Title: Poetry - City of Azure
Post by: Kahlisi on March 02, 2003, 11:16:28 pm

A weary adventurer happened upon a tacked-up piece of parchment on one Kada-El Tavern wall.  Despite frayed edges, the text was scrawled neatly and provided an easy read.

City of Azure

Sleepy City of the Azure Sun
Daily toil has just begun;
Nestled between Stone Labyrinth\'s keep
And lucid Nolthrir waters deep.

Sweet City of the Azure Sun
Your beauty shone enough to stun;
Surrounded by cool streams and ethereal skies
What true darkness donned such guise?

Strained City of the Azure Light
Tensions flowed by ancient plight;
Against glacial Laanx and ardent Talad
Can relations turn from those deemed pallid?

Stoic City of the Azure Light
Let those quarrel not over ancestral site;
Be it Xacha, Diaboli, Lemur or Kran
Across aeons your people must span.

Sole City of the Azure Dawn
Be watchful toward malevolent brawn;
Dire abominations wished an overtake
Life herself perpetually at stake.

Serene City of the Azure Dawn
Never will hope become withdrawn;
Untrammeled spirits of Hereos will soar
Your children forever ablaze in lore.

- Kahlisi Seirpo

Thank you very much, Keldorn!  I am pleased someone enjoyed my poem.  If anyone else has opinions on the work, do not be afraid to post - I can take criticism well (helpful criticism, not harmful/flaming).
