomi's thought's positively swirled.
Her planet hung within the sky,
But she saw much more than met the eye.
A wave of destruction from an invisible hand,
That completely destroyed a helpless land.
Though told her companion was a prince,
She remained quite thoroughly unconvinced,
Until a cat-girl, right on cue,
Through a window made her debut.
After a "courteous" warning, she left,
But not until she had made one theft.
The girl chased the creature down the hall
To recover the pendant that started it all.
But she skidded suddenly to a halt,
Though her balance was not at fault.
She watched the boy and his sensei spar.
In skill, they were clearly not on par.
Yet the battle-scared sensei was kind,
And answered the question foremost in her mind.
To the Mystic Moon they would return her, aye.
The samurai of Fanelia never lie.
But this happy future was never to come.
An invisible army attacked the kingdom.
Lo! As Hitomi's vision foretold,
The king's land was lost, his reign a day old.
They rushed to the shrine and desperately prayed,
And awaked the dragon, Escaflowne.
The king then fought bravely against the attack,
But forgot, in his haste, to watch his own back.
Thus Balgus died a true hero's death,
And bid them to flee with his dying breath.
Yet still they stood staring, blinded by fright,
Until they were swallowed by a blue beam of light.

~*^_^*~: This time I wrote it without following one of your crummy outlines!
/'^_^'\: Point?
~*^_^*~: Can't you see how much better it sounds? And it's longer, too! By an entire stanza and about fifty words!
/'^_^'\: I fail to see your point.
~*^_^*~: The point is I can write better poems than you!
/'^_^'\: And this "sudden" burst of wisdom came . . . when?
~*^_^*~: About three years ago, I think, but I've been saving it for something special.
/'^_^'\: Good grief. I already admitted last time that I'm not a poet. What do you want now?
~*^_^*~: I want you to work on your parody and make me sound less dumb in the opening!
/'^_^'\: Moi? *Work* on my parody? My dear sister, haven't you learned by now that you shouldn't make such dangerous comments unless you desire humiliation?
~*^_^*~: Humiliation such as . . . ?
/'^_^'\: Such as having a couple more of your "witty" comments posted?
~*^_^*~: No! Not again, please! You said you wouldn't! Come on, my friends, family, and associates are already convinced I'm insane! Don't take away my dignity! Noooooooooooo!
/'^_^'\: Ahh . . . Knowledge is power. Power corrupts. Study hard. Be evil.
