Katawa Shoujo Forums

Just went through my hard drives sorting stuff and came across something I wrote more than a year ago. Doesn't seem like I posted it yet, so...
While some people posted poems in the Fanfiction section before, I think this would be better placed here.

I guess most people who've been around teh internet for a bit will get the reference - all the others can look here.

Enough introduction. Please enjoy the Katawa General

Katawa General
While Kenji’s eyesight’s pretty bad he still sees more than other men,
And Lilly cannot see at all but gets to play the mother hen.
Ritsu had to give up her drums – so what there’s still the saxophone.
If Hanako would get a grip she’d hardly ever be alone.
My heart goes crazy all the time, I must not climb or run or fall.
For fear that should it take a hit, quite soon it mightn’t beat at all.
While other’s lots might seem quite bad, it’s obvious that you can tell,
That my condition is the worst, Arrhythmia’s unbearable.

Of Misha I don’t even know; it’s probably some minor thing.
If Miki learns to write with right, she’ll just have problems with her rings.
Shizune’s deafness is a joke, though sign language looks quite bizarre.
If Rin had hands, nobody’d see how special all her paintings are.
So Emi might have lost her legs, she doesn’t mind in any way.
Suzuki’s problem is a blast, she gets to nap ten times a day.
They’re all living a happy life, and as you see they are quite well,
But my condition is the worst, Arrhythmia’s unbearable.

All the yes. Now I just need to memorize this and we'll all be good

Thanks.
Memorizing is not even that hard...
Try singing it without getting a knot in your tongue.

That's cute.
Poems are cute.

I actually turned this in as an assignment for my college level poetry class. I presented it to the whole class, and to this day they do not know about the banging of cripple chicks.

I kept this poem short and sweet. I made it so that the first letter of every line spelt out 'Katawa' . I wrote about the very beginning in Act 1 with Iwanako's confession. It would have been a bit more subtle, but I had felt it necessary to add a picture of the two in the snow.
