A/N: I'm so sorry! I was sick for a while and totally forgot I hadn't been updating things. My memory gets weird when I'm sick…
Written for the 100_poems challenge on livejournal, poem 50/100 and day 23. In order again. :) And halfway through as well. Or was when I wrote the poem. I finished the challenge a while ago.
Character Poems: the Chosen through Time
12. Ichijouji Ken
He might've been too soft
but it would've been nice
to be a plush-toy instead
But he was the one who clung
to things: cuddled them,
loathing to let go…
If he held them too long they changed
their cuddly shape; went hard
and he was moulded too
But there was a little part
which he should hung to tight
but he let it go, lost it…forgot
what he should never have left behind
Though good it did, in the end
because the old well-worn toys
couldn't change their shape so well.
Change was a good thing,
but not so often.
