Hello there! I’m on my way to our community picnic. Peaches are the choice food for this year. I have a whole basket of them, would you like one?

OH! Oh my… There’s a hole in my basket and they all fell out!

Could you help me gather some more? There’s a few peach trees along the way. I hear that there’s a peach tree that even grows golden peaches!

Thank you so so much!

"I wish for a good job.
I wish for peace in our nation.
I wish for justice to be served.
I wish to be able to see my family.
I wish to be able to travel again.
I wish to be able to see my friends again.
I wish to be able to get the vaccine without being afraid of shots.
I wish for healing."


"My wish for this year is to overcome my fear of death and the uncontrollable anxiety that I have surrounding it. 😔"


"I wish for my child to find their path in life and for my family to be happy and work together to make our home a better one, and I wish for death. Death to hunger. Death to sadness. Death to ignorance.

Selfishly I also wish for a job. It doesn't have to be the best one, just one where I can save up and afford to keep my family home when my parents pass. I also wish to be loved for me when I'm not masking. I wish for good times outside my home with friends to return. And finally I wish for my dreams to come true.

It's a tall order I know, but it's what I wish."


"I wish my grandparents a healthy new year."


"I wish to create at least one fully rendered piece of art each month."


"I wish for my partner to find his mind at ease this year, and hang onto the excitement he has for his future ideas.
I also wish to find a good opportunity for a home before the year's end, that this new job might make that possible.
And lastly, I wish for safe travels in this climate because driving in snow is SO SCARY TO ME-"


"I wish this year will not be like 2020."


"I wish to find a boyfriend this year, a few more friends, a new job, or to win the lottery, any of that would be fantastic honestly. :]"


"I wish that this year I'll be more productive in my life. whether its maybe getting a job, or picking up a new hobby."


"I wish for everyone in Voltra to find happiness and success."


"I suppose the simplest and most obvious is wishing for a healthy year for all. May those who are working physically, emotionally, and mentally overtime to keep this society supported get the resources they need with minimal blockers in fulfilling their roles. We are all unbelievably grateful.

And to those who are struggling to adapt to the ever-changing pandemic situation (myself included), I wish for strength and resilience. Many lash out at the situation and others are slowing collapsing inside. I know. It’s difficult to not live your normal life and change is painfully slow, but humans are incredibly gifted at changing the environment around them. No matter how bad the situation is, there are always good people helping and there is always a silver lining, so I wish that more people begin to recognize and find comfort in that."


"I wish my parents get vaccinated"


"I wish for both of my partners to finish their semesters with great grades."


"I wish for everyone that I care of to stay healthy and stay safe.
I wish that I can properly face my fears along with my anxiety this year.
I wish to meet new people and have courage to go out more once COVID is over."


"I wish for more friends on Voltra."


"I wish for good things not only for myself and my family, but also for the rest of the world. May we all have happiness, success, health, freedom, joy, positive experiences, etc. for 2021 and well in to the future!! <3"


"I wish that the people in power (all of them) stop trying to lead us into WW3."


"I wish that my friends will have a better year full of happiness, fulfillment, and good luck, and that they always know they are loved."


"i wish i will be able to finish college and enter university this year!"


"My wish is that my friends and family can find peace. I wish that my new friend lives a long, healthy and happy life and that I am able to care for him as long as I possibly can. I wish that even if he passes away sooner than I'd like, that at least, he'll know he was loved and he had a family that cared about him and wanted the best for him.
My last wish is that my family stays healthy and strong and that we're able to see each other all again in good health and sound mind."

Vregory stares at the string in his hands, the gears on his head seemingly turning at a leisurely pace as he thought of the many ways he could use it. He hums to himself, eyes darting up as his faithful rat companion pops his head out from under his fluffy winter hat. “Humm... String. What do you think Eugene…?” he asks, the rodent squeaking in response.

"Hey Vreg! Oh! And Eugene! What's that you got there?" Vivienne asks as she approaches the duo, giggling as she sees them tied up in string, "Do you need some help there?"

Vregory tilts his head as if thinking as Eugene lets out a series of squeaks. When he finishes, Vreg nods in agreement, before turning his gaze back to Vivienne with a lazy little smile, “Eugene says we shouldn't let this go to waste... But what to make, hum...”

Vivienne’s face lights up and she takes some of the string in her hands, looking at it with an inspired gleam in her eyes. “I think I have the perfect idea for this... Wishing stars! it's a tradition in Sound Realm... Mind helping me out?” She asks, and Vreg nods, content with having something to do with his find, his best friend squeaking rather excitedly as well.

Oh, all the poems were so wonderful, it appears you all struggled to decide as well! I guess we'll have to announce a few extra winners...

First Place:
@Starlight: Congratulations, you've won first place.
The little girl sat by the fire
Watching the flames climb higher and higher
Suddenly one stopped short and said,
"Dear child, may I rest in you bed?
I burn bright all day and feel so worn.
A small rest and I shall be reborn!"

The child shook her head with such force.
"No!" she shouted without remorse.
"My bed would burn to the ground!
To the fireplace you are bound!"
Up she stood and went to her room,
Leaving the flame in a state of gloom.

Sad and tired the flame began to weep.
Panicked, away the other flames tried to leap.
But it was much too late.
They had begun to dissipate,
And soon there was naught but ashes and smoke.
The girl was quite cold when next she awoke.


Second Place:
@Totalanimefan: Congratulations on winning second place. You will be messaged to see which orb you'd like to receive as your prize.
Once there was a cat
Who wanted to eat a bat
The cat said "I need to eat you to thrive!"
The bat said "You'll never take me alive!"
The bat tried to fly away
The cat thought not today
The cat chased the bat throughout the house
The bat just wanted to bounce
The cat caught the bat
The bat said "My plan fell flat"
The cat swallowed
The bat slowed
The cat threw up and
The bat blew up and
That was the end of the cat and the bat

@Shadami: Congratulations, you've also won second place and will also be messaged.
Flowers on the doorknob
Skeleton upon the key
Turn the bone to open
What's beyond we'll have to see.

Fruit inside a frame
Wooden beams upon a tree
A treehouse in a forest
It's where we're meant to be.

Sloshing through the mud
Tracks changing by a brush
Paths are here, now nowhere
Don't look back you'll have to run.

The sun is rising down
The moon is setting up
Nothing's right, go up a stair
For what? I hope it's fun.

A yellow slide, the games a foot
Another door appears
Slide down? Go in?
Not knowing what to do.

The doors a mirror
We're there not here
A chess piece clatters down.
The time is now, go through.


Third Place:
@Mdom: Congratulations, you've won third place.
One thing I can swear
I searched everywhere
From snowy mountaintops
to concrete rooftops
I'm definitely being honest
when I say I've looked in forests
It took me many hours
To go through all the flowers
I investigated every letter
Walked from beach to the desert
Still I could not told ya
what the heck rhymes with voltra

@wildfire: Congratulations, you've also won third place.
Ixni wyxni swoo
who the heck are you?
do you think you are
you think you might
be that star
you see tonight?

NooooooOOooo says the sheep
Baaaa says the hen
the elephant neighs
the cow clucks
and the spider jump over the fence
with ease.

Ixni wyxni BEeeEEee
Who do I see?
a bear?
a bat?
a big old cat?
ixni wyxni beeeeeee
Who do YOU see?

An astronaut
a mouse
a lion on a bike?
a mirror facing inwards
a cloud facing out
a bee on a pedestal
you?
or me?

Ixni
Swyxni
WeeeeEEEEEEeeeeeeee!!!

@dragoness129: Congratulations, you have also won third place.
Lots of talking plants
Who let you in my garden?
I think I need sleep.

"Oh how delightful! Thank you so much... Oh... You were all so creative! How ever will I choose...?"

"Oh dear, oh my, oh!"
Blue and white, mirror on wall
Alice stepped through it

Mirror, mirror, yes?
How can Alice step back through?
Take the other king!

The king stands so tall
He seeks to intimidate
Friend or foe, beware!

Hatter, oh Hatter!
Where has Alice gone off to?
"To fight the king, child!"

"Your majesty! Look!
"A girl, so tiny and blue!
"She seeks your throne, Sire!"

"A child, a mere child!
"She cannot do what she wants!
"Send the men to her!"

"Your Majesty, sir.
"I merely have but one wish!
"To home, I wish for!"

"The child makes a wish!
"Her home, her home, all she wants!
"What a wish, a dream!"

"To home, a trick, see?
"See that mirror, in the tree?
"It will take you home!"

"Thank you, Majesty!"
Alice climbed up and up, high!
"Where is the mirror?"

A trick, a trap, oh!
The king lied so hard, poor girl!
Alice cried so hard

The tree, it knew, yes!
It knew Alice's wish, oh!
It made a mirror

Once again, she steps
Alice steps through the new one
This mirror, it sings

"Oh, my, I am home!
"Oh, my, I have been freed, yes!
"Oh my, what a dream!"

Big fat rat Scabbers
Turns into a fuzzy goblet
Transfiguration

One thing I can swear
I searched everywhere
From snowy mountaintops
to concrete rooftops
I'm definitely being honest
when I say I've looked in forests
It took me many hours
To go through all the flowers
I investigated every letter
Walked from beach to the desert
Still I could not told ya
what the heck rhymes with voltra

Today I kissed a pickle,
Though I didn't know what for
An ickle little Pickle
Came running through the door.

It jumped onto the counter
then jumped into my arms
And when it did I wondered,
Would it do me any harm?

Turns out the little pickle
only wanted a little kiss,
And when I did refuse it,
It gave a little hiss.

So I gave the pickle
what it came to get,
then on the floor
and out the door
and down the road it went.

Flowers on the doorknob
Skeleton upon the key
Turn the bone to open
What's beyond we'll have to see.

Fruit inside a frame
Wooden beams upon a tree
A treehouse in a forest
It's where we're meant to be.

Sloshing through the mud
Tracks changing by a brush
Paths are here, now nowhere
Don't look back you'll have to run.

The sun is rising down
The moon is setting up
Nothing's right, go up a stair
For what? I hope it's fun.

A yellow slide, the games a foot
Another door appears
Slide down? Go in?
Not knowing what to do.

The doors a mirror
We're there not here
A chess piece clatters down.
The time is now, go through.

My mother told me not to stray,
but "bah" to that is what I say.

I am big and and I am strong.
What could possibly go wrong?

I met a wolf on the path.
She said her greeting and continued past.

Next I ran into a bear
who complimented my braided hair.

A snake slithered by my feet,
taking a moment to offer me a tasty chocolate treat.

As the sun set a spider dropped in front of my face
and gave a bow before exiting with grace.

Then peeking from the ground I saw a mole.
He opened his mouth and swallowed me whole.

Mirror mirror on the wall
Oh if I ever were to escape wonderland at all

I wouldn't have to worry that wherever i walk
The flowers always seem to talk
Behind my back and fond rumor
Oh, how i often fail to see their humor

When they bear their teeth
I almost miss the actual bears
As I fall beneath and get caught up in their thorny snares

Oh, how I wish I brought my scissors, while all i seem to have are these tiny mirrors
Mirror mirror on the wall, If i were to escape wonderland at all

I'd pluck the very first flower i see
And tell them, ''oh how the tides have turned for me!''
It would not laugh, and it would not cry, wonderland oh wonderland
How could I ever say goodbye?

I turn around and a little wabbit crawl out in a hole
My eyes sparkles in wonder thinking if I'll find Wonderland once more.

So I follow the wabbit to the depths of the forest
My shoes muddy while my skin recieve scratches
Only to lose the furry little thing in the middle of the forest
But my eyes caught attention of a pretty flower in neon colour with a pile of roses

♤◇♧

My finger ooze in yellow liquid sap
While my vision is fading into black
The wabbit is back but with a clock
Proclaiming "We'll be late!" as he drags me back

♤◇♧

I woke up feeling disoriented
I'm back to the same place I fainted
I gasp and realize "This is not Wonderland no more!"
I glumly stood up and mindlessly walk into a pitch black hole

Horrified thinking; "I'm wearing pants! I got no puffy skirt to cushion the fall!"
But a gigantic mushroom saves my day
Labeled "Poke me. I'm fluffy"
And spent my life as a mushroom for the rest of my days...

I’m paralyzed
By the stagnant transformations
Of my life

I’m terrified
Because I’m scared to live
But I’m scared to die

I don’t wanna change where I am
Who I am
But I can’t escape these feelings

I’m paralyzed
In a box given to Pandora
Yet I’m so comfortable by
The insanity of my life

Once I saw a giant mouse
Sitting on a tiny house
His little nose all wet and pink
Broke the faucet of the sink
His tail so long just like a whip
Knocked off the chimney like a stick
His little peeter patter paws
Left tiny marks upon the walls
His ears flapped wide like dumbo's wings
Just to frighten Micky Yin
The frozen faces screamed in silence
Upon three dolls dressed up for violence.
The little mouse has run away
To be big again another day.

After a long, non-birthday, day of tea drinking
It surely got me thinking
As my head was feeling cold
I've lost my hat I've been told

Surely not my head,?
Couldn't possibly be, I'm not even sad
Yes you see, I'd say I'm feeling quite fine
Surely I'll find my hat in time!

Under the chair, perhaps in my hair?
That would seem rather unfair.
Now, that rabbit is looking mighty suspicious
But how could I question something so non-vicious?

How I lost it is beyond me,
Oh if only my hat would find me!

''Oh mad hatter'' the rabbit spoke,
Poking out it's head from underneath my cloak
''That really doesn't look right, you should keep your head screwed on tight!''

The rabbit gave his head a spin,
Unlocking the realization within

''Oh, rabbit what a great find, I'm so glad I only lost my mind!''

They used to call me mad,
But is it truly all that bad?

I followed the rabbit into it's hole
For a while getting out was my only goal

But then I took a bite from the cake,
And reality began to flake
I took a sip from the drink
It left my sanity on the brink

As I stepped into the fields, I dropped the last of my mental shields

The flowers speak as much as havoc they wreak
Tweedle dum and Tweedle dee, my best friends they'll always be
And as for the hare, he asked me the red queen to spare

Then there was Alice, who reminded me of myself
It was as almost as looking into a mirror on a shelf
Perhaps it wasn't too far of the truth and this was just an image of my youth

I looked her in the eye asking ''Alice, why are my eyes no longer dry?''
She smiled at me not uttering a word, her face now looking rather blurred.
''Did you really have to follow that rabbit?''

''Oh'' She laughed, ''by now it's become a habit!''
And with that she disappeared, along with everything I ever feared.

But as all wondrous things come to an end, a friendly Hatter lend me his hand
And with the stories he told, there was too much water for my eyes to hold
With that our ways had to part, it took me right back to the start.

And now when people ask me ''are you mad?''
I tell them ''It truly isn't all that bad!''

Ixni wyxni swoo
who the heck are you?
do you think you are
you think you might
be that star
you see tonight?

NooooooOOooo says the sheep
Baaaa says the hen

WeeeeEEEEEEeeeeeeee!!!

To awake each morn'
To fetch thy bread.
Slumber torn,
By sunrise ahead.
Thou soon to meet,
The Earl of Yeet.
Knock knock, he sounds,
To silence confounds.
Within ye castle,
His footsteps rattle.
Millennial curse,
A historical verse.
Echoes against the walls,
Does the Earl, does he have the balls?
For compassionate reasoning,
For endless listening?
Thy knows no warmth,
So go put forth,
To regain thy bleak esteem,
And share thy dank meme.
The Earl he waits,
By test of Fates.
Shoo him with bribes,
Or send negative vibes.
It's not time, nay!
Thy meme went viral,
ayeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Humpy Dumpy fell over a wall
But a heart shape crimson cushion landed his fall
It didn't stop him rolling down a hill
And keeps rolling and rolling until he sees a stream
The river washed him away
He screams "Help! Someone please help! I'm being wash away"
But no one answered
Not one answered his call
His face paled when he sees the waterfall
But a bird snatch him away just in time
He felt relief until he heard small chirps nearby
He realized too late what it's about to happen
He fell and crack
Became breakfast for the little chicks that friday morning

A silly little dreamer am I
Ever drifting, ever lost
From looking-glass to wonderland
Chasing the rabbit's tale
Where hatter and hare dwell
And smoke billows from caterpillar
Ever drifting down, Falling
Lost in a wonderland where madness deems
And lay my childhood dreams

To play croquet with queen
takes up a bit of steam
playing cards on fours
to win a bitter feat
don't lose your head
in wonderland

The little girl sat by the fire
Watching the flames climb higher and higher
Suddenly one stopped short and said,
"Dear child, may I rest in you bed?
I burn bright all day and feel so worn.
A small rest and I shall be reborn!"

The child shook her head with such force.
"No!" she shouted without remorse.
"My bed would burn to the ground!
To the fireplace you are bound!"
Up she stood and went to her room,
Leaving the flame in a state of gloom.

Sad and tired the flame began to weep.
Panicked, away the other flames tried to leap.
But it was much too late.
They had begun to dissipate,
And soon there was naught but ashes and smoke.
The girl was quite cold when next she awoke.

She rode her horse into town
And stuck a fork in the ground.

She rode her horse out of town
And left the fork in the ground.

Five years since she came to town
And the fork remains in the ground.

I wish she would come back to town
And take the fork from the ground.

Because no one living in the town
Can get the fork out of the ground.

I'm a queen that can't be forgotten
for my head is big as a melon
the mockery has turn my heart black
public excecutions can bring some joy back
I laugh with glee when I see the roll heads
for I'm a queen of all reds

When up become down
and down becomes up,
you find the world turned round.
Are you falling towards the ground?
A place as mad as can be
With characters all fun and lively.
Make your way through this maze
To clear you head of this daze.
Help them with their quest
To find your own way back home, where it is best.

bored.

I do not know and do not know and
fling myself to the floor.
The world is spinning.
What a bore!

There once was a zombie named Elmo
Who loved to eat a brain or two
Then one day the brains were gone
And Elmo didn’t know what to do!
He searched high and low
He searched far and wide
But everywhere he searched
It seemed all the brains died.
Elmo cried, Elmo wept
But he did not admit defeat.
If there were no brains
Then he would have to find something else to eat.
The stores were empty, the malls were clean
He could find shoes. He could find Plushies.
He could not find any food… Until…
He found a true golden Slushie.
Elmo screamed in joy at the taste.
His cold dead insides felt bliss from the freeze.
He jumped up and down, now full and proud.
He finally found food that did not scream pleas.
There once was a zombie named Elmo.
Who loved to eat a slushie or two.
Full fat and happy was he
And that is all he ever wished to be.

Lots of talking plants
Who let you in my garden?
I think I need sleep.

"Your Majesty, sir.
"I merely have but one wish!
"To home, I wish for!"

"The child makes a wish!
"Her home, her home, all she wants!
"What a wish, a dream!"

"To home, a trick, see?
"See that mirror, in the tree?
"It will take you home!"

"Thank you, Majesty!"
Alice climbed up and up, high!
"Where is the mirror?"

A trick, a trap, oh!
The king lied so hard, poor girl!
Alice cried so hard

The tree, it knew, yes!
It knew Alice's wish, oh!
It made a mirror

Once again, she steps
Alice steps through the new one
This mirror, it sings

"Oh, my, I am home!
"Oh, my, I have been freed, yes!
"Oh my, what a dream!"

Big fat rat Scabbers
Turns into a fuzzy goblet
Transfiguration

One thing I can swear
I searched everywhere
From snowy mountaintops
to concrete rooftops
I'm definitely being honest
when I say I've looked in forests
It took me many hours
To go through all the flowers
I investigated every letter
Walked from beach to the desert
Still I could not told ya
what the heck rhymes with voltra

Today I kissed a pickle,
Though I didn't know what for
An ickle little Pickle
Came running through the door.

It jumped onto the counter
then jumped into my arms
And when it did I wondered,
Would it do me any harm?

Turns out the little pickle
only wanted a little kiss,
And when I did refuse it,
It gave a little hiss.

So I gave the pickle
what it came to get,
then on the floor
and out the door
and down the road it went.

Flowers on the doorknob
Skeleton upon the key
Turn the bone to open
What's beyond we'll have to see.

Fruit inside a frame
Wooden beams upon a tree
A treehouse in a forest
It's where we're meant to be.

Sloshing through the mud
Tracks changing by a brush
Paths are here, now nowhere
Don't look back you'll have to run.

The sun is rising down
The moon is setting up
Nothing's right, go up a stair
For what? I hope it's fun.

A yellow slide, the games a foot
Another door appears
Slide down? Go in?
Not knowing what to do.

The doors a mirror
We're there not here
A chess piece clatters down.
The time is now, go through.

My mother told me not to stray,
but "bah" to that is what I say.

I am big and and I am strong.
What could possibly go wrong?

I met a wolf on the path.
She said her greeting and continued past.

Next I ran into a bear
who complimented my braided hair.

A snake slithered by my feet,
taking a moment to offer me a tasty chocolate treat.

As the sun set a spider dropped in front of my face
and gave a bow before exiting with grace.

Then peeking from the ground I saw a mole.
He opened his mouth and swallowed me whole.

Mirror mirror on the wall
Oh if I ever were to escape wonderland at all

I wouldn't have to worry that wherever i walk
The flowers always seem to talk
Behind my back and fond rumor
Oh, how i often fail to see their humor

When they bear their teeth
I almost miss the actual bears
As I fall beneath and get caught up in their thorny snares

Oh, how I wish I brought my scissors, while all i seem to have are these tiny mirrors
Mirror mirror on the wall, If i were to escape wonderland at all

I'd pluck the very first flower i see
And tell them, ''oh how the tides have turned for me!''
It would not laugh, and it would not cry, wonderland oh wonderland
How could I ever say goodbye?

I turn around and a little wabbit crawl out in a hole
My eyes sparkles in wonder thinking if I'll find Wonderland once more.

So I follow the wabbit to the depths of the forest
My shoes muddy while my skin recieve scratches
Only to lose the furry little thing in the middle of the forest
But my eyes caught attention of a pretty flower in neon colour with a pile of roses

♤◇♧

My finger ooze in yellow liquid sap
While my vision is fading into black
The wabbit is back but with a clock
Proclaiming "We'll be late!" as he drags me back

♤◇♧

I woke up feeling disoriented
I'm back to the same place I fainted
I gasp and realize "This is not Wonderland no more!"
I glumly stood up and mindlessly walk into a pitch black hole

Horrified thinking; "I'm wearing pants! I got no puffy skirt to cushion the fall!"
But a gigantic mushroom saves my day
Labeled "Poke me. I'm fluffy"
And spent my life as a mushroom for the rest of my days...

I’m paralyzed
By the stagnant transformations
Of my life

I’m terrified
Because I’m scared to live
But I’m scared to die

I don’t wanna change where I am
Who I am
But I can’t escape these feelings

I’m paralyzed
In a box given to Pandora
Yet I’m so comfortable by
The insanity of my life

Once I saw a giant mouse
Sitting on a tiny house
His little nose all wet and pink
Broke the faucet of the sink
His tail so long just like a whip
Knocked off the chimney like a stick
His little peeter patter paws
Left tiny marks upon the walls
His ears flapped wide like dumbo's wings
Just to frighten Micky Yin
The frozen faces screamed in silence
Upon three dolls dressed up for violence.
The little mouse has run away
To be big again another day.

After a long, non-birthday, day of tea drinking
It surely got me thinking
As my head was feeling cold
I've lost my hat I've been told

Surely not my head,?
Couldn't possibly be, I'm not even sad
Yes you see, I'd say I'm feeling quite fine
Surely I'll find my hat in time!

Under the chair, perhaps in my hair?
That would seem rather unfair.
Now, that rabbit is looking mighty suspicious
But how could I question something so non-vicious?

How I lost it is beyond me,
Oh if only my hat would find me!

''Oh mad hatter'' the rabbit spoke,
Poking out it's head from underneath my cloak
''That really doesn't look right, you should keep your head screwed on tight!''

The rabbit gave his head a spin,
Unlocking the realization within

''Oh, rabbit what a great find, I'm so glad I only lost my mind!''

They used to call me mad,
But is it truly all that bad?

I followed the rabbit into it's hole
For a while getting out was my only goal

But then I took a bite from the cake,
And reality began to flake
I took a sip from the drink
It left my sanity on the brink

As I stepped into the fields, I dropped the last of my mental shields

The flowers speak as much as havoc they wreak
Tweedle dum and Tweedle dee, my best friends they'll always be
And as for the hare, he asked me the red queen to spare

Then there was Alice, who reminded me of myself
It was as almost as looking into a mirror on a shelf
Perhaps it wasn't too far of the truth and this was just an image of my youth

I looked her in the eye asking ''Alice, why are my eyes no longer dry?''
She smiled at me not uttering a word, her face now looking rather blurred.
''Did you really have to follow that rabbit?''

''Oh'' She laughed, ''by now it's become a habit!''
And with that she disappeared, along with everything I ever feared.

But as all wondrous things come to an end, a friendly Hatter lend me his hand
And with the stories he told, there was too much water for my eyes to hold
With that our ways had to part, it took me right back to the start.

And now when people ask me ''are you mad?''
I tell them ''It truly isn't all that bad!''

Ixni wyxni swoo
who the heck are you?
do you think you are
you think you might
be that star
you see tonight?

NooooooOOooo says the sheep
Baaaa says the hen
the elephant neighs
the cow clucks
and the spider jump over the fence
with ease.

Ixni wyxni BEeeEEee
Who do I see?
a bear?
a bat?
a big old cat?
ixni wyxni beeeeeee
Who do YOU see?

An astronaut
a mouse
a lion on a bike?
a mirror facing inwards
a cloud facing out
a bee on a pedestal
you?
or me?

Ixni
Swyxni
WeeeeEEEEEEeeeeeeee!!!

To awake each morn'
To fetch thy bread.
Slumber torn,
By sunrise ahead.
Thou soon to meet,
The Earl of Yeet.
Knock knock, he sounds,
To silence confounds.
Within ye castle,
His footsteps rattle.
Millennial curse,
A historical verse.
Echoes against the walls,
Does the Earl, does he have the balls?
For compassionate reasoning,
For endless listening?
Thy knows no warmth,
So go put forth,
To regain thy bleak esteem,
And share thy dank meme.
The Earl he waits,
By test of Fates.
Shoo him with bribes,
Or send negative vibes.
It's not time, nay!
Thy meme went viral,
ayeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Humpy Dumpy fell over a wall
But a heart shape crimson cushion landed his fall
It didn't stop him rolling down a hill
And keeps rolling and rolling until he sees a stream
The river washed him away
He screams "Help! Someone please help! I'm being wash away"
But no one answered
Not one answered his call
His face paled when he sees the waterfall
But a bird snatch him away just in time
He felt relief until he heard small chirps nearby
He realized too late what it's about to happen
He fell and crack
Became breakfast for the little chicks that friday morning

A silly little dreamer am I
Ever drifting, ever lost
From looking-glass to wonderland
Chasing the rabbit's tale
Where hatter and hare dwell
And smoke billows from caterpillar
Ever drifting down, Falling
Lost in a wonderland where madness deems
And lay my childhood dreams

To play croquet with queen
takes up a bit of steam
playing cards on fours
to win a bitter feat
don't lose your head
in wonderland

The little girl sat by the fire
Watching the flames climb higher and higher
Suddenly one stopped short and said,
"Dear child, may I rest in you bed?
I burn bright all day and feel so worn.
A small rest and I shall be reborn!"

The child shook her head with such force.
"No!" she shouted without remorse.
"My bed would burn to the ground!
To the fireplace you are bound!"
Up she stood and went to her room,
Leaving the flame in a state of gloom.

Sad and tired the flame began to weep.
Panicked, away the other flames tried to leap.
But it was much too late.
They had begun to dissipate,
And soon there was naught but ashes and smoke.
The girl was quite cold when next she awoke.

She rode her horse into town
And stuck a fork in the ground.

She rode her horse out of town
And left the fork in the ground.

Five years since she came to town
And the fork remains in the ground.

I wish she would come back to town
And take the fork from the ground.

Because no one living in the town
Can get the fork out of the ground.

cracks in the mirror
once every other blue moon
flowers overflow

(Note: Does not want to be judged)

I'm a queen that can't be forgotten
for my head is big as a melon
the mockery has turn my heart black
public excecutions can bring some joy back
I laugh with glee when I see the roll heads
for I'm a queen of all reds

When up become down
and down becomes up,
you find the world turned round.
Are you falling towards the ground?
A place as mad as can be
With characters all fun and lively.
Make your way through this maze
To clear you head of this daze.
Help them with their quest
To find your own way back home, where it is best.

"Ah dear~"

You hear a troubled voice call out, drawing your attention. You soon find the source, a small woman covered in flowers.

"Ah! You there... Could you lend me a hand? I came to this land to visits my cousins but, oh, my luck... I've forgotten to bring a gift!"

You ask how you are supposed to help with that.

"Well, the custom of this land is to exchange poems... If you were able to help me write one, I would be so grateful!"

Maybe you could spare a little time... Judging by how strange this land is, maybe you should be a little weird.
