Naruto-Shaped Rhymes

Summary:

Ended up with four enjoyable poems, nursery rhymes(?), after a random three hour hyperfocus session. Decided to post them and see if anyone wants to take a look. Feel free to play with them, use them in your own work if you find any use for them. I'll never publish these so go ham. (I'd love a link if you make something)

Chapter 1: TALES OF FAILURE (Scarecrow's Lament)

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

The scarecrow has fields of his failures to tell,
of his precious people, whom he let die.
The scarecrow still counts them, bell to bell.
He counts all his failures and smiles with one eye.

First spilled his guts for a son and a lie.
Second got crushed, save for an eye.
Third put her heart in a worthless scum's palm.
Fourth died in chains with a babe in her arms.
Fifth dragged a demon to fate worse than hell.
But the scarecrow kept going, an empty shell.

Oh, the scarecrow has fields of his failures to tell.
Heartaches and lost ones, yet he'll always try.
The scarecrow still loves them, bell to bell.
Each chime is a burden he'll never let lie.

Notes:

Kakashi mourns his precious people:

Sakumo (First)
Obito (Second)
Rin (Third)
Kushina (Fourth)
Minato (Fifth)
