An ode to Terraxis and the Watcher: Gaze aflame is seared in flesh That turns to ash and stone The eye is wide and malice burns In sinew, claw and bone Here another eye now turns To challenge demon’s pride It pierces even twisted thought To burn within the mind A contest fought through will alone A dance of hate for two But stand ye still, make not a sound Lest they both turn to you! ---

Haven’t done a limerick for a while, so here’s a pair… * * * _So foul you can’t utter its name_ _It writhes with unspeakable shame_ _It’s Cthyryzyx_ _Yet for all it inflicts_ _We seek it like moths to the flame_ * * * _We fear most those who are Anointed_ _And yet their lords are oft disappointed_ _For that ritual costs much_ _In fluids and such_ _And the results can be somewhat disjointed_ * * * Two more Epick Limericks for my set 😄 ---

It was one if those things, I got to thinking, can I rhyme anything with goblin? And I couldn’t leave it alone lol ---

I met a goblin one bright day One small but ugly, greenish guy A very lonesome, easy prey That know of nothing but to die But then few more of them came in And suddenly they do not suck A bunch of terror from Zaejin That hits you like a greenskin truck No turn is lost, just green attack That makes you feel like bloody fool With crowd they come, they always stack - Best students of the webbies cheating school ---

> [@Mitheithel](#): > > can I rhyme anything with goblin Hobblin’ Nobblin’ Wobblin’ Possibilities are (nearly) endless 🙂 when you abuse the language EDIT - just to note, above I managed to rhyme ‘Sparkgrinder’ with ‘find her’ - I’d call it inspired, though others may use other words… * * * Epick Limerick time: _Alastair was a noble knight_ _Who always tried to do what’s right_ _And when voices above_ _Called to him with love_ _He knew he would go into the light_ ---

I did find more rhymes for goblin than what I ended up using, including hobblin’ and wobblin’ (actually thought of it as wobble in). I just liked the way the story came out. I do what I want! 😋 ---

I think we are due another Epick Limerick, so… * * * _There once was a giant seeking romance_ _Through all Stormheim’s craggy expanse_ _Hoping to find her_ _And flashily blind her_ _For his true name was Thunderpants!_ ---

This topic has been tragically slow. Time to remedy that with a double-feature return to my troop series, this time with an undead theme! * * * Axe aflame and swinging wide Long its reach and sharp its side All undead will fear their own Slicing through their glowing bone Tall and proud, by honor bound A knight remains to stand his ground In his soul he knows what’s right Rend the dead from magic’s might * * * Shivers cold run down your spine Knowing fear, you face the line Evil glows from empty eyes Living death proves plans unwise Ever onward they will creep Throwing skulls and slicing deep Only those with hearts of stone Never flinch while breaking bone ---

Between writing a verse, or playing the game Is a choice that was easy to make Every minute I spend, with rhymes as my aim Greatly limits my trophy intake For the sake of my guild, and to further its fame That’s one reason I’m taking a break But I agree Mitheithel, the lack of poems is a shame So hopefully others will post in our wake 🙂 ---

For @dhjl: There once was a mighty guild master Who wanted his guild to grow faster To his guild mates so brave He gave and he gave Til the other guilds he got past 'er. Nothing like a nasty forced rhyme to brighten up your morning! ---

In Karakoth heroes are heard to ask Why do Daemons take complicated names? Explaining this is no arduous task Daemons have no int’rest in mortal games To summon denizens of darker planes Their names must be pronounced exactly right Anything less risks being sent insane Or worse devoured in a single bite Chief culprit is of course Cthyryzyx The hardest name of all to speak aloud Proclaiming it; not falling for its tricks For this a hero truly can be proud _That is not dead which can eternal lie,_ _and with strange aeons even death may die._ ---

I do so enjoy iambic pentameter so here’s some that’s clearly taken me a week or two to finish. * * * From Holy Lands of Whitehelm we hear news Of daemon despot Moloch overthrown Sent back to darker planes beaten and bruised The people once misguided now alone Yet such fervent belief could not quiesce Such overflowing faith seeks out release The will of Whitehelm once more manifests in Mercy, avatar of light and peace And yet I will reserve my praise and cheers Until this change is proven no mistake If Whitehelm’s justice comes from swords and spears What violence will be done for Mercy’s sake? As sure as chaos can be cause for war So too can danger come from too much law [Previous page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/poems-of-war/414.md?page=3) [Next page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/poems-of-war/414.md?page=5)
