There were many great talents among Raindrop's readers, who had written many poems and lyrics over time. The following were compiled by "Lotus Heart Mortal" and "Tinglou." Digging through old posts must have taken a great deal of effort—many thanks to both fellow Daoists.
All right, back to business. Let's see everyone's poems!
Author: Dragon Who Never Weans
1. Acrostic: Xuanyue Pavilion (the name of the Hundred Refinements group): With a flourish, I stepped into the group chat hall,
Moonlight flowed like water, setting hearts aflame.
Like-minded guests gathered before the gate,
Each voicing their views on Hundred Refinements!
2. Untitled: Last night's stars, last night's rain,
Fans all joined in naming it.
When Hundred Refinements soared into the heavens one day,
Its resounding name would be yours to give.
3. Untitled: Crossing a thousand mountains, I beheld Wang Tinglou,
Though called a man, he was gentle too.
One person held up an entire sky,
Daring Hundred Refinements to seek a marquisate!
4. Untitled: Countless alternate accounts joined the fun,
My skill was poor, so please do not laugh.
With one heart, I kept the book reviews lively;
No great merit, perhaps, but there was hard work.
5. Untitled
Fellow Daoists, do not panic,
The parasol tree would naturally draw the Phoenix.
If your poetry was sung with brilliance,
Even heavenly maidens would descend to earth.
Author: Sun Immortal Vulture
1. Untitled
Milk Dragon flew with Tinglou,
And the immortal vulture wished for such a journey too.
After a thousand years of Hundred Refinements, one attained the Dao of immortality;
Even mortals could roam the clouds and skies.

To Female Fellow Daoists
Talented women need not hide away in their chambers,
The fragrance of scholarship and elegant ink surpassed the pipa.
Though zither music curled around all gentlemen,
