His victories are addicting

And there’s no foe he cannot hurl,

But The Boulder feels conflicted

About fighting a young, blind girl

u/Infinite-Island-7310 avatar

Her moves are great to see,

Many will start to get colder.

Sounds to like me

Like you're scared, boulder.

u/Defektiv17 avatar

Im getting run over

I like drug dealing

The Boulder’s over

his conflicted feelings

This is awesome.

A shot from the distance

Goes off with a bang

I take down the threat

Yeah, boomerang!

Now I need to see a story where the Boulder becomes a world famous poet duo with Toph.

Roses are red

And white when given the chance

“What are you doing?”

“I’m mugging you”

“With that stance?”

But how will you stop the Fire Lord

If you’re not wearing pants?

Honestly, this whole interaction was my favorite part of that entire episode.

Hello, Zuko here

Fire flakes are hot

They give a smokey smell

You must look within yourself to save yourself from your other self

u/tmntfever avatar

Both elegance and dexterity are required to master the beautiful sounding harp

Careful, you could puncture the hull of an empire class fire nation battleship leaving thousands to drown at sea, because it's so sharp

After the war

Comes peace and rebirth

But I am quite sure

WE WILL DOMINATE THE EARTH

Would "black" rhyme with "attacked".

No

Black-attack not at attacked 🙄

Doesn’t need to rhyme perfectly to be a good poem. It’s close enough and has good structure

What’s the first one?

That last one took me a minute, but luckily I've seen the show so many times and I have no friends, so... I figured it out.

Roses turn red Under the sun like a sauna I’m too young to die! I’m not, but I still don’t wanna!
