The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

At long last I am happy to present the first result of my QQ! The final project will have some suitable title, but in the meanwhile I will title them by character.

 

Cryptomancer

 

A double-sided coin.

One side, the Raven.

Initially seen,

Gregarious.

 

Come closer and flip it.

The Cryptomancer.

Lyrical, pensive.

Leader when needed.

 

Magic first and foremost.

Symbols focus pow'r.

Second choice, the sword.

The katana.

 

Edit: Another poem added, but temporary titles have been removed on two of these, as Sweetcherrie's character's poem and Tanuchan's link together.

True name's held close to the heart.

But you can call her Tanny.

Looks like me on the outside.

Turn around and think again.

 

Shapes and magic are her arts.

Her favorite shape, the wolf.

Her namesake, tanuki hide.

Or she's human-shaped, like most.

 

Her words you need take to heart,

For she's a feel for magic.

Her sense for risk's bonafide.

Truly, a valuable friend.

 

Yes, she is a case apart.

Not one to follow the crowd,

Left home to see the world wide.

One who's a wolf, in and outside.

 

Tanny always knows who she is,

Though she be wolf, tanuki or human.

But this one's not so sure of his biz;

It's hard to know when you're strange and inhuman.

 

This creature be the strangest yet;

You've never seen his like before.

It's been said he might make an adorable pet.

He has not one nor two nor three forms but four.

 

Ladies and gents, I am pleased to present

Trey, the colorful, cuddly quafter.

You see, though his intentions were quite well-meant,

He hasn't been the same thereafter.

 

He's roughly the shape of a koala bear,

But his snout and tail are those of a pig.

Of gorgeous butterfly wings he's a pair.

And no, that's not a misplaced zebra wig.

 

As to what happened, you must ask him,

For I'm afraid it's a bit of a delicate matter.

But his character's as tall as any jim's,

Say what you will of Trey the quafter.

 

Edit: Sweetcherrie(Trey)'s poem added and linked to Tanuchan's.
