These ChildrenThey crouch in their villages like beaten slaves  The grime-coated children of forgotten wraiths  Each with a story, yet each one the same  The losers of some greater, wealthier game   
Thin like skeletons, voices like swords  This generation doesn’t see the glory of wars  They’re young and were orphaned by nobles afar  And their sight is too painfully clear to be marred   
Some try to help them but they’re turned away  By a ruling class who refuse to tell night from day  To them it’s all gold, every sun and every star  Every drop of blood spilled can be cove These Children

SparksThere are sparks dancing in your irises, sparks leaping from your fingertips  Whispers laced with magic that weave such pretty pictures just for me  You leave signs for me, shimmering with ephemeral beauty in the air  And sparkling in the skies   
You weave protective nets and shielding wings that make me impervious to all  You paint wings on my shoulders and let me fly   
We soar through the clouds, you and I  Spinning past the mundane colours below  
Jumping invisible ladders, climbing high   
.  .  .   
And when night closes in I’ll cast lights for you &nb Sparks

An Hymn To Gaia

Night HaibunTime simmers on - a visit with friends, a cup of tea. Spiced chai with a little milk, sweetened, soothing. Having grown weary, it’s a time to let go, ceasing to strive.  I think of a cleansing bath and refreshing sleep, renewal.   
sitting still-  quiet becomes loud  my cup knocks wood Night Haibun

You're very welcome! =) It is a great piece! And thanks for entering!

On a side note, related to your collab piece and the piece I will write, do you have any preferences on particular styles, themes, etc that you would like to have in them? And would you like a short story, poem, or prosetry piece from me?

it was my pleasure to enter--my first contest ever.
:excited: it was very, very fun for my first time!
[hmm, judging from the fact that I won, this seems to fall very flat.] :giggle:
but no, seriously. if you make another contest someday, and I'm not too busy, I would love to join. :huggle:

I would love to read a poetry or prosetry [I'm not too sure about the difference... :hmm:] piece on a masquerade by you. but, I dunno. I feel... mean, by forcing you to write about something you might not want to. so, if you don't, I'm really open to suggestions. I don't really thing that I deserve to dictate what you write about.
If I'm making sense. probably not, but... ^^;

P.S: I like to color-coordinate my emoticons.
