I didn't want to! ;_; I had to for a school assignment. So I decided to have fun with it and make all my poems Pokémon-based. Fun. XD I figured I may as well post 'em here. Criticism and spelling/grammar would be appreciated since it's kinda due tomorrow (Feb 5). Waiting for the last minute creates a sense of urgency that helps to push you to work! Or some lame excuse like that. Poems 2 and 5 are what I'm most worried about, btw.
I am floating around like a cloud
When I look down, I see some flowers
They start out as green and are quite keen
To be treated to rainfall showers
Up they grow, now red and rather fed
Now they smell like a filled-up trash bin
From there they must take a choice they make
To be puny or gargantuan
Dance, you small flowers, show your powers
Without fault, the large ones show cobalt
Yet their poison reveals them vile
You’re a tsunami
It’s land you fight, you orca
You’re unstoppable
It was only his first day by himself
When he saw the golden phoenix
A rainbow embraced it like its child
And no one believed the witness
Not much longer he saw a small kitten
Airborne with legends it has knit
That kitten couldn’t have a connection
To that mystical bird, could it?
Two towers tell a story of the bird
Who has lost faith in humankind
And now only appears to the strong and
To those with a determined mind
The witness lost his cause; his way was lost
But there was the phoenix to help
By leading him to a destination
In ancient times, a man did yelp
For his country was in dreadful danger
The phoenix surprisingly came
But it wasn’t the phoenix, but the cat
Wearing a guise and a false name
The man and the kitten met at a tree
Where kitten helped him at a cost
His life would surely be dreadfully stopped
Oncoming armies were made frost
They were overcome with a sense of peace
Thanks to the generous kitten,
A wailing tree, and the man’s sacrifice
But was the story miswritten?
Recently, a messenger from the past
Told the witness he was the same
As the sacrificed man from long ago
And then went back from where he came
The witness has had one more phoenix view
At a warm orange-dyed sunset
This time others saw the phoenix fly by
The riddle is not solved just yet
We were taking a vacation of sorts
You were searching for a friend of sorts
We were meeting new friends
You were meeting an old enemy
We were finding new love interests
You were interested in your old love
We were barricaded in the city
You were the one who put up the barrier
We were terrified of you
You were terrified of him
We found our friends taken by you
You seemed to be taking people by the billions
We found the source of your pain
You had no idea who we were
We reunited you with your friend of sorts
You became grateful to us
We saved you
You saved your enemy
He became grateful to you
We left the city and continued with our lives
You were off to start a new life
We had nearly died
Your loneliness had nearly killed you
We are from Earth
You aren’t
There are whispers of a beautiful snake
Of a serpent, kind-hearted and dark blue
Its horn hard as diamond and the same hue
It takes its home in a gigantic lake
Even at birth one is very massive
At least six feet is the length it is hatched
The young are looked after before dispatched
The adults on guard can’t be impassive
Fully grown, a snake has powerful moves
One can fly without wings or propellers
And change the weather for the land dwellers
Without effort, one has great strength it proves
Being so rare, the species is hunted
Humans kill nature and aren’t confronted
Pop
Things were different before
Animals existed in huge numbers
But one seemingly never-ending night, they came
The monsters arrived
Pop
The monsters were similar to creatures that already existed
They were mysterious and even scary
Nobody knew what to do
All we knew was that things were different now
Pop
With each pounding pop, a new one appeared
They were everywhere you looked
Animals were inadequate
These monsters were simply better
Pop
Most animals are gone these tamer days
They’re only used for food
The monsters have multiplied
And every animal has been replaced
Pop
The most frightening thing is the past
Fossils have appeared in the ground
New myths and folk tales have risen from nowhere
The prehistoric past has been altered
Pop
Where did the monsters come from?
Was it space, another dimension, another time?
Nobody knows for sure
All we know for sure is that things have been forever changed

“Sun and Grass”
I am floating around like a cloud
When I look down, I see some flowers
They start out as green and are quite keen
To be treated to rainfall showers
Up they grow, now red and rather fed
Now they smell like a filled-up trash bin
From there they must take a choice they make
To be puny or gargantuan
Dance, you small flowers, show your powers
Without fault, the large ones show cobalt
Yet their poison reveals them vile
“On This Blue Orb”
You’re a tsunami
It’s land you fight, you orca
You’re unstoppable
“Golden Smile and Silver Tears”
It was only his first day by himself

And no one believed the witness
