Competition: Scrounging for Words

Finished

Scrounging for Words

The first part of the Scrounging will be looking for the right words inscribed on the object. They are in the form of a poem and will be fairly obvious once you find them.

Create a short poem regarding the power of the Force, the dark side, Sith artifacts, or CNS material. This should be a SINGLE stanza of a haiku, limerick, or simple rhyming poem.

While the words will not be many, they will contribute to your fiction count for Clusters of Ice (as per Voice guidelines) in addition to Fifth Level Crescents and possible points towards the main competition.

Grading will be based mainly on theme and correct styling.

To hear the shout of broken chains,
to taste victory in freedom’s veins,
look long and want for naught,
breathe deep of passion’s lot,
touch the forbidden,
and fear not the hidden.

*Note: I styled the inscription around the Sith Code, but left out mentions of "strength" and "power" as a clue to a reader who would be familiar with the code to explore further. :)
