Blessings of the Open Hand, one and all.
After lengthy meditations, I have decided to return my attention to the basin. To stir the dust from my memory, I have decided to run a "Quatrain Quiz". Attached, you will find 3 Quatrains of varying difficulty. The first to send me a missive with the CORRECT answer to one will receive either 10 credits (easy), 20 credits (intermediate) or a wondercrystal (hard). My decision is final. All are welcome to enter, regardless of status or allegiance.
Easy Quatrain:
I am not land, yet I am real,
I touch the Basin's beating heart,
The gods themselves through me can feel,
Where thought and essence never part.
Intermediate Quatrain:
I speak through echoes, not through sound,
I move the world while standing still,
In debate and battle I am found,
I bend to faith, not mortal will.
Hard Quatrain:
Im born where purpose breaks and bends,
Through gods and mortals bound by pain;
I stand where ordered meaning ends,
And choice is crowned through loss and strain.
Bonus 5 credits: What style of Quatrain has been utilized for all 3 of the above?
Always in service of the Golden Heart
