1st place AaronCain

 

Reflecting the light that brought us Life,

A shining beaken in the midst of night

Forever there for lovers true sight,

an omen for war for many ancient Knight

 

For the future we seek,

to reach the furthest star

To get out of the darkness

We need to reach far

 

The fallen and the sacrificed lay under its light

War and Peace for our gods their delight

In remembrance of hero’s in our sky it will be

The Moon in its beauty for us all to see.

 

2nd place Sinaka

 

Moon Runes

Three of the men once left their home of sunshine

Accompanied by the great god of sun,

To make the first child steps of mankind into the stars

Brave, arm and soul strong, with buzzing in their heart.

 

Sailing to find calm seas under an angel’s guide

They took precious peace with themselves in their Columbiad.

Unaware of the secrets their destination might hide

A beautiful desert was waiting there setting up a captivating sight.

 

Now emu steps in the dead well of rocks and dust

Telling the eternal tale of men written in the stars

How they traveled far seeking a new future

Just to look back and to find home again, the blue Earth.

Dear Moon,

Forgive the lateness of this letter

Which I should have written sooner

Concerning those who should know better

And their behaviour, my dear Luna.

 

For I have learned from forced confession

That they, without prior consent,

Assumed from you willing accession

And into space, a vessel sent.

 

My children, though I love them dearly,

Have poor judgement. That being the case,

I cannot fathom why they clearly

longed to stab you in the face.

 

They shall of course remove the flag,

And the litter they have left behind,

I assure you, they shall cease to brag,

Once they have a piece of my mind!

 

So again, dear Luna, I am sorry,

That my children got out of hand,

These ‘astronauts’ to make me worry,

But if you had your own, you’d understand.

 

Specially thanks to player Nevidni who made the team laugh :slight_smile:

 

I’m stuck on the moon,

Screaming out loud,

But that kinda sucks,

Cause nobody hears me.
