I hope you all like my poem. :D


Found Amongst the Bones in Saberhaven Mansion

The cold chills I feel now are a warm welcome.
They make me feel calm as I once was in your arms.
I sense your touch on my shoulder and cling to our memories.
I can feel you but I cannot touch you.
This delightful torture I cannot live without.
I will stay here with you forever my love.
Don’t ever let me go.

Lawtan 11-06-2013 10:02 PM

Mind if I reserve this post for the morning (Somewhat typed out...if that is possible)

Dutchess Eglantine 11-06-2013 11:56 PM

Whispers in the midnight dew
Joyous in their trilling
Oh the memories of years gone past
Echoed by the crickets chirping

This contest is lame.
I bet that espy wins now,
her bottle is cool.

Firkash 11-07-2013 01:10 AM

I like this contest..

Arikana 11-07-2013 01:19 AM

Don't mind Ashy. She can be mean (in a joking way) at times. >_>

Azaranth 11-07-2013 01:22 AM

I really like Espy's poem. I don't have the patience for formatting poems into shapes though. I admire it for sure though. :3

Ah okay.
I'll try to remember that.

I agree.
When I do have the patience it still don't come out right.

Azaranth 11-07-2013 01:34 AM

Yep... Writer problems. They lurk everywhere.

Lawtan 11-07-2013 01:35 AM

Anyone mind if I try the picture poetry as well? Well, I'm doing it anyway.

In the night I screamed,
as you were pale, Pained you slept
in gown of white, Waking, your
heart withered, sad, near gone,
Oh Captain, dear Captain, Who,
Was so my teacher, who gave,
Who listened and judged little,
From the fishing, to the lawn,
To the trips in a minivan, yet,
Never again was the world free
Captain, my Captain, you rest as the ash,
but alone, you are not – you were but the
first of many. Oh, Captain, I feel so old now. Another death,
means so little, even my own. My bretheren, my ancestors, my
furry companions, one by one suffer, oh suffer, and die. Days go,
my turn? Maybe not, maybe so. I don’t know much more. Oh, Oh,
my Captain, I am lost, and I have lost what speck of time I have, all
all without knowing where to go. oh captain, I feel it at last…captain

Azaranth 11-07-2013 01:38 AM

^_^ Oh Captain! My Captain! *stands on table*

Lawtan 11-07-2013 01:39 AM

Actually the last words I said to my grandfather...

Azaranth 11-07-2013 01:41 AM

That's very sad and sweet.

The poem is very beautiful. The shape adds to it too.

Quiet Man Cometh 11-07-2013 05:21 AM

See this light?
This light is me
Shining in your window, there.
Feel that breeze?
That breeze is me
Blowing whispers through your hair.
Hear that song?
That song is me
Our melody upon your ear.
Feel this breath?
This breath is me
My final kiss for us to share.

The nox theme seems to lend itself to somber poetry.

Lawtan 11-07-2013 09:21 AM

*shrugs* I originally thought it was scary stuff. (Realized differently later on...)

Quiet Man Cometh 11-07-2013 09:46 AM

It doesn't have to be anything particular, I don't think, just a poem.

Edited mine a bit because I wasn't too happy with it.

Firkash 11-07-2013 10:00 AM

Tis a new day correct?

I'll have to think up another poem..

Quiet Man Cometh 11-07-2013 10:12 PM

That it is, though depending on the time zone, I may already have a poem for today.

Espy 11-08-2013 12:56 AM

Hm. Going to post before it turns midnight EST...

I see now...
I wasn't wrong.
I did leave this mortal plane
So many years ago.

But...why am I still here?
That is...no, was...
A question that haunted me for the longest time.

But it's clear now.
You gave your all to save my soul
And though it wasn't enough to save my body
I've been here
I've been here all along.

Unbeknownst to everyone
Even you
Though I tried.

But why does that matter now?
It's my turn now
One purpose
One for the exchange of another.

The salvation of my savior
It is all I can do
So let me give what remains of me
To you.

Virgil Marks 11-08-2013 01:26 AM

So, I think formatting works better if you choose the Courier font.

Lawtan 11-08-2013 02:27 PM

Nah...just not good at making words look the way I want them when I am half-asleep. The fact that the image was a 3D structure doesn't help...

Firkash 11-08-2013 05:06 PM

Imma do a poem now.


Oh sadness
Oh sadness
Please do not bring madness
From my loss

Come gladness
Come gladness
Keep from my sadness
From my loss

This madness
This madness
All from the sadness
From my loss

I love making up poems on the spot.
It's fun.

Quiet Man Cometh 11-08-2013 05:35 PM

Nox is not red
Nox is not blue
It's boats for the dead,
You'll join them, won't you?


Indeed it is. :)

Virgil Marks 11-09-2013 01:51 AM

Wow! What luck! Congratulations Lawtan on winning today's poetry contest!

Remember to get your poems in, everyone!

Lawtan 11-09-2013 02:55 AM

Among the cries,
Shallow complaints,
Self-isolating people,
With no sense of my saint,

She is...
Wind in the branches,
Rustling in the breeze,
Gas in the lanterns,
Rocking gently,

Leaves falling,
All brown, red, and gold,
So the land is fading,
To the chill of old,

Early nights,
Chaotic days,
Hope for progress,
And many bales of hay,

Moon rising,
Stars dancing,
Deep in the nights,
Wolf hunting,
Prey hiding,
Under the silvery light,

Spirits called,
Spells have been cast,
Mabon to Samhain,
The change has past,

Candied masks,
Draperied dancing,
Middle-term Makeups,
Crystals in air prancing,

Gourds carved,
Squirrels tucked away,
Trees naked,
Birdsong gone till the next day,

Oranges and browns,
Warm and cool,
Such is Autumn,
In a nutshell.

Firkash 11-09-2013 09:04 AM

Oh yay.
I may now..
Make up another poem on the spot.
/laughs

These tears I cry
These flowers I hold
Are all for my beautiful love

Who was stolen from me
By the knife of a villain
Oh so some time ago

But today I rejoice
Today I sing
For today I remember my love

She was beautiful to me
And also unto her death
And now I give love with this lantern

This one wasn't AS good..
But it was pretty good.

Quiet Man Cometh 11-09-2013 02:09 PM

Man do I have bad luck with this!

Oh well. *ponders new poem...eventually*

Quiet Man Cometh 11-10-2013 12:39 AM

Nox-addled head
Cannot comprehend poetry.
There's something wrong here...

Firkash 11-10-2013 02:08 AM

You'll get it soon enough.
I know you will.

Lawtan 11-10-2013 02:29 AM

Take it easy...
Though, if you are like myself, and havr difficulty doing such, perhaps if you describe your "Nox-addledness" you could use that as a poem?

Suzerain of Sheol 11-10-2013 02:47 AM

Pssst -- I do believe that *is* her poem. :P

Ashy 11-10-2013 03:23 AM

Lawtan is confused,
he can't comprehend haiku.
Free currency please.

bonus haiku:

My abs are awesome.
I have this cute little hat,
it sits on my head.

Quiet Man Cometh 11-10-2013 03:49 AM

Ashy writes haiku
About her abtastic abs.
Abs are abtastic.

Gratuitous word silliness.

EDIT:
Damnable lantern,
How dare you go out on me!
I say nuts to you!

Lawtan 11-10-2013 11:22 AM

Haikus I know well,
But sounding one it did not,
Thus, I misread it.

Edit:
If lanterns you need,
Why not ask me for a few,
Mine are numerous.

Firkash 11-10-2013 04:02 PM

Lanterns I so do need
But posting I am not good at
So cry I will

/I tried my hand at a haiku
/I think I failed..

*Normal speaking is*

Oh, I've no need of lanterns. I was just being silly, and I *did* say that there was something wrong with it. ;)
