Hunger Games Poems

Hi, these are sets of poems relating to the Hunger Games. Different character views are included, and I hope you all enjoy them.

Katniss

As I look into the dark, red blood in the arena,

I want to cry with raging tears,

but I remember to stay strong and brave,

because that is how a warrior is made.

Rue’s dark, bright eyes stare into mine,

and I look right back into them pride,

I know she died,

but with hope I will overcome my cries.

I look back from the days at the Hob,

back at when I was young,

the evil from the outside,

but some pride deep, deep inside.

It is obvious I loathe the Capitol,

the confusion it gives its people,

from the outside full with smiles,

but the inside full of liars.

Gale

I have a really good friend,

and Katniss was her name,

one day she soared with her wings,

she left me alone in the wild, and I couldn’t stop waving.

When she won the games,

I felt pride,

but when she went again,

I was weak enough to cry.

I saw Peeta, and to tell the truth, I felt a pang of jealousy,

he look at me full of solemnity,

light eyes, blonde hair, and strength no opponent can bear,

I realized only one thing: To face the games, Katniss needs one such man.

Katniss and I went hunting one day,

we had enjoyment, and like children we played,

I never knew that she had to leave,

I held onto her like leaves on a tree.

Peeta

Hey, I saw this girl,

and for long moments I felt something special,

however I never knew that we would end up in a place, a place so miserable.

She looked at me with her bold, dark eyes,

and oh, did I feel so scared,

Will the games ruin our friendship?

A friendship so rare?

But later we were equal,

I saved her first,

she saved me second,

we had a strong bond of forgiveness,

the only bond that was there.

All these days I was wrong,

Katniss doesn’t have hatred for me,

she is just perplexed,

and confused on who values to her the most.
