Raffles & Giveaways

[url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/drs/2971388/1#post_46378590][img]https://imgur.com/OSmxO44.png[/img][/url] With the Council ascendant, Necromancers are seeking even more ways to show their power. Now certain Council members are beginning to sport living jewelry in the form of infected Jewelry Box Fae. More sentimental Necromancers are bestowing these expensive animated trinkets on their beloveds to enhance their standing and declare their affections. To celebrate the release of Ghoulery Box Fae let’s have a raffle! Entry is easy, just write a love poem from the point of view of one of your Necromancers (or variants). It can be to their mate in your lair or someone else’s. It can be to a secret crush or a love lost. Poems can be as long or short as you like. They can serious or silly. They don't have to rhyme and you won't be judged. Just have fun! Every entrant gets one entry (though you're welcome to write as many poems as you like!) The entry period runs until rollover on Feb 14th and the drawing will be on the 15th or 16th.

I gaze upon your lovely form: Heart Stop
You see me looking at right you: Eyes Drop
A Necromancer feared and loved: On Top
But all really need is you: Let's Swap

You're all I really need, my love
So let me lift you up, above
The dirt and grime, all night
Our love will shine, so bright

Brighter than Lightweaver's eyes: Sunshine
As long as I draw a single breath: You're Mine
Let me lay waste to your enemies: Bloodwine
Second only to the Plaguebringer: Divine

I'll destroy all things in, your way
It will be my joy, to slay
None will stand against, our pact
No enemy left, intact

Your heritage doesn't matter to me
No matter what I just want to be
----Your Love
=====Your Mate
========Your Partner
===========Your Fate

Ahh! @/SerpentineOracle I love it [emoji=mirror love size=1]

[emoji=mirror scared size=1] Poetry that others will see is something else; totally not what I'm used to haha. In case it wasn't apparent, this is a love poem by a necromancer for the Plaguebringer [emoji=mirror tongue size=1] Edit: also, second poem, because I got halfway through and scrapped it. It's from Sisyphus to Persephone (who later left the clan, and Sisyphus with their daughter), and is more of a 'heart broken' then a 'heartfelt' lol. Incomplete, but figured I'd post it, haha!

SerpentineOracle I love the rhythm of your poem! I also enjoy that seems to be able to be read in several different ways.

reotheleo This was a joy to read! It literally made me aware of my heartbeat and I was reading in time which was fascinating.

Wyldangel, thank you! Whenever I think of plague valentines all I can picture is dragons giving each other literal hearts lol.

That seems about right some how. Like preserved flavored ones. Chocolate covered for a real luxury. Now I'm glad I finished my chocolate hearts earlier!

Ooh loving the layout on poem two as well. The movement really adds to the effect^.^
