Here's something I did as a class assignment. I'm not much of a poem writer, myself, so I ended up starting with the first stanza of one of Y'lani's songs. The theme was, "Connecting Communities, Peace and Prosperity".
Tales from Lost Nights
With a passion for all, he held out his hands
Only to be dealt a blade with disastrous plans
No courage, no strength, could keep him from running
And so he changed, alas, now very cunning!
Bright as the moon over starlight
His people feared and fretted, stirred no quarrels or fights
They lit the flames of the night, the night!
Their union defaced by an infectious plight
With a retreat for all, she holds out her knife
Only to be defied by a king razed by strife
No promises, no lies could keep her from slaying
And so she’s deranged, alas, left for laying!
Lost like the widow in white
Her family begged and pleaded, prayed lost love’s might
They let their hearts fall alight, alight!
Their merger unlaced by a formidable height
Our battles are waged with smiles and sighs
No blades, no knives, no arrogance and lies
We, their people, have learned from before
And have grown to love one another at core
This is our tale
