Now, here is the place to put your poems.


Here's mine:

Kobold Cleaver the Great
He was amazingly smart
With an Int of 999
And a Wis of 888
A Strength of -10
He was mighty beyond fate
And he cleaved kobolds to death

He killed killed killed killed killed killed killed
The puny kobolds,
To death, to death, death, death, death, death, death
For the greatest good
He did what he could
To kill kill kill kill kill

He killed, killed, killed, killed
The kobolds to death,
He killed them to death
For a reason most pure,
For he killed them for
He felt like it.

Atributes unreal
With violence in his heart
He brings kobold death


The desolate cold falls short at the feet of warmth, a slipping velvet tide, a rhythm from inside –even children know the sound of forever in the ground.

A token distance left to run and you’ve hardly started, kissed her brow -then you parted. She completes you in ways you can’t describe by chance perhaps a fateful bribe?

If I could span the distance I would hold you tight and be your fortress arrows and bullets would smash off my invulnerable face –powered by your love; you are my furnace, my engine and my purpose -without you everything’s worthless.

Perchance partake this position of trust, let me prove it to you if I must. It’s real, tangible, almost visual a solid thing, now let me in so it can really begin.

My heart is a harp whose strings you strum absentmindedly -leaving me reverberating with love behind your back –if only you turned around and listened to this melody you inspire.

We can be each others secret song –no one else knows the words and we can sing it as loud as we like…

I wrote this as an unrequited love poem by an NPC for use in our Savage Tide game.


I once wrote a poem/song about a microwavable fetus that you could add water to, microwave and have a full grown baby. I'll see if I can find it, assuming it's messageboard safe.


Roses are Red

Violets are blue

Brown is the color of my ------!

Its a "you feel in the blank" poem.

Full grown baby? How oxymoronic.

I'm sure you'll find plenty of people to agree with the first line of that haiku. ;)

Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
That's what they tell me,
Because I'm blind.

Sorry to hear that (or are you joking?).

Another Poem of Ravenloft

We are surrounded by a circle of knives
And we know not where to turn
Each knife pointed at us
Right to the throat
And we see that we must learn

We are surrounded by a circle of knives
It could destroy us with a thought
It shall come soon
We know not when
And we are aware of the damage we've wrought

We are surrounded be a circle of knives
That is about to slay us all
And it waits for us, making a wall
So now there is no time to be bereft
For now 'tis our job to save what little is left

Well, I do have truly horrible vision (20-105 without glasses), but the poem is from an old (pre-Far Side) Gary Larson cartoon.

This is just to say

I have written

a poem

for your thread

on the 'boards

and which

you were probably

hoping

would be original.

Forgive me

this was simpler,

so pointless

and so cold

Scarab Sages

There is little
we can do
to stop
the orc hordes
from devouring
our llamas.

But we must
save
the llamas

Also

Cosmo
has created
the greatest
piece
of useless
poetry
ever written.

Scarab Sages

Oh crap! I did not see

That this was meant to be

A page of the rhyming word

Now I feel like a turd

My feeble effort now

Is so you won't have a cow

But my poems really suck

So I guess I'm shit out of luck.


Yes you are, you annoying bit of murk
Get out of here, cease to lurk
You are not wanted here, stay away
Or you will be forced to pay

Aberzombie, leave
Before I use my cleave
And I'll call the city reave,
And you'll be forced to lift and heave

You are a big hog
You're more stubborn than a hungry dog
You are as fat as a log
And have the intellect of a frog

Everybody's mad at me
Because I am so rude, you see
And I always treat you all horribly
And when I'm banned, it will be
Far more, far more, far more friendly
And things will be normal, and you can all have tea

Spoiler:

But this shall never happen,
It is impossible
For I am far too mighty
Now you go watch Kimpossible
For you'll never set things rightly*

What? I defye you to find a word that rhymes with 'mighty'!

Scarab Sages

Now that you have been so rude

To me, a good'ol undead dude

I'll have to stay and write some more

And share my zombie wit and lore

To you I say "I'll never leave.

So smite me with your silly cleave.

I'll laugh it off and munch your brain.

Oops...my hoped-for meal is in vain."


Blaaarrrccchhhh

Maybe we should create

A thread for this 'cause my post was ate
There we shall insult with glee
All who come in, including thee

In many rhymes, we would battle
And you would onto the cat roll
And never would I tire, for
You mean death, but I mean war

Now I cast a spell most mighty
That will send you off the earth
For you are my enemy
And you were destined for thus at birth
You think you can defeat me
But you are quite wrong
For you are quite weak, you see
And I am quite strong

Wind, rain, snow and hail
All you can send at me, if you must
But you are nothing to me
But a little mouse,
And soon, a grain of dust

Scarab Sages

There once was a cleaving kobold

Whose rhyming was rude, he'd been told

He cared not at all

But continued to bawl

Like a child that a mother did scold

There once was a zombie
With no brain at all
But then one day, he had a great fall
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Refused to touch zombie to put him
Together again

At last, the frog prince agreed to touch the undead
But then he was a frog, and he had a small head
But when he touched the zombie he vanished
In a flash of light
And the horses and men saw that they had been right

Then Cinderella came, and being a servant
Was hit with the rod, and was forced to serve bent
She was forced to touch the zombie, who turned into a handsome prince
Who then decided to return the money he had been lent
Then he returned to the princess, kind
And decided he was still hungry, and devoured her mind

The king ordered the knights to kill the fiend
With their swords they had with them, which had been keened
But Sir Bobby was dumb, and fell on his own sword
And Sir Freddy fell off a cliff onto his lord
But they were still winning,
Except, of course Sir Brinning
And how Lancelot was allergic to corpses, and thus failed, being hived
But, unfortunately for the knights, the kobold arrived

Spoiler:
It was a great number of TKKs (Total Knight Kills)
Plus one TZK, for the zombie had some 'light bills'
From the kobold, you see, for the zombie gambled
His life, and thus
He died before he could cuss
And was locked for food in the lamb hold


There once was a savage, zombie, vulture and frog
The frog was soon eaten by a hungry dog
This taught the zombie to be extra careful
And when the savage led him to a cave
He said "No worry. Bear full"

The savage soon died
And the zombie cried
Because the vulture had lied
He was not the zombie's friend
The vulture would tear and rend
At the stupid zombie who was mad as a kend-
-Er though not as bright
Only the vulture was left
And he started a blight
In the kingdom of Snite
because he was diseased
Hey, what'd ya expect
From a guy who eats carrion
So the kingdom was wrecked

Spoiler:
This poem has only two verses
And it is real lame
Because what sort of vulture would tear and maim
A zombie? I ask this because he was not tame
The answer to that question, by the way, is
Any vulture that came.

Oh lizard thing, with scales of red

Your whiny voice, your elongated head.

Such effort you put into your words

And I thought my rhymes resembled turds.

Those kobolds better they do deserve

To tell the truth you've got some nerve.

Like a little dog, you yip and yap

Giving your namesake a very bad rap.

Ouch, burned by the zombie.


The springs of the cot,
piano untuned;
he suffers in vain,
to staunch at the wound;
regardless of fault,
he'll shoulder the blame;
they don't sell a soap,
that rinses out shame.

Yep, pretty much. But technically, I don't tell the truth.

You held it and knew the fractures.
You helped mend it so you knew the scars too.
You never judged it.
You’re going, and you’re leaving it behind.
I hear the shattering of it as it brakes.
Who will help me pick up the pieces of my heart?

*Sorry if this brings anyone down. I just got through writing it for my aunt and had to do something with it other than just let it sit on a table.

Thanks, I just hate that I even felt like writting it.


Tegan, I can't see your post.

A dead raven bleeds
Black blood in a graveyard.
Three miasmic lines.

(repost from Dirk Gently)


There are no fingerprints
Deep under water
Nothing to tie one to a crime
And if you seek vengeance
All you need are instruments of pain

You need your

Knives? Check.
Rope? Check.
Dagger? Check.
Chains? Check.
Locks? Check.
Laser Beams? Check.
Acid? Check.
Body Bag? Check.

Murmaider [x16]

But beware
For when you quench your blood thirst
Others will seek their vengeance on you
And they won't rest
Until you're dead

They'll have their:

Shiv? Check.
Pipe? Check.
Hammer? Check.
Axe? Check.
Subject? Check.
Location? Check.
Desire? Check.
Vengeance? Check.

Hold your breath, swim and strain
The smell of death, can't escape
Blood will could and drift away
Attract the murders of Murmaids
It's so cold they all know

What you've done, you can't run
Vengeance is the law for thee
A thousand leagues below the sea
You've been tracked, you've been seen
Murdering the next kin
Ate their hearts drank their blood

Washed your fins in blackened mud
Now you swim try to hide
Heart beats faster from inside
Thought it was a big charade
Your life was ended by Murmaids.

Murmaider [x16]

Swords? Check.
Saws? Check.
Clubs? Check.
Claws? Check.
Hatred? Check.
Anger? Check.
Mermaid? Check.
Murder? Check.

MURDER! MURDER! MURMAID MURDER!

Your life was ended by mermaids.
