I know most of you people don't care much about Shanghai, because it is a World Tour area. But…well, I love that place, basically because of the background music. Yep, background music inspired Blood of Magic (Door to the Sharenian Castle music) and Hands of the Clock (Clocktower music), and now, the Shanghai background music has inspired a poem from me. Enjoy!
Song of Shanghai
Rising, dancing tunes of flame
Bays by sunning streets
Roads that shine with radiant fame
Never-ending beats
-
Rays upon the field of sky
Bright paths paved with light
Down the road, the petals fly
Pavements left and right
-
Rooster crows that signal dawn
Pink skies filled with wind
Flaring fiery sky torn
Fading blue, white-rimmed
-
Lively markets down the way
Men sell goods at stalls
Weapons, clothes, a wide array
Tempting bargain calls
-
Crossing past, out of the bridge
Challenge waits before
In the plains, a rising ridge
And a windswept floor
-
All, throughout, the song remains
A city from the sun
Bright sea city, distant plains—
A tune that has begun.
Haha, over-exaggerated, as are all my poems. But hope you liked it anyway. I rushed I seriously, and it took me around half an hour, typing inclusive (and by the way, whenever I state the time it took for me to finish a poem, it's inclusive of typing).
Rhyming this thing was very hard. I asked my father for help, and he gave me the word "fly" for the second stanza.
