I am just the spark
Now the Fire has started
Panem is aflame
First there was fire.
Tracker jackers and Careers.
The mutts were the worst.
We are still alive,
Peeta and I. Still to do:
Kill President Snow.
The hunger games are
A battle to the death - ugh!
I hate the reaping!
District thirteen is
Waiting for Katniss and her
Mockingjay of hope.
Games of Life and Death
One World with Twelve Districts
Who Will You Cheer For?
Katniss Everdeen
"The rebel", i should not be
Everyone's Mockingjay
The Reaping backfires
with Katniss volunteering.
Panem will Rue the day.
Lamb stew, apricots
Delicious Capitol fair
Almost to die for.
The Mockingjay Lives
My life for an Innocent
Death is but a dream
Spirit flies through trees
Life taken to entertain
My fight is for Rue
Ack, can't count! It is Friday...
The Reaping backfires
with Katniss volunteering.
Snow will Rue the day.
bow, arrow in hand
odds in my favor, they say
but I'm still shaking
Its now or never
I said I would do my best
This is for Prim's sake
A poor district's bread
with nightlock makes a real feast:
Snow must rue the day.
Chosen for the games.
Saved the world and saved the boy.
Real or not real? Real.
with a heartache's spurn,
ignites a fire on my loins,
power my desire burns.
(katniss's POV)
Cornucopia
Twisted battlefield of fate
Run, Girl on Fire, Run
Katniss, hands cupped with
fatal berries, sets ablaze
Panem’s rebellion.
There once lived a boy named Harry
Who, though skinny, was extraordinary,
Though magic he learned
For a ginger he yearned
They said he would bring balance to the Force.
The love of my life
Is a sonofa baker
no use in the games
The sight of my face
ignites rebels' obsessions.
Panem, you will burn.
Primrose Everdeen
Watching her sister from home
Waiting a return
Hunger Games I Play
Never Again to Return
Or So I Thought Then
kill snow
save peeta
free panem
