Story: Empty Sky
Colors: Fog Grey
Supplies and Styles: Saturation, Graffiti,
Word Count: 900ish total
Rating:
Warnings: aside from warning for awkward rhyme schemes, I think we're okay
Notes: Oh it's NaPoWriMo, I said. I should write a bunch of poems for that April Showers challenge for Rainbow Fic, I said. Why am I trying to find rhymes for meteorite at four in the morning, I said.

This grew into an exercise in conveying different speakers through poetry. About half are free verse. Of the rest, roughly speaking, Koushou's is a tanaga, Akane's is a haiku, Keiji's is a shadorma, Wenlong's is a sijo, Chenek's is a ghazal, Vien's is loosely based on a lục bát and Jian's is trying for a classical aesthetic but not a specific form or meter. All errors in syllable counting are my own.

Notes: Oh god it's done. I hope y'all are in the mood for some more Jian/Robin. There are two sections written in first person from Robin's POV because they're from the same novel and I didn't want to rewrite them in the limited third person I was using for Jian. /lazy
