Opposing beauties I do perceive; Yet these seasons hold equal art. Running warm and cold, Colors red, green, and gold, Both spring and autumn hold my heart.

Working on a couple more, we'll see how that goes but for now... [i]Ping Ping Ping goes the bell. Waiting for someone to answer.

[b]Entry Title:[/b] Save the Turtles [b]Entry: [/b] If Windsinger were my friend, I would ride on his head and he would soar in the sky and we would [u]fly[/u]. We would take baths in rainclouds and nap on fluffy clouds and spinspinspin round Windsinger's twisty cloud. We would fly to the moon and draw pictures on it that everyone would see when they looked up at night. And we would dive in the sea in a giant air bubble and make faces at the sea monsters in their headlamps. We would help all the baby turtles on the beach make it to the ocean without getting eaten. And play kings of a desert island and dig up buried treasure and sail a pirate ship to countries no one ever saw before (except the dragons who live there). We would climb to the very top of the world and come back by sliding down a rainbow to the festival where we would get our faces painted with Earthshaker and tell him about everything that had happened. We would lead the kite dance because Windsinger would be the kite and I would be under his chin and steer him through the crowd and we would dance all night under the glowing lanterns until we had to go home in time for dinner. We would go to bed where Windsinger would curl up in my burrow and I would sleep on his head and we would whisper stories. And then we would get up in the morning and do everything again, if Windsinger were my friend.

Judge Windruffles enjoyed the sunrise with her cup of chai, but with a sigh, she knew it was her time to be at the registration desk for the poetry contest. But that sunrise....and her first Poet looked like the sunrise himself! @tigressRising "You're all set, enjoy the Festival!"

Next up were a young snapper and a Fae, both seeming shy, but Windruffles put them at ease. @sockmonkeygerald "Both of you are all good to go! Thank you for entering the contest, and good luck with these entries! Don't forget your badge, and enjoy the Festival!"

An imposing snapper stepped up and handed her his entry. She checked it over carefully and smiled as she read the haiku. @Jamesfitz3 "Looks like all is well, I'll just add this to the lists and you're all set! Enjoy the Festival and don't forget your badge!

Judge Sequoia pokes her nose up from the book she had been reading, smiling at the sound of the bell. She set her book down and nodded at the poet, looking over their poem to make sure it fit all of the necessary requirements before marking it down.

"You're good to go, poet! Please, enjoy the festival, and don't forget your security badge!"

Onibi rushed to the desk, a bit frazzled. "Oh good, I'm not too late!" he wheezed. He had been working on this poem for the past two days, and really had wanted to turn it in before the end of the day... And he just made it! Now to get working on the other ones! He felt anxious, true, but this also gave his poetic creativity a fever he had never felt before! And to see so many other dragons feeling the same... This event was truly exhilarating!

The path is a long one, and hard to be sure, but if your heart is stout and your motives pure, You will find it! Yes, it's true! Between, betwixt, and breezing through! The place where The Seasons rendezvous! First, the oldest and ageless, calm and quiet, still and silent... Winter, The Unicorn. The purest alabaster, from shining horn-tip to lion's tail, and her small cloven feet forming ice in her trail. Her breath forms a mist that chills to the bone, and when she shakes her mane, a blizzard is blown. She is pure, untouchable, yet oh-so-compelling, Her eyes fathomless, yet filled with fortunetelling. She gazes at the world, mute and alone, sorrowful in the knowledge that her beauty is your tombstone. Second, the bountiful and merry, colorful and clamorous, luminous and glamorous, Autumn, The Griffin. Shades of amber, bronze, crimson, and gold, his fur and his plumage a wonder to behold. He lets out a shout as he takes to the skies, the joy of life and of living is heard in his cries. The birds start to follow, with each beat of his wings, and the beasts start to gather all the season brings. His Season marks ending, he knows this is true... But he won't let an ending be all he lives up to! Third, the powerful and fierce, wild and blazing, free and amazing, Summer, The Dragon. Her fire is obvious in the burning of her eyes, in the shimmer off her scales, and in all that she implies. Everyone she meets is held in her thrall, from the first break of dawn to long past nightfall. For as intense as she seems, she always brings joy, for her heat and her fire are not meant to destroy. All she wants is for all to live an adventurous life, free from their troubles, their heartbreak and strife. Forth, the youngest always, renewed and restored, cherished and adored, Spring, The Phoenix. When his egg hatches, he bursts out with song, he and the world have been dead for too long. He first stirs the hope that lays in our heart, then wakes the flora and fauna in counterpart. His colors ethereal, and his voice sublime, his eyes full of wonder, yet ancient with time. He sings of destruction, the old one to mourn, he sings of creation, the new one reborn! Over hill and over dale, past the fields hearty and hale, down the roads and up the streams, through the sun- and moon-beams... The Seasons have journeyed, long and far, through lands touched by every star. In this place, they might rest, a sacred place that's truly blessed. Between, betwixt, their travels through, where The Seasons rendezvous.

Sequoia smiles at the other Skydancer, logging their poem down and making sure it fits all of the requirements. She gently smiled at the poet and nodded her head.
"Looks like you are all set! Have a happy festival and a happy Mistral Jamboree!"
