Alright, so I'm assuming people who lurk here in the literature saw that there was a writing contest during the event. If you didn't, there was.
Anyway, I didn't win but I'm still proud of my really badly written poem because I liked what it was about. So I'm posting it here. Hope you guys like it!
Quote:
On the Island of Menewsha,
All was well.
Nobody was in trouble,
Nor going to hell.

But then an odd thing happened,
And snow began to fall.
The wise Mayor of Menewsha,
Knew that it was time to return to Town Hall.

Racking his brain for an idea,
Mr. Mayor started to frown.
What in the world hadn’t been done,
As an event in this island town?

As the flakes passed by his window,
The top-hatted man glanced down below.
And saw a handful of children,
Playing in the snow.

“Ah hah!” he shouted
and started to write.
And called into his office his staff,
Despite the late time of night.

The very next morning,
Four important people were sent for.
An hour later three arrived,
Although in the case of one, it was a little more.

Yawning, Vicktoria Valentine moaned,
Having lost some beauty sleep,
And demanded to know why
The Mayor wanted to speak.

Nalin Sun merely looked surprised,
As he heard Mr. Mayor’s plot.
For who was he to lead a team,
But he agreed, right there, on the spot.

Cessy, the little basket of fun,
Jumped for joy.
And started to plan,
The event becoming her new toy.

And Abel, although he prefers the name Cain
Shrugged his shoulders.
Wondering why anyone would compete,
To make a scarf for stacked up snow boulders.

So off they went to the forums,
To promote their teams.
Hoping that they would attract friends,
With their personality’s themes.

Competitive Abel, Loving Vicktoria
Both of them vying for the most.
Fun-loving Cessy and Kind Nalin,
Just wanting to get up and post!

But as the competition began,
Something happened.
And Mr. Mayor shook his head,
Beginning to be saddened.

Despite the idea of the holiday,
That of family, love, and friends,
The teams began to compete,
To the point where they couldn’t make amends.

“STOP!” shouted the Mayor,
pointing to Channah’s hard work.
“You have given the yarn,
but many a Menewshan is being a jerk!

Gather around, friends and foe,
I’m suspending this event
Until all this idiotic fighting,
You all promise to relent!”

All Menewshan’s frowned,
Saying it was all in good fun.
But Mr. Mayor shook his head,
And said that Greed had won.

Gathering together in one huge thread,
The Menewshan’s began to think.
How could they have forgotten the holiday?
And ended up on war’s brink?

Pooling together as one,
The teams began to bother Greed.
And soon they gathered enough yarn,
For Channah’s scarf to feed.

Mr. Mayor smiled,
And handed out prizes to all,
But couldn’t resist saying one more thing,
In the most irritating drawl.

“You all have learned your lesson,
I hope?
And no longer will cause me,
To become sad and mope?

Then if you all agree,
I deem this event a success!
And I ask you all,
Allow me to bless.

May you never be greedy again,
May every holiday season be fun.
I hope you learned something from our winter festival,
And perhaps we’ll meet again at the festival of the sun!”
I warned you before that it was badly written but...
Well, I wrote it in a half hour or so what do you expect?
I still think it's cute!

It's very nice. A little akward in places, but very descriptive.
