Someone from the crowd yelled, “This dude’s handwriting is great! ”
Darryl’s artistic and exquisite flowy handwriting was as good as a professional calligrapher.
His family hired a calligrapher to teach Darryl when he was still in school. He had not written for a few years but could get back the momentum and writing feelings when he picked up the brush.
The crowd’s eyes were on Darryl’s brush movement as he finally wrote the entire poem on the stone pillar.
He threw the brush aside when he finished writing the last word before walking toward Jewel. He grabbed her hand as they turned and left.
The entire crowd was staring at the stone pillar in astonishment once Darryl left.
On the stone pillar, four stanzas were flamboyantly written.
Penny trembled as she opened her mouth slightly and read Darryl’s poem.
“Over old trees wreathed with ancient vines and flying evening crows.
“Under a small bridge at a nearby cottage, a stream flows.
“On an ancient road in the west wind, a lean horse goes.
“Westward the setting sun goes.
“Far from home was the heartbroken one! ”
Westward the setting sun goes. Far from home was the heartbroken one!
The entire city rumbled in cheers in the blink of an eye.
It was a great poem! There was nothing like it!
The entire poem never mentioned once about autumn, but painted the scene well and felt like autumn. There was even a hint of the autumn breeze!
The crowd was engrossed in repeatedly reading the poem while trying to relive its beauty!
Penny felt her legs went weak as she speechlessly stared at the stone pillar for a very long time.
“Where is that little one—no, I mean Sir Darryl Darby the scholar?” Penny anxiously stomped her feet, and scanned her surroundings but could not see Darryl.
“I think he left.”
“Darryl must be a Poetry Saint! He deserves this title!”
The entire crowd broke out into heated discussions.
Penny bit her lip as she walked down the stage in her high heels. No matter what, she had to find Darryl Darby! The winner of this Poetry League was him for certain?
Penny was remorseful as Darryl was a gifted genius, yet she called him Little Brother.
“Excuse me, please let me pass through.” Penny blushed as she passed through the crowd in search of Darryl throughout the city.
