Before We Begin

by Jou Veres

The Game itself has not yet begun, but everyone already has something to say about the tributes from District 12. Poetry drabbles.

4. Clove

I told Cato

We had

Nothing

to worry about.

District 12 is never a

Threat

To true competitors

Like us

So she won't eat

Something poisonous

And he can wrestle.

I could take them both

At once

With my bare hands.

So how the hell

Did he pull an 8?

And she

Score the impossible

11?

What could she have done

That was better

Than anything

Ever shown before?

Better than me?

She has killed herself

With her score.

We still have

Nothing

To worry about.

They do.
