Duskreaver Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Dang! Beat me too it... At first I thought it was a delicious irony that the title of a thread about spelling and grammar had been misspelled.... but I was seemingly mistaken, much to my disappointment.

Playwrights reflect Life with Words. Malchik masters both. (Ok it isnt a great Haiku but I did try. Give me a break. :D ) Much pleased was I to see the Playwright answer meto know the language has one such as he who makes an art of speech, but who am I to teachthose who are more than I shall ever be? To all it should be plain, thou hast the more agile brainas anyone who reads can surely see. Sometimes the game is tough, but to cry, "Hold! Enough!"Is a thought most objectionable to me. Though I think the game is fun, if thou wouldst call it 'done'Then I concede and leave the field to thee. But if 'lay on' thou would, I would think it very goodI rest me on my lance and wait to see.

Malchik Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Caveatar 'Tis not my wish your offer to rebuff.The moderators will cry 'that's enough'This forum is for Morrowind and stuffSo poetry is spamming - sure is tough.I hear their distant voices getting gruff.Their locking fingers itch. They huff and puff.Perhaps it's fair, though we may find it roughWhen all we do is rhyming, off the cuff.If we now grovel, give their egos 'puff',They might be kinder and not quite so bluffAnd overlook this as a piece of fluff.Let's face it - well, by now it's pretty duff! PS I've PM'd you a monologue script Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Even a moderator most myopicWill tolerate this in 'off topic' :P Pray, continue to entertain the crowdSpam 'tis not, I declare aloud. To match verse with you I cannot hopeWith rhymes my skills can barely cope :ph34r: With the Dark 0ne I did pleadA special forum to concedeFor poetry, verse and other artAlas, I did not sway the ruler's heart So if in poetry thou wishest to contestI judge that this place be the bestLet soon the war of bards beginTo participate the aim, not to win. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switch Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I for one do not appreciate poetry.Which is probably why I cannot rhyme. Ey.All poetry threads will be considered as spamAnd with Spam-Cleaver I will go wham. On your skull. That was great huh? :P Nah, poetry is fine, as long as it doesn't deteriorate to one liners or talentless blithering like I just demonstrated :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
