This is a poem told from the perspective of Vetch (Kiron) from Mercedes Lackey's book Joust. I wrote this for school (the prompt was to write an "I come from…" poem from the perspective of a character in an independent reading book we had read. I had just finished this book when I wrote it (I actually wrote it a while ago), and decided to do this. I typed it up a couple days ago when we had to compile a set of three final copies of poems/paragraphs. Explaining it all would take to long so I won't. Please tell me what you think of this. This is my first song/poem fic so I am not sure about it. My mom really liked it, but she hasn't read the book. And now I am rambling, so I will stop now.
Fire of the Dawn
I come from:
Desert storms,
Sand and Wind,
And little rain.
Separated from my family,
Forced to be a serf:
To my enemies.
No choices-
No life.
I come from:
Being carried away-
Flying…
Through the air…
On a dragon!
Being ostracized as the enemy-
But, working hardest of all.
I come from:
Stealing an egg…
Hatching it in secret…
Training her…
Raising her…
Escaping on her back when the time is right:
Avatre-
Fire of the Dawn
My life…
My world…
My Hope.
