Caveatar Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 fallen, key, bright, stone Fallen heroes beneath the StoneFacing Death with courage; aloneTo Honor they have found the KeyBright is their story in my memory ----While One Alone battles the dragonsSome sit drowning action in flagonsAs they tell lies to gain false fameA real hero faces the dragon's flame /me cuts the epic short. :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamNeko Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 fallen, key, bright, stone While the bard, it seems, will sing a song, of fallen heroes turned to stone, he will sing tooof those with futures bright. The key to the bard's song is notin the details that he overstates,but the truth behind the adventureof many great heroes, make no mistakes.

Malchik Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Often when drunk I've fallen before I reached my doorAnd with the key clutched in my hand I pass out on the floorThen in the morning waken, not feeling very brightAnd find the lintel stone has been my pillow for the night.

ThetaOrionis01 Posted November 7, 2003 Author Share Posted November 7, 2003 Fallen stone, a broken archReminders of time's march.Once our future looked so brightNow remains but approaching nightTo our fortune we once held the keyBut wasted this our opportunity A mighty power did we wieldNone dared oppose us in the fieldThe power of gods was in our handWe let it run away, like sandIn greed's tight grip we were held fastAn empire which could not last With the gifts we had been givenFor the good of all we should have strivenYet it was but our own glory that we soughtFor grandiose ambitions that we foughtWe lost sight of what could have beenForgot the visions we had seen Out of the North they cameMerciless, with steel and flameOur hybris was brought downShattered empire and crownInto the mists of time we fadeForgotten now all we once madeRuins are all you may findAll that time's march left behind.

Caveatar Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 sure you can.Just do it.As The Fairy GothMother has spoken... "So let me throw down the gauntlet, and challenge you to participate in the poetry game. The rules are simple - a few words are given, and the task is to incorporate them into a poem. Whether it rhymes or not is up to you, whether you choose to use the given words in an epic of Homerian proportions or a Haiku is up to you." Pick your own words and go for it Edit: Here is the only thing I could manage with my own picked words. ...EndGameCheckmate in three. Outflanking a Battery of helpless pawnswhite knight moves to an unguarded Square threatening both queen and king with a Forkthen from the board goes the king's lady fair too late to turn over a new Leaf in this gamethe reckless player once again loses his head and attempts too much with too little powerQueen takes pawn and "Shah mat!" The King is Dead. Play again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted November 8, 2003 Author Share Posted November 8, 2003 Can I do one NOT using those words? Just start a new thread for poetry not related to this game - there's a whole new forum to fill :) And now: fork battery leaf square These words, they don't inspire me,What's poetic about a battery????Though I confess - I'd thought of a verse on animal husbandry. But your appetite I didn't want to spoilMake from the chicken on your fork in horror you recoilThis I pondered, while raking fallen leaf into the soil. So I think I shall pass on this roundAnd go back to my square of groundPerhaps later inspiration I'll have found. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
