Dangit! If I had seen this post yesterday, I WOULDNT HAVE BEEN LATTTEEEEEEEEE meh i hope there's still time so imma just do a poem anyway (if im too late it doesnt have to count)

The Stallion in the Darkness

By Emily. R

In the dead of the night

While all the others were sleeping

The feeling of dread clung to the air

Like the decaying carcass that bear the wolves a feasting

No moon, no stars shining in the dark pasture above

The ebony sky helped the black steed camoflauge into the night

For no one saw the Guardian coming

If they did, they would bestow upon the sight

His flowing mane rippling in the air

His golden eyes and white star the only thing visible in the dark

His compassionate glare over the herd

His galloping gait a work of art

But once the sun split the night in two

The stallion could hold it back no longer

He reared and he brayed, his voice carrying far across the land

He spread his wings of ebony and took flight, leaving the herd down below in wonder

he's the god of messengers

Witch one?

btw i love mythology

have you read the Greek myth about Hermes?

oh, that makes sense

The Kane Chronicles are loosely based of Egyptian myths

wait, Dragon, why did you say Egyptian?

okay

Hard to explain

You would probably understand more if you read thr books lol

I knew what chaos meant, but I didn't know what ma'at meant

Lol

You now see im not good at ryhming

Ma’at means like good/peace and chaos is bad/ chaotic

................. Okayyyyyy.................

Probably something in Egyptian

what does ma'at mean?

...

Haha

Oh, i see

Devil poo is like complaining about destruction

Its about kane chronicle

Lol yeah

Devil poo!!!!! Lol!!!!

Another poem entry(Replacing first one)

Chaos is rising

Ma’at too.

Menshikov lieing

Traitor goo.

Destruction arrives

Devil poo.

that doesn't really seem like a poem, it's kind of a list. No offense meant by this

My poetry entry: (Named heroes of olympus)

Annabeth chase, a child of wisdom

Perseus jackson, the son of the sea god

Piper Mclean, the charmspeaking daughter of beauty

Hazel Levesque, the two lived child of a supposed witch

Jason grace, son of the king

Leo valdez, the seventh wheel

Nico de angelo, the son of the dark god

Reyna Avila Ramirez-Arellano, daughter of the two torches

Frank zhang, the shapeshifter!

sure

Does that work for the challenge since I wrote it beforehand?

That does sound like Nightwing!

nice!!

I didn't mean I thought it was cool I thought that it sounded like Nightwing. That first comment sounded so braggy the way I phrased it.

Thanks that's what I thought once I had finished with it.

Ikr

Sounds like Nightwing. Cool!

Wow, cool

I wrote this a while back about a black stallion, but I guess it could be about a black foal too. Also, because I wrote it a while back do I need to come up with another entry?

Shadow Horse (or pegasus) by Jessica W.

A majestic black stallion gallops through the mist

He's a shadow to the dawn

As he thunders across the open field

He rears and displays his splendor

His nostrils flared, eyes open wide

He is ready for a fight

Glistening black mane billowing in an arc

Drapes around his shoulders

Searching for a hidden enemy

He circles waiting to be charged

Seeing no present enemy

He resumes his morning frolick

But when an enemy does appear

No doubt, he will be ready

that makes it a lot better than the amazing poem it was! incredible!! ((I could stop gushing now))

I added one more line to my poem

Lol

Yeah I kinda ran out of room on the paper I was writing it on because I also doodles on it a lot. Hehe.

that is really good!! one slightly strange thing, not a big deal, is the last line doesn't really finish it. It's still really impressive though

Good wow form me as well

Thanks Cass <3

Good wow for me!!!!

Good wow or bad wow?

Wow

Tada! Sorry if I didn’t do it totally right. Does it count for the contest?

Wind and Flower

By: Emily F.

Love of two souls

Is just as wonderful as

The cool wind that blows

During a hot day

One where you don’t want to play

Love is like the wind

And love is a flower

Of wispy beauty for my

Darkened face, it truly covers

The sullenness under

I WROTE MY FIRST POEM!!!!!! It’s dedicated to my and CassTucher1’s OCs Windwing and Wispiflower!!

Ikr, actually she was a few places ahead of me (one kid's last name started with a V)

I would have guessed the person in the back with you would be a Williams or something

I had a conversation with some one who's last name Tyler, and they said something like "I always go last, it's so annoying to have a last name that starts with a 'T'", and I said "Well at least you have a chance to not be the last"

I've gotten stuck in the last row with only one other person so there wasn't much talking

yeah I used to have a classmate whose initials were Z. B. (his name was Zane)

but my initials are J. E. so I'm usually in the middle whichever way my teacher does it

That name is pretty! And that is kinda funny. First initial A last intial Z

wait what do you mean no distractions?

Always, it really stinks because most of the time it's done by last name, except when I do testing at the end of the school year (back of the room=no distractions)

I just noticed that your first name starts with A and your last name starts with Z. Are you the first or the last person called in role call or attendance or whatever you have a list of names in?

I think so

so the emPHAsus is on the right syLABle? (that's what my grandfather always says as a joke)

What Flamefrost said

ANN (like the name)- i (as in it or is) - ka (as in bazooka, that's the only word I thought of with that sound) Ann-i-ka

Those are the only name pronounces I can think of xD

There are two ways I think it’s pronounced:

AnnEka

Or AnnICA (Like how you say CAt)

Lol

Thanks, but I'm 99% sure you think my name is pronounced differently then the way I pronounce it

WHOA THAT IS INCREDIBLE!!!! And Annika!! If that’s your name Dragon, it’s beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks😊

the first one I remember is my poem Zebras

(link to that post is here: http://www.theguardianherd.com/messageboard/herd-chat/i-ve-noticed-that-you-think-i-should-be-an-author-so) and Zebras was four lines and pretty simple, so this is really impressive

Thanks, it's the first poem I've ever written so I wasn't sure how it would turn out

there is no such thing as too long!! that's amazing!!!!!

"Wow" as in to long or "Wow" as in it's great?

WOW. JUST WOW

Lightfeather's death

By Annika Z.

In the dark of the night

A white mare woke in a fright

The pain in her belly

Would not let her sleep tight

She called out for help

And a young pinto came running

"Hold still" said the pinto, whinnying

"Don't try to stand up"

Through the dark of the night

The pain only increased

Till by the light of the dawn

The pain finally ceased

A cry of shock came from all around

It made the white mare turn quickly round

To her surprise a black colt was what she found

Lying asleep on a pile of moss

How could something so small come at great loss?

But as the sun rose

The white mare sighed

And then she quietly died

Moans of sadness filled the air

"Lightfeather, Lightfeather"

They all cried, but it was to late

A meadow of gold is now what she calls home

I decided to write a poem not a haiku

Or Cassandra B., either works

Thanks guys! And you can say Cassie B.

Cass I honestly want to share this with my teachers, should I give credit to "Cassandra" or "CassTucker1" or "Anonymous", etc.? and if you do want it to be your name, I would like to put the last initial

that is really good! and it does count

That's great Cass

Does this work?

Every one-hundred years

A shimmering star arises

For it is full of surprises

A special mare is chosen

And that special mare, on one special night, bores a black foal, full of incredible light

Once a year old

This black foal is overtaken

By that shimmering star, and his destiny is shown.

Silver, or gold..

Ohhh ok sounds good

I'd like it to rhyme, but do you know what a rhyme scheme is? I'll set it up with one of my poems, Rainstorm:

Rainstorm

The crack of the thunder, A

The splash of the rain. B

Cleaning off the windowpane. B

The clouds are black, C

The lightning is white. D

As the storm rages on E

Throughout the night. D

In the morning, I awake. F

And see that the storm was not a mistake. F

The grass was so green, G

The roses, so clean! G

The sky was so crisp and so blue, H

I wish I could have shared it with you! H

It's basically the pattern of the rhyming words, labeled in alphabetical order, for instance "rain" and "windowpane" rhyme, so I gave them the same letter. You don't have to label yours, but what I was trying to say with this whole thing is that the rhyme scheme doesn't have to be A-A-B-B-C-C-. . .

Does it have to rhyme?

Ohhhh thanks Flamefrost!!

and I know that "launched" could be one syllable

Dragon this would be an example:

The moon is a lamp

That shines in the midnight air

Reflecting the Sun.

Apollo launched

To the moon, Armstrong took the

First step on its face.

(so there are two haikus about kind of the same thing)
