__Dancing In His Hand__

*So far from home, I take his hand, unsure,

A dance so new, his touch, it feels so pure.

Unsteady feet, breathless, lost in the night,

But in his arms, there's solace, fleeting light.

And I whisper, Master.

Time slips away, like ashes in the breeze,

His gaze a lash, that brings me to my knees.

I long to waltz, our dance shared in the dark,

The lonely pain that lingers leaves a mark.

He speaks my fate, the orders I had dread,

To dance in shade, where all hope has been bled.

The night draws near, it brings a sorrow song,

To die for love —

would that truly be wrong?

So far from home, I take his hand, unsure,

A dance so new, his touch, it feels so pure.

Unsteady feet, breathless, lost in the night,

But in his arms, there's solace, fleeting light.

And I whisper, Death.*

metrical form: Iambic pentameter. There are some trochaic substitutions, as in line 3. The lines "And I whisper, Master" and "And I whisper, Death" fall outside of this structure.

rhyme scheme: Each stanza is AABB.

3, 18, & 29, please :)

3. What work are you most proud of (regardless of kudos/hits?)

Is it silly to say my AABB fic? Nobody Said It Was Easy (Oh, Take Me Back to the Start) was the first ever longfic I finished and the first fic I'd ever written for a bang or writing event of any kind, and it holds such a special place in my heart.

18. The character that gave you the most trouble writing this year?

Sam, this one seems targeted... Gd, there are so many. Juno Steel was a big one; Jaskier and Geralt from my Witcher fic both gave me absolute hell. I don't think there was a character that didn't give me trouble this year!

29. Favorite line/passage you wrote this year?

This one's really hard, actually? Apparently I only published two fics this year (AABB apparently released two days before the new year) so have my favorite passage from my FPBB fic:

Peter Nureyev isn’t real, Juno tells himself, ignoring the searing pain in his wrist. Peter Nureyev isn’t real, he tells himself as he watches the tied-up HCPD officers who lost the thief Juno had practically handed them punch the ground in defeat through a video feed he’s technically not supposed to have, as he pours another drink and passes out on the couch with the smell of cologne still tickling his nostrils. Peter Nureyev isn’t real.

metrical form: tetrameter, sometimes iambic and sometimes trochaic. the "question one/two/three/four" refrain between quatrains is a cretic monometer line.

rhyme scheme: AABB quatrains; the final quatrain ends abruptly after a single line.

other notes: quatrains two and four have a shift from feminine line-endings in the first half of the quatrain, to masculine line-endings in the second half of the quatrain.

that banned from argo post earlier reminded me about the plan I had a couple weeks ago for a Temeraire series variant called 'Banned from Dover.' It stalled because I'm bad at rhymes but repurposing the bones verse did let me finish one part, which would probably be the funniest bit anyway:

Our Captain was a navy man; his private life is quiet The admiralty arrested him for inciting beasts to riot We found him in the covert jail, broke in and pulled him free- Intact except for honor, and half his memory

To my Valentine...

The magnetic force of your love draws me near, It's senseless to resist the orbit my dear, In the galaxy of my thoughts you're the star, You're my guiding light, despite how far you are.

As the years pass and the universe expands, Through the dance of time, our love always withstands, Like the everchanging stars, we too shall grow, As days turn to years, my love will always show.

— Amey J. F.

An Illness Tomb

𝙱𝚢 𝚘𝚜𝚌𝚘𝚕𝚘𝚝𝚕𝚡𝚣𝚘𝚘𝚡𝚡

A single sneeze can make me go mad.

A sneeze after a sneeze.

I'm trying to enjoy the buzzing bees

While living with ease,

But then I sneeze.

Again and again.

Night after day,

I sneeze this snickness away.

As night falls after resting all day,

I pace around my room.

Thoughts busy with my tomb.

I sneeze.

God, please!

I'm going insane from feeling ill.

Over and over my body will not stay still.

I'm going mad,

I'm no where near glad.

When I sneeze and sneeze,

My mind is not thinking of the bees,

Or living with ease.

God, rest my body, would you please?

metrical form: trochaic tetrameter catalectic rhyme scheme: AABB stanzas other notes: There is a strong preference for foot breaks to correspond to word breaks in the first half of the stanza (lines 1-2 and 5-6). In the second half of the stanza this tendency does not apply and lines may begin with 3-syllable words that cross the foot break (lines 3, 7, 8); in these lines either the first or second long position is filled by an unstressed syllable.

you just... you gotta have some fun sometimes

[thevalleyisjolly]

I additionally apologize to my players in advance for subjecting y'all to trite poetry.

[i-scan-your-poems]

Metrical form: iambic tetrameter

Rhyme scheme: 6 stanzas of ABAB, then 2 stanzas of AABB

Other notes: There are some trochaic inversions (e.g. of love lying past any veil). Both meter and rhyme are regular for the first 6 stanzas, up to "A cupboard, larder, and the loo-". After this point, the rhyme scheme changes and the meter temporarily becomes irregular:

◡ – / And you / ◡ – / ◡ – / ◡ – ◡ You all / lie there / together

This phrase, metrically a single tetrameter line, is broken up by a line break (emphasizing the repetition of you, the fact that it rhymes with loo in the previous line, and the tonal shift), and there is hypercatalexis (an extra syllable at the end of the line). The following line is also irregular, maintaining the tetrameter but with extra unstressed syllables and inversions:

◡ – / ◡ ◡ – / – ◡ / ◡ – ◡ Memo/rialized, / birds of / a feather

After this, the meter becomes regular again but the new rhyme scheme continues.

hi did you know that ancient mesopotamians buried their dead under the floors of their own houses to always be close to them? i can't write a poem about this but by god i will write a master's thesis

In the morning glad I see; // My foe outstretched beneath the tree. <- this part is really fucking with me

[what-fox-is-this]

Species: Red Fox (Vuples Vulpes)

Color Morph: Cherry Red (AABB)

Possible in nature: Yes

Cherry Red is just a variation of the natural red fox color. The easiest way to identify a cherry red fox is the deep red color and the lack of white fur in the inner ear.
