Gaidinia Rose Carnival
February 2021 event - Rose Carnival
Author's Notes
Task was to write a riddle or poem in honour of the Rose Carnival.
As it is a festival based around the history and tales of the earth Nyanarr's, I went with a botanical kind of theme.
Day 1- Riddle/Poem
Entry 1
Climbing round, and round I go,
Getting tighter as I grow,
Nothing safe as I go 'round,
Neer again to make your sound.
Entry 2
1 even, for a child, is always bad,
4 or so and you'll go mad,
10 will make you fill with worry,
20 or more and you'll be sorry.
Entry 3
Blood? Tears? It's all the same,
Your love, my beauty, like a flame,
All the joy, what good can it be,
Your love will end, withered like me.
