Pokemon

Pokemon 

Tokens of my youth. 

Poke Balls lined up in a case. 

Inside Monsters. 

Each earned. 

Each bravely met. 

Challenges faced. 

Battles fought. 

Adversities won. 

Lessons learned. 

And here I am. 

Character molded. 

Conscience instilled. 

Yet a long way to go 

On my journey toward perfection.

Touching memories of a childhood are apparent here, and I can relate so dearly, aha. Be like Pokemon and reveal your true strength, unbeknownst even to yourself, in unexpected times and situations and evolve into forms that can better withstand the adversity of life.

So true… which is why I will never get rid of my collection. Thank you, Taite!

Ahhh Pokeman...confusing game. I was always fond of Dungeons n' Dragons. Very creative writing Rachelle and I enjoyed it! :)

Thank you!

Makes me remember of Ash and Picachu and their travel around the Pokemon world. Those are tokens of your youth, yet developed you into a better person because each level (in the vid game) or each episode (in the anime tv series) taught you some lessons in life.

I agree it's a long way to go towards perfection...

I love pokemon and I love this poem. Keep moving forward!! “Pokémon around the world wait for you, Ash.” — Professor Oak

Finally found someone who understands Pokemon! It's not a bunch of pocket monsters - it's a journey of growth and self-discovery as you earn your Pokemon and go up the ranks as a trainer. Lessons on sportsmanship and fair play are also there in good, clean anime fun!
