Short Rhyme. Written on impulse for wild lorwolves of various users on Discord.

Consists of: Poem, Rhyme.
Topic: Wolf concept.
Quote:

True treasure.

Red lacquer and gilded jade
brings thousand lanterns, set ablaze.
But a sheltered ponds among rivers
still winds along autumn zither.
For summer fire blinks away
when time's squandered day by day.

Quote:

Given freely.

Bleeding with a sky-stained blue,
windblown gold forms life anew.
Many have been raised to bear
down on water they still snare.
Brought to knees, the land now burns
As what is given must return.

Quote:

Courage in truth

Quiet is the sprouting foe,
who dares defy the grasping snow,
For silver mist devours the hand,
that dares to feed the death of lands.
But ever burns the voice within,
and lends its strength to defy their kin.

Quote:

Pledged purity.

Silken fairies of fleeting growth,
offered wings in winter oaths.
Thus they spared the flower's sweet
'till the flute twists from wind's deceit.
For spring is but a blink at dawn
and hearts don't follow life as drawn.

Quote:

Passing Nostalgia.

A silent specters's mumble
glints like stolen gold might tumble
over sunstained memories
of hidden roads behind the trees.
Where broken stones made a history
tracing dappled paint. A victory
glimpsed in the mighty hands
of time which leaves the long lost lands.

Quote:

Brush born tidings.

Reflection of palms in the sky
scattered when a wave passes by.
Clouds weave under roots and bay
chasing fish and fowl in play.
For where water reached onto land,
castles will be build of sand
to follow where the wind has been
an echo of the life within.

Quote:

Good Night

Wings scatter evening showers,
flitting through the fading hours.
Blink goes the curtain. Tucked in
to wipe away where light has been.
As all birds of night must roost:
Standing in their still salute
Once more a day dwindles down,
robbing stations of their sound.

Quote:

Halowed ideals:

A hero's power reflects in rain:
Cuts evening hours till none remain.
Simple life springs from love, so sure,
ease it brings, but not a cure.
As misted minds will cloud the way,
wretched wants find roads astray.
But all must cross the darkened night
if not to lose the breath of light.

Quote:

All strangers are forgotten friends.

Welcome, my guest, of long lost time,
into our nest, to wine and dine.
Worn, you must be, for travel took
you past the seas and sun-downed brooks.
Eat. Take a seat of honor here:
Speak of your feats, in worlds we fear.
Celebrate all ends we must,
for each tale shall return to dust.

Quote:

Despair is best served cold.

Made to embrace wicked chances,
ever chasing gambled glances,
I follow gleams of past delight
into a dream of stunted flight.

For all the bold does is bewitch
my ear. Unfolds red to feed sick
minds through winged rides. Spurs looping slides
forth to collide with swollen strife.

I've sown sorrow, reaped claws traced deep
through tomorrow's time. Now I weep,
deprived of rest. But fear blooms still
in empty chests when passion chills.

For our sweet haze drives distraction,
kills lasting ways of satisfaction.

[/size][/font][/center] [quote name="Islet" date="2023-09-23 02:09:26" ] [font=Courier New]Let me write an ode to baking, something I like to do in my spare time. Baking is like bringing a slice of sunlight into the depth of winter, like the kiss of nutmeg and clove crunching like hot ice under bright lemon slices.

What strikes me about it, is that there is no true perfection, which means there is no failure, no true loss, so all good effort feels like a victory to even the most critical of minds. In a way, you can fight the battle beforehand: By seeking to know yourself or the enemy and beating all that is wrong with the world into the creamy batter, such that you can sit in stillness after, to watch it all smooth out and swell in the oven like a promise kept and come true. In this way, it holds the qualities of a good companion, as sharing time with it may calm your heart enough to turn your mind to reflection. It may challenge your skills and bring joy to all around you. The wait as muffins bloom out of its tray is one of excited anticipation and worry, like cheering your loved ones on for a marathon, supporting them along the way and finally waving your banners at the finish line as they cross. The best thing however, is how it is an adventure. A small one, but nevertheless it remains one that is even better when shared with friends. The making of something sweet, but also the indulgence afterwards: There is something deeply satisfying about creating something with love and providing that as a treat for yourself and others.

Consists of: Poem, Rhyme.
Topic: Various.
Quote:

A sorrow has scored deep into
what will or has oft made my mood:
It lays broken like lights of days
fade unspoken to lose its way.
Snow sits heavy on roofs to block
the sound, steady tap of clocks.
Still, fire crawls when it should leap
against these walls. My canvas speaks
yet cannot tell, for it's turned

the wrong way around.

Quote:


Hello!

Hope you have a lovely year,
with great company and cheer.
Wish for dragons to be fed,
receive warm pats on the head,
with rich style, stories and lair,
and all the love you can spare.
Above these cool in-game claims,
I want you to have the same
and more so: Please be well,
amazing, delightful, swell,
and have room to think, try, grow,
fail, change, learn and chase your dreams.

Farewell, again, until then:
Take care of your year my friend.
