Blood Ninja Parody

Author's Note: This is a parody of This Is Just To Say by William Carlos Williams. This parody is for the book Blood Ninja by Nick Lake. After the parody, is a paragraph analyzing the parody.

P.S. Taro is the main character of Blood Ninja.

I have dropped

The bow

Given by my father

Into a ditch

In which

A drunken man

Took it

And threw it in a hut

I went back

With Heiko

I found the bow

And broke it in half

Blood Ninja. The poem relates to the book because It depicts the scenes when taro drops his bow and when he goes back for it with Heiko. Taro is the speaker and the audience is Taro (implying that the poem is taking place in his thoughts). The tone in the first two stanzas is apologetic and in the third it is insincere.
