  1. I know that. I'm musing on how in Adonalsium's name I could be one of the 2 best RPers.
  2. I agree that it would be awesome to see Shards unleash their full might upon each other or worlds. Brandon would have to moderate this though otherwise it would be impossible for the characters to do anything other than die. Perhaps he could have Sazed or someone else warp harmony into Discord. A battle between Discord and Odium would shake the very cosmere. Thus far Odium had the misfortune of being held by Rayse who while crafty was an egomaniac. He believed himself more powerful than others and thus underestimated them. Vargodium will make no such mistake. He is meticulous in his planning and execution. I'm legitimately afraid of what he is capable of. If Cultivation has misread the situation then things are going to get incredibly bad incredibly fast. At this point Endowment is the wildcard that could shift the balance of power. We will have to see how things play out. At this point the Discord and maybe Endowment could battle him effectively.
  3. Welcome! This is a great place to destroy evil! Which Cosmere novel is your favorite?
  4. In silence I glide forward. The castle vanishes as the forest spreads its arms and embraces us. When it comes I'll have to be ready to wage war. I look inward the beast struggling to escape. From within my powers begin flow. A sign for those that can see begins to rise up. Circestran walks beside Fox. She stiffens as she senses power begin to rise up. What is he doing?
  5. As a reminder Saturday and late Friday afternoons are times when I'll be unable to compete.
  6. You are amazing for wanting to learn about poetry that is bravery. I'll probably learn a thing or two from the shard.
  7. No problem at all. Imperfect rhymes can work if you use them consistently throughout the poem. Even with better rhymes I would say that the key is going to be to make sure that whatever way you do use them will be constant. If for example you end the 2nd and 3rd lines of a stanza with a rhyme follow that same structure for every 2nd and 3rd line.
  8. It's my pleasure to do what I can. *Flourishing Bow.* When reading the poem I could feel the rhythm of lines with what appeared at times to be some imperfect rhymes. While the rhythms are very strong and aid in the conveyance of your poetry the lack of consistency in the use of your rhyme scheme can be improved. A more consistent usage could strengthen the beats of the poem. There seems to a narrative thread running through the poem. That being said I'm less sure how the first and last stanzas relates to what follows and came before. They seem weaker than what they connect to and do seem to detract from the overall message. Excellent use of enjambments they really help carry the lines and build tension! The use of imagery could be stronger if you wanted to be more raw and visceral. Overall great work!
  9. Nicely written. The imagery is gripping. Welcome to the the shard.
  10. I do my best not to self advertise on the shard. I feel like using my awesome network of followers is an unfair way to draw attention to my posts etc.... 2 partial conversations on the shard drew me to conclude that I am considered a good poet by some. If this is so and there was interest I wanted to put my skills to good use. I created a thread where people who are interested in poetry can ask for advice or critique from myself or others. If there is interest I can post prompts or workshop activities etc... Spread the word if you wish. Take part if you wish. This has been PSA and now back to your regularly scheduled program.

      You're very welcome Bearer!

  11. It is done. I started the thread in creators corner. We shall see if it attracts any interest.
  12. Here is a thread for aspiring and established shard poets. Share your works get critique from myself should you desire it. Perhaps critique the work of others. Workshops possible if there is interest. Suggestions are welcome.
  13. Perspective matters and is key, Many have written poems about nature. However, each has their own vision. Your conception of these events would differ from others. That is how you make it unique. Maybe I should create a poetry advice thread if there is a desire.
  14. I had not heard of it either before I discovered it on the list of literary magazines that I'm working through. Advice as far as what aspect of writing? Specifically coming up with topics? Write about what inspires you. I tend to make the fantastical and mythical into my muse.
  15. I corrected it. Good catch. Its what happens when I type in a hurry. The magazine is called Better Than Starbucks. The poems are do to be published in their May 2021 Issue. They have a circulation of 5-10000 annually.
  16. @DramaQueen you were away when I announced that some of my poems were being published in a nationally sold literary magazine.
  17. *Bows with a flourish.* It'll be hard to live up to that reputation. Hopefully more comes through to make me worthy of such a title.
  18. Regardless of who wins these categories it'll be interesting. Flattering though that is I doubt that the shard thinks me that good.
  19. That truly is an interesting mix of good news bad news. Yay for recovery though!!
  20. A recommendation to be added to things that I should one day see.
  21. I don't believe that I have.
  22. Why not the disney shows are classic? You got me on that one. I had to look it up.
  23. Good question. "Oh I just can't wait to be king"
  24. It is a good musical. The live action disney film was meh.
