Re: Summer Challenge Sharing Thread - 2023 'The Voyage of the Dawn Treader'

Chapter 14 Table of Hope The clock turns backwards gently, at the table. An ancient silver Star's returning, day by day, to youth. Sunbirds flock to another meal, wailing their wondrous truth. All sailors would go on, if they were able – recalled to the hope and glory of yesteryear, In spite of dra...

I hadn't considered that Aslan's invisibility was evidence of the spells shortness, Ariel; I just assumed the spell effects were highly localized, and the local presence of Aslan was effected! --- Challenge mode for me... not sure I *quite* pulled off this sonnet attempt. Chapter 13 The Vigil at the...

This... was a hard one. Chapter 12 The Dark Island They pushed into the Dark with their eyes wide open. It swallowed their ship like a long black mouth. Only pale greasy lights gave their hope any token. In unnatural Night walked all fears unspoken. When the scream came they couldn't tell North from...

Chapter 11 Meeting the Magician He isn't the Tyrant they say he is – or at least, he isn't now. What sins a starry exile make Are only a Star's to know. He conjures English food for guest, Cold lamb and peas for tea; He napped through her little quest, And governs, it seems, unseriously. He collect...

Thanks much for the input, Ajjie! My 8th is rather small... Chapter 8 Deadly Beauty Glitter and gleam of strangely shining things – Curses can be beautiful, it seems. Serpents of the deep shimmer With vivid rainbow mail, And golden treasure bares its teeth Until dazed victims set their sail. --- Cha...

Chapter 7 Claws and Water Sand-scrawling has its disadvantages When you are trying to write your own story, And you don't know how to write a story, And you've only your claws to write with And compete against the surf. You're scrambling to show new vantages, Stripped of all close-held vainglory– F...

Chapter 3 "Same Old" They came ashore for a lark (And it was singing!), And to dig bare toes into the warm sand, And relax in the echo Of a memory ringing. They should have known how far the land Could change, over so much time. Had they not learned that lesson before, In the harsh school...

Chapter 2
A Year and a Day


He set himself a deadline,
Not knowing where it lead–
How wide the world he wandered,
And him the head
Of state.
His country had to wait
On his oath,
But not too long.
He'd plotted his path
With a ship, a hope, a song.

Chapter 1 (Clarence) Eustace blessed with complicated name, Stodgy and unwieldy and strange — From the beginning there's hope, just the same. Light shines in the middle, hidden from you. Clarence, from Clare, shining and true. If I told you back then you'd have thought me deranged. You're snide and...

Re: Lily's NaPo 2023

A Love-poem from The Strays and Rescues [4/30/23] Sometimes love walks up to your door On four feet. Sometimes you find that it only needed A kind hand to meet, A bowl of food to fill its belly, A place to play with joy And sleep in peace. We walk among brief wonders, Shining sparks of lives Clad i...
