Team ⑨ball Poems

So I was finishing my school exams today, and with the extra paper in hand and 45 minutes of nothing to do left, I boarded the creativity train in my head and went on a (sorta) poem writing spree. As you can tell from the title, it will be about Cirno and her gang (consisting of Daiyousei, Rumia, Mystia, Wriggle and Chen mainly, but I added Nazrin too), and most of them are pretty stupid and one of them actually depicts the real actions of a youkai.

In case you wonder what is Team ⑨ball, you must not be familiar with Touhou. It's basically a group of youkai (most of which are considered weak) lead by the baka ice fairy, Cirno. More information will be divulged when I update my Touhou posts in the future.

Note that I know nothing about poems, except that some part of them must rhyme.

The format that I use are:
1) A
    A
    A
    A

2) A
    B
    A
    B

3) A
    A
    B
    B

Right, so without further ado, let's start with the poem writing! Let's start with Cirno first, since she's the leader and all that...

Cirno's Poem
Cirno, Cirno, you are so easy to beat,
Your expectations fulfilled, your demands easy to meet.
Your Spell Cards on Easy definitely can't hit,
Even it is harder to dodge Sanae's rice and wheat.
Calling you baka and nineball is a treat,
But with practice, you'll soon be the strongest kid.

Because this Cirno is epically draw.

Daiyousei's Poem
Daiyousei, Daiyousei, you're always left out!
Oh my, that was quite the loud shout!
What's that you say? A danmaku fight?
I'd rather fight youkai or vampires at night.
Crying and complaining that you're not strong?
You might as well learn and train for long.

Um, sorry...?

Rumia's Poem
Rumia, Rumia, around you go,
In a dark ball, like a black hole.
Looking for humans to hunt and eat,
Or other youkai and shrine maidens to beat.
One important thing though, is that she can't see,
And with regret, she slammed into a tree.
This is how the youkai Rumia wanders about,
Often found under a tree, fainted and knocked out.

Took a long time, but I finally found it.

Chen's Poem
Chen is a nekomata you'd want to keep,
But do not do so, or you'll end up in a heap.
For you see, she is Ran's shikigami,
And mess with Chen, you might soon see a shinigami.
Nevertheless, she is a good friend,
Who will help those in trouble right till the end!
While she may seem small, and sweet as honey,
Beware her Spell Card, Blue Oni Red Oni!

Can't really find a proper picture of Chen, but for those who get this picture, enjoy!

Wriggle's Poem
The bugs of the forest answer to none,
Except for Wriggle, who is their queen.
And every night she goes out to have fun,
For there are games and danmaku that she needs to win.
Flying in the sky, she is easy to spot,
Challenging those who cross her path.
However, down like a rock she was shot,
As the Border Team had the last laugh.

Not so fortunate for Magicannon Team, as they suffer the brunt of a Wriggle Kick!

Mystia's Poem
I sing a song in the quiet night,
Haunting tunes that take away your sight.
Making your world go dark even in light,
Watching as you stumble left and right.

However, it is because I am a Night Sparrow,
That I know the most sorrow,
Of not wanting to be heard or longed,
Due to the curse of my blinding song.

Still it is through this haunting song,
That I am able to stay up on my feet.
For you humans will not be blinded for too long,
As you will soon be nothing but fresh meat.

Keep focusing on Mystia on the picture. Just her. And watch the magic that happens.

Nazrin's Poem
It is my duty to find what my master lost,
For it is my cause as well as her right.
You might wonder what things are at cost,
It is a spear and a pagoda of light.
With my pendulums and my dowsing rod,
All the items are easy to find.
So in the end I'd amount a treasure hoard,
Only to go back and hear my master whine.

Because pendulums and rods are cool.

Thoughts
Well... nothing much to say really, only that I couldn't draw anything on my paper because I had no reference, and my teacher doesn't really like people drawing during exam (lacking taste in art, it seems).

Most of these were thought up on a hunch, and they don't really mean anything, especially the Daiyousei one, since she her character isn't really explained, only in most doujin she seems like the type to get bullied a lot.

The Mystia one is the best in my opinion, with Rumia second and the rest behind. Mystia's picture is also really good, especially the optical illusion. Find Mystia's theme, Deaf to All But the Song and look at the picture again. Feels different? No? Then it must just be me...

Note that I will not be doing poems on a regular basis, since it really isn't my style, but today's exam was such a bore. And anyways, off to study. More horrible, mind bending subjects ahead!

YC, signing out.
