I believe this poem came to me in a flash of inspiration during the middle of a boring class a few weeks ago. I just found it again and thought I'd share it with y'all. It's a poem about Bluestar's life from her POV, but it doesn't have a title yet.
Born into Thunder
Trained for fighting
Finally a warrior
named for my blue fur
A bracken-colored River
The love of my life
Must give up my kits
for the good of the Clan
Oh StarClan
did I make the right choice?
For a time I thought I did
I stopped disaster
Saved my Clan
Now the leader, with a red-tailed deputy
I hear of a prophecy
Fire alone can save our Clan
But fire destroys, not saves!
Can StarClan be right?
I must trust them anyway
A kittypet like a brand of fire comes
The Raven says my red-tailed deputy is gone
gone to StarClan
along with my love
Oh StarClan, no!
My new lion-hearted deputy is soon gone as well
Taken down by a shadow
Now my second is a Tiger
ambitious but loyal to the end
(or so I thought)
Rouges attack
I should not have trusted the broken star or Tiger
Betrayal!
If not for Fire I would be with the stars
My mind is snapping
I can trust no one (except Fire)
Tiger is lurking, lurking
Soon he is found leading Shadow
StarClan has abandoned us!
I turn my back on them
I trust no one
not even Fire
Now a new threat - the “pack”
We are slaughtered like prey
The hunters become the hunted
But Fire has saved us, the pack is gone
I have given up my last life
in service of my Clan
My children are with me as I go
and Fire as well
Fire did save our Clan
I know StarClan are not against us
I believe again
And so I join them
My life for my Clan
Born into Thunder
Trained for fighting
Finally a warrior
named for my blue fur
A bracken-colored River
The love of my life
Must give up my kits
for the good of the Clan
Oh StarClan
did I make the right choice?
For a time I thought I did
I stopped disaster
Saved my Clan
Now the leader, with a red-tailed deputy
I hear of a prophecy

But fire destroys, not saves!
