I'll join! Sounds like fun!

Great idea! I just listened to the preview of the song online, and I'm HOOKED! I love it!

Poem soon. 

Top! Poke! Top! Nudge!

I'ĺl join! Poem soon! TOP!

Awesome song! Here's my poem.

Breath of The Forest 

get

lost in the hymn of

the wild. Let yourself be

taken by the doves mourning

the loss of another

day, hear

the crickets' ancient

rhythm.

smell the violets and

feel the mud

between your toes. this

is the litany of

an ethereal haze, a 

moment of clarity in a

cloud of fog.

taste

the dew forming on your

lips, breathe in the 

forest and exhale

poison gas. walk the thin line between

adventure and

insanity and know that

both are beautiful.

and

crane your neck to

see the tall white

pines peircing a

pale

pink

sky.

Author's Note: I feel like this poem is really dumb and I'm going to regret posting it. You know that feeling when you read your old writing/look at your old art, and lose all confidence in your ability to do anything? Yeah...

untitled

I 

fly high above 

The treetops

Everything

forgotten

Except the present

Vision obscured

by a cloud,

I shiver

with delight,

Never wanting

To go back

I pet the scales of

 the dragon below me

Tough,

Yet soft and smooth

She keeps me aloft,

From

free falling,

She flies around,

Her mammoth wings

Flapping.

Looking up,

I can see the stars above
me

Glittering, twinkling,

Pinpoints of light

In the inky sky

So far away,

Yet so close

As if I could reach out

And touch them,

Hold them in my hand

Keep them

As a light to guide

in the

dark

Looking down, I can

see the ocean

The reflection of the

full moon

Rippling

in the waves

The blue-black water

Splashing

against the rocks

Droplets flying,

soaring,

Falling

back into the sea.

Diving down,

The dragon’s paws

Glide in the water,

Leaving a wake.

The spray

Flies

Onto my face

Cold and stinging,

But I don’t care

The wind

Slaps

My face,

Making my eyes water.

I

Shout

In delight, the sound

Amplified

Echoing everywhere

The sun soon

Breaks

Through the night,

Casting

Light into every crevice,

So nothing is hidden

From its warmth.

Colors

Fill

The sky,

Pink,

Purple,

Orange.

I'm

filled

with peace.

the beauty of nature

calms

me, and even

as i climb off

my dragon and walk through

the forest,

back to my village,

i'm filled with courage

and happiness.

Soo the first thing I thought of when i heard this song was how to train your dragon, so i kind of wrote my poem based off the scene where Hiccup and Astrid ride Toothless together for the first time. Also I'm sorry this is so long, I wasn't planning on that.

Bluebird, I totally relate, i feel like that about my poem right now. But if it makes you feel any better, I love your poem. :)

One more thing: I apologize if the formatting on this is weird, I wrote this in Word and copied/pasted it into the comment box.  

I'll join!! 

o'er the hills & through the woods~ 

sometimes,

when i lie on a bed 

of grass and daisies,

in the midst of green hills

and wooded forest

i remember

our daring escapades

battles fought on war fronts. 

the jagged scar from  

our skirmish with the creek

still haunts me

but now,

i remember

the faeries

we would fly

oh so far away

i wish we still could 

spread our wings

and soar 

~~~~~~

My entry!! I'd love some critique, if you've got any!

Very VERY VERY nice guys!!!!!

I wait to see some more poems!!!! 

-- Judging around May 1st! -- 

I loved this song! Here was what I thought about it.

Breath of the Forest

 by Adrian von Ziegler

You say
They aren't real.
You say
They don't exist
You say
"Scientific evidence has proven...."

I don't care
what
scientific evidence proves.
They are real.
Fairies.
Here
In this forest
They are.

Dancing in the
ring of magic,
they seem
more real
than
you
when you said
that they weren't.

All sorts of
Fairies-
big ones,
small ones.
All colors of the
Rainbow-
And many more
yet to be
Imagined.

Dancing,
Twirling,
Flitting
about without
a care in
the world
Beautiful....

and real.
