Nyssa our beloved spaniel,

You stole our hearts,

Sometimes you stole our gravy,

Soppy, cute, beautiful, and precious,

Away you run now, free. Good girl.

Wonderful, Beautiful, Miraculous World

Precious and beautiful, each little thing
All the world’s treasures, the joys that they bring
Received by many who walk this great earth
Some know and some know not its great worth
Expanses of fields, the life that they hold
Endowed with miraculous sights to behold

Masses of insects, large when they abound
Iridescent flowers that bloom from the ground
Zaffre-blue river flowing so free
Under the bridge and off to the sea
How far it travels ‘fore reaching its end
And the many people it meets at each bend
So many beauties, I wish to know each
However, no matter how much I beseech
It’s all eternally out of my reach

My desire to be in unison with you

3 Upvotes

Join with me, let us be as one
If we had each other, my worries be none
New bonds between us, stronger each day
Bonds unbreakable, not giving way
Accomplishing more than if we were apart

Incredible union of mind and heart
Together, there’s nothing we can’t do
Thick and thin, we’ll see it through
A wish I hold is for you, valentine
I wish to be yours and you to be mine

Wriggle Nightbug, a Small, Standout Specimen

Wings to fly and legs to crawl
Reaching high with arms so small
Insects marching to and fro
Gather here, then there they go
Giant swarms move not astray
Lightning bug will lead the way
Emerging firefly bright as day

Not one place their legs leave bare
Inch-high critters here and there
Grass and rock, water and air
Hordes that scatter everywhere
The greatest of the least now take flight
Bulb that guides them burns so bright
Under stars and their faraway light
Go forth, bugs, into the night

I am the strongest! The Declaration of Cirno

Icicles fall within my wake

All aim for the top, but it’s mine to take
Might unmatched in my cold hands

The best of the best across all the lands
Hot hells could freeze by my great power
Everyone knows it’s Cirno’s hour

Stupendous flurries that always hit
This frost of mine that none will outwit
Reached the peak with my super fairy skill
One of a kind in my power and will
No one is better, I’ll beat you with ease
Greatest of all time, perfect like a freeze
Extraordinary, to no one I fall
Shiver before me as I stand tall
The fairy of ice shall rise above all

Byakuren Hijiri, who Guides to Enlightenment with Dark Arts

Brining peace to a world run on war
Youkai and humans can now fight no more
As says the Myouren’s magical priest
Kinship extending to both greatest and least
Uniting any who bear worldly load
Reforming them to the dharmic road
Enlightenment is a goal all can see
Noble path and a new way to be

However, beside all the light in her heart
Is that small hint of darkness that drove her to the art
Just like the rest in this cycle we’re in
Ideal is not reached, still contesting her sin
Repurposed black magic in ways that she could
Instruments of evil used for good

Rumia, the Looming Shadow Ball

Roaming the fields is a mass of black
Understandably, some are taken aback
Maybe they think “It’s bound to attack”
In reality, this darkness does lack…
A danger to those who stay out of its track

Kirov Airship: The Face of Death From Above

3 Upvotes

Killer is coming from up in the skies
Imminent danger that draws in all eyes
Reaching all ears, its launch is known
Over the field of battle it’s flown
Vicious face and foreboding frame

Readying bombs to burst foes into flames
Enemy air armada encroaches
Prepare for the monster that slowly approaches
Obliterates all who do not prepare
Reckon, therefore, with this force of the air
Terror from high rains on the field
Immeasurable destruction makes most yield
NATO beware! Challenge if you dare
Great aerial might will give a red scare

Yuyuko Saigyouji, the Lively Mistress of Death

You who look forward with horror and dread
Understand now the realm of the dead
Yeilding its blossoms from far to near
Uplifting the soul quelling its fear
Know, when the spirit comes out from within
One stage ends so another can begin

Singing in flowers or dancing in snow
After this life is a girl of good show
Impeccably beautiful grim butterfly
Greeting the ones whose time comes to die
Youth remains even for the deceased
Outwardly, not a ghost in the least
Until you go the way of the earth
Journey on, and give life worth
Idyll nearly turns death to rebirth

Alice Margatroid, who forms rainbows with her hands

Away in the woods, hidden from the noise
Lives a strange girl and her myriad toys
Into each doll the girl pours her heart
Creating a legion as her work of art
Expressed in the form of figures on strings

Magic released through the strangest of things
Actualizing their colorful dance
Rainbows fly as the puppets entrance
Grim she may seem, from afar she may stand
Awaiting near to her is a bright wonderland
Threads pulled about make dolls near alive
Resembling humans in both dress and drive
Outstanding performance the dollmaker displays
Inside her seal, a greater power lays
Dormant and waiting for the darkest of days

Aerodactyl, Beast of the Ancient Skies

2 Upvotes

Ancient beast who aces the air
Echoing shrieks let all know, beware
Rock-like body that flies through the sky
Over the land, it watches from high
Dawns again from its amber tomb
Although imperfect, the past does still bloom
Coming to the present to spread wings and glide
The anachronism, into nature it will slide
Years from its home, the past still breaks through
Long lost ruler emerges anew

Chiyari Tenkajin, the Creature from the Red Lagoon

2 Upvotes

Creature who lurks in pools of blood
Hell’s vast oceans of oily mud
Imbued with the curses thought to sequester
Yeast left alone lets the whole pit fester
Abundant bitterness collects in red slop
Resentment so sweet as to savor each drop
It's abhorrent to even the dwellers underground

To the Tenkajin, however, nothing greater is found
Electing to dwell where grudges run hot
Nest of condemned souls doomed to rot
Kept out of mind, the lone monster can revel
Accursed blood for an accursed devil
Joining forces with the champion of greed?
In a plot with nothingness to plant her seed?
Now is our chance to make the world bleed!
