Rustus's poetry

I Thought it best to share some poems that I've written, because that is my main hobby, besides dueling of course.

This one got me the Poetry.com Editor's Choice Award, I've posted it everywhere, it's called: Be Careful What You Wish For"

Be careful what you wish for

For it may come true

True in a terrible way

A way that will hurt you

I wished my stepmom out of my life

but what I didn't see

Is that in doing so, I wished off my friends too

'Tis really hurting me

Like a Tremendous Fire

It burns my soul away

It hurts so deep to me

So to you I must say

Be Careful what you wish for

'Twill hurt so painfully

Never do it, nevermore

Or you'll end up like me...

Here's another one i wrote a few days ago, I call it "Duelists"

We play our game

You play yours

Stop berating us for our choice

We're the same at our cores!

So why do you bug us?

Why do you want to fight?

We don't bug you for your games, do we?

Why can't you see the light?

If you think we're stupid, that's it

That's just your opinion, you see

That's your entitlement, i guess

Here in the land of the free

So why do you mess with us?

Why are we on your hitlist?

Just leave us alone!

We're the Ansonia Duelists!

(FYI: The people at the table next to me and the group of card players sit at at lunch make fun of us. I wrote this to stop them, I think I'll tell them this today, I'll update and tell you how it goes!"

 This is Joan, my father's card. Ironic that he would give me a card like this right before he dies. So I wrote a poem about that, too.

Joan, the Angel (a haiku)

Guardian Angel

You have protected me well

You now have my thanks.

I'll continue to update this,so I'll be waiting for comments.
