Multifandom Poetry Fest 2018



Welcome to the second annual Multifandom Poetry Fest, a prompt fest for poetry for all fandoms! Have fun, and if you want to promote it on your journal/tumblr/whatever, you can just copy the code in this box:



Rules

1) Leave a prompt in the form of fandom, characters or relationships, prompt. If you don’t want to specify the fandom or characters, you can say "any." One prompt per comment. Leave as many prompts as you like.

2) Reply to other people’s prompts with poems. The poems can be any length or form, or no form. Quality isn’t important--the point is to have fun, not to produce deathless works of art. (Any deathless works of art produced are just a bonus.)

FAQ

Q: I want to write a sonnet/haiku/villanelle/limerick, but I’m not sure how it goes.

A: You can find a good list of poetic forms and their structures here.

Q: I want to fill a prompt, but someone else has already filled it.

A: That’s okay, prompts can be filled multiple times.

Q: I want to write explicit erotica, or a poem with potentially disturbing themes. Is that okay, and what sort of content do I need to warn for?

A: Sure, that's fine. Warnings are up to you, and choosing not to warn is okay too.

Q: How long is the fest going to be running for?

A: Currently, I don't have any plans to close this post to comments--I figure we'll keep going until everyone gets bored and wanders off. I reserve the right to change my mind, though.

Q: Is there a collection on AO3 where I can post my poems?

A: Right here.

Q: I want to participate, but I suck at writing poetry.

A: Aww, you’re probably not as bad as you think. But even if you are, it really doesn’t matter--like I said, the main point is to have fun.

The creatures of Attolia's fair court
some kept for pleasure only, some for sport
to chase unwanted villains from the grounds
and then return to give a full report

But in among these baying, howling hounds,
there's one most fierce and loyal in his rounds
He'll take no time to sleep or drink or sing
too lofty for such ordinary sounds

Of course, when one is set to guard a king
one cannot rest or stop for anything
Or else his queen will fix him with a look
and he will feel her disappointment's sting

And so this dog must play it by the book
pay penance for the foolish swing he took
do what he can to keep himself afloat
until perhaps one day he's off the hook.

So this is not to patronize or gloat
for soldiers all must trail their master's coat
But rather, future punishments to thwart
or play the sheepdog to the royal goat.

(I tried my hand at a Rubaiyat for this one - kind of fun!)

冬岭风起寒彻骨
夜暗前路雪茫茫
忽见远处似有火
原是梅树崖边长
木枝指向崖下城
灯亮花红胜蜡光
霜衬片霙绝如幻
梦醒御床残留芳

Noi ci siamo inginocchiati,
Al suolo di marmo, fresco, chiaro
Vetrata colorata rifranto
Alla espressione-- mi, e ti.
"Che meraviglia," mi dicesti
"A tuo pastura lei ho condotto--"
E la tua pelle como Gioiello,
Zaffiri, rubini, l'oro santi.
"Beato sono," a mi dicesti.
Lo beato, amico, sono io,
L'acqua calma di tu anima
(Il rifugio che mi offristi
In cui ho pascolato, nascondo)
Pace, Pace-- e vita eterna.

The Hardest Fight

Fighting is all I know,
All I ever wanted,
All I ever loved.
But then I met you,
And I want
And I love

Fighting is all I know,
All I ever wanted,
All I ever loved,
All I'm good at.
You make me want to be
More
Better
Anything you need me to be
I'll try for it
I'll fight for it
For you

Fighting is all I know,
All I ever wanted,
All I ever loved.
I am the most best at it.
I can't be other than who I am,
But if you needed me to,
I'd out-punch all the giants for you.

there are roses blooming under
your skin. i trace them with breath
& fingers, watch the petals unfold
through your blood, a garden-grown
death like no other. you come from
white stone cloisters & soft-singing
fountains, know nothing of the sea
& her depths that swallow light, the
sea & her fingers that wove into my
lungs long ago, infected them with
saltwater & did not release me. now,
(we) the sea & her waves hunger to
swallow (you &) all this illumination.
(you &) the flowers that you twine
into my hair, the desire in me unknown,
unlit. (you &) your inhalation of gold,
exhalation of silver. all this light

(& you & you & you.)

I don't need to ask, I observe
you say,
and I
still reeling from the steel
in your gaze,
brace for the blow.

You've seen, now
my secrets
shame and shouting, spoiled
child I was
and might still be
beneath the muscle.

A father never
home, a woman
paid to care
framed photos of happy lies
and fire
lurking like cobwebs in the corners.

A big house you say,
and food, too much. You are-
I wait
-an orphan
the last one left
unloved.
So sad.


The words are wrong
and yet
this dream,
less empty with you in it
may prove them true
after all.

A lone owl, pine trees;
by the lake I walk closer -
you send me away.
But your wings disappear and
morning finds me in your arms.

Wings

[personal profile] elleth 2018-04-22 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
In sleep they carried you
Further than waking allowed. The sky and the lakes
And the air, yours to roam wide until
Waking.

In death they carry you
Further than even dreams can. The Birds' Path,
In swanwings' wake, should feel like freedom, until
Sleeping.

In life they'll carry you
Further than ever before. From ice to sky again,
Fluttering backwards into open spring air, until
Returning.

What secrets ever live, that are not kept
By men who force our will to hold their peace,
And women’s fault in ignorance I wept:
A maiden’s virtuous words heard least.

Virtue? A child in my fathers house,
I’d none and no escape. I had to wait.
No longer am I a blushing maiden-mouse.
You dare protect me now? Thou’rt far too late.

I live in fear. A fear of silver eyes
That swore obedience into every grave,
Demanding all our silence for your lies.
I am not yours to quiet nor to save.

What’s to lose? Our suffering was no mischance.
Our fathers are all dead. Cousin, lets dance.
