A Tear of Joy

If in all the long and countless years
a single year, between the years,
I cry a lone and little tear
a tear of joy, between the tears,

if only I can hold this tear
its memory, so weak and dear,
then all the long and painful years
shall make place for a blissful cheer.

So this is the first serious try I've ever done at anything poetic, it just came to me when I was on my bike going home from school. And then I thought some others have shown their pieces of poetry on here, so maybe they can rate it with their greater experience (and of course anyone else is welcome to do so too .

Nice poem! ;D

Okay, so for my birthday I got a scanner, something I had been wanting for eternity. Anyway, I was playing around with it today and decided to scan in something I drew a while ago when I wanted to make a picture of some part of a world I'm building with a friend. Too bad though that the whole real picture was too large for my scanner to fully get it and you can also see some color issues. Finally I've tinkered with it a bit with photoshop. So again, since I don't draw very often, here's a very experimental experiment, posted here to see what people think:

The Fate of Kings

The immortal god-king stands upon the great ridge on the edge of the blessed fields of Heaven, knowing that underneath his gaze and behind the clouds lies Ardulace, the world of mortals and of war. While behind him the great statues of his forefathers watch over him and the majestic northern watchtower by the Great Crater overshadows all, he doubts whether he should not go down there and take up a more active role in the great war of Good versus Evil.
