Tag Line: “What?!? Poetry?!? Me?!?” he yelled incredulously. “Pop, are you out of your mind?”
***FanFic History***
I prefer writing prose to poetry myself, probably because all of my own (school enforced) exercises have resulted in scathing essay-length reviews, open mockery, and in one instance a mass case of stunned horror (that one wasn’t meant to be read aloud though). Given my past history, I had understandably mixed feelings about this story, and yet it made sense for Shikamaru. So because I’m a masochist, here’s a fic in honor of my old nemesis, April’s National Poetry Month. Yikes.
