Four Seasons
Poetry Collab for Saeran Zine
At the start of spring, sprouts two plants from a single seed. One shrivels while the other stands tall and flees, abandoning the weaker. But he’ll be back. He promised. The harsh, cracked soil provides no nourishment, and instead weeds USELESS! WEAK!! AIRHEAD!!! Deep rooted bondage chokes his life away. Until the Savior breaks the soil. and plucks him up. Stormy showers bring cleansing, dear flower, she said, before the downpour Pitter patter drip drop. He’s not coming back. He’s not. He’s not. He’s NOT.
Summer heat evaporates the storm as the plant puts on magenta petals. He thrives in Paradise’s garden colorful and bright. The sweet aroma soon lures a Princess. If only she could stay forever. Don’t go. Don’t abandon me. . . . . .I miss you. A new seed sprouts within fighting to get out. It hurts.
The air chills as thorns rip through. Chlorophyll and blood seep as his leaves wither. Autumn has transformed his pain into rage. A desperate thirst to slice up the Traitor and embrace the Princess with his brambles, choking her with his love. If only he could. . . Dead leaves cascade around him as his world crumbles and dulls into further decay. Isn’t it splendidly hysterical? Endlessly cackling until tears drip, he watches as the Traitor sews more lies.
Snowflakes soon fall from his frozen cheeks. as winter kills all. An ice king rises above the rest. Better than all. Stronger than weak Spring. Stronger than stupid Summer. Stronger than broken Autumn. The strongest of all! Unlike the others, he doesn’t need the Princess. She’s the worst of all. USELESS! WEAK!! AIRHEAD!!! Trapped in his snow globe, that toy will freeze. So that she can never leave him. But. . .She doesn’t want to leave? Her hideous eyes. That revolting scent. It makes him vomit teal fertilizer. Everything melts into slush as the glass shatters.
Soon everything thaws and brightens as Spring returns. Whether it’s chilly and slow to bloom, with naked trees and guilty storms or warm and thriving, with a cloudless sky the future promises nothing but happiness.
This was my main piece for @saeranzine I was really excited to be able to write something that involved each of the Saeran personas. They all fit perfectly into a season, which ties in wonderfully with the Ray Route ending song~
@servantofpsychotic was kind enough to draw the illustrations and did a lovely job. I was honestly thrilled that she was able to do a picture for each part of the poem sjfklsdjfkls thank you so much T///T Check out her account for more adorable art :3
I’m so glad I got to be part of the project and this is honestly what encouraged me to start my tumblr and make MM fics and art. I literally wrote a bunch of MM poems just to apply to this project lol on a crazy whim. I met so many great people too because of this. It honestly changed my life <3
