Completed 2019 Christmas Community Event

I guess I missed that part when I went over it.

As a Paladin main, I have to go with the obvious choice: the sonnet about the Hero.

(Jk, use my Paladin one)

 

A cup of ice was borne
Will bear off her bloody coprse
Umquhile soul crystalized to spyran
Se whom the coldness embraces on ecnesse

Scorch the earth was Ifrit
Elquines afraid of her cold
Yet she banishs noobs back to village
Ond titillates the others out

Snow Witch Snow Witch Snow Witch
The name sound wick but none
Compare to the one hoeing at FM the third (welp.... she not there anymore)
Inflicts curse to whom durran hwisprian her "rebarf"

Till a sacrifice is made
Thou shalt not kill her

Notes: This masterful piece was inspired by my initial thoughts of seeing the Snow Witch for the first time. I don't know if she's alive and breathing (if she isn't, that's still OK ).

To the people judging: if this uh... isn't OK, i can make a new one? ._.

Do. Not. Judge.

Sonnet:

Hot and Cold

The snow witch, as ice-hearted as she may be

Takes the most voluptuous feminine figure to be seen,

I long to add my lady to my family tree

For she shall be tonight’s thicc cuisine.


I stare into her eyes, so turbulent yet so serene

So bewitching that I am powerless to resist,

And though we may be thwarted by a screen

I only yearn this Christmas morning that I be kissed.


I turn my attention to her chest

With bazooms so impeccable in their size,

Only wishing she was fully undressed

As she is the real winner’s prize.


But soon I realize I can never be with this queen,

For I am only seventeen.

Sonnet for the money I’ve spent on Donor Cash in MapleLegends

Listen, I really didn’t think
When I first enrolled for this game
That I’d experience the pink
anger of withdrawal. Lame.

Who’d’a thunk I would be sinking
So much cash into donor stuff?
When really I could be eating
At a restaurant that’s all fluff.

Oh well, I suppose it’s worth it.
There’s a bunch of crisp cash items
And I’m a sucker and a twit—
They call my kind dumb fools, all chums.

But here I go again, once more,
Clicking “Support Us,” though I’m poor.​

Notes: Sorry it's not very light-hearted or entertaining, I've never been good at humorous stuff. But I did enjoy making this, I've always liked writing but this is my first time attempting poetry and it was an interesting challenge making everything fit nicely. Hope you like it
Sonnet:

Longing for Warmth

She stumbles lost through bitter cold, bereft
An empty storm where nothing can survive
The hunger and the hatred all that’s left
Her jealousy for those who are alive

A movement; one sets foot in her domain
This source of heat who knows not of his plight
She lunges swift, silent across the plain
Her hand outstretched, a reach towards the light

And for a time she feels the blessed heat
Remembers when she led a different life
A time when she was free to live, to eat
Her days spent as a mother, as a wife

But then it fades; she sees what she has formed
A statue who can never more be warmed​

Notes: Thank you for reading my poem in advance. I thought it would be interesting to encounter Snow Witch not just by myself but with a buddy as a party of two. I tried to weave a short story into the poem and give a small plot twist at the end for fun. Cheers.
Sonnet:

Snow Witching, Know Switching

The frosty glare of Snow Witch, sleepless night,
That keeps us wary lest she pours her wrath
Upon the ones who dare to flee their plight,
Egregious fools who only seek for path.

To offer her the spoils of mountain beasts,
We search our bags amidst the murky woods,
And find I do! the loot bequeathed by priests.
Alas! my pal has lost his shares of goods.

Her chains won't bind me in the pits of death,
But she is drawing near my pal to kill.
O cruel fate of doom 'til one last breath,
I yield my loot to save my pal; my will.

The altar lights up for the team of brave,
But send me to a safe town with a wave.

Type of sonnet: Shakespearian? lol

HA! You want me to construct a sonnet?
Well, the Snow Witch is hardly an amusing topic
I’ll strike her body down while hectors are on it
Then chain lightning that witch until she’s microscopic

I’m sorry if you find this malicious
But that Snow Witch can’t even stand near a mere fire poison
This triumph is far from ambitious
It’s to the likes of defrosting a chicken

Now, I’m the one that’s worth the composition
I’ll pierce the sky with shards of ice
And have all the server read this submission
They’ll be in awe of the rhetorical device

My name will be inscribed in the Snow Witches plaque
And everyone know the Queen of Lightning is back

 

what A LEGEND

 

BRO YOU'RE BATTLE RAPPING HERE, MY GOD.

This is top 3 for sure.

Notes:
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The altar of fire nestled in the ice
Zakum's last act to be played on this stage
but nothing so easy comes without price
and the snow witch appears with blinding rage

She sings to me from a sea of snowfall
and like the self-same sailors, I sail forward,
foolishly allured by a siren's call,
the sweetest tune never heard before.

And though i know of her deceitful games
My eyes flutter shut to a lullaby
to awaken back from whence I came
No audience for the snow witch's cries.

And to her, I ask, which do you fear more?
The answer or the echo you abhor?

Notes: From the perspective of an adventurer speaking to the Snow Witch.
And h*ck 10 syllables a line was so hard to fit F4.. But it was fun playing around with wording and order of words to match the iambic pentameter. Same to learning the correct usage of thee vs thou, and thy vs thine.

Sonnet: No title/Sonnet 001

Thy cry doth sound amidst unhearing ears,
And no one cares to hide their hateful hearts.
Thy own resentment shan't allow more tears,
Towards the forest, from El Nath thou part.

By fate or chance with Scadur thou shall meet,
"Go see Alcaster please, for me!" Said he.
To save him from thine piercing gaze, a feat,
A single icy tear to hide from thee.

And thus my journey led me to this field,
Its coldness from thy heart unthawing, brought.
Today I come to offer all my yield,
That may forgiveness be from me begot.

And yet, I feel Alcaster's passion burn,
He longs to witness one day, thy return.

LET'S GET IT BABY

 

Sonnet, Interrupted

‘twas a Friday night when we saw the news
Through a link left in Discord, a contest
Issued: write a sonnet; three shall we choose.
Your theme? The Snow Witch, so show us your best!

Now the question was how to tell the tale,
Hidden beneath her solemn, smooth blank gaze
And icy brow offering no succour.
A story of hatred lost in the haze.

Only Alcaster may know the truth— what?
“Yeah, what if you write it and put my name
On it? You know, so I can get a cut."
But I did all the work, you walnut brain.

"Well I'm just joking, you don't have to stress
about it. Just enter solo… unless?"​

Spoiler: THE DEETS

Format: Shakespearean Sonnet
Notes: I have a conspiracy theory involving Alcaster and the Snow Witch,
hmu for more details that I didn't include in this sonnet because poetry hard.
