Before I present this I want to say that I apologize for not contributing much as a member. Although, I'm proud to be in this guild, I'm not much to create an epic, but I love creating poems, as I've been re-inspired by the movie Dead Poets Society. So for now, I'll stick to being a poet.

I, Traveler before the Lotus Tree

I, lost traveler before a lotus tree,
Led astray, from the road I can't see,
Asked first, "Where might my road be?"

"Why the haste?" chuckled the tree.
"Come, come rest under me!
View the sun's passing, relaxed and carefree."

I, weary traveler under the tree,
Worried most, for the road I can't see,
Asked again, "Where might my road be?"

"Why the haste?!" rumbled the tree.
"Stay, stay and rest under me!
View the storm's passing, relaxed and carefree."

I, angry traveler against the lotus tree,
Cursing much, the road I can't see.
Asked once more, "Where might my road be?"

"Why the haste!!!" roared the tree.
"Don't, do not rest under me!
View the traveler's passing, where you're meant to be."

I, proud traveler away from the lotus tree,
Walking again, upon the road I can see,
Said finally, "I'm where my road might be."

Unfortunately, the ending is something I'm not quite fond of, but I guess if it brings out a grin or two, then I'm a jolly guy!

Lol yeah sometimes it's funny how others will look at our works and the things we like the least they somehow find entertaining.
