Just a request

On my last Chibi Wars post, I got a request from an anon user to write another story about 'the box'.

Unfortunately, it's not that simple. I need to have an idea to write about and the will to write at the same time. I also need a Microsoft Office licence which I don't HAVE on my new computer yet.

FORTUNATELY, I recently (two days ago) went on a writing residential. It was for Ilkley literature festival or something, I don't know. I had a great time though and I wrote some poems. 

I know it's not exactly a story, and I know poetry isn't the BEST filler but... I wanted to give you something to read anon, especially since you asked nicely xD

Okay, so this is my first poem which is 'Blue'. I wrote it during a task where we had to choose our favourite or least favourite colour and write about them. I just randomly came up with this. 

Blue
Home town, long time ago.
Squatting by the sea
It spits shells and glass
Long forgotten, old
Broken trinkets of the past
I scoop them up with small fingers
Slippery with salt
Hands can't carry as many as I desire
Frustration
Anger
Flinging the pebbles back into the sea
Stop.
Listen
I look
At the calmness of the waves
The ever-changing tide
For the first time, I feel it
I feel Blue 



Not exactly a poet, right? xD, 

So, my next one is titled 'Yellow', which I also wrote for my task. It's actually neon-yellow that I really hate, but I kind of generalised it. So here we go:

Yellow

Harshness, wrath.
It screams at me from skies forgotten
The yellow colour of my misery
The allotted colour of daylight, the sun
Anger at each new dawn,
Golden fires shot at me
Bright, illuminating wrath of the Gods.
I can't stand any more
I cover my eyes and break

 That one was kinda depressing and off-topic. 

Right, my last one is 'Green and Red' which I just wrote around five minutes ago when I showed them to Chelsie and she said they'd be good to put up on here, so forgive my sloppiness.

Green and Red

Green,
The lush colour of life, 
Circle of the Earth
Cupped in your hands

Green, 
Nourished by tears from the skies
Celestial rains of heaven
Flowers bloom upwards towards the skies
like the leaves of trees stretched with pride 
Nurtured by the soft kiss of sun

Green,
Home found in the grassy fields
For the soft ones, the fast ones
The old and the young

With one spark it is gone. 

Red,
The colour of rage, of fire
Bloodshed of innocents
The patter of fleeing feet

Red,
like the flames reaching upwards to embrace
To kiss the life from puckered lips 
Wrinkled with fear

Red, 
With each smoky step the further they run,
The soft ones, the fast ones
the old and the young.

Tell me, after all of this is done
When all of it is burnt
Who are the ones that remain?
What binds us together as one?

It is the trees that stretch with pride
For with one droplet of life-giving green
The world can begin again

Thank you for listening to my awful poems!

I hope you enjoyed them anon, I know it's hardly a substitute, but still :D

Chibi Wars should pick up during the school season. 

Stay tuned ^-^
