Oh how the poet wanders
Vast lands wait ahead
But shall he ponder
Of what the note has said

That was the first one. The one he found at the beginning of the series, when he was just leaving the tiny spawn island. At first he was confused. Who left him the note? There was no name on it and it seemed rather pointless. But he decided to keep it. Maybe someone left it behind.

But then more came. More notes for him.

Tag, tag, who's it?
The new one makes a game
But will he wait and sit
Or make another with a new name

Poor little poet, with a prank gone south
Grian did not listen to a word from his mouth
So with signs shall he strike back
And some lava he does not lack
For the new one will taste the poison
Of the little poet's brand new lesson

Beware of the others
For the scent of death does not smother
As all aim for the prize
Of diamond blocks twice their size
One, two, three
Down for the count
When will they all be free
Of the creator's dragon snout

Joe still didn't understand the notes, but they seemed to come in frequently. It seemed that whenever some big happened, a note would be left behind with a short rhyme about the event. He started to wonder;

Did anyone else get notes?

(okay yeah so i just wanted an excuse to write some rhymes but PSSHHH THAT FACT'S NOT IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW)
