IronParrot, go find yourself a publisher. 'Tis beautiful, the way it captures the essence of idiocy and music in one (j/k)!

You better be...we all know where in the Entish hierarchy he falls...

Ninquelote · 04-27-2003, 06:21 PM

I might as well post it here too.

It is poetry, and some think it's good. It's about, well, the hunting of the wolf, from The Silmarillion.

The Hunting of The Wolf (A ballad.)

The red maw goes to Menegroth
prepared to fight 'til end
those that sung of wolfen wroth;
his fangs wanting to rend

King's hands, bow, and loyal hound
rose to fight that day
a hunt to claim the dark one's crown
Carcharoth to slay

The northern of Esgalduin
The dreaded wolf did lay
The hunters now approached herein
Lured by feral bay

Huan, friend of LÃºthien
Left Erchamion
To go seek the wolf out then
But Carcharoth was gone!

Out of a thicket filled with thorns
The Red Maw had sprung
Filled with Melkor's hate and scorns
Upon Thingol he flung

Beren strode to fight the beast
but was smote by prey
Huan lept to stop wolf's feast
and they were led away

Huan, hound of OromÃ«
Fought the lupine curse
And Carcharoth, to his dismay
sunk into the earth

But in this moment, felled he was,
Erchamion near-dead.
And Huan, victor, raked by claws
Went to Mandos then.

â€œFarewell,â€ he said, ere his parting
â€œWe shall meet again.
In Valinor, they will be calling;
Live again, Beren!â€

Beleg, Mablung, Doriath
Wept for him that day
Victims of Carcharoth's wrath
A small part in the play.

They slit the belly of the beast
Drawing the jewel wherein
TinÃºviel's dowry was the least
To pay the wolf's own sin.

Mablung placed the light of trees
In Beren's living hand
â€œNow the Quest is achieved.â€
But his life would not withstand.

At the feet of HÃ*rilorn
LÃºthien awaited
Her lover dead, she did not mourn
Not knowing what was fated

Thus ends the Quest of Silmaril
Cut from Melkor's crown
Release from Bondage yet to end
Until Beleriand sinks down

Elenka and Censored: very nice! Elenka, i feel the same way: i posted my "reaLISTIC" POEMS, BUT I FEEL THAT MY NATURE POEMS ARE TOO PERSONAL TOO POST RIGHT NOW; MAYBE LATER THOUGH.
iRON PARROT that was really nice!

Gwaimir Windgem · 04-28-2003, 08:45 PM

And of course, as I told you before, a beautiful ballad, Nin.

Kalile · 04-28-2003, 09:07 PM

These poems are really great, don't know if I'm up to caliber, but here goes.

Stars

The stars are close tonight.
I have but to stretch my arm to pluck them like so many grapes.
Diamonds from a velvet box, I'd treasure them
Small, sparkling gems.

Like words on a page they tell stories of the sky,
Scattered in brilliance across a neverending page.
Tonight the patterns are mine to see, my stories to tell.
Tonight, the stars are close.

The stars are far tonight.
I am so small this cold night,
Bright yellow jacket, bare toes numb -
How could one person know them all?
They cannot - I cannot.
I can't reach those far away worlds.

I am but a looker, given glimpses of great wonder, and great frustration.
We can't great chasms, cold and empty.
I may only dream of stories untold, journeys unmade.
They are not mine to know, mine to own.
Tonight, the stars are far.

I have this window with a ledge over my garage. I wrote this last December after I had crept outside, against my parent's wishes.

elvendrummer87 · 04-29-2003, 06:25 PM

wow! that's so beautiful!

this one is one of my favorites that i've written:

Untitled # 4

Beauty is deciet
Showing us lovliness that seems to go on,
Yet really contradicting itseelf,
In that beauty is only skin deep.

Beauty is a thief
Stealing from us our sense of person,
Keeping us from seeing what is
Inside ourselves,
And those around us.

Beauty is
As unreal
As a snowflake in June:
It may happen somwhere else,
But from our point of view
It is nonexistent.

Beauty is a hypocrite
For while beauty is perfect,
In order to be beautiful,
There must be a flaw;

Imperfection is beauty.

Kalile · 04-29-2003, 11:16 PM

So true. Like crooked teeth on a pretty person, or something.
Awesome poem!

Oh by the way, in my sig is part of Kermit the frog's best song.
It's in the origional movie, it's (duh) about rainbows, and it's really pretty.

elvendrummer87 · 04-30-2003, 06:18 PM

i love that song! when i was little my mom sang that to me a lot! it's so poetic and truthful.

Dreran the Green · 04-30-2003, 06:49 PM

Everyone's poems are beautiful. I loved Kalile's one about the stars. I write a lot of poetry but right now I'm not sure where any of it is

If I find it I'll post here later.

Kalile · 05-01-2003, 12:18 AM

heeheehee
I've written hundreds of poems that were never meant to be read by anyone but me, except...

I think I recycled them!

sigh.

Gwaimir Windgem · 05-01-2003, 12:27 AM

I know what you mean, to some degree. I wrote a short story that I doubt I'd share with anyone except those I consider friends.

Kalile · 05-01-2003, 12:37 AM

I won't even show mine to my best friend.

Poems for me are usually pure emotion about something, and I don't like letting that much on about the person inside the jester.

Ninquelote · 05-02-2003, 12:21 AM

I wrote a few haikus I could post.

#1 Try again.

Most of your 'haiku'
Do not fit the rhyming scheme
Try again, will you?

#2 Some help.

Remember, it's five
Then the seven syllables
Then five once again.

#3 A note.

When a person writes
You must give them some respect.
Even if they suck.

#4 It will stay unfinished.

I do not like those
Who in the first paragraph
claim it a novel.

***IronParrot*** · 05-02-2003, 01:19 AM

Those are neat. I heard a different variant on the second one once:

Five in the first line
Seven in the second line
Five in the last line

Gwaimir Windgem · 05-02-2003, 09:19 AM

Aren't haikus supposed to be about nature?

No, so long as they fit that pattern I think. You can't have one entire style about nature, can you?

Gwaimir Windgem · 05-02-2003, 09:38 AM

I thought they were...Ah well.

Linaewen · 05-02-2003, 10:36 AM

Oh, a poem someone made for me:

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I love Legolas
He loves me too

dedicated to Jonathan, Ruinel and Lalaith <-- hahaha!
