These came to me one night and I thought the Studio would be a good place to share them. First I'll tell you a bit about me.
I am not a poet and I don't pretend to understand how to write "proper" poetry. I am mainly an associative writer, which means I gather similar ideas as I write and combine them to create a cohesive effect in my writing. (See the free association article on Wikipedia for a psychological foundation to the method, and this video on YouTube for how the method relates to poetry.) As such, most of these will be in free verse.
Here's how my poems work. Each one is focused on a Pokemon, or an evolutionary family, or a grouping of Pokemon. All words in the poem will flow from moves and abilities learned by the Pokemon. That's about it! Oh, and any images are not my creation--they're just for visualization purposes.
Enjoy!

"Long Leg of the Night"
Sticky web, spider web,
Attract sleep.
Talk, screech, frustration:
Endure.
Struggle bug, swarm,
Constrict sleep.
Talk, screech, frustration!
Endure.
Bug, bite night,
Slash sleep.
Talk, screech, frustration...
Endure.
Night... shade, shadow,
Sneak sleep.
Talk, screech... rest, snore... Return frustration!
Endure insomnia.

"Oddish, Gloom, & Vileplume"
Oddish, Gloom, Vileplume,
Swagger petal dance.
After you, round moon,
Light, lucky chant.
Double-edge grass knot,
Flail, teeter, dance.
After you, Vileplume,
Mimic lucky chant.

"Sneasel"
"Thief! Pickpocket!"
Scratch, beat up, snatch.
"Quick, attack! Pursuit!"
Snarl, taunt, slash.
Hidden.
"Power avalanche!"
Keen eye detect?
"Swift punishment!"
Spite, retaliate, payback.
Nightmare.
"Fling rock! Smash defense!"
Curl, protect.
"Fling ice! Punch defense!"
Curl, protect.
Reflect.
Strength, inner focus, calm.
Mind power-up=punch substitute.

"Zapdos"
Pressure, static discharge:
Flash!
Sky drop thunder, rain.
Dance!
