Vernal Mermay Badge 2 — Electric we definitely didn't plan this-aloo

I must go up to the shore again, to the coast and the glowering sun,
And all I ask is place to stand, and dry land on which to run;
And the sand's squeak and the bird's shriek, and the white clouds racing,
And the wavering haze on the land's face, and the loud waves breaking.


I must go up to the land again, for the call of the sun-baked plain
Is a heady call and a steady call that can not be restrained;
And all I ask is a scorched path and the crackling dry grass swaying,
And the flung dust of the wind's gust, and sound of the land-beasts braying.


I must go up to the shore again, to the tideless burns and the brakes,
To the worm's way, and the wolves way, and the saltless looking-glass lakes
And all I ask is a plagiarised verse from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.

I love you like the rush of a wave,
and the bubbles tickling my back.
Seafoam splashes kissing the air,
and the intensity of a shark attack.





Thank you all so much for helping me with these events.
 
Where the Oceans Dream

Beneath the moonlit waves, merfolk danced beneath the currents
While pirate ships above pressed on through storm and spray
Cast in flickering light, their faces lit with fear
The sky split asunder, lightning tore the air.

Coral reefs below bloomed in vibrant stillness
She danced among the waves, ghostly pale
Leaping o'er waves the dolphins played in the spray
While shadows coiled beneath in quiet swell.

Beneath the storm-tossed sea, while winds cried out above,
The surface thrashed—but all below was still.
She swam betwixt the coral, quiet as a shadow,
Unaware the tide would soon turn chill.

Tides pulled and pushed with no escape
Moonlight filtered down below-
Her silver touch too faint to pierce the surface
Leaving shadows where secrets grew.

Beneath the coral whispered, secrets old as day
While she slipped through currents, pale and far away,
Stormlight split the sky, waves rose with ghostly cry
Unaware the sea would turn to shades of gray

As thunder rumbled faintly, chasing light away
The wind grew teeth above, the sky a bruising hue
Clouds loomed like ghosts as sails strained in the gale
Waves churned in the hurricane's eye, the air gone deathly still.

And the sea held its breath, for what none could foretell
The deep sang low, as if it too could sense the spell
The ocean writhed, relentless in its wrath
Unaware the dawn would toll a silent knell
The deep thrummed with storm's far cry
Riven by Thor's mighty hammer.

OOC: It has been a while since I wrote poetry. I also had to cut this off to make it under 250 words.
 

Phew.
It's still May,
at least in Central time.
So gimme the fucking turtle badge!!! 😤
…Pleaseeee…. ?
I realllly want it to be mine 🥺👉👈

I rhymed your words together,
I tried to make them cool.
Sooo, helllooo.
refresh, refresh, refresh
Where's the tuuurtle?
I've followed all the rules!

I wrote a rap song about turtles.

Sing along if you know the words.

(Intro)
Yeah...
Yung Turtle, baby
I don't run, mo'fucka, I glide
C'mon, let's slide

(Verse 1)
I'm in my fuckin' shell like I'm duckin' the feds
Eyes low, movin' slow, but I'm ten steps ahead
Snappin' like fingers when I'm slappin' on them beats
I got green on my mind like I'm livin' in the reef

I don't chase, I attract, like the tide to the moon
You speedin' through life, I just cruise to the tune
They call me cold-blooded, I don't flinch or fold
I been here since the scrolls, yeah, I'm really fuckin' old

(Chorus)
Shell on my back like I'm ridin' with weight
Movin' like molasses but, bitch, you know I'm great
Ain't fast, but I last, I'm the king of the crawl
You might be a G, but I'm a turtle, y'all

(Outro)
Yeah, yeah...
Time don't phase me, y'all
Yung Turtle, keepin' it fresh to death
Aight then, turn off the beat
 
I had no idea what to do all damn day >:( but here is a haiku finally

summertime evening
a graceful turtle dances
smiling beneath waves
 
Your tone brings memories of the ocean in the moonlit sky,
harmonious, calming and as beautiful as a butterfly.
Waves clashing into the sand with such tranquility,

like your hands streaming against the surface with a serene ability.

Bringing me peace in a world of chaos,
closing my eyes and listening to raindrops.
Sitting here on the beach, being reminded of you,
ready and willing to start anew.
