Next MapleStory poem up!

This one is a poem about adventure, and the many challenges one can face in MapleStory. Enjoy.


Seeking a Challenge

Shifting through water into darker places
Seek out the beast in the black endless wreath

Deeply descend through the cave's night-deep laces
Daring to face the one at the heart of Death

-

Look to the flowers beyond the fairy
Leaves and rocks afar hide strange shadowed things

Ascend the high mountain sink down to the valley
Across floors in the castle of grand long-dead kings

-

Take a flying ship towards the heavens
Through unknown clouds rise and await darkfall

Dive, survive and hope nothing happens
Deep wavy labyrinths hold the watery call

-

Through levels abandoned of a majestic tower
Tread deep to the point where the great creature reigns

Blinding steep starshine, a pulse of power
Beyond the sky, along heavenly lanes

-

Hills of snow, dead skies spread above us
Hidden in the mine, a god down below

Fight fierce through the forest, through blood and blackness
Face the dark dragon, take blow after blow

-

Enter the tower beyond cheerful ringing
End of the song signals start of the fight

Grey paths lead endless, time continues linking
Gamble your life for the touch of moonlight

-

Weave on more thread on your will of iron
Thirst on for battle and want more for rife

Seek out a challenge, young one like a lion
Go on an adventure you'll recall all your life.


Rhyming this was fun. I took quite a while (an hour) for this one. Longest time for any poem yet.

I found the half paragraph break very useful here. This poem looks neat, and I like that.

In case you didn't get it, each pair of lines refers to a place in Maple. I tried to put in as many as I could think of.

Respectively, they are about: Kerning PQ, Cursed Sanctuary, the Breathing Rock, Sharenian, the ship to/from Orbis, Aqua Road, Ludibrium PQ, Omega Sector, El Nath Dead Mines, Dragon Canyon, Orbis PQ, and the Paths of Time.

And if you didn't notice, in every pair of lines, both lines start with the same letter. If you need me to explain any lines to you, you can write in the review.
