Zerg

Eternity (Scape)

Sit within the cooling waters, watch the dragonflies buzz above
Close your eyes and dream a dream, where eternity is endless
Among the tall grass you find a great meadow, where they play
Pink winged dragonflies, racing to catch one another in the sky
Eternally bound here, they are free to live the life they wanted
Golden sunlight bathes their armored bodies, giving them hope
Only one day to live in the real world, so they make the best of it
And what more could you ask for? The dragonflies seize their day
The eternal meadow of dragonflies awaits all who wish to dream it

I love what you've written.

I love what you've written. May I request one of my deer? I don't want to ask too much, because I want you to feel free to take artistic liberties, but I'd love if the theme was related to my deer losing control of its plants. It's a darker aspect of my deer I rarely explore here, but if my deer is not careful the plants will take over its body, either rooting its body to the ground until it no longer resembles a deer, or attaching it to another tree or plant. If you're okay with this, I'd love to see how you interpret this trait of my deer. Smiling

(And, you can refer to my deer as Rune/he/him if you need to.<3)

Never Look Back (Joe)

There was a time you were fully happy
There were no burdens, there were no tears
Only a peaceful life with the doe of your dreams
But things changed, you learned the truth
And so you ran and fell and swam

Had you ever looked at your reflection before?
Don't ever see yourself as a monster, Joe
You are a beautiful person who wrong things happen to
Keep your head up, look forward and smile with this new life
And Joe...never...never look back!




Sorry I hope this was okay. It was based on his story.

Could you write one about

Could you write one about Erza for me?

DEERTH - Forestsong

DEERTH -

Forestsong (Violet)

Listen, do you hear it?
The Forest sings a song
The trees whistle lovely tunes
All day and all night long

Rustling leaves above my head
Rattle and add to the band
Shake the little trees below
And join the fun when you can

The rippling water of the Pond
Chimes like the strings of a harp
Swimming beneath the surface
Play musicians of koi and karp

The music is all around us
Just listen for your chance to sing
The Forest loves our voices loud
Especially the joy fawns bring

The Other Side of Me

If you passed me by when I was my other self,
Would you even know it was me, the real me?
Hooves turned to roots, antlers turned to branches
Body covered in bark rather than that of fur
No eating leaves and mushrooms and pinecones
All the food I could ever need comes from the sky
And no more trips to the Pond for water, I drink from the dirt
Sadly, to any other deer who passed me by,
They would not realize there was another tree in the Forest...
And they would wonder where their dear friend had gone
If only I could tell them it was me that they passed
But my voice is only in faint whispers now,
The rustling of the leaves on my branches is all I can say...

A fawn comes and sits by my side
I wonder if she understands that I am really something else
Or if she only wanted to find a tree to sit by
All I can offer is to protect her in this state
And to whisper gentle lullabies as she falls asleep...

I suppose that is all that one could ever ask for

Bluejay17 War and Peace

Bluejay17


War and Peace (Erza)

To be the one they call the coward
To always flee from danger
This is my life, as all see it
But who is to say it is less than perfect?

I come, I sit, I think, I dream...
My eyes open up and see the world
Beauty, grace, elegance, finesse
The very aspects of life itself

So who is to say cowardice is a crime?
What is the price of the sin of being passive?
I do not know of these things, does it matter?
My life is just as it is without aggression

I move on, and see the world my own way
I see sparring bucks and frightened does
I walk away without a moment's pause
It does not interest me, I want no involvement

Find a place to sit, raise your head to the sky
See the clouds through the Forest canopy
Watch birds glide by and sunbeams caress the ground
I only offer a moment's peace, the forest is at war enough
Laruna's picture

Wow. I absolutely love it,

Wow. I absolutely love it, Quad. I love your interpretation on why such a state would be sad, yet in the end, why it would be a beautiful thing as well. I find that really inspiring. Thank you so much for taking the time to write a poem for us.<3

Go right ahead. Glad you

Go right ahead. Glad you liked it Eye

This comes naturally for me, but there are times where I'm blown away by other people's poetry. But I need to accept that I have my own style and that people really like what I write, even if I feel like it's not the best compared to more professional writers.

But that's just me babbling XD I'm at the end of the list again, anyone else want a poem?

Wow, Quad! It's stunning -

Midnightrose A Moment

Midnightrose

A Moment (Naomi)

Shadows upon fur, lines cover her like scars
Ebony and ivory drape her form elegantly
She wanders alone, her master's calling
Red eyes stare back to those who meet them
Yet this creature is much more than what she seems
To know her, one would discover a walking treasure
Do not be fooled by the tribal stripes on her body
She is no threat, she only asks for friendship
Allow her a moment's peace, just to meet her
And you will be granted a friendship eternal

I posted this one here, but for those of you who did not see it, this is for you...for the entire community I should say.


Heal

Your wings sewn back upon your body
Let the broken humerus mend itself
Stand, shake the dirt from your fur
And look deep into their eyes

Your wings did not deserve this pain
Your body is already aching from burden
Let their love fill the voids you've made
Support that could never be fabricated

Open your eyes, Quad, and see them all
These friends, all loved ones of yours
They are right, trust their words
You really do deserve better than this

The wings will heal, they have before
But it's your spirit that will take longer
Keep your head high, stay strong
Not just for them, but for you, Quad

These blessed friends, you have so many
Let them be the wind that carries you
Let them be the light you give back
And let them be the love you treasure

These are lovely~ Could I

These are lovely~
Could I request one for my character, Akemi? c:
I hope you have enough to go on from her bio . . . a good subject would probably be her amnesia.

Sure thing, that will be a

Sure thing, that will be a good topic for the poem too. Thanks for the suggestion.

I wrote one for someone else and wanted to post it here for you guys to read:

Shimmyshimmy

Gemini

Give them a bow, and get two back
Musicians of dance, hoofbeats in track
Their bodies, their movements mimic
Technique and grace is all the trick
Golden fur glistens in the sunlight
Organic faces laugh and smile bright
Their paths twine like the Celtic Knot
It requires dedication and much thought
The Twins give homage to the stars above
The constellation Gemini through dance of love
Sit and watch, be the audience they require
And secretly unlock that which you desire
Elegance and beauty painted underfoot
Watch them kick up the dirt and soot
And as the clouds envelop, they disappear
But the Twins will return, so never fear
A moment of inspiration through a dance
Never miss their show, never miss the chance

I don't know what it is. I guess the character's been wrestling for attention again lately. XD;

Anyway... could I request a poem for Darkweaver? |D;;;;

Riaa-Chan Remember

Riaa-Chan

Remember (Akemi)

Forget to remember, remember to forget
What was that word, I can't remember...
I seek out one who is just like me
But none seem to exist, I have found no other
Continue to wander, to find a reason
To wonder why I am here, and what that word was
They all stare as I walk by, I see...
Suppose they wonder why I am me
It is something I wonder myself, you see...

That word was amnesia, now I remember
But now I can't remember what it meant...
quadraptor's picture

Zergarikiaka There are...

Zergarikiaka

There are... (Darkweaver)

There are chains to keep us weighted down
There are stars to keep us staying up

There is dirt to hide our shame
There is water to cleanse our wounds

There is the wind to chill our bitter hearts
There is fire to weed out our weak

There are trees to show us the seasons
There is the sun and moon to tell time

There are mothers to give us birth
There are fathers to keep us from death

There are scars to remind us why we live
There are skulls to remind us that we die

There's a demon always hunting us down...
But there's an angel for everyone but me...

Oh my, thank you! I love it;

Oh my, thank you! I love it; especially the last two lines. ^^
I'd like to put it in her bio, if you don't mind.

010

A poem for QuadRaptor

A feather in the wind
A shot in the dark
A shield to attack
A sword to defend
A crystal within stone
A leaf of sweetest tea
A goose ready to fly
A deer among wolves
A shuriken thrown past
A target struck center
A mask covering beauty
A breath unspoken
A moment of peace
A hero forever unsung
A geologist in the making
A man with angel's wings
A distant dream awaiting
A life not yet lived

Quad...I am glad you wrote


Quad...I am glad you wrote it! <3

Ravenflight Beast of

Ravenflight

Beast of Burden

Beast of burden, cry no more
Doe of the Earth, troubled one
You take on so much, lovely doe
Don't let them overtake you, beauty
Those scars on your body, great one
Nothing more than old memories, see?
You have powers, but look all around
They all stand by your side, ready too
Let your friends fight as well, hero
This is their forest too, so you see
We're in this together, no matter what

Beast of burden, cry no more
The Forest cries enough, for us all
Stand tall and proud instead, majesty
Destiny and glory, we're all ready to share

Wow, I love all of these poems. Especially the color one. It's like, it's telling us to get our butts off the couch and go outside, to see all the colors of the natural world.

I know I have requested, like, a long long time ago, but maybe you can make a poem for FD's Nigel? I could not find the bio atm but if I ever do find it I'll post a link.
I have a Master's degree in Wumbology.

ShikaTale Silver Lullaby

ShikaTale

Silver Lullaby (Shika)

Remnants of a broken dream
Tattered shards of endless stream
Recount the days, all would seem
The lullaby of silver gleam

Oh how fragile she had seemed
Thunder flash from metal beam
Don't look back, run downstream
It is too late for those who scream

Run my child, doe of silver gleam
Run from terror, from death and ream
And without warning, you shall see
Peace, beauty, Forest for thee

And this is the lullaby of silver dream
Remnants broken, endless stream
But a happy life ahead, so it seems
Fear no longer, for you are free

Alinaquil Dedication to a

Alinaquil

Dedication to a Kirin (Juniper)

Beauty sleek, body slender
Talons sharp, what do they render?
Painted scales, mind tender
Don't look away, oh kirin defender

Ivory body decorated lovely
She nuzzles affectionately
Scared little ones run foolishly
Gentle kirin sighs desolately

She wanders on, eyes red with passion
Inspiring one, that is her mission
She meets another, begin the obsession
What will they think of the first impression?

Her dream stands before her in fascination
A creature of intent and sophistication
Their eyes stare in blank intoxication
Time to show a kirin's dedication

BluedeerLegend18 A Normal

BluedeerLegend18

A Normal Life (FireDragon's Nigel)

Sit beneath the willow tree
And watch the deer run by
Stags and does, young and old
All interesting in my eyes
Watch them play, watch them fight
Even see them fly
In this Forest I've seen it all
Of those that live and die
So now I wonder deep within
What powers inside me lie
I see so many wondrous deer
With powers and skills high
Perhaps my own potential
Would one day arise
But for now, I'll sit and watch
And enjoy a normal life
