@Azure - it's true, Limericks are difficult! Honestly, anytime one writes a poem in a certain form it ends up being so much harder than you initially think it will be!
Thank you for your entry.
We have reached the final day, my friends! Find your courage and share your words!

A dark colored Fae climbs up on stage, takes a sip of water, looks out over the audience for a long moment, and begins....
[b]
Dead Wind
[/b]
A storm above, a muffled scream
A cloud below, a playful breeze
The wind is kind and filled with light
But wind is cruel and finds delight
In pain for none escape the grasp
Of sickened air and rotting flesh
The smell borne out in blameless air
Brings poisons to the people there
The only hope is ice and snow
That kill the virus before it grows
Ice brought in by distant wind
But ice takes life just as it gives
For wind is outside is distant, chilling
The wind within is hot and filling
Wind brings death for wind brings fire
Wind brings pain and steals desire
Fires brought down from the god
Brings life to some, but death to all
Wind steals life from fires bright
Then shadows creep in from the night
For darkness steals the breathe away
Where it takes it them I cannot say
Once breath is lost it’s never saved
None know better than the quiet wave
The domain of water where air is hidden
Pockets of life with a living coffin
Stealing breath from creatures of air
Who foolishly test the water’s care
Wind brings life but also the end
And death to all who may depend
Upon the breeze that gives them life
That let them live in painful strife
Shouting curses to the gods below
Regretting all the words you stole
From cruelest wind that ne'er forgives
And leaves you at the end of this
Wind that abandons each and all
Claimed by dirt and left to fall

The fedora sporting mirror trots out onto the stage, practically bouncing,
"Hello, my blustery brethren! Good day to you and yours and theirs."
He grins at the crowd, tilting his head a bit, "My name is Lexington and I am here to raise my voice in praise of the glorious Windsinger! I've written a little something in honor of the festival."
He ahems a bit, reaching into his tunic to pull out a scroll and unfurling it.
[i]The Calling Song
My mate she is of Plague
My clan leader is Arcane
Our protector, Lightning
Our clan mother hails from Flame
We all share our peaceful clan
And live in gentle ease
Along the Ascent and Steppes
Under Windsinger's breeze
Each has come into our flight
Through journey's far and frightening
But when they reached our grand plateau
They found their futures brightening
For in the Zephyr Steppes they find
That wind is calm and clearing
And any past they left behind
Is nothing to be fearing
Our journeys meet under his wings
Windbound to wind up here
Where we can share in the song
With our windbourne peers
Our flight is one of variance
For our father welcomes all
And if you can fly in our winds
You're welcome to heed the call
Dragons come from near and far
Brought here on the wind
Drawn by our father's song
May it never end[/i]
The mirror doffs his hat to the crowd cheerfully, "Merry Mistral Jamboree to you all!"

Oh, I'm not sure, it might? I've been going to bed before rollover so it might be.. @_@
I'm so sleepy, I think this host may need to go to bed before the party's over.

Willard Keeper of Peace and Tales stands up in the audience. After a flurry of entries there was a bit of a lull. He waves at a friend and stands grinning.

"On behalf of My beloved Fillipi and respected Zephyr. He bows briefly to the judges @paintminion @layz @scrivello, and his lady-boss and her partner in everything, Zephyr.
"Woo Hoo! What a party this has been." With great pride and geniality he looks around.
"It has been such a joy." He closes his eyes for a moment, then they open and shine with delight.
"My clan has been preparing for this for so long. We have worked so very hard to make this as fun and hospitable as we can. I, we all are doing happy dances. It has been so delightful to play for a while." He gazes fondly at the younglings playing in the breeze nearby.
"My beloved warrior and I have relaxed and truly enjoyed the contest of windy words. It is such a treat to share in what we do best. Words! Fun!" He twirls around his own tail for a moment.
"Most of all, our beloved leaders have been able to dance and sing and FLY!"
(Willard, usually the most reserved of dragons harrumphs and sits down with a bit of a thump.)
