Well today is the first poetry club meeting...i have one or two people signed up but not to many...i might hold off until next week to see if more people sign up. Besides...not to many people can reach the Fourth Wall Library,so i have to find a better meeting place. The Mermaid Song Protectors meet up at the same time we do..so i have to find another place,but don't worry i will. Good Day and Good Luck(especially to me!)

Although I've always had an affinity for poetry, I struggle with finding excerpts that would be interesting enough to present to a fancy poetry club. I spent a few hours scouring the library for the perfect one, but finally gave up and sulked back to my dormitory. Over the past few days, I've been requesting more and more ridiculous things of my currently blank copy of "Expanding Horizons," but I hadn't had any luck until today. In an exasperated and sarcastic tone, I asked the book, "What is the best, most impactful poem ever written? Has there ever been one so good that its readers are in awe of the fantastical piece before them?" To my surprise, the smartass author this book decided to answer me by hurling his work into my lap, already opened to page 76. I assume the violence of his response was payback for my increasingly irritating interrogation sessions. Because Poetry Club started in approximately seven minutes and I still had to navigate my way to the Fourth Wall Library, I had to sprint to the meeting without a glance at the poem.

I made it to the library with roughly 42 seconds to spare, just in time to catch the beginning of the meeting. As it was only the first meeting there weren't too many psychics in attendance, but everyone who was there presented a poem that was in some way intriguing. @Crystal Rosethorn read a touching excerpt about the life of a sickly changeling who eventually reintegrated into the fairy realm, and the scents described in it wafted through the room as she spoke. Another girl, named Anaïs, recited an ancient marriage proposal; although the language is long forgotten, it still invokes strong feelings. When it was finally my turn, I awkwardly mumbled the first lines of "Precious," but then slowly melted into the poem's rhythm:
 
"A-alone alight of light you are
as am I.
 
Or so I used th-th-think
when I stared in the mirror
and saw these faces
they were never mine.
 
I sought to recognize
something,
some familiarity,
some sense of belonging
just something I could
use to string along a -"

Suddenly, I snapped awake from what seemed to be a trace. When I looked around the room, I saw that everyone was nodding their heads to the ebbs and flows of my words. In disbelief, I looked down at my book and saw a warning written in small type appear before my eyes that described the trance all listeners would fall into. It seems that the only thing that snapped me out of it was the slow drip of blood from my nose, dotting the pages. I looked up again to see crimson streaks flowing from the noses of my fellow poetry lovers and realized that the author of "Expanding Horizons" may have mixed intentions.

I just woke up from a heavy trance...I have been warned about that poet. Words are a type of magic to,and i've always been told to be careful. When i woke up,i found myself drooling,blood coming from my nose. Very strange i may have to look more into it...Also may i suggest a writer i adore reading? Lilliana Smith,she went to the faerie realm,and came back,which is very rare. She writes about it,and also strong poems about politics and protecting animals and feminism. I actually met her when she came to a Dragon Tooth And Tail Protectors Society meeting,very interesting to meet her. Anyways, Good day and good luck,especially the others who were put under the trance!

Oh, may I join the club? I've had several days off with nothing to do, and I need a break from my rune studies (The classroom smells like chalk and mothballs!).
I love writing poetry, and find it delightful!
