((Written for the 'Team STRQ' prompt. I chose Taiyang for this challenge since I had never written about him, and I ended up writing a batch of poems about him, from the points of view of his teammates.))
Summer Rose
This is entirely unfair.
His heart shines a brighter gold than even his hair.
But it has been shattered and broken by another
Could this be my chance? Could I be his lover?
The raven has flown away, the winter has come
The whiskey bottles no longer keep him numb
I long for the feel of his lips on my skin
I've made up my mind. I'll step up and step in
I'll help raise his daughter to be a fighter
And help him to see the world is much brighter
Our daughters will share in endless laughter
Until such a time when thus kindly I scatter
\/\/\/\/\/
Raven Branwen
The golden idiot I must leave behind
Even if I will miss his body against mine
My tribe is more important, and they need me now
It's a shame about the girl, but out I must bow
I will miss the good times we always had
Especially the raucous and wild times in bed
But now this scared girl has been blessed with such power
I must have mercy, so her life I will devour
\/\/\/\/\/
Qrow Branwen
The unlucky one offers his melancholy chorus
I'll never forget that time in the forest.
Loneliness and cold drove us together.
I've scarcely had another who was better
The boy with the gold hair and the gorgeous mouth
He has two small lives to worry about now
The golden dragon and the little red slayer
One has Summer's eyes and the other Taiyang's hair
That fiery boy that I met back at Beacon
The world has torn him down and given him every reason
To leave this world forever, but he still perseveres
I can't always be around to dry his tears
Or play 'Big Bad Beowolf' with the kids when he tunes out
They can't raise themselves. He needs to come back now.
The dragon of the sun has been caught in the rain
But keep your head up, Tai. Sunny days will come again.

((I have the headcanon that Taiyang slept with all the members of his team. I mean, we know he got with Raven and Summer, so is Qrow really that much of a stretch? Whatever, I hope these at least made a little sense.))
