Sungii: Do you find reading interesting?
Naruto: I'm a bad reading and writing. I almost failed my written exams graduating from elementary school!
Sungii: Oh, so I guess you wouldn't know much about poetry huh?
Naruto: mmm... not really, why?
Sungii: I'm trying to understand what makes poetry so powerful.
Naruto: I do know a bit about writing and poetry.
Sungii: No offence, but I'm sure it won't be that helpful if you almost failed your examinations.
Naruto: You're the one asking for help! It seems like you could use any bit of help you can get!
Sungii: Okay, sorry continue.
Naruto: Yeah, you're right I don't know that much about poetry but I think I understand a bit about it. My sensei was a writer. He wrote a series of books that many of my other friends liked and also a special book about me.
Sungii: Is the book: The Legend of the Gutsy Ninja?
Naruto: That's it! It's written in dedication of a peace he wished to find. He left his thoughts, aspirations, dreams and his desire to seek out a peace in words that developed into a story. That story became my life.
Sungii: That's pretty deep. Was that on purpose?
Naruto: I don't know.
Sungii: Well that's just great, so then is every wonderful peace of poetry or writing any different from any other?!
Naruto: Yeah they still are different. They're different in the way they impact people. Poetry conveys feelings, thoughts, stories in words. Just like a story, poetry too can be interpreted in different ways depending on the reader. It has to do a lot with a perspective that we want others to try and see. That's probably why poets work very hard at creating lines to convey their most inner thoughts. Words can only slightly show what we feel. There is still so much more that it cannot reveal.
Sungii: Hey you made a rhyme! That could be a poem about... poems.
Naruto: Yeah, probably a free verse.
Sungii: I'm now finding it hard to believe you almost failed examinations back in elementary school.
Naruto: I guess I never fully appreciated how much of life you could leave behind with an imprint in ink.
