Poem!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ummmm.... my attempt at a poem. Anyone care to read?
It doesn't exactly have a title; I was just listening to a CD and this came to me.
They come,
Strong and fierce.
They come,
Wise and brave.
From the dawn of time,
They come.
Many battles have they seen,
And many things they have been.
Watch for them!
In the heat of battle,
In the rage of war,
They come.
Protection and Guidance
They bring.
Knowledge and Power
They bring.
Feat them not!
For they are you—<br>And we are them.
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups

Reminds me of something of a raptor clan or such. Whichever, descriptive, I love it esk. Specially how it ends...thank you.

Thank you for sharing, Esk.

The Shining Black-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First- Let me apologize for not responding eariler- I'm home for the next few days with the intention of finishing up this sculpture piece that is currently the center of my existence. As soon as the paint dries, I'll take some photos and send them off to the right honorable Cap'n to post here- I finally figured out what the sculpture is of: It's the soul face of Quetzal Noir. As soon as I get this thing over with I promise to head over to the RP and write many, many odd things.
Az- the poem was beyond. Extreme power and movement and hope and grace- Thank you for sharing. Here is my response-
Swimming against Time's tides
we advance
Across the Spans
we race-
Our strides building heat
The Wheel turns
we count the beads and bones
hiding in packs
and alone
watching and waiting
We shimmer our excitement
uniting with others of our kind
grinning Evolution's smile
in the dark
We were away
for so long
returning to surroundings
mired in ignorance and greed
We ache with vengence
upon those
that would lead this place to ruin
over pointless gains
We twitch and flex
mastering new skills and talents
standing ready at the Gate-
to serve as instruments of balance.

Re: The Shining Black-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hmm...like bluebird, I am puzzling over Snipe's poem and will probably re-read it numerous times and ponder it. My first impression is that it deals with specifically the saurians on Dinotopia. We look back in time to the dinosaurs yet advance to the saurians seen on Dinotopia who have defied evolution in the traditional sense. United those saurians stand against those who would ruin that existence. The wisdom of the dinosaurs gives the necessary balance to maintain the status quo. Hmmm...now I am re-reading my own reply and it is almost as puzzling as Snipe's poem. lol
Anyway, Snipe, I look forward to seeing your sculpture. Heehee, I understand how something like that could become the center of your existence. That is how I felt when I was writing my Journal.
Right now, my children are the center of my existence as they start school on Monday so we've been cramming activities and just time together into these last few days (which is why I haven't been on the boards or the rp much).
Thank you both Az and Snipe for sharing.

Snipe's poem
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lol for some reason snipe I saw your poem in the form of a shoal of fish, migrating and returning to a certain place.. perhaps salmon.. with their "Mastering skills" (Aka tackling waterfalls and currents), oh well I enjoyed it! Lol. Centre of my life... hmmmm... have to be worriny about getting a job.. *Sigh* found out my sadderly doesn't need anymore people at the moment.

Leafy saw fish and I saw dinosaurs. I think that is the mark of a great poem and a gifted poet (a compliment to Snipe ::grin:: ) allowing the reader to visualize what the imagery represents to themselves.

Re: The Shining Black-

Whoa. Amazing. Snipe, that has to be your best poem yet. *prints it out with plans for it and her new art desk*
I saw the spirits of ancient warriors come to guide their descendants. Then again, that could be because that is what my poem was about...
Anywho, I've got another poem! Again, no title. >_< I'm really bad about making titles...
Heat and steam
Run, run, run
As fast as you can.
Thirst fills mouth
Water undrinkable makes mud
Mud traps.
Ferns grab, vines choke
Trees looming, mist falling.
Green light, brown earth
Journey near end.
Trees part, mud hardens.
Grassy field.
Saurian bones.
Lay down.
Rest.
Breath Deep, Peace has come.

Well, personally I visualized a Tyrannosaur warrior running through the Basin, possibly after a battle.
Thank you for sharing, Az.
Hmm, I wonder if Snipe is ever going to let us in on the meaning of his poem???!!!
