Spartan Writes Things

[SpartanBrigade He/Him]

Hi everyone! I’m a developing author and I love writing stuff 

It may not be the best but I’m still proud of it and wanna share it with you lot while I progress in skill

This is a poem I did a couple days ago

The Liar

A liar sat at a loom of mist and shadow

Spinning tales from desire and diffidence

Threads of hurt and isolation woven into spiraling tapestries 

Twisting and rising in the dark

An arras concealing a silent ache

All who looked upon the work were captivated

 Enveloped in the illusion

For just a time they could lose themselves in the magic

Cast off their doubts 

Float free of their fears

And just for a time, so could the liar

In the morning the Sun rose bearing truth on its wings

The light seared a hole through the cloth

Reduced to ashes flitting on the breeze

The loom fled

The shadow retreated

The mist evaporated 

The people fell back to Earth

And the liar was left a broken shell

Alone in a hollow room

Clutching at the vanishing ashes

Of a tapestry that never was

Nice! Also, since you said you're writing a story, is this going to go in it? (As like a folktale or smth?)

I hadn't originally planned to, the story I'm doing now is set on (relatively) regular Earth. That's a good idea though, I could file it away for later use!

[The Great Wyver She/Her]

Do you already have a plotline for it tho? Or is it in early development stages?

[SpartanBrigade He/Him]

Yeah I've already written the first few sections for it. It's more of an episodic thing than a continuous story, similar to Sherlock Holmes. Basically, the very oversimplified general idea is "what if Wilbur Whateley was chill and also a PI"

Storms I wish I could write like that

[Seonid he/him]

Poetry is a special skill. I like to think I can write reasonably decent prose, but I can't do poetry like that. 

Well done

I’ve gotten back into writing so I suppose I’ll dredge this back up lol

This is a poem I just wrote today

Spoiler

Would That I Were A God

Would that I were a god and held the sand,
And breathed into its dust a living soul,
Then cast those grains across your weary eyes,
And bore your dreams far from the waiting ash,
To endless, quiet, verdant fields of rest,
Where you at last might find untroubled sleep.
But I am only man, bound fast to earth,
And know the road is yours to walk alone.
