  Character Poetry Contest





This is a contest that will run periodically. We have a lot of writer&apos;s on the wiki, and a lot of user&apos;s have incorporated their creativity skills into their character&apos;s back stories.

Hyu
Basically, it is about Mina's life story, from her birth to her arrival at Camp Half-Blood. It is from her perspective, but made it seem that it wasn't, using the Moirae Sisters (Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos) as her 'narrators'. It is for the reader to guess whom Mina described as people who settled on differently described looms. She described how her father's work in the casino made her irritated at game's of chance and luck itself, and decided to create her own luck, rather than believe in it.



 MOIRA  by: Mina Moore

''On early loom settled young spinner, Rolled the spool of lady luck's daughter, Spun her eyes of trees that are fresher, And weaved her helmet of hair, dark and fair. ''

''Lady luck's daughter, seven years of age, Thread of life states staking for her to engage. Oh, daughter, thought it was personal wage, But instead granted to her was others' rage. ''

''On midway loom settled lots' disperser, Stretched the thread of lady luck's daughter, Spun the maturing figure as beautiful as Aether, And weaved her armor of stone, hard and bare. ''

''Lady Luck's daughter, on middle stage, Thread of life sewn to mastiff on chasing rage. Oh, daughter, thought Thanatos was in her cage, But instead found Soteria in youth bearing a gage.''

''Lady Luck's daughter, as if Dionysus' offspring, Lived life of all joy that merriment can bring. Oh, daughter, on a passing boy her lips are pressing, And found the tree of learning itself rotting.''

''On farthermost loom settled scissor-bearing cutter, With the thread of daughter's patriarch in the gutter, Cut debtor's life, ended up on darkness' path ever harsher, Destroyed Lady Luck's shrine, made the daughter flee from the killer.''

''Lady Luck's daughter, trapped in sand and sun, Never found the reason to jot the word fun. Oh, daughter, fiends' needle never a pun, But a rainbow shone bright, and put her into quite a stun.''

''Lady Luck's daughter, now brought to magical land, Realized what luck can make her picture bland. Oh, daughter, with her bare hand, Believed that luck's Genesis will be grand.''

<p style="text-align:center;">''On earthly loom settled Lady Luck's daughter in free glee, Under the shade of a never ageing tree, Spun her own thread, rolled her own spool to never flee, The fact that she can weave her own Moira, her own destiny.''

Broken
<p style="text-align:center;"> Your Shot

<p style="text-align:center;">

By Ember Glass

''A test, the game is ready and all set: A pistol, one bullet in, one target. Fear, screams, danger, pressure, slow death inside, Release your bullet and free those that bind. A bullet will never shoot itself out; If you deserve it, learn to never doubt. Standing there, frozen, won't buy a life, Luck itself wont get whither in life's strife. No training, heart of luck, dies in cold sweat; Warriors must believe in cause and effect. You take your shot to sink or accelerate, Reality and dreams must separate. Fire this to the whole world, take what you've got; 'What'll be earned will always be from 'your shot.

Author's Note:



"You are not by luck, but what you mold yourself in. "Luck" is the effect of our doings, it is the fruits of our labor. It does not define what you are, what you feel, and what you do. It is by fate. People seem to be blinded, but once you scan through everything, you realize the reality of cause and effect. Tyche is the to reward to deserving, not the weak."

Poem:

 The Lucky Girl 

''There was a loved child  She didn't know her mom  Because she didn't know how to ask  She only had her dad  and she loved him very much  but she wanted to know things  Especially who her mother is '' ''But she didn't think she'd get an answer  And no one was able to help her  She's raised up well  She's raised thoughts which fell  Yet she didn't know she was lucky''

''There was a little kid  She didn't know her mom  Because someone else has played the role  She had her newly wedded dad  And a stepmother who loved her  Yet she used to want to know things  But all she'll ever be is clueless  And now that she doesn't mind,  She lost everything  All that she ever loved's gone  All that she ever felt's done  And she didn't feel lucky''

''There was a lone girl  She didn't know her mom  Because she had no one to ask  She stayed with the devils  And lived like a prisoner  But the unfortunate young thing,  had so much more to go '' ''Most of them was pain  And she's stuck in her own thoughts  Just to run away from reality  Just to run away from her destiny  She didn't think she's anywhere near lucky ''

''There was a broken teen  She found out about her mom  Through the breach of her freedom  She's escaped from the little hell  And was absolutely homeless  She was yet attacked,  But from pain, she learned  to fight back and be strong  And take her wrath for her defense  And finally, the young lady was free  And finally, the young lady was happy  And through the misfortune, maybe she was lucky ''

Lexi wrote this about her fathers success. She wrote this to remember him for ever and always, in hopes that one day she can return to his house and show him. In hopes that maybe just maybe, he will be proud of her writing for once.

<p style="text-align:center;"> The Luck of Life

<p style="text-align:center;">By: Lexi Mansin



''People say you can't see luck, but it seems luck has followed me. Everything I do, seems to revolve around a lucky leaf. Victory comes easy to me, just like the waves of a sea. Luck just seems to follow me.

My family filled with sorrow and pain, I packed up my bags and boarded a plane. Moving to the big city to follow my dreams, money began to flow like a feather in a stream.<br/ />Luck just seems to follow me.

Now scared and frail, my parents worried I may fail. I continue my journey, still in good faith, I turn around and stand face to face, with a companion who is now very close to me. Luck just seems to follow me.

Now old and frail, my skin has become pail. I sit alone rocking in a chair inside my glorious mansion. My dreams paid off, but one question continues to haunt me was it complete luck, or souly me? Luck just seems to follow me.

Lying in my grave, remembering my younger days. I imagine if I had a second chance, would luck still follow me? I imagine that one day I will be free. Luck just seems to follow me.''
