Colombina's Grotto

Postby Gale Austin McCenry on January 14th, 2013, 5:11 am



This was really difficult for me so don't judge, I tried my best. :P


"The wind brushed against his skin and clothes but left as soon as it came, leaving only the sensation of longing behind."

I'm sorry, it's 22 words but I tried my best to make it short. It just didn't make sense without the extra 2 words.

EDIT: Oh snap, I forgot the mermaids! How could I forget the mermaids? Duh.

This is part I I believe of a Mermaid poem made in 1830 by Alfred Lord Tennyson. If you want the rest then just type in Mermaid poem, Alred Tennyson and it'll pop up for you.

"WHO would be
A mermaid fair,
Singing alone,
Combing her hair
Under the sea,
In a golden curl
With a comb of pearl,
On a throne?"

Colombina's Grotto

Beautiful exercise, Bina! I've really loved reading what everyone has come up with. Here's my first attempt:

Whimsical waters swept the lily along,
allowing it to pause at the river's divide
as if there was a choice.

So, I really like this idea! Here's my go.

She smiled sadly, and shrugged, "I was OK with settling."

"Bina," the mouse choked out between sobs, picking up the last crumb of cheese. "Why you go cray cray?"

One more.

At the spray of dark blood as the bandage came off, the doctor tsked, "That's an awfully big hole," sounding a little too pleased.

"It is fine," he said, staring blankly into the precipice while she clutched the empty blanket, "Knights cannot be born disfigured."


This ended up grim...

This PC has the Blight gnosis. As such, you as a player need to be aware of what that consists of. Wrenmae has an invisible aura that amplifies sickness and disease. Wounds may become infected, small sneezes may become coughing, and a slight fever may become more serious. A nuit's body will also break down faster in the presence of the Blight. These effects may not be immediate, but within the few days following your encounter, the symptoms will manifest. Some sooner than others. I cannot control your character, so creativity will be left up to you. Best wishes and stay healthy!

Watching her lose her life would have been less painful for him than watching her lose her mind and heart.


mermaid picture?
There's something strangely familiar about this one. ;)

Thank you for the exercise Bina.

"The rose of happiness is hard to pluck, the thorns of man tainted by poison. Death would surely come. But those who journey for the rose die with worth."

A blitz Poem told in the perspective of Xavior:

"Intelligence of Destruction"

Growing a rose
Growing intelligence
Intelligence of Man
Intelligence of the fearful
Fearful of a prick
Fearful of poison
Poison of man
Poison of thorns
Thorns that inject
Thorns that are deadly
Deadly to all
Deadly to seek
Seek eternal life
Seek the rose
Rose of promise
Rose of happiness
Happiness sought
Happiness brings peace
Peace is wished for
Peace is fulfillment
Fulfillment of purpose
Fulfillment rarely found
Found dead
Found Alone
Alone rose waits
Alone people die
Die finding peace
Die on a journey
Journey through life
Journey to the unknown
Unknown fear
Unknown truth
Truth scares
Truth discourages
Discourages man
Discourages the weak
Weak never make it
Weak stay away
Away from promise
Away it wilts
Wilts forgotten
Wilts with man
Man created rose
Man afraid of creation
Creation of solitude
Creation of unity
Unity destroyed
Unity forgotten
Forgotten...
Destroyed...
Life is what you make of it. Why not make it a piece of art that lasts till the end of time?

THANK YOU! *smiles cheesily*

haha, but really, thanks, bina! Procrastination has taken me hostage the last couple of days, but I really do appreciate the post template.

Now, all the scraps, and OOC post I do have a new, shiny template!

Well here we go!

"That, my dear," he flipped to the next page, "Is a tale for another day."

Wretched Aura: As a Wretched One Evalin possesses an unnatural aura about her that causes unease in those who get too close. It can come as a prickle of the hair on the back of the neck, a sense of 'wrongness' about her. How people experience it is different depending on their personality and how they handle the unnatural and unknown. Animals tend to become more agitated, more easily sensing how wrong Evalin is and often avoiding contact with her.
