Cake, you've killed me! I have no choice but to write something for this; I love Yeats, and this is one of my favorite poems...no idea what it's going to be, but I expect something tragic and terrible.

An excellent challenge; now I just have to try and live up to the poem!

Seasonal Challenge- The Pilgrim Soul 12 Years, 10 Months ago Karma: 55
Summer is here!(21JUNE) Time for a new seasonal Challenge! With the change of season, how about a change of pace? The challenge is to be inspired by the poem below...

When You Are Old

WHEN you are old and gray and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face among a crowd of stars.
William Butler Yeats



The Pilgrim Soul
Fic/Art Challenge


Use poem for inspiration for fics/arts. Does NOT have to be quoted. I saw an old Kagome reading over the last letter from a lost love, but it can be anything! As Cake is rarely serious, make Cake get emotional and Karma will be bestowed.

Rules:

1. Must be a NEW fic/art:
a. FICS- Must be at LEAST 500 words, no max
b. No rating limit, HOWEVER, any fics/arts M or MA MUST come with a warning BEFORE the link
c. Does NOT have to be a one shot, it can be a continuation of a story, but only link the Challenge Chapter here.
d. It can be a collection of Drabble series TOTALING 500 words minimum.
e. Sess/Kag, of course!

2. Karma will be bestowed this way:
a. 1st poster 3 karma, 2nd poster 2 karma, 3rd poster 1 karma.
b. Make Cake cry, karma to you.

3. Credit to William Butler Yeats must be present. Disclaimers please!

Here's an analysis, but there are lots more! Also, look into the history of this poem, its interesting!

BANNER IS WIP. Thank you for your patience in this!...
