Soldier, Poet, King (Original Poetry Project)
Beth Entrekin for Carnation (Poet)
Carnation, or the Poet, has the ability to speak poems which predict the future. They are never wrong, and it seems there are no way to stop them. She lives in a forest which is eventually attacked, and joins forces with the Soldier to defeat the King.
When she speaks her predictions, her voice becomes a lot more expressionless, as she has no control over when she says them. At other times, her voice is light and vibrant.
(Imagine a dryad from D&D for a visual reference)
All the people stare death and frown,
When they tear the city down
A soldier will come marching through
Knowing that their time is due.
Don’t speak fortune woven lies back at me!
Tales poison my mind and clog my mouth.
I feel I should barely call you mortal,
You’re cold gutted and clearly not normal.
