A Word of Poetry

Chao- Normally this author likes to place in author notes before and after a fan fic to explain where the inspiration came from and any notes that readers may want to know. But for three fan fics, Chao chose not to and instead focused on just writing a one shot poem for three categories. Figured it was important to just focus on the words altogether.

YChao- I thought you disliked poetry.

Chao- Yes, but this was something important, something that Chao couldn't fight.

Agent Daisy- (raises eyebrow)

Chao- Yep. The first poem was for Cats Don't Dance with Danny and his passion for dancing. It just started after watching the movie in the early morning a few times... and listening to its soundtrack... and looking at screencaps... and reading fan fics... and looking at wonderful fan art... and-

YChao- Uh oh, Chao is stuck in a world of bliss.

Agent Daisy- (grabs bucket of water) (pours it on Chao)

Chao- Huh? Oh, yeah. It all just started with wanting to write a good poem for Cats Don't Dance, but Chao figured it'd be pretty cool to expand the idea to Yu-Gi-Oh! and Phineas and Ferb.

YChao- Isn't writing poetry hard?

Chao- Yeah, it's difficult finding the right words and getting a good flow. But the passion for writing three different views on a passionate subject (as viewed by the characters) really helped. It was important to get into their minds and write how they would think and see.

Agent Daisy- (nods in agreement)

Chao- Chao doesn't know much about poetry, but here's a few websites Chao came upon while doing research about poetry writing.

Chao- Perhaps poetry isn't all that bad. Guess if anyone wants to write a poem of their own with no ties to fan fiction, they can always get an account on FictionPress or deviantART. And of course they always have their own blogs, like Blogger or Livejournal.
