[@Kaiten92]

"Until we ca...arrived..." lol love this poem

[@Mzzutara4sho]

Rufio Jake Long Zuko Kewl breeze and hopefully Marshal Lee. I've almost lost count of how many times I've fallen in love with this guy. He in part of my childhood.

[@Thedreadfuldirector]

Zuko's not gonna get his honour back this way.

[@lex5768]

This is actually just a great poem

[@jasminwhite5007]

I swear I still love him. He’s still super awesome

[@grovepar1203]

[@lamimijae]

Still my favorite poem. I'm 28 but been listening to this before age 20.

[@waterhands20]

Oh man, now I'm thinking of Zuko talking like this lol awesome

[@boistired6825]

Me: It’s Dante Basco, he is performing his own poem! My Mind: Fire Lord Zuko describing the conceiving of Izumi.

[@soupforfree]

[@lejoe916]

[@blackthornsos]

Am I the only one who finds this poem profound in a way? There is a pure primal image in here,

[@annaliese1082]

Uncle, I don't need tea, I need my honor

[@KtheBangarang]

[@NativeSpartacus]
