The poet they probably shouldn’t have sent. I watch anime and am sometimes accused of reading books. I'm writing a long gay giant robot story in verse—probably this millennium's best yuri mecha epic poem, through lack of competition.


'Now praise those names on tombs of steel engraved | And toll this rotting country’s countless bells.'


But Sheaf-Tall, spurred by elder’s spirit-speech,
Hellebore Hulk, her massy, soaring steed,
to slamming onrush drove, in fray-keen mood.
Her armour heavy loomed to Kin-Bright’s side.

A minor pleasure of writing giant robot poetry: deciding loom can be a verb of motion once, as a treat.

(On the name 'Hellebore Hulk', see this past post.)
