Chapter 10: The Good Poet of the Castle (3)
"Hello everyone, I'm Alice, a three-star bard, and I'm bringing a love poem - Shadow. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
On stage, a young girl in a pleated skirt appears.
"Look, it's Alice, she's so beautiful!"
"Oh! I know her, she's the youngest three-star bard in the Rhine! ”
"Alice, look here! I'm a fan of yours! ”
The audience was full of joy, and a young and beautiful beautiful poet always attracted everyone's attention. In fact, the same is true of removing the identity of the poet.
A smug smile tugged at the corners of Alice's lips, she had absolute confidence in herself, and her new work, Shadow, had been praised by her mentor, who was a five-star bard.
This time, she is determined to win the Poet of the Year. Taking a deep breath, he began his recitation:
I always dream of you
I dreamed that I had traveled a lot and said a lot to you
I love your shadow so much
That
Can't remember your face
Leave me behind
be
shadow
and shadows
And the shadows
After a poem, she was greeted by warm applause from the audience, young lads whistled again and again, and even mischievous guys shouted: "I am the shadow!" That's right, that's me! There was a chorus of boos.
"Wow, you're Alice, right?" Raymond on the jury was the first to start commenting, "Seriously, this poem touched me and reminded me of my youth. ”
"I like your poems, Alice, I can feel the melancholy in the poems, you express them very well!" Mike gave a thumbs up to the stage.
"A decent piece of work." Audrey just said it simply, but this is already very rare, because there are so many players in front of her, and she hasn't spoken yet.
"Hey, I said Audrey, you can't hold her to your own standards against such a young player. Alice, take it easy, you're doing well! This is a great piece of work, and I think you have a good chance of winning the Poet of the Year, come on! Raymond said.
As soon as Raymond's words came out, the whole hall applauded, and Alice also showed a happy smile, it seems that this time the poet of the year, Alice has been nine out of ten!
"Raymond, I don't think you can say that, as a judge, you can't show any tendencies." Audrey glanced at Raymond disapprovingly and whispered.
"So what's the matter, Alice is already the last contestant to take the stage, don't you think she's the best one today?" Raymond said disapprehantly.
"I think Raymond is right, Alice is indeed the best performer today." Mike chimed in.
"Are you sure this is the last contestant? I remember another Oriental, who you strongly requested. Audrey glanced at the two of them.
"That friend of Alexander! How could we forget him! Raymond grinned exaggeratedly, "I bet he's definitely going to give us a fun afternoon!" ”
"Yes, absolute joy! If the selection criteria for Poet of the Year were who was the funniest, that Oriental would definitely be elected! ”
......
"My dear friends!" The host Vanessa walked up to the stage, "Now I would like to invite the last contestant, Ma Xiaojun, what an interesting name!" ”
"Hello everyone, I'm Ma Xiaojun." Ma Xiaojun walked onto the stage under Alexander's sympathetic gaze, looked at the black head of the audience, and suddenly felt a little frightened in his heart.
But fortunately, it is not the first time to face such a scene, when I was a fashion designer in Mrs. Kim Group, I also participated in several fashion shows with the leader, the only difference is that this time I became the protagonist.
Ma Xiaojun closed his eyes and began to brew his emotions.
"Hey, look at that guy, standing like a log for a long time, did he forget his words?"
"He must be praying to his eastern deities! Haha, an Oriental who doesn't know the height of the sky, doesn't even have a one-star certification from the Bard Guild! How dare you come on stage to compete! ”
"I guess it's a funny show deliberately arranged by the organizers, you look at his dress, he looks like a clown!"
The audience in the audience talked a lot, and many people even booed.
That's what they want, and Raymond and Mike adjust their sittings and get ready to enjoy this feast of joy.
Audrey also shook her head slightly, it seems that this Oriental is destined to make a fool of himself.
"Facing the sea, spring blossoms!" Ma Xiaojun suddenly spoke, because of the bonus of the magic sound spell, his magnetic and thick voice echoed throughout the hall, but it suddenly covered out the noise of the audience.
From tomorrow
Be a happy person
Feed the horses and chop the timber to travel the world
From tomorrow
Care for food and vegetables
I have a house
Facing the sea, spring flowers are blooming
From tomorrow
Communicate with every loved one
Tell them about my happiness
The blissful lightning told me
I'm going to tell everybody
Give every river and every mountain a warm name
Strangers, I bless you
May you have a bright future
May you have a lover and eventually become married
May you be blessed on earth
I just want to face the sea and the spring flowers bloom
When the last word came out of his mouth, a crystal tear unconsciously slipped from the corner of his eye.
In fact, Ma Xiaojun is not a poetry lover in the real sense, especially modern poetry, completely insensitive, except for this Haizi's "Facing the Sea in Spring", I remember the first time I heard this poem in the middle school classroom, and the Chinese teacher's affectionate recitation made Ma Xiaojun unforgettable for a long time.
The reason why I like Haizi's poems may be related to Ma Xiaojun's experience since he was a child, he never saw his parents when he was born, he was brought up by his grumpy grandfather, and there are few real friends, no one will know, under his seemingly big personality, there is a lonely heart hidden.
Haizi's poem made him find a kind of resonance.
From tomorrow onwards, communicating with every relative, isn't this also Ma Xiaojun's wish? In fact, apart from his grandfather, he doesn't even have relatives!
Ma Xiaojun opened his eyes and looked at the audience.
Silence!
Everyone's mouths were wide open, and most of them may not understand the true meaning of the poem, but Ma Xiaojun's magnetic voice full of emotion made them immersed in the beautiful imagery depicted in the poem.
On the judges' bench, Raymond and Mike looked at each other, this is not the result they want to see at all!
As five-star bards, the two of them could feel the deep sadness hidden by the many wonderful images piled up on the surface of the poem, what kind of melancholy, no, not melancholy, despair!
The two men were speechless at all, and they even felt that they were not qualified to comment on such a poem at all.
"This is true poetry!"
Finally, Audrey rose from her chair, breaking the silence that had lasted for a long time. Through the thin lenses of her glasses, you can see her reddened eye circles, and some kind of crystal liquid is glistening in a pair of wonderful eyes.
As the person with the most dedication to poetry among the people present, Audrey was deeply moved.
"Thank you, Ma, for bringing us such great work! Great recitation! ”
Shock! Intense shock!
Audrey felt her voice tremble as she spoke, and she couldn't help but applaud.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang......."
Everyone came to their senses at this time, and the incomparably enthusiastic applause resounded throughout the hall.
"Poet of the Year! Poet of the Year! Poet of the Year! Ma Xiaojun! Ma Xiaojun! ”
In the excited shouts of the audience, Raymond and Mike, who looked confused, also stood up involuntarily and joined the applause.
There is no suspense, Ma Xiaojun was named this year's Poet of the Year, and suddenly became the man of the year in Atlantis.
For a long time, at the castle of Atlantis, from time to time someone would come up to him and greet him with respect: "Hello, Poet of the Year. ”
