Cygnus Q'ol Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Handmaiden introduced us to a side of Echani culture rarely noticed. ...and for good reason. Most Echani poetry is too *wacky* for others to appreciate, however, it does serve it's purpose of blending the art of warfare with the song of words. Echani students are encouraged to create poetry. A student may be called upon to spit random, harmonious verse at almost anytime. It keeps spirits sharp and others entertained. If you are so inclined to jump in, then, please, share your insanity. Remember: There are no rules (except for the forum rules, of course) ...and the wackier the better. (Moderator Masters: If this is a forum site violation, I apologize. Seemed like the appropriate place for this.) Just for starters; Fallen Enemy Before Me What is it that beats my heart so? Must be my fallen enemy before me. What brings honor to mine and my family? Must be my fallen enemy before me. What proof is there that I am ready? Must be my fallen enemy before me. What is the essence of my existence? Must be my fallen enemy before me. What gives me pleasure like I've never known? I'd say it was the sight of my fallen enemy before me. That was a simple, elementary version of a piece written years ago. What can you come up with?
lukeiamyourdad Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 No offense mate, but I hate to think about how bad this thread could turn into. You all know what I'm talking about...we've had a bunch of those kind of threads a few months ago...
JediMaster12 Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 I'm not sure if this is wacky enough b/c I tend to write more poetry than prose and I have a specific style but here it goes: The Drums of War Upon the winds I hear the beat Through my soul and to my feet I run towards the sun My fist on chest upon I smell the blood scent My spirit not spent I ready in strengthened stance Giving myself to dueling dance The eagles make my heart soar When I hear the drums of war
Darth InSidious Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 Ahem. "O freddled gruntbuggy..." Sharp Paperclips What come into their own in a fight near a desk? Sharp paperclips. What cause acute pain and bleeding? Sharp paperclips. What can be quickly bent into the form of a weapon? Sharp paperclips. What are the focus of this poem? Sharp paperclips.
JediMaster12 Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 Sharp paperclips? So we should expect the next SW movie to be Attack of the Killer Paper Clips?
Rogue15 Posted February 24, 2006 Posted February 24, 2006 sharp paperclips are a good for security purposes too if you know what i mean. but they have to be very sharp.
JediMaster12 Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 And a good decoration, particularly if you like to play cyborg or something and stick it on you tongue, lips or eyebrows.(That I have observed)
Cygnus Q'ol Posted February 27, 2006 Author Posted February 27, 2006 Sicho - A running attack Midday sun breathes hot down my neck, air too still to cool me. My stance is perfect and my mind is sharp, who will my adversary be? He emerges form the water, black as iron, gleaming blade a quiver. I blink once then twice, unsheath my sword and envision blood mixing down river. A running approach, eyes searching for an opening for my blade. As I near my enemy, my steps speed up and everything else seems to fade. My blade strikes true as I run him through, and I can hear his dying wish. Please allow me to fade away and become one with the fish.
JediMaster12 Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 My Blade the Katana, My Blade the Umbrella What is this I hold in my hand? A handle, elongated with a band The Five Rings obediently I cut Some on the face, some on the butt Ready in the middle stance I play the eagle dance My blade, fiercesome katana My blade, the deadly umbrella ((This is based on a post that I wrote in another forum. I just came up with it while working on my fiction projects))
REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Nemesis to the Poetic Point My opponent, I feel him stalking me My opponent, hunting ever free My enemy, always searching never sleeping My enemy, destructiveness ever reaching My enemy, disconcerting yet most disturbing My enemy, my attacks always diverting My opponent, an armageddon to the end of time My opponent, I myself and my lack of rhyme
JediMaster12 Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Nice way of describing yourself. I am trying to come up with something involving th estick I use to beat my enemies when KOTOR 3 comes to the game store.
Darth InSidious Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Nemesis to the Poetic Point My opponent, I feel him stalking me My opponent, hunting ever free My enemy, always searching never sleeping My enemy, destructiveness ever reaching My enemy, disconcerting yet most disturbing My enemy, my attacks always diverting My opponent, an armageddon to the end of time My opponent, I myself and my lack of rhyme The Looney One has taught you well
Point Man Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 There once was a buxom Echani Whom the Exile thought was bonny. He taught her a course In the ways of The Force For Kreia was much too scrawny.
REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 @DI, Now, about that Daft Side Choir....... @Jimbo, They're both scrawny, Mira's the real deal
Cygnus Q'ol Posted March 21, 2006 Author Posted March 21, 2006 The Stench of Cowardice The thunderclap of explosions resonates behind me my body holds rigid, I hope they don't find me I squat in my lair, unwilling to fight hands on ears, squinting, my fists are closed tight The cowardice has gripped me as I sit here real still wondering what hole in the world I must fill Can't seem to stomach the pressure of it all must ventilate the poison before I fall Hope when my enemy comes, I'll finally be ready as I sit now, not feeling so heavy The dreams of one day becomming commander or pilot drops with my lunch at the flush of the toilet.
HerbieZ Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 Hey Herbie Hey Herbie Your so fine Your so fine you blow my mind Hey Herbie. FIN
Darth InSidious Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 @DI, Now, about that Daft Side Choir....... Ahh, yes. I believe they're currently looking for some more castrati
JediMaster12 Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 Prey Darkness comes yet it's light Shadows crossing line of sight In the grass the eyes wait A hunger one cannot abate She waits until the moment Until the prey's hand bent Growling to begin the hunt Still as a bump She waits until it be To hunt for KOTOR three
REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 @Cyg+JM12, Nice:thmbup1: @DI, Aww I guess I can't make it, lemme know when they need the low notes;)
JediMaster12 Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 ^^^ I got more but I like to read them over again so they fit. Thanks for the praise.
Cygnus Q'ol Posted March 23, 2006 Author Posted March 23, 2006 @RJM Glad you can relate. But, where's yours? @JediMaster12 always a pleasure, good one.
Commander Obi-Wan Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Roses are red Violets are blue I like Star Wars And so do you
JediMaster12 Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 *Takes a bow* Thank you. What can I say? Poetry is a gift. Here's another: The Store of Death Standing as the oak tree Poised in manner is she Strength and harmony plus two She stands against the monsoon Fear wiped from the mind Light and dark intertwined Feet of the eagle she flies Calling out her battle cry Her will not abate She'll sieze by twist of fate Defying fate of Macbeth She charges the store of death
Point Man Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Get your thoughts out of my head Or one day you'll wake up dead. Keep your so-called sage advice Or next time I won't be nice. Don't you dare manipulate Or I'll make you Rancor bait. I just keep you here with me For the bonus on xp.
