Dump for all things I write for ww's. Might link this on Flight Rising if I remember. I'm Islet #582838 there.

for PZM [#7361]'s 160899

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.

for PZM [#7361]'s 144895

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.

-Islet #582838

For Ram [#7202]'s 31922 (before sprinkler)

Given freely.

Bleeding with a sky-stained blue,

windblown gold forms life anew.

Many have been raised to bear

down on water they now snare.

Brought to knees, the land now burns

As what is given must return.

-Islet #582838

For Ram [#7202]'s 31922 (after sprinkler)

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.
