For Round One: Lucky

Because I'll be out of town, I won't be able to post the poem for Round Two so I'll put it here just in case I make it that far:D

Hey @Quillfeather is it alright if I change which poem I have for Round Two in case it turns out I do have time? I might have written a better poem by then ><
If you ever want to talk, please feel free to PM me for any reason! ^^

In the past I think there's been people who fill in for folks who didn't submit something, and I don't know if that's how you wanna do things, but just in case, and since there's several people still missing, I figured I'd send a poem in. feel free to ignore it if that's not how you want this to work :]

@OrabellaAvenue
seince you are doing it early yes because it wont be judged until round 2 begins. So even though the rule is that you can only submit once per round. But we can just say that this is a backup for of you don't have time rather then a submission if that makes sense.

@Rook yes thank you very much that will be great in case some people don't submit by tomorrow morning!
that the powerful play goes on
And you may contribute a verse
