Needle

Tribute to Arya Stark

Valar Morghulis

You whisper those words at night

And remember faces

Valar Morghulis

You saw your father murdered

Family blood spilled

Valar Morghulis

The ones you love fade away

Like wolves in the night

Valar Morghulis

You face perversions and death

But never succumb 

Valar Morghulis

The world takes all it can and

Leaves you to suffer

Valar Morghulis

You gather your strength, take arms

Learn to change your face

Valar Morghulis

Claim 'most girls are idiots'

But you're not most girls

Valar Morghulis

You will slay those whom you can

Show them the Needle

Valar Morghulis

And never ever forget

That all men must die

Author's Note

I love Arya Stark. She's such a tragedy and, yet, so resilient. She's a bit like the Punisher, except still in training.

Poem is definitely 'on point' as befits Arya Stark - and 'needle' work of the verses to match!

Looking forward to another GOT poem!

Arya has never been one to mince words, one of the things I admire most about her and it's something I strove to embrace for this poem. I may be doing another GOT poem, I'm leaning towards Dany or perhaps Jon Snow for the next one, mostly because I know how both of those poems would end in my head. I'm glad you enjoyed this one :)

looking forward to reading! Hope you come up with a Stannis too!

Jesse, I am not familiar with Arya Stark but none the less I did enjoy your poem. Tough broad, I probably would have been an easy prey for the Needle. You have good style. Richie

Game of Thrones is a great show, I highly recommend it. Arya is kind of a cross between Batman and Punisher, all wrapped up in a little girl. She's my favorite. Thanks for the review!

I like this poem. Very to the point, and shows a strong sense of personality and some of their thoughts. Well wrote. Thank you for sharing this. Good Luck!

Arya is very to the point, which is a characteristic I wanted to convey in this poem. I love her as a character, very strong and amazing. Thanks for the review!
