A/N: Ok, so we had to do a poem about an event in Europe in the 1500s in Social Studies, so I chose a free verse poem about the Black Death. Look it up or ask your parents or something if you don't know what it is. I thought my poem was really good, and so did a lot of my classmates so I decided I would post it on here for fun. Sorry it's not really about Percy Jackson, but this is from a European demigod's point of view. I know that they have Ambrosia and Nectar and that stuff, but let's all just pretend the gods just went through a battle, so they aren't at full power right now. The demigod can be the son or daughter of whichever god you want. I don't know if I have to make a disclaimer for this but I'm going to anyway, just in case.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own PJO, Europe, the Black Death, free verse poems, the stupid idea of Social Studies, or any of that stuff, but I do own this demigod.

R&R!
