Coal Black Tree

A monstrous growth

erupting from soil

behold the coal black tree

The tree breathes in

great gasps of clean air

and spews out black foul fumes

That skew the skies

and poison the world

bringing terror and death

The leaves are sharp

dull tarnished silver

they clang when they fall free

Gather the leaves

be mindful of cuts

they can slice through your flesh

Bundle this wealth

that ruins your life

happy you will not be

From Keeper of Lore 1:3

The Lore Crow Order

Menagerie of lore 

All the knowledge of yore

Say the rimes with me

For I am a Lore Crow

Many things I do know

Such as history

We know the ways of life

How to overcome strife

And succumb to death.

I have studied so long

My memory is strong

I have endless breath

We keep spoken lore strong

through endless years so long

We must not forget

Our scribes write the lore

In large books we adore

Worth more than garnets

We pass lore to the young

They learn as rimes are sung

What was and shall be

They will keep tradition 

Yet seek their ambition

Made ready by me 

When my neighbors have need

They come and visit me

To make a demand

I answer their query

With deep knowledge very

Readily at hand

When the world did just end

The knowledge to defend

Seed Wrenrock’s task sworn

The year she met her Fate

Fifteen seventy eight

Our Order was born

We are each called Lore Crow

To make us all feel low

The jealous debase

Crows speak much and are smart

This slur we took to heart

Lore Crows we embrace
