Panda's Poetry Thread

[Pandemonium]

I think that with my vast collection of poetry, one thread would be enough. I'll post one or two, allow time to comment and then post two more.

Crosswinds

The warm winds are blowing,

The dark snows are flowing,

The trees are whistling,

And the skies are glistening,

The days are brighter,

The warm rays are lighter,

The water feels cool,

As we drift in the pool,

Summer comes closer,

Yet I’m no poser,

I’ll admit defeat,

And sound the retreat,

As winter rushes back in,

Our warm, cozy den,

Deep within the forest,

Our ship moorest,

Till dawn break tomorrow,

The skies we’ll borrow,

As we make sail,

With wind on our tail.

Loyalty

Raise the flag, shine the colors,

Blow the trumpet, rally the others,

Sharpen the axe, strengthen the yew,

Rally the peasants for something new,

The sun shines, the grass waves,

The sounds of marching on concrete paves,

The yells of men, the neighs of steeds,

Crimson banners flapping for honored deeds,

Iron swords, beacons in the dark,

Gleaming, as soldiers felt the mark,

The crimson kiss upon their brow,

The dark embrace, their final bow,

! Hark the call to arms,

Raise your blades, leave your farms,

Accept your destiny, your birthright,

Defend your home from the rising night.
