Comments
The boy with the bread
He watched me, helped my hunger
Now he is my love
Great green arena,
the baker and I must run.
Save our lifes we must.
Quaint crackling campfire
Quiet cricket symphony
Unheard over screams
The day to be reaped
I volunteer as tribute
And it's him I see.
A spark in darkness
Wings carry a song of hope
Burning through the snow
The Fire Shines Bright
I Will Fight Untill The End
I Can See The Light.
Katniss: District Twelve
Rise against the Capitol
A worthy tribute.
Gold mockingjay pin
Gleaming with hope and promise
Protect us from harm
My previous comment didn't show up, so please don't disqulify me.
Haiku:
Seneca Crane's beard,
Nothing could be more perfect,
Shaving takes some skill
Is the message in
reality parody
or the Games themselves?
Fight to avenge Rue,
Fight for safety of freedom,
Fight to protect Prim.
Anything for Prim
I will prevail for you
Set my heart ablaze
Cinna is the most normal
He reminds me of Tim Gunn
Make it work, Katniss
I am like the sun,
not pretty, not beautiful,
I am Radiant.
Outside district twelve,
Fire burns within her soul,
Home of Mockingjay.
With my Mockingjay,
I will give them a good show;
doing it for Prim.
Fire is burning
Now is the time to rise up
You will burn with us
Blood rushing through eyes
Scares and scrapes all over face
One more breath and faint
In my greatest dream
Those blue eyes could keep me safe
from the world today
The reaping has come
I must take my sister's place
I'll fight to return
Star-Crossed Lovers
We are sitting in a cave
I want him to be okay
Why does he help me
I do not know who he is
True love is surreal
By my shining light,
Death is gentle on this night,
Blaze your heart and fight.
We cannot both win
So my debt I will repay
Forgive me, Peeta
Your escape. My doom.
I didn't want this.
Why did you leave me?
