This one's just a brief verse

Huh. Just realised I've written all of five bits of One Piece-related poetry, or at least verse, and four of them involve Zoro in some way. Wonder why that is. Anyway, this is just a small secondary fill.

Title: True Direction
Rating: G
Media: fic (poetry)
Character: Zoro
Word Count: 98 (100 with the title)
Prompt: Lost


Maps are unsteady. Landmarks
Treacherous, moving around
As you turn your back on them. Then
There's compasses, most useless things…
Damn architects, always making
Houses and streets into mazes!...
He shall not fall for such tricks.

No point in fretting, or turning
Around, asking for help;
The locals are always confused.
His steps will take him to where
He's meant to be, in the end.
Things always fall into place.

Detours lead to meetings, and they
Wind up changing his life. And also,
He's known to be first to arrive.
Trust the pattern. It will lead him right.

Heh, I liked the line that Zoro's the first to arrive - which is true, he's the first to come to Luffy's side, and the first back to Sabaody...

True, and he was the first to arrive at the clock tower in Albana where the bomb was, too.

After getting himself all the way outside the city walls, too! XD
