Twirling a page
I travel unknown worlds, lands
For days, for years

I walk into great battles
Swords guns, unknown weaponry

Live in palaces
Befriend queens, kings, and nobility
Tea, cakes, sour and sweet

Many festivals I’ve seen
On mountains, skies, and the sea

Pixies, cyborgs
Species unknown to this world
Traveled wide and far

On the wings of novels and stories
So much splendor I’ve seen, unknown to you

The author's comments:
This is a flip-off an ancient Japanese poetry format called a Renga. It involves two people making the alternating verses, but I did this on my own.
