'Twas the Day Before Summer (An Adaptation)
'Twas the Day Before Summer,
And all through the land
All the pirates were rushing
Leaving prints in the sand;
Their hearts were filled
With enough love to spare
In hopes more EXP/Drop events
Soon would be there.
And the shasilsk was cooked
By the fire with ease.
Creating power so vast
It shook the seven seas.
The voys were settled
Right into their ships.
Cannons precisely aimed
At the kraken's tentacle whips;
It took hours and hours,
but the beast came down.
Cargo now filled with loot
surely to bring them renown.
When on Summer Isle,
there arose such a clatter!
A dragon has awoken!
Pirates must handle the matter;
Away to the statue
they moved like a flash.
They prepared their entries,
And began to clash;
The dragon was strong,
But the pirates, steadfast.
For against their shared love
The dragon was no match!
The gem that it dropped,
Powerful indeed.
Forging into equipment,
Success guaranteed;
They would need this new strength,
As a dark power arose.
The pirates were frightened.
The abyss was exposed!
Shadows danced about.
Abyss lords were to blame.
Guild leaders screamed and shouted,
and called them by name;
“Now, Baron! Now, Flame!
now, Beast and Tyran!
Seal, Phoenix! Seal Despair!
Seal Asura and Drakan!
To the bottom of Abaddon,
where Hardin does lie.
Now attack! Attack!
Hardin will die!"
The challenge was vast,
But the reward above par.
For it was death equipment
That they searched near and far.
The pirates had done it!
Their success was outmatched!
For all the abyss lords,
their guild had dispatched.
It was at this time,
that their leaders did say:
"Happy Summer to all,
much love is on display!"

Wind
Ascending towering mountains with the greatest of ease,
laughing as foliage tickles my tummy with soft, feathery leaves.
Endless melodies, I have played, breezing through dangling chimes,
luring enchanted fairies with an orchestra sublime.
Lifting kites of brilliant colors, I choreograph the dance.
Such magnificent, breathtaking moves, never given to chance.
Designer of vast deserts, sculpting massive, lounging dunes.
Artist of the lonely face that rises from the moon.
Donning infinite perfumes; sweetest flowers; savory food,
or the salt of seven seas, when in a traveling mood.
Ghost writer of romantic voyages, sailors and pirates tell;
beached lovers on exotic islands, my gust upon their sail.
I've swooped down through lost canyons, and valleys, emerald green;
lain in meadow's tall lush grass to nap in sun's warm gleam.
My disposition revealed by soft whispers through the trees,
or howls from the north, saddled on winter's cold, pale steed.
Old as God himself, being born of his first breath.
I fill the lungs of eternity, forever evading death.

Submission:
The white waves roars
and the amber sun shines
The summer heat bites
in the azure blue skies
The barmaid pours
a cup of coconut wine
As the crusader gazed
into her hazel brown eyes
A gush of blood
flushed her rosy pink cheeks
All she could do was
blame the summertime heat
As romance filled
up the Argent bar
A champion eyed them
from afar
He glanced with envy
filling up with green
His heart felt heavy
as it slowly sinks
As he heard the chirping
of these two little doves
He wondered when
would he find his Summer Love
