Patriotic Poetry Competition

Over a thousand years ago, the world was a battlefield. People with different powers fought relentlessly, and war and chaos became a daily routine. It was an age without peace until a mysterious woman—believed by many to be a divine messenger—arrived and changed everything. She proposed a competition to determine the five strongest abilities, and the victors would be crowned as rulers. The competition was fierce and merciless, but in the end, five champions emerged: the Lightning King, the Weapon Nation King, the Fire King, the Ice King, and the Air Queen. As a reward for their triumph, they were gifted special crowns that granted them immortality. The only way they could lose their crowns—and their lives—was by being defeated by their own bloodlines. With their newfound powers, the five rulers created nations, carved out territories, and established family lines. Under their reign, knights, branch leaders, princes, princesses, commanders, generals, and lieutenants formed a new world order. However, as with all things, peace came with its price. There was never good without bad. And now, the paths of the five nations are set to cross again. Which will you choose? The prodigies of the Lightning Nation, the bloodthirsty warriors of the Weapon Nation, the fiery determination of the Fire Nation, the analytical tacticians of the Ice Nation, or the peaceful killers of the Air Nation? All roads will converge in the "Five Nations"

After failed attempts with PTSD counselors, his daughter recommends that he begin volunteering on the aircraft carrier CV-10 in Charleston, South Carolina. Reluctantly, Bill agrees, but his decision proves difficult when he stumbles back into the world of Corsairs, the plane he'd rather forget. Seeing that The Incident still haunts him, Bill's new friends attempt to help him remember his long-lost joy; he attends Bulldog Tours, learns the stories of other veterans, and strangely finds himself near the Corsair more than he would like. While nothing will free his mind from the traumatizing Incident, Bill must find a way to push past his grief and guilt to live the life he is meant to live--and rekindle his best friend's legacy before he succumbs. *** *There is a queer side character in this story, but it remains relatively quiet and is not the story's primary focus.* *Genre: Wildcard (elements of Historical Fiction, General Fiction, Mystery, Adventure, Drama, and Coming-of-Age)* Are you curious about the airplanes we have at Patriots Point?

This is my third poetry to BFF, written on February 6th, 2024. You said dolphins clapping sea tide in dream By: Amoureax Amant You said dolphins clapping sea tide in dream, sea tide crashing on shore laid in sunbeam, shore sand kissing ocean waved on island, ocean turning orange orange-stained sand. You came like floating cloud aloft blue sea, watched turtles slept under coconut tree, with melody of birds came with sea tide, with reflection drifting toward shoreside. You went like falling rain aloft heaven, fluttered like morning dew dropped in ocean, vanished like foam of fish fluttered in air, like spray of sea blossomed fairer than fair. Perhaps you were mirage appeared garden, or else you were angel came back heaven.

This is my second poetry to my BFF, written on October 28th, 2023. I envied redwood stretched toward heaven By: Amoureax Amant I envied redwood stretched toward heaven, whose branch in branch like hand in cloud ocean, whose leaves like thread weaved curtain covered sky, whose spot like stage light lit for butterfly. I envied stray bird hummed with bugs echo, whose siren song spread through redwood shadow, whose feather swirled like lone-drifting snowflake, whose wings like flash slipped through green amber lake. I envied cowboy rode through siren sight, whose horse ran on green sea plain at twilight, whose gun aimed at wild deer in green forest, whose bonfire cooked deer meat in light gauze mist. I envied fish blew bubble in amber, whose bubble bloomed as gorgeous as flower.

This is my first poetry to my BFF, written on March 7th, 2023. Peach blossom bloomed as gorgeous as bloom rain By: Amoureax Amant Peach blossom bloomed as gorgeous as bloom rain, at branch in full peach blossom on mountain, but left tree branch with wind through amber lake, toward fragrant sea like drifting snowflake. Just left when butterfly danced through peach tree, just left when hummingbird echoed with bee, when rising sun turned dark cloud peach blossom, when drifting rain fell from misty cloud dome. What if peach blossom stayed till September, peach blossom might neither dance through water, nor travel with light breeze through small arbor, toward vast sea like boat sailed from harbor. What if peach asked of peach blossom's journey, here's the answer, freer than in valley.

The Great Qin Empire is a sweeping historical novel chronicling the rise and fall of the Qin state. Emerging from the ferocious competition among rival warlords, the Qin Empire established a powerful, unified dynasty and pioneered a new Iron Age civilization. Yet it lasted only 15 years, vanishing like a fleeting meteor. Within this dramatic historical arc lie countless legendary tales of heroes, statesmen, and their intertwined fates-noble or wicked, heroic or ordinary-all composing a grand historical symphony. The social framework and cultural traditions forged by the Qin Empire continue to shape Chinese life today, forming a cornerstone of the nation's spiritual identity. The Qin Empire rose through ruthless competition, embodying the pragmatic, innovative spirit of its era. It championed legalism, sweeping reforms, centralized governance, and relentless state-building. Over 160 years and six generations of rulers, it achieved a revolutionary transformation, unifying China and ushering in a new Iron Age civilization that redefined agricultural society. This monumental literary work vividly portrays Qin's arduous journey from near-collapse to dominance during the Warring States period (475-221 BCE). Beginning with Duke Xiao of Qin, the state pursued reforms and modernization through generations of unyielding effort, ultimately conquering rival states to unify China.

In the near future, "New Era Biology", a global giant in genetic technology, has developed a genetically modified drug named "Wolfblood Serum", claiming that it can cure terminal illnesses and enhance physical fitness. However, the drug accidentally activates the ancient werewolf genes in humans, leading to the emergence of the "Wolfblood" group on a global scale. They possess the form of wolves, superhuman self-healing abilities, and heightened perception, but are rejected by society due to their uncontrollable bloodthirsty instincts. The protagonist, Irene (a hybrid Wolfblood with half-human and half-wolf genes), is drawn into the "Genetic Hunting Ground" - a global survival competition manipulated by a dark web organization. The participants are required to hunt down other Wolfbloods to seize genetic fragments, and the final winner will obtain the "Perfect Serum" to lift the bloodthirsty curse. As the competition progresses, Irene discovers that behind the hunting ground lies a doomsday conspiracy of New Era Biology, and her genes are actually the key to unlocking the code of human evolution.
