I R POET!

[Belgarath]

I had to write a poem "praising" a character from the novel we are reading in English class right now... I actually thought it was pretty good.

This man,
Son of a woman of stone
Who stands steadfast
In a broken home

Pacifist at heart
Stuck between two opposing walls
Torn inside
But refusing to fall

He went away to a foreign land
When he was just a boy, risking his life
Returned home alive
Surviving the strife

This strong young man
Who then left home,
To make a name for himself,
All alone

This pacifist
Who, should all else fail,
Will resist a fight
And let cooler heads prevail

This selfless man
Who will not say
What his heart speaks,
Lest conflict ruin the day

So to this man we say
Continue resisting the fight
With all your heart
With all your might

Even though I couldn't agree less with pacifism, I can still see that that's a pretty good poem.
