A poem I wrote for Creative Writing class

Pokémon

To catch them all is not an easy feat,
And Gym Leaders are difficult to beat.
You train until you cannot train them more,
And then you have to face the Elite Four.
Yet even after that you are not through.
You have a lot of catching left to do.
Back in my day, there were one-fity-one,
But now the number stretches to the sun.
If you’ve been here as long as me, you find
They add new Pokémon in all the time.

When training, there are many schools of thought
Dealing with how your battles should be fought.
Some train them all, some only just their first,
But I can say the latter one is worst.
Because, to have a strong one win the day
And fill your party up with HM slaves
Will leave you in a fix if he should faint.
The others try to do the things they can’t
But soon the match is over anyway.
That’s why I always train mine the first way.

When I was 7. I always watch the anime every sunday morn. At that time, Ash was still in the region of Johto along with Miksy and Brock. I think that's why I like the second generation. But anyway, I am not Interested in poem and such. So, i can't give any comments. Sorry...

It's all good mate, I know poems aren't for everybody. I just had to write one for class and figured since I wrote it about Pokemon I would post it here.

I never knew I was part of the anime too !
Then again, I only watched the first season and randomly only a few episodes of the others.

About the poem though, I think it's fantastic, made me laugh a couple of times :DDD

this is good but you need to remember that rhyming is not important in a poem and can seem childish. have you watched the music video of pokemon what happened to you by Alex day

rhyming was part of the assignment. Also, in my opinion of poetry rhyming is important. I'm not a fan of "modern" poetry where nothing rhymes and there is no real rhythm or anything. EDIT: I think part of this comes from the fact that I'm more of a song writer/parodist than a poet when given the choice. Oh well.

EDIT: Sorry got distracted by the rhyme and missed the last part of your statement. Nope, I haven't seen the video, should probably check that out.

Sorry, I mean she is Misty, the water pokemon queen, not Miksy. I'm confused between 2.

I think too that rhytming is important; if you want to make a funny poem, it won't turn out like that unless you use rhytming.

Indeed! And of course, none of my poems are an attempt to be especially serious. Funny is what I aim for.

ahh i can't do funny and i know it so i stick to pain and hurting but only because the more positive emotions seem so cliche now but i must say i generally am quite emo-ish but i do like rhyming in the right places and internal rhyme or half-rhyme is always good.
