The merging of two completely opposite nations

by reenastar

this is a poem i wrote about Zane and Danica, and what they want for their countries, and what they're doing about it. i loved writing it!

Zane Cobriana,

Slender and seductive,

Pale as newly fallen snow, with hair as black as coal

And eyes as red as garnets

He used to be my enemy,

But now he is my love, my alistair,

In order to stop the fighting of our countries,

I became his Diente, and he my alistair

Now the two countries

Have merged to form one

But it was not without difficulty

They are so different, these two nations

The avians are cold,

Physical contact frowned upon,

Displaying emotion is considered disgraceful,

And feelings are kept buried deep

But the serpientes are warm,

Reveling in the sense of touch

And emotions run unbridled,

Feelings worn openly on one's sleeve

The avians frown upon the serpientes

Feeling they will taint their children,

And to the serpientes, the avians are outlandish,

Not showing affection or emotion

My husband and I pray

That our two very different nations

Will one day be able to set aside differences and co-exist

For if they cannot, we fear neither side will continue to thrive.
