My Brother's Pokemon

My brother has all the Pokemon names memorized

and I don’t know how he does it.

 

There are names are names that make sense like,

Seel, Ditto, and Meowth.

 

There are cute names like

Cubchoo, Togekiss, Mew.

 

Tyranitar, Zebstrika, Dragonite �"

all sound like killers.

 

Or ones that have me scratching my head:

Klinklang, Gothorita, Nosepass, Throh.

 

Trubbish, Garbador, Gastrondon

remind me of a trash can.

 

 

 

Volcarona

sounds like a type of alcohol.

 

And I can’t even pronounce

Regigigas, Phione, Deoxys.

I am in love with this poem!!! Mostly because I am a huge Pokemon fan and I can totally relate to not knowing how to pronounce names (Regigigas kicks my butt every time) and I always wonder how they came up with that stuff.
Your poem is reminiscent of a style I read a long time ago - I can't remember what it is, but I'll be sure to look it up - and I like how it flows. I'd be interested in playing around with this style myself - it's a modified list poem (and we all know how much I like list poems).
I can also imagine the older sibling shaking their head at what the little brother is doing, thinking it's a little dumb but being very curious about it at the same time.
You really have the makings of a great poet. I can't wait to read more of your writing!

Thanks for the kind words Neo! And if you find out what the name of the style is, be sure to let me know.
