Title: Pens and Swords
Challenge: 187, strength
Word Count: 138
Other: I really should stop writing about Org. members or just Zexion in particular, but I can't help it. XD I just find antagonists fascinating and I can put them through all sorts of hell in fanfics and roleplays and not feel guilty! :D So yeah. I also kind experimented with a poem kinda style. I don't know.

--------

Elaeus has:
   Muscles even great
   Stone statues would
   Envy
   With their poor marble
   Hearts
Even has: 
   Scalpel sharp
   Intelligence
   Carving, dissecting, creating
   From the body of Science
Dilan has:
   Eyes that see through
   And which tear down
   Emotional barricades
Braig has:
   Cupid's impeccable aim but
   Ares' golden arrow

And Ienzo has...
   And what of Ienzo
   Tucked Away
   Invisible
   In his precious library
   Books to his chest
   Wondering this phrase-

"What is your strength?"
Asks
Their newest member
Flickering and twisting and dancing
Like flames so often do
With his cat eye green eyes
And a mocking-born smile

A pointed jab
Laces itself through
Four simple words

But
His skin is
Dictionary thick
And with dark eyes
He smiles
One of liquid lies and shadows
Quoting what a mast
Once said
To an apprentice

"I have my words
And you'd best
Realize
How much worse
They are than your
Simple
Petty
Blades."

Ahhh, I could so see Zexion giving Axel the verbal bitchslap. I especially liked "but his skin is dictionary thick".

That was really cool. :3
The only thing that I'd like to point out about this one is that each line had a capital, so it made it feel a little choppy. I dunno if you were going for that or not. D: But I thought it was excellent. :3 Good job~
