Yay! I wrote another poem! -grins- It's pretty long too... o.o I must be going insane. Either that, or I have too much time on my hands. Not yay: for some reason, the stuffs went insane when I uploaded it. Ah well. (I'm talking about typos and stuffs in the AN section) It's alright. x3
Hmm... This poem is basically about... well, you'll see for yourself. It made me a little sad while writing it, but you can never be all that gloomy when you have a paper ball fight in English right after. Right? ... riiiigght?
-cricket chirps-
Uhh...hehehe. Hmm, in news about me: I've gotten a new book! Yey! ... you don't care do you? Well, okay then. I don't care about you either! ... no! Don't leave! I was kidding!
Before we get to the poem, here are the reviewer responses:

Duh123 : I didn't know you had a fanfiction account. o-o I have to be more careful now when I update stories. -gulps- Thanks for the review! xD
Ginger Guardian Angel : Hi! And, I seriously didn't take two months. Took... a day (or two) after I wrote it to update. Great accomplishment, dontcha think? x3 -hugs- Thanks!
lopchop : Thank you! I hope you like this poem. It's a little... different. ;P
and...
SeleneOfTheMoon : Thank you as well! And, I bet you wouldn't stink at poems if you wrote one and shared it often! It's getting comments (or reviews... XD) that keep you going and... stuffs. Hehehe... And, poems don't need to rhyme. I usually don't make them rhyme, but at times I'm compelled. Rhyming poems sound a bit... well, just somewhat childish to me. :-/ (not all the time, just... they don't strike me as completely serious)I hope you like this poem!

If you dun like this poem... then... I dunno. o-O Maybe you should go read another poem? xD
And now, as my cat jumps up on my lap, a disclaimer!
I don't own Avatar. I don't really want to either. I'd be even more doomed then. o.o
Now, onto the poem! (remember to review!)


Requiem for a King

You gloat on what you're not,
and pine for what you don't have.
You taunt, steam, and shout.
And all it does is make you more difficult.
You don't care for others.
You snuffed a thriving flame.

A war your fathers started:
the comet that it began with.
Both are coming back... back to you.
With them you crush your enemies,
with them you crush yourself.
You stilled a blowing wind.

The boy you capture.
You keep him like a caged tiger,
he nearly starves to death.
He stares at your sadly,
masking his intent.
You dried a tranquil lake.

And now he stands before you,
supported by 'your world.'
The flame you killed behind him,
the scar you set upon his face.
"Goodbye," he says, fire resting on his hand.
You tremble mountains with your passing.

Celebration cheers your death,
but there are those still angry and sad.
Songs they may have written about your reign.
They've been burned in a cleansing flame.
And the life no one knew,
now leads a broken nation.
The flame now lives again.

He starts a new effort.
A new attempt to gain peace:
it's actually going quite well.
The boy visits frequently,
his smile no well known.
The stilled wind now blows.

A girl and her brother rebuild their old home.
She misses the boy, that she has come to know.
Her brother fares better,
father now returned.
He would never admit it, but he misses him as well.
The emptied lake now fills.

I close my eyes,
the great dragon I once was.
No more am I needed,
but my life had meaning. Much like yours.
I'm remembered by the fire that consumed you.
That lives with me.

The trembling mountains now rest.

By the way, be sure to read my first fanfiction: "Bound by Actions"! And review! Reviews will make me write faster. I swear it!
