I Am Foot
I AM FOOT http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/e...a/footclan.png I am an assassin. My life spent in service and training. Silently I strike, only to fade into the night. Not a moment's hesitation precedes the kill, Though it generates no pleasure. Our late Master made regular enemies Of a particular four. But only now, that they are no longer foes, Do I realise how familiar with them I truly am. Some of my Clan brethren still can hardly tell them apart. "Just one of four targets," they'd always say, But I know them all too well. There is the warrior of spirit; He who is the key to their unity. There is the warrior of distraction; He who moves like lightning, whose tongue is ever quicker. There is the warrior of knowledge; He whose calculating precision keeps him alert For when he is needed. And there is the warrior of courage; He who strikes hard, who dares not show weakness. I am lucky to have survived my every encounter with these shadow warriors, But they have left their mark. Were they my enemies still, my respect they ever have. I am ninja. I am Foot. |
Like it!!! Good job
|
Much appreciated. I felt the need to give a voice to a common Foot soldier, which I feel is fertile grounds for many stories, since they could well vary greatly in personality, even if their job description is "ninja flunkie." I liked the idea of making it a poetic memoir and just rolled with it.

I like it too! :tgrin: :tcool: :tthumbsu::tthumbsu::tthumbsu:
Cool!!! |
Wow. A very awesome poem. We don't see many stories or poems about the Foot Ninjas. I'd like to see more like this. Nicely done.
|
I honestly wrote it in a rough hour on impulse, while stoned from exhaustion, instead of getting to sleep like I should have. Granted, that was at least a year ago, so... yeah. I'm really bad about finishing my written pieces, so it's a good thing I forced myself into finishing, once I'd started. I appreciate your positive remarks.
|
I really like this.
|
Thanks very much. I'm very pleased that no one has reacted negatively to this. I'd be proud of it, regardless, but all the kind words really make me feel good about having written it.
|
This is cool. I loved how you described the Turtles. Well done. :)
|
Well, if the Turtle Titan approves, that pretty much negates anything bad one might say about it in the future.
As for their descriptions, I changed Mike's "Warrior of ________" title about three times and Donatello's description past his "Warrior of Knowledge" title once or twice. It's been a while. Hard to recall.:ohwell: |
"Like" :tthumbsu: :tanime: Please do write more. This was sweet.
|
So much attention, today!
Write more from a standard Foot member's perspective?
Or do you mean to encourage that I post more Turtles-related writings in the near future? I did make up a rival clan to the Foot's Japanese branch. |
