I have decided to do this as a side project to Whispers. This will now become a collection of poems in Kenshin or Kaoru's POV. Just request anything you'd like to see them ponder on. Hope you enjoy!

RK: Kyoufuu no Idou (Strong Wind of Change)

By DJ Baka-chan

My First Sword

The first time I picked up a sword,

Was in the spring of 1850

And it was clean with no stain

No taint of the carnage it would cause

I barely knew what the weapon was used for then

I had only witnessed its butchery once

Little did I know the death my practice would cause

The thousands that would die

This blade of evil's bane, my sakabatou,

Is the only way,

To redeem,

My first sword

Shorter than Our Future! This was inspired by a school assignment. I wanted to do this as my poem but I've never held a katana in my life so I decided to turn Our Future into a poem collection. I've written many a poem indirectly related or inspired by RK. One of my best ones was actually inspired by the series! Now, go read Whispers chapter 8 and review this!
