A is for Annabeth: A PJO Alphabet

Hello!

The following is an alphabet poem about the PJO canon-verse in general-I got the idea from reading "A Mary Sue Alphabet", which is hilarious. I might do more, but these take quite a while to write. Anyway, enjoy!

Disclaimer, the First: I don't believe Rick Riordan writes such bad poetry as I do.

Disclaimer, the Second: The author apologizes ahead of time for several Star Wars, LOTR, and some random references made and would like to remind the readers that she is not in possession of the ownership of any of them.

Disclaimer, the Third: The author additionally apologizes ahead of time for any groaning/rolled eyes brought on by awful rhymes. Now stop reading the disclaimers and start on the story.

A is for Annabeth,
Grey eyes and blond hair
She's been at camp for years
And knows everything there
A daughter of Athena,
Intelligent is she
Her fatal flaw is hubris
As evident to see
She's got a crush on Percy
But when all's said and done?
It's too bad she doesn't know
It's clear to everyone.

B is for the bronze bull
That comes up in book two
With a hot breath of fire
I'd run if I were you!
Though Clarisse fought well,
She was defeated in the end
Her warriors' helmets aflame
And her square shield to mend.
Tyson smashed its face in-
(Cyclopes are good to have around)
And now it's tame as can be
It's usefulness does abound.

C is for Circe and Calypso
Books two and four, respectively
My favorite characters
They've got immortality
Circe is a sorceress
Famous for one thing:
Turning men into pigs
Does a bell it ring?
Calypso-"I will conceal"
Was very lonely, indeed
From time to time a hero comes
With whom she falls in love with speed.

D is for Dionysus
Head of the half-blood camp
Stuck there for a few years
For being a vamp
He's mean and he's nasty
And usually rude
But might it be possible
He wasn't always so crude?
In the third book Percy sees
Him with his wife
In book four he helps Chris
Throughout all the strife

E is for Eros
Though canon he's not
He shows up in some fics
To help out with the plot
And though he's not canon
His mother may be-
Believe it or not,
She comes up in book three.
Often called Cupid,
Or his Roman name
His favorite hobby
Is playing love's game.

F is for Frodo-
Wait-that's LOTR!
It just goes to show
Book characters can get far!
But now F is for fleece,
Taken from Phemus, Poly
Mending Thalia's tree-
Making everything jolly.
An unexpected consequence
That was never foretold-
It brought Thalia back,
Almost sixteen years old.

G is for Grover,
Percy's best friend
A satyr and keeper,
Saw Pan at his end.
Juniper is a tree nymph,
His girlfriend as well
The last time we saw him
Was under love's spell.
He talks to poodles-
A pretty cool guy
A protector of nature
Who longs for open sky.

H is for Hephaestus,
He's in BOTL.
He seems gruff, and seems grumpy
But hey, who can tell?
His wife's Aphrodite
And though he loves her
She sneaks out with Ares
Which makes him all "grr".
A wizard with his hands
He can make all sorts of stuff
Anything you can dream
He'll create, sure enough.

I is for Iris,
Who helps demigods IM.
For a drachma she'll carry
A message for them.
If you make a rainbow
And throw in some cash
It'll disappear in the mist,
Rather than making a splash.
If you've done it right,
And Iris is free
She'll create a connection
For you and for me.

J is for Janus,
I don't know why he showed up.
He's a strictly Roman god,
Does Riordan know his stuff?
But put that aside:
He's the god of doorways
Forcing Annabeth to choose
In just so many days.
January's his namesake
The first month of the year
And janitor, the "keeper" of
The halls/doors so dear.

K is for Kampe,
A monster so hideous
Even more so then that
Guy from Star Wars-Darth Sidious
She's on Alcatraz
Guarding a hundred-handed one
His name is Briares and
He wishes he was done
Our heroes came
And nearly got eaten
But of course they escaped-
And old Kampe got beaten.

L is for Luke,
What a traitorous skunk!
Body-sharing with Kronos
Would put anyone in a funk.
We all thought he was good,
Till an Anakin he pulled
And now he won't rest
Until the gods are annulled
He tried to kill Percy
Only two or three times
It's a good thing this stanza's
Over-I can't think of any rhymes...

M is for Medusa,
She's got snakes for hair!
She too, is evil
With a paralyzing glare!
And though this may sound
Like some teachers you've met
I bet none of them have had
Such a hair day as yet.
She tried to turn
Our trio to stone
But Percy cut off her head
With a thump and a groan.

N is for Nakmura,
(Ethan's his first)
He was an unclaimed camper
Who turned to the worst
He had to duel with Percy
But of course Percy won
Then Percy didn't kill him
As he obviously should have done
This mistake came back later
Bit them in the rear
Because it's all Ethan's fault
They've got Kronos to fear.

O is for Olympus,
A mountain on high
Now on top of New York
Is where it does fly.
If you want to see Zeus
Just walk up to the clerk
And ask him-you never know,
It just might work.
Then again, since PJO
Doesn't quite exist
I really wouldn't try it
You'd better desist.

P is for Percy,
Our main demi-god
The first one to find out
That Luke was a fraud.
His fatal flaw's personal
Loyalty to his friends
He do anything to save them
He'd go to all ends.
He lives in New York,
His mother cooks blue food,
And seeing Annabeth
Puts him in a good mood.

Q is for Quintus,
Who's really not human
He's had all of six bodies-
Been around before Truman!
He's the swords guy at camp
For the fourth book
He's got a pet hellhound
Come on in, take a look!
He ends up dying
Nico releases him
He was glad to go,
It wasn't just a whim.

R is for Rachel
Elizabeth Dare,
She's Percy's good friend-
But I won't go there.
She can see through
The mist though she's a mortal
And helps transport Percy
Through that labyrinth of portals.
She first showed up
At the dam called Hoover
Saved Percy from skeletons
Helped him out-maneuver.

S is for Sally
She's Percy's mother
Engaged to Paul Blofis
Once Poseidon's lover
She's had a hard life
But now she's doing well
Since selling "The Poker Player"
(It was Gabe-shh, don't tell!)
She cooks up blue food
And now she's taking writing
It's a shame she's got to worry
When Percy's out fighting.

T is for Tyson,
At six feet tall,
And with gigantic muscles
He towers above all
Then in SOM, guess what?
To really no surprise
We find out that Tyson
Does NOT have two eyes
At first Percy disliked him,
Resented his father
For claiming him-he
Never wanted a brother!

U is for Ulysses
Otherwise known
As Odysseus,
Hero of great renown
Though he's long dead
And now just a ghost
He'll always be remembered
As accomplishing the most
He helped with the war
And with the Trojan horse
Lost for so many years
When his ship went off courses.

V is for Venus,
The goddess of love
She sits on her throne
And laughs from above.
Sometimes called Aphrodite,
Loves messing up lives
Interfering with relations
Between husbands and wives
She cheats on her husband
With the god of war
And shows up quite often
In most of Greek lore.

W is for Water Nymphs
We don't know that much
About them, they're all
Side characters as such.
They look like teenagers,
Amphibious they are
They've barely shown up
In the series so far
Their sisters the wood
Nymphs helped Percy when
They took him to the Big House
After Luke tried to kill him then.

X is for...
Well, I'm not sure just yet.
But I'll come up with something
On that you can bet.
For now let me tell you
What "X" can do
It's quite a cool letter,
That much is true
Without it words like
"Xenophobe" and "X-ray"
Would have to be spelled
In some other new way.

Y is for York, New
Percy's home state
Don't forget Camp Half-Blood;
It really is great!
A beautiful skyline
Started many a quest
But now monsters are stirring
Up a feeling of unrest
All we can do is hope
It won't be torn apart
From the final battle-
Especially its start.

Z is for Zeus,
He's the top guy
On Mount Olympus
Way up in the sky
The father of Thalia
One of the Big Three
Hera despises him
As is plain to see
He's pretty dramatic
And not so much fun
That's all for now, folks-
This poem is done!

Review and tell me if you'd like another one-I'm open to ideas!

Sincerely,

Sheva Das
