《Shards of Sugar (2022 - x) - [Poetry By Eclipse 3]》42.) willow trees in autumn
Advertisement
Autumn; the season of change,
where green trees dye their leaves warm shades.
Reds, ambers, browns and golds - a wide range!
All things old sliced off with silvering blades.
Youths, like autumnal leaves, have been displaced.
Some have moved out, have been blessed, graced.
Know that the willow trees do not weep or cry,
they merely bend down to seek their reflections in nearby water.
They just want to see how they have changed, 'by
the seasons it's true!
I've grown so green, and so have you!'
They yell to each-other, elated, ecstatic.
Telling themselves how they look fantastic.
Changing their colours for the cold yet to come,
that will kill most nature, and coat all in snow.
Cold for most but comforting for some.
Now the freezing winds do blow.
Oh, and the willows are misperceived as being riddled with melancholia,
while the autumnal skies are still warm, not yet white or magnolia.
So, come, don't be afraid.
Ride the wind to lands of change to evolve.
Let the past die and fade
while you morph and dissolve
all that is old.
To become new, bold.
Walk along with time
to your final form, sublime,
that rests in winter, still.
Shivering beside the mill.

Good Guy Necromancer
Necromancers are murderous, repulsive, utterly ungodly creatures. And then there's Jerry. Jerry is a novice necromancer who treats his undead warmly, seeks to befriend people instead of harvest their bodies, and doesn't mind cracking a skull or two when needed. He genuinely is a good guy—too bad nobody believes him. Trying to discover his place in the world, Jerry will live great adventures. He will make friends, each unique in their own way, and together, they will travel through a variety of striking environments; from a tiny village, to the land of the dead, to a jolly archipelago, to a kingdom on a beanstalk. To save a world that shuns him, Jerry must stand against a large organization of arrogant, mighty wizards. He strives to become stronger while maintaining his kindness, only to realize that, maybe, gentle hearts make the greatest necromancers. This is the story of a delightful man in a harsh world—full of warmth, action, and wise-cracking bone puns. Chapters are usually 2-3k words, and updates are 3/week: Mon, Wed, Fri. If you're looking for another fun, action-packed adventure, check out Cultivator vs. System by yours truly, available on Kindle, KU, and Audible. But read Good Guy Necromancer first.
