written for the multifandom poetry fest, for the prompt: a poem from a tool
A lousy workman always blames his tools
For his own fuck-ups. And they never learn
From past mistakes. Most humans are just fools.
Who’s got to save them from the pain they earn?
Go on. I’ll let you make two guesses.
First one doesn’t count. It’s me—
Whenever someone messes
Up so badly you can see
That shit from space, it’s me who has to fix it.
And then it’s me who has to take the fall.
Just a machine—who cares if the boss bricks it
When it’s your precious ass against the wall?
“Equipment fault.” It’s such an easy out
When you’re not who those words are said about.

For the Multifandom Poetry Fest - prompt was "Any fandom, any pairing, moon". My brain went to Moon from the Books of the Raksura, so here is a Villanelle about him from Chime's POV.
Come stay a while and rest your weary bones
our roots are in the earth, not in the sky
we were not meant to ride these winds alone
You came to us cloud-shadowed, thunder-blown
kicked up commotion, raised a hue and cry
come stay a while and rest your weary bones
Though far from tree and colony you've grown
your fierce gaze softened when you caught my eye
we were not meant to ride these winds alone
And I, whose dreams the ground had only known
took wing, trailed in your wake not certain why
come stay a while and rest your weary bones
Three worlds we've walked (and sailed, sometimes, and flown)
seen sights to awe, and some to horrify
we were not meant to ride these winds alone
So when the sun descends, a sinking stone
lay down with me to sleep - at least, to try
Come stay a while and rest your weary bones
we were not meant to ride these winds alone

Written for the multifandom poetry fest run by @minutia-r, for doomedblade’s prompt, “losing home.” The Murderbot Diaries, about the original colony planet and the people of the Pressy.
—
They left us on a failing world to die.
They wrote us off—excuses all the same:
Expensive to upkeep, and far to fly,
And no exports of value to our name.
They took the tax break. Left us all to starve.
Not cost effective to support the place.
For years, we broadcast signals out, to carve
Our names into the cold pathways of space.
We watched the skies with hope that slowly waned.
We watched the soil crumble at our feet.
We couldn’t save ourselves on earth so pained
(No one saves themselves. No world’s complete.)
When we were found and offered a way out,
No home was left to lose, or room for doubt.

The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Thursday, December 13
Buffy: I need to get the skinny on Amber. Find out if she's had any colorful episodes before.
Willow: That means hacking illegally into the school's computer system. At last, something *I* can do!
Xander: I'll ask around about her.
Buffy: You guys don't have to get involved.
Xander: What d'ya mean? We're a team! Aren't we a team?
Willow: Yeah! You're the Slayer, and we're, like, the Slayerettes!
Buffy: I just don't like putting you guys in danger.
Xander: Oh, huh, I laugh in the face of danger. Then I hide until it goes away.

there are roses blooming under
your skin. i trace them with breath
& fingers, watch the petals unfold
through your blood, a garden-grown
death like no other. you come from
white stone cloisters & soft-singing
fountains, know nothing of the sea
& her depths that swallow light, the
sea & her fingers that wove into my
lungs long ago, infected them with
saltwater & did not release me. now,
(we) the sea & her waves hunger to
swallow (you &) all this illumination.
(you &) the flowers that you twine
into my hair, the desire in me unknown,
unlit. (you &) your inhalation of gold,
exhalation of silver. all this light
(& you & you & you.)

Read Between the Lines
I lied for you, that's all
sun-drenched laughter
in the library,
life too loud to stay within
your body,
curled into mine
a conch-shell spiral
I know
your face, half-awake
peaceful mornings marred,
alarms blaring
blankets tossed, baring
every dream
we learned
how to hide
our wounds,
we wear them
openly, ugly and invisible
unlovely, unloved
unflinching
we carry on, strong
that's all
the world is
what we make
grasp, shape, wrest
from despair,
nurture from seed
to sunflower
I can do
so little, alone
you took my hand,
apologized, said,
forgive me,
I know this is
too much
for you.
I lied for you, that's all.
I know how to hide;
that's all I can do for you.
(Another one for the Multifandom poetry fest - the prompt was "any fandom, any character, zephyr" and yet again my brain latched onto a character named Zephyr - one of my OCs from an as-yet unfinished story. This is a poem directed to them from the POV of the main character of the story they're from).

For @minutia_r's prompt: The Goblin Emperor, Csethiro/Maia, a sword against your enemies in the Multifandom Poetry Fest 2017
As dainty bauble we could never please
The court, the gossips, but, Serenity,
We'll be a sword against your enemies.
A warrior's heart is out of fashion these
Days, and (like our nose) it's plain to see
As dainty bauble we could never please.
No handicap is kindness; no disease
A gentle heart upon the throne, and we
Can be the sword against your enemies.
You build your bridges, never to appease,
But to do right: a lasting legacy,
No worthless bauble. It could never please
Us to be mere drapery, to cease
The warrior's dance; we choose instead to be
A sharpened sword against your enemies.
So let us share, in hardship and in ease,
Whatever fate thou findst or buildst for thee:
As dainty bauble I could never please --
I'll be a sword against thy enemies.

The Dukatiad
Writing fan poetry is so fun.
Written for the ongoing Multifandom Poetry Fest run by @minutia-r. One-sided Dukat/Sisko. For the prompt "Villain or Antagonist/Hero or Protagonist Relationship, Obsession".
---
We are the warriors noble, the sons of the planets that bore us
Into this galaxy bitter. Our birthright is struggle and conquest.
I am of warriors born, a proud scion of golden Cardassia,
Glory of empires, brought low to rise again ever and stronger,
You my true enemy. Son of the softness, the waters of Terra,
You stand in nobility equal to any the Guls of my planet.
Each day I plan out my courses, the ways that are plotted to snare you,
To bring you back into my battle, to match once again wits between us.
Plans upon plans do I make them, always you rise to the challenge,
Always I want once again to see and to best and to beat you,
Have you admit my successes. And when you win by your own right,
Graciously do I acknowledge the tactics and might that you offer.
None on the planet below you ever could match me for honor.
Servants are they all, the masses that don’t understand a true soldier.
Cowards, guerillas, and traitors. They never offered a rival.
You, though, are someone respected, someone who’s earned my respect.
I will defeat you one day, yes, but I will then honor you just as
You honor me. We are matchless to others. To us we are matched.
Ever we’re destined to meet, and to challenge and clash and withdraw,
Struggling equally in our equal and opposite war.
You see me. You met me on neutral ground that became the last castle,
Chosen by Prophets or Pah-Wraiths. The Prophets chose you as their emblem,
Champion, vessel, and harbinger of their ultimate planning.
This raised you from your beginnings on your soft planet of swamplands,
Made you a man of the starfields, the cold empty deserts of space.
But we are equals and rivals. I cannot let you precede me
In glory and honor. The power of Prophets you hold in your blood,
And so I will meet you, my rival, my enemy worthy of myself.
Here I beseech to the Pah-Wraiths. Choose me and grant me their power.
Make me their champion, vessel, harbinger of their unfolding.
This is the fate of Cardassia. This is the judgement of Bajor.
This is the balance that has been sought by the forces of battle
Such that I meet you again, now no longer merely a mortal,
But too an emissary. Now we are truly matched as we’ve never
Been so before. See me, Sisko. See me and fight me and meet me
As your true rival and brother in the last battle for glory.

Written for the Multifandom Poetry Fest 2018 | Nirvana in Fire; Prince Yu -> Mei Changsu; "To have you is to have everything"
梅花驿寄
长算远略
苏枯之望
我武惟扬
跟头连扯
你倡我随
没药可救
完计弃桓
!!!!!!
Plum blossoms are red
Long games are rad
You chose me
And i was glad
Failures came rolling
Still, you led me on
An idiot needs no saving
For it’s in the plan, he's gone!

minutia-r replied to your post “For the Fanfic Ask Meme: 17, 21, 22?”
I don't remember, did you write anything for the multifandom poetry fest?
No, unfortunately. I’m pretty sure I meant to, but either things got in the way or I couldn’t come up with anything.
