Welcome to the third 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: Can I write fills without leaving any prompts, or leave prompts without writing any fills?
A: Go ahead!
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: Can I prompt/write original works?
A: Original works are a fandom! If you want, you can specify genre and character types while prompting, like so: original fantasy setting, female elf/female orc, next time I won't miss.
Q: I want to participate, but I don't have a dreamwidth account/I'm shy.
A: That's okay--anonymous posting is on.
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.

Date: 2019-03-28 12:41 am (UTC)Now hours repeat, and I miss the sky.
Death in the Yeerk pool, an underground hell.
Rebirth seeking a home of bliss: the sky.
Shot down by a Blade ship above the clouds.
Falling through this endless abyss, the sky.
They capture me, infest me; I awake.
They conquer the Earth, but dismiss the sky.
A Taxxon's tongue lashes out, pulls me down.
I hear, behind its mocking hiss, the sky.
Jake tells me of other realities.
Do you know, sympathizer Niss, the sky?
I'll try to bias our odds tomorrow.
Nothing survives today but this, the sky.

Date: 2019-03-29 10:46 am (UTC)Watching you loop a brother’s loop
Rouses a pang that shouldn’t be
Since I’m the trick and you’re the dupe.
Ah, buckoo, you may jump that hoop
But the next will grieve you and me
Watching you loop a brother’s loop
If I unmasked, now, would you stoop
And beg from the heart for your Dee?
In vain, in vain, you nincompoop.
There he dies again. With a whoop
Tuesday claims you in heartless glee,
Watching you loop a brother’s loop.
You love him so - hardly a scoop -,
Once I told mine, I shall save thee,
In vain, in vain, you nincompoop.
Oh, screw it – you - that maple goop!
I’m switching it for strawberry,
Watching you loop a brother’s loop
In vain, in vain, you nincompoop.

Date: 2019-03-31 05:20 am (UTC)Suzaku/Lelouch (Code Geass)
Date: 2019-04-01 03:10 am (UTC)Suzaku has lived
through the Zero Requiem
countless times now.
Every time,
he makes the wrong decisions
and Lelouch always dies.
The images haunt him,
and none of it
ever becomes any easier.
He's searching
for some sort of answer;
some solution in the end.
But Lelouch still dies
in his arms,
like it's meant to be.
He's tried kissing him,
and even leaving,
but it always ends the same.
The time he kissed him,
Lelouch told him that he loves him,
and that just makes it worse.
After the hundredth
agonizing time,
Suzaku almost decides it's hopeless.
But he can't,
because even if this is all a dream,
he can't give up on Lelouch.
It feels like it’s been years
when Suzaku finally starts to see
what fate has been trying to show him.
There’s no universe
where they can be together.
There’s no universe where they’re meant to be.
