[I]Hello little Miths! Does the Windsinger know what a toothbrush is? Otherwise, this poem might cause a little confusion...

I give you clean pyjamas And a new toothbrush. Our bodies cuddle in my bed too tight; My sleep is restful and my dreams are bright. (Of course you also could have slept on the couch.) Your smile is cheerful in the sun’s first light. The toothbrush’s staying for the next long night. A year later, I move away And throw away a toothbrush That’s been only used once.

[I]Blithely sidles up to the miths, a little haggard. "Here, I've got one..."

[I]Hello little Miths! I'd like to offer up a poem to the Wind!

@Krawald [columns][size=4]Much to Caywa's confusion, the little mith fluttered all about her head in excitement, twittering all the while! She finally came to a hovering halt right before her nose. "Oh! Forgive me! But you look just like one of us! Mythical and Monumental! But oh, I'm so disfabricated! Of course, I can take your entry right here!" "And yours as well," she added, turning to the dark Fae waiting patiently behind. "Now, don't forget your [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/2982666/1#post_46718316]Poet Certificate[/url]! I would be remiss were I not to remember to remind you!"[/size][nextcol][img]https://imgur.com/JxBlJZf.png[/img][/columns]

@dragonpals [columns][img]https://imgur.com/2MzM7gp.png[/img][nextcol][size=4]"Welcome, welcome!" While ancient, Uncle Opa's wings gave off a healthy buzz as he hovered head-high to the dragon. "You've come to the right place. Allow me to add your entry to my clipboard...hmm-hmmm" He quickly flipped through his sheets, plucking a form from the bottom of the pile and handing it over. "Remember to pick up your [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/2982666/1#post_46718316]Poet Certificate[/url]. All the information is right there, yes, yes! And enjoy the Jamboree!"[/size][/columns]

@Sunstone Phoenix [columns][img]https://imgur.com/2MzM7gp.png[/img][nextcol][size=4]"Hmm-hmmm, most impressive" Uncle Opa spent an extra moment riffling through his clipboard, pausing to peer over his specs at Javor periodically. "It looks like your clan has entered in five of the six categories. Only one more to go! Nice work, everyone!"[/size][/columns]

@Storygeek [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/12118992][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/121190/12118992_350.png[/img][/url][/center] The massive guardian takes a moment to peer at the entrants' board, checking each category with utmost care. He squints with the effort of reading the tiny, elegant handwriting of the miths. When he looks back at Uncle Opa, there is a soft smile upon his face. "I believe I recognize six names from the Clan of Windswept Ashes here, including my own. If I'm not mistaken, my poem was the last in our little collection." He curls his tail around his great talons and settles into a more relaxed pose. "I know that I can be a little slower with my thoughts than my clanmates. It's why we agreed that I'd make the journey here last!" [center][size=2]Also! If I counted correctly, Two of a Kind has 171 words![/size][/center]

A forbidding-looking Imperial stalks up to the entry table. In a surprisingly gentle voice, he says, "May I interest you in the words of the Plaguebringer? No? Well, in that case, mine will have to do." He places a sheet of parchment on the table. A dark red substance is etched into it. "Don't worry," he says. "That's a completely stable strain." He turns and walks away. It isn't until the Miths finish reading the entry form that they notice he's from a clan they've seen before... [quote][I]Hello little Miths!

There is chocolate and kisses, and flowers galore. Everything calculated to delight. But something is missing And I can place it A color dear to our hearts One that we know full well The color of life's-blood Of hearts beating on Of our own gifted marks. The red of your eyes Is what I see before me always The redness of health And survival And the warmth of life And passion. You who doubt yourself Who doubt your power because your eyes are common Do not listen to those voices who would put you lower than you are. Because your eyes are common They shine clear Bright, healthy red The color of the Mother's most frequently bestowed gift. It is a color I see rarely Where I am Even my own reflection lacks it And I long to be Where I can see it every day And be reminded of Mother's sustaining care And of her mandate to survive And flourish And live And love And produce new life. Only in your eyes can I see it.[/quote]

@SunstonePhoenix [columns][img]https://imgur.com/2MzM7gp.png[/img][nextcol][size=4]Uncle Opa shuffled through his clipboard again. Suddenly his cheeks flushed pink beneath his pince nez. "Hmm-hmmm! Oh! I see...Berkeley's haiku was stuck to the page above...Yes, yes! All six! Congratulations to your whole clan!" [i](And thank you for the word count! It is much appreciated!)[/i][/size][/columns]
