We had a nice evening, reading out our poems. Good turnout, and thank you for joining.

We started with a lovely poem from Reywal. With those writing skills, I am sure he will soon find the one he so longs to marry!


Then a poem from a lady I do not know that well - Her name is T'lara - but she was an exellent writer, and I hope she will join us again.


Esca wrote a poem about his .. or one of his?.. White Wyrm. My personal favorite.


Though I must say.. even though Esca's was really good - Becca did a GREAT job, making us all laugh. This poem was really funny and it was her first! Well done Becca!


Sorry that I did not get to write more or Hedlyn's poem down. But it was so long - good, but long - so I wrote so fast, I could not even read my own handwriting today! Well done, Hedlyn - I know how much work you put into this.


Gia made.. or made someone make - a poem about herself. I think it fits you, Gia.


Another long poem from Adam - it was really good - and also the winner! He won 3000 coins to spend on his beloved, Alraune, who also joined us with a poem of her own.



My own poem, which I first read without Jake being there.. But Becca called me back later that evening - I thought I was going back to work - but.. Something quite alot better happened. And though Adam won the competition.. I feel like I won it all. *smiles*


(Not the best screenies, I know, but it was quite hard, since UOSU didnt work so it was print screen, open paint, paste, save, new etc.)
Thank you again, everyone.

Escaflowne: The Breath of Winter
Escaflowne: *lets out a breath*
Escaflowne: The end...
Escaflowne: Im just playing
Escaflowne: Ahem
Escaflowne: The Breath of Winter....
Escaflowne: The snow was white
Escaflowne: the day was cold
Escaflowne: There she lay
Escaflowne: a beast of old
Escaflowne: In a cave next to the sea
Escaflowne: I froze as her beauty stunned me

Escaflowne: With wings spread wide like sails
Escaflowne: She stood tall in the icy gale
Escaflowne: Reflecting the sun with her great white scales
Escaflowne: Covering her body to the tip of the tail

Escaflowne: And if you travel to Ice Island
Escaflowne: She can be seen in the skies flying
Escaflowne: Watching over the creatures below
Escaflowne: So brave, so noble, with a pure white glow

Escaflowne: Her eyes shimmer blue and breath numbing to feel
Escaflowne: with razor sharp claws of glacial steel
Escaflowne: Aryn the Frostweaver is her name
Escaflowne: a great white wyrm that feels no pain
Escaflowne: And so about her this poem i told
Escaflowne: Never have i met a being so bold.......
Escaflowne: *Closes the book*

Rebecca: Is good for the heart
Rebecca: It gives the stomach ease..
Rebecca: It warms the bed on a wintry night
Rebecca: and suffocates the fleas.
Rebecca: The end!

Hedlyn ap Rhyn: *Shuffles uncomfortably.*
Hedlyn ap Rhyn: Roi'.
Hedlyn ap Rhyn: Aaahah! More entrants!
Hedlyn ap Rhyn: *Leans on the wall and crosses his feet idly.*
Hedlyn ap Rhyn: S'about Fairies.... an' how 'evil t'ey are....
Hedlyn ap Rhyn: Especially t'ree centermeter tall ones...
Hedlyn ap Rhyn: Roit.
Hedlyn ap Rhyn: *Swigs his ale and pulls out a bit of parchment.*
Hedlyn ap Rhyn: *Clears his throat... best Britannian accent...*
Hedlyn ap Rhyn: There is a place lost in the trees, the wind neglects to send it's breeze,
Hedlyn ap Rhyn: The sun it's golden beams mislaid... for they ne'er find, the Fairy Glade!

Hedlyn ap Rhyn: The wisp's alight the dingy road, their quick mischief a myth of old!
Hedlyn ap Rhyn: That draws the weary traveller near... "Cometh ye! And have not fear!"

Hedlyn ap Rhyn: *Swigs on his ale, shuffling from foot to foot.*
Hedlyn ap Rhyn: And when the cunning pixies hear... bewitch themselves as MAIDS appear!
Hedlyn ap Rhyn: To lure their victims further forth... entrancin' them with no remorse!

Hedlyn ap Rhyn: Then the crawling vines will tangle! Barb like thorns will soft flesh mangle!
Hedlyn ap Rhyn: And though he screams... it does no good! For he is lost... in Raven's Wood.

Hedlyn ap Rhyn: *Swigs ale!*
Hedlyn ap Rhyn: Carrion rooks with cloaks of jet, as evil as any fiend does get!
Hedlyn ap Rhyn: Raucus cries of hollow laughter.... ringing in his ears 'ere after!

Hedlyn ap Rhyn: *Turns the page over.*
Hedlyn ap Rhyn: *Throat clearance.*
Hedlyn ap Rhyn: Though next h casts his gaze... on she! The Fae Queen sat aloft her tree,
Hedlyn ap Rhyn: Eternal beauty... temptress eyes! Dark as her heart, or winter skies.

Hedlyn ap Rhyn: *Sips*
Hedlyn ap Rhyn: Her gown so fine and black as sin! A jar to keep her lost souls in,
Hedlyn ap Rhyn: Crimson lips and skin of pearl; spectrum wings gleam red unfurled!

Hedlyn ap Rhyn: The way is lost.... his end is nigh! Her raven swarm it fills the sky!
Hedlyn ap Rhyn: The shreiking jet of FANG! And Claw!....
Hedlyn ap Rhyn: Have come to seal.... his nevermore!
Hedlyn ap Rhyn: *strikes a dramatic pose!*
Hedlyn ap Rhyn: .... Alroit, s'done.

Adammair Walker: *deep breath*
Adammair Walker: the innkeep's daughter
Adammair Walker: summer sweet with season's breeze
Adammair Walker: as i rode beside the water
Adammair Walker: weary way, i sought my ease
Adammair Walker: And I found the innkeep's daughter

Adammair Walker: Upon the shore, a hostel bright
Adammair Walker: beside the summer water
Adammair Walker: i stopped to pass a lonely night
Adammair Walker: at the hearth of the innkeep's daughter

Adammair Walker: i was far from home in a land unknown
Adammair Walker: a plaec of white-capped water
Adammair Walker: and i traveled then all alone
Adammair Walker: till i found the innkeep's daughter

Adammair Walker: within her tavern bright and warm
Adammair Walker: mid the sound of cresting water
Adammair Walker: fair of hair and sweet of form
Adammair Walker: i kissed the innkeep's daughter

Adammair Walker: and she was wild and grandly free
Adammair Walker: as we lay beside the water
Adammair Walker: and i loved her as she loved me
Adammair Walker: all night with the innkeep's daughter

Adammair Walker: and passion's flame was ne'er so bright
Adammair Walker: nor deep as ocean's water
Adammair Walker: as when i bedded her that night
Adammair Walker: the lovely innkeep's daughter

Adammair Walker: but when i woke within the inn
Adammair Walker: dawn light upon the water
Adammair Walker: it was a ruin i lay within
Adammair Walker: no sign of the innkeep's daughter

Adammair Walker: so then i wondered in the land
Adammair Walker: beside that adrk, depe water
Adammair Walker: and walked upon the lonely strand
Adammair Walker: to seek the innkeep's daughter

Adammair Walker: and all the tales folks tell to me
Adammair Walker: say the inn beside the water
Adammair Walker: fell ages ago ato an angry sea
Adammair Walker: that drowned the innkeep's daughter

Adammair Walker: and now i know i shall not find
Adammair Walker: in this land beside the water
Adammair Walker: my rest again nor peace of mind
Adammair Walker: till i touch the innkeep's daughter

Adammair Walker: and all my days shall come to this
Adammair Walker: beside the winter water
Adammair Walker: that i shall seek sweet death's kiss
Adammair Walker: onthe grave of the innkeep's daughter
Adammair Walker: *small smile*

Alraune Kestrel: We all know that too much of a good thing can spell disaster
Alraune Kestrel: So here is a poem to remind us about excess...
Alraune Kestrel: It is called
Alraune Kestrel: Emerald Drops
Alraune Kestrel: One in all does give a lord
Alraune Kestrel: An ease to day's hard trials
Alraune Kestrel: Two is not to be ignored
Alraune Kestrel: As drowsiness beguiles
Alraune Kestrel: Three enfolds in loving sleep
Alraune Kestrel: Four to dreamless bliss
Alraune Kestrel: Five, a heated stroke to reap
Alraune Kestrel: In ecstasy's bold kiss.
Alraune Kestrel: Six the darkness takes control,
Alraune Kestrel: Wrapped in nightmare's cape,
Alraune Kestrel: Seven racks the form and soul,
Alraune Kestrel: To pray for end's escape
Alraune Kestrel: Eight, an answer to the call
Alraune Kestrel: Death the sweetest drop of all.
Alraune Kestrel: *smiles smokily*

Angelica Wish: Van - my man had done it again
Angelica Wish: When he was home some weeks ago
Angelica Wish: He bedded a barmaid, a woman I know

Angelica Wish: And I thought to myself... hit Van where it hurts!

Angelica Wish: Have had this crush for quite a while, on Van's friend, who makes me smile
