"Statue by the Sea"

Howdy, Doods and Doodettes!

Robby here with an unexpected post. I'm actually writing this from Will's computer as we discuss the details of our upcoming Birthday Bash. You see, I just got a message from Mari asking me for a favor.

She's starting a blog dedicated to poetry, and since we shared some of Vic's writing in our last post, she asked if we could promote her work as well. I'll admit that it's not the kind of thing that we usually post around here (and Will is gonna kill me when he finds out), but I can't say no to a pretty face. 

So, without further ado, here's "Statue by the Sea" by Marianne Rosa.

Troupes of Bards often came to see
the cursed Maiden trapped in stone.
"By dawn", they sang, "she'll be free!"
in lovely voices and magic tones.

But by the time the moon did flee
the Bards' tunes became weary moans.
Their boastful lungs had grown empty
and the cold Maiden stood alone.

They say she still waits by the sea
for the cure she'd always known.
But none could ever hear her plea:
"to break the curse you need but touch the stone".

There. You owe me one, Mari!

Anyway, I gotta get back to planning the best Birthday ever.

Chainsaw cheers,

- Robby

PS: I know we promised not to bring up any weird Julami stuff on here anymore, but Will and I were reviewing one our history textbooks for an assignment and we found a weird picture of one of those Nazca line illustrations that you can only see from the sky. Well, this one looks exactly like Will's drawing of Julami. The thing is, we swear we've never seen it before even though we've already read this part of the book in the class. I'll add a picture below.
