The Tale of Team Rocket

Wow, it's been a long time since I've written a PokePoem. Blurg. I wrote a lot of them during the summer but then I kind of stopped. Just today I wrote this poem though as kind of a tribute to Team Rocket. Since they are my favorite characters and undoutedly the best characters on the show I decided to write a poem detailing their lives. It's from Jessie's perspective just incase you can't tell. XD Well, that's enough blabbering away up here on my part so I'll just let you get on to readng my poem!
Enjoy and please tell me what you think of it!

The Tale of Team Rocket
I began with nothing
But the clothes upon my back,
All my life was poverty
Muffled by the black.
My mother disappeared
When I was only small
Leaving me all by myself
With nothing but to fall.

He began with everything
His inheritance was rich,
But his life was not all easy
Because his parents had to pitch
A curve ball over to him
To ruin his easy life;
A southern bell of noble birth
To be his cruel wife.

Finally I fled,
I could take no more,
I couldn’t live in shadows,
The dirty life was poor.
He was simply miserable,
Held captive by the girl,
With only a faithful puppy;
And so he fled as well.

One poor love-sick cat,
a-wondering the streets,
on human feet to please his love
and the mastered human speech.
But his love was not impressed
And turned him away,
And so with a broken heart
That cat fled in shame.

I met him in the dark,
He seemed so sad and empty,
So I ordered him to come with me,
I had my first friend finally.
The school was harsh
But almost passed we did,
Though partying the night before
Our tests, we failed, we hid.

We quickly fled that school
And joined a wayward band
Of illegal doings and evil deeds
Hoping to expand.
There we met the cat
Who joined out little group
And gave us plans and crazy ways
To help us in a loop.

Hungrily we wandered,
Our new balloon could fly,
Pillaging innocent trainers
And escaping to the sky.
And on one fateful day
A center we attacked,
We were defeated and introduced;
The twerps our enemy’s to last.

The trio’s rat was strong,
Something stronger I’d never seen,
We coveted it and followed them
Hoping our boss to please.
Everyday we tried
To capture the elusive rat,
But nothing we could ever do
Would prevent the expected blast.

Our ego sometimes failed us
But we never stopped our fight
To capture the twerp’s Pokemon
Before they forced our flight.
Every time we blasted off
We always cursed out luck
But we never ever stopped or thought
That we should just give up.

But all that was long ago,
We quit the band soon after
For their unjust ways and cruel treatment
And the lack of food and laughter.
The trio of twerps did get away
But we didn’t really care,
We retired together and settled down,
And now our children hear our tale.

Hush, keep it down
Wow, good work! At first I expected a poem with a new trainer joining Team Rocket (Yeah, I didn't really get the title right away) but once I read it, it's really good!

You had excellent description and use of certain words. Allow me to point out some:

To ruin his easy life;
A southern bell of noble birth
To be his cruel wife.

One poor love-sick cat,
a-wondering the streets,
on human feet to please his love
and the mastered human speech.

There we met the cat
Who joined out little group
And gave us plans and crazy ways
To help us in a loop.

We were defeated and introduced;
The twerps our enemy’s to last.

And then the ending, very good as well. I really like this.

Hey, thanks! Yeah, I liked it as well, though I wasn't so pleased with the ending. I may go back and add a new stanza between the last two, but for now I think it's good. It took me about an hour to write, but I had fun with it. I'm hoping to do more like it in the future. Thanks for reviewing TGB! I really appreciate it so, here, you get my new and improved cheese and pickel cookie! :p Yummeh isn't it? XD

Thanks!

WHOO! Loved it Saya!

I never really knew much about Jessie's life, and I was glad I read this. It's pretty sad, but entertaining. You rhyme really well. (Wish I could.) And what an ending. She and James are telling their children their story. (What about Meowth?!) Wonder what they're lives are like...

Anyway, I liked it. Keep it up. And if you give me the cookie, I'm stuffing it down Cheeky's throat.

;025; - NO! NOT PICKLES!

Or Myra's.

;151; - NO! NOT CHEESE!

--; Or Mewtwo's.

;150; - YAY! CHEESE AND PICKLES! *square-dances*

00;; And Myra's engaged to him, poor thing. Anyway, liked it! Can't wait for more! *pulled into square-dancing* NNOOOO!
