NerdyAarakocra Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 Hello! Prompt: You're out in <INSERT FANTASY WORLD HERE> in the jungle. A thunderstorm has broken, and while searching for shelter, you find a village that wasn't there before... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2EmLee2 Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 Oooo, what about: The feeling of hope; the feeling that everything will be okay- but it won’t just be ok, it will be amazing. Everything was absolutely terrible before, but it’s taking a full 180. It’s both calm and energetic, graceful, fast, and slow all at the same time. It’s a powerful feeling, and it feels like nothing in the world can stop the future from turning in your favor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telrao Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 I'm here now >:D Have a poem: The road meanders ahead, The lonely road that stretches Far over the frosted land. An owl hoots as the sun sets, Beads of glimmering fire Set in the frozen trees. The snow crunches beneath each step Glimmering crystals shattering, Glittering even in death. Soft thumps echo, Through the lonely valley Up the next hill, And through the trees. It follows the road, Lonely and cold Towards a warm cabin. My home. (I know it has like no rhyme or rhythm but uhhh yems) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Blossom Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 Okay I got inspired by @Telrao and when I was younger I had this thing where I loved writing poems so here is one I wrote years ago: The silky white blanket coated the ground The first snowfall falling silently, Like floating feathers all around The bare trees, covered with soft, cold cotton The once autumn leaves, now forgotten With a slight chill in the air Snow rests upon the ground with care On the branches, icicles are found As if they were frozen in mid-reach to the ground Listen closely, you’ll hear a faint hum, Whispering quietly, “Winter has come” And here is one I wrote for school a year or so ago: The battered bay who Never sees morning glory Enclosed in a tarnished stall. Ridden and worked, day after day, Speckled with dirt and a hirsute coat Not clipped for the summer. This mare, treated unfairly, Never to see the green pastures to graze Or the sun, a flower in full bloom overhead. I trace my fingers along The venerable cuts on her side, Where the spur kicked too hard. The old horse heaves a sigh In pain and relief, I saw this horse and took pity upon her, So I let her free. ... Pick whichever you feel more inspired to do <33 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wandering Wizard Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 Creaking back, bending back Tension tight, hold it there Releasing, follow through Watch the sight, feel it hit See it dip below the yellow Turn in mind, what went wrong Creak back string Release again See it hit, the golden yellow Try again, that perfect shot Once again, fall short Try again, again, and again Feel the calm that settles inside Follow through, all golden yellow Turn in to rest, Fingers blistered, muscles sore Yet a acceptance of events, flows through you And you can sleep soundly once more 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shining Silhouette Posted February 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 (edited) BEFORE WE BEGIN WITH THE NEXT ROUND OF RECORDINGS I'D JUST LIKE TO APOLOGIZE FOR MY TITLES On 2/8/2023 at 7:19 PM, Kajsa said: "You're a castaway princess turned bounty hunter after your older brother was murdered by the person you most trusted. On your journey to find lost friends, you stumble upon ruins of a town, still smoking, burning, crumbling. There's something bigger out there, and you realize you may be the only one with the knowledge and capability to fight it. Will you turn back and risk your life to warn your people who hate you of the threat, or will you stand by, keeping your own life out of more trouble, and watch everything and everyone you loved burn?" In "Castaway" I embraced the drama. It's a ruined, smoking, CRUMBING castle for storming's sake. I kind of thought of this as the protagonist's call to adventure—her epic moment where she finally decides if she will be the heroine she was destined to be and redeem her older brother.

A thunderstorm has broken, and while searching for shelter, you find a village that wasn't there before... For "Thunder Adventures" I used the upper registers of the piano for the rain and the lower BASS to communicate the enormity and grandness of thunder. It's pretty clear when the protagonist actually finds the village as the tone of the piece totally shifts, but I thought this one was really fun!

I think it's so filled with hope and joy and such good vibes that this is one of my favorites.

Soft thumps echo, Through the lonely valley Up the next hill, And through the trees. It follows the road, Lonely and cold Towards a warm cabin. My home. "Frozen Walk" is divided into two sections. The first part tells the story of "snow crunches" and "crystals shattering" "glittering even in death" then it calms down into "soft thumps [that] echo". This section builds a little bit until (how I picture it in my head, at least), the "camera" finally pans towards the warm cabin, alone among the frozen land.

I know you love Archery, Wiz, so I tried to capture what it means to practice over and over again until you get it. I love the last line "and you can sleep soundly once more". And that's another round of prompts! I hope you all enjoy! Feel free to keep them coming. I can't promise they'll be done as promptly as this, but I'll do my best!

Elf Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) 1. Loving someone you know you can never have. Longing for them, dreaming of them, aching to hold them, but knowing your feelings will never be reciprocated 2. When the world beats you down, you stand straight. Because what you are hoping for is not a strength to beat others down or repel others, but rather a strength that allows you to quietly endure hurtful things and be stronger for it. 3. This quote- "I swear to you to think too much is a disease, an actual real disease"- Notes from Underground You can take any of these or none of these! Up to you! : D no pressure Edited February 11, 2023 by Elf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I DO have very long and rather skiny arms It's alright. I like biking even more. I am a rather crazy cylist enthusiast I have a prompt for you @Shining Silhouette if you want to try. Perhaps you'd like to try putting music to Shatter Me? :eyes: Spoiler Shatter me Tear me down Shove me to the brink Toss me over Send me careening into the depths of Fear Loneliness Depression Suicide Take my fear Rip it Twist it Grow it into vines Strangle me in the fear of Myself Love Laughter Joy The Light Living Take my bridges Shatter them Rip them Set them on fire Leave me stranded when the storms come Alone Alone Alone Send the storms Hide me from sight in their embrace The smothering blackness Let it seep inside Choke out the light Let the rain freeze, me The lightning strike, me I don't care Anymore Anymore Anymore Take me to the eye of the storm Show the bleakness before The utter darkness to come Shove me into the darkness Show me there is no other choice No other way There never was any light, only darkness That this is the only option, to end it on my terms It’s time to say goodbye There never was another way Never Never Never Shatter Me, God Grind my bones under pestle and mortar Flay me past death Send me into the Abyss So that I can truly See Learn Grow Change Help Hope Love Break this tainted glass Rip out the blinders Obliterate my perfect little world Crumple me with pain O how did I not see it before Cries my soul As I truly see for the first time Their fear Their pain Their struggles Send me their pain Make me their rock Dump it all on me Watch it shatter me Overwhelm me to paralysis Bring back my demons Start to drag me under once more How do you help How How How Send me deeper Shatter me some more Set the world upon my shoulders Keep a steadying hand nearby as I fall Catch the world and put it back Show me that I can Encourage Support Help Teach Shatter me So that I can help Tear me down So I can grow back stronger Shove me to the brink So I can see them Toss me over To save them Send me careening into the depths To bring them back Fear Open your eyes Loneliness You are never alone Depression I am here Suicide Give a hug There is light Help Hope Love Beauty 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
