Pridelands Flame

From a little demning in the woods
a salamander was born

Parents leaved him early
Too ugly to handle
And without any name

Black as a blackstar
Eyes of a cougar
Mutations from ****

Little, black mongo, said the frogs
I am no mongo, said the Salamander
You are, you still have a tail.

Picked up by a Poison master,
He could’nt help,
But advice to get.

Who can heal me, master?
Travel to Khaziel
And vist Emperina

Heal me, take away my pain
What would you gain?
Brown skin, no tail?

Breath of Life was casted
Without any change
He had to leave with even more pain.

Back to the Pridelands
Depressed as ****
Hey mongo, they yell

Next day he woke up
Without any thirst
But with a twist

First day at school
without any names
A burning tail and a mouth full of flames

Who are you, they asked
Just call me Salamander
The pride of Pridelands

Posion Master wish came true
Salamander learned him how to play with fire
Like a son and mom, powerful as the Sun and Moon

Probably the worst poem ever…

Strictly speaking, this is a filk rather than a poem, but I think it fits well enough in this thread, and since it won’t get out of my head until I write it down, y’all can enjoy it too. The song it’s based on will be obvious if you know it. :sunglasses:

Now let me welcome everybody to the wild, wild west
A Kingdom untouchable like Celestasia’s nest
The Roars hit ya eardrum like True Shot to ya chest
Dress light but well armoured in the Kingdom of reds

We in that sunshine land where Behemoths frenzy
A home where ya never find Revenge cards empty
And Raksha be hunting all across the scene
For a lean mean money-makin-machine called Finley

I been playin’ the game for ten months makin sweet loot
Ever since Autumnal Imp was the event troop
Now it’s 1.0.9 and they clock me and watch me
Traitstones shinin lookin like I robbed all Zhul’Kari

It’s all good, from Khaziel to tha Bay
Your Kingdom is tha bomb if your Kingdom makin pay
Throw up a finger if ya feel the same way
Hero puttin it down for Kryst-A-R-A

Salamander, knows how to burn things
Salamander, knows how to burn things (yes he do)
In the Kingdom, of all Red
In the Kingdom, Kingdom of Raksha
Keep 'em matching
Keep 'em matching, yeah

I posted this elsewhere, but Jainus mentioned tossing it in this thread. Here is my submission to keep the thread moving. In advance, you have my sincere apologies to any literary mavens out there :ambulance:

In honor of better reviews and a brighter future, I accepted the challenge and have written a celebratory limerick dealing with the famous Gems of War weapon, Anu’s Sceptre. I post this before heading off to Steam to add my own voice to the positive reviews of this great game. I apologize in advance if this makes no sense, as I am under the influence of positive review-phoria.

**** clears throat*** *

**** cues music*** *

SAID a Krystara young lady, Gertrude
When Anu whipped out his scepter to be viewed

“I’m so glad that my weapon
is Eggsplosion, I reckon.

For I don’t fancy things that protrude."

There was once a marquee
Then he met a woman called tyri
they met at the south sea
falling in love under a palm tree
then they were attacked by a banshee
his body injured he told her to flee
her heart broken by his death thus was the end of love for tyri and the marquee

My first time in Whitehelm I visit a shop,
The store keeper stares, he’s unwilling to stop,
I look through some spellbooks, then in she came,
An angel of Mercy, a beautiful dame,
To fish for a smile, I spin-twirl away,
And after a while, knock over a vase,
The store keeper, angered, comes over and scolds,
In Moloch we trust, all others pay gold.

I see your not dead though your barely alive,
It’s time now to do as this forum despise,
I could not stand by and do nothing instead,
And so I have chose to bring back from the dead,
A thread that is shown to contain some good rhymes,
All gathered at once in one place you will find,
A passage or two that may cause you to smile,
That’s once again back, at least for awhile

For the sake of context, I got inducted to the lounge… So I posted this there as an introduction and @Jainus informed me of this thread’s existence and suggested a repost. There are little nuggets in there that reference the prerequisites to lounge acceptance and some things that have happened in the community and game since I started playing three(ish) months ago.

“The Itinerant’s Ingression”

I had stumbled off path, while dissecting my maps,
I had practiced my maths, while tipping my cap.
I concocted my theories; some met with salutations,
Some thoughts made me leery, but left all to evaluation.

The people were nice, though some showed their horns,
Interim it sufficed, to say perhaps it was airborne?
I watched kingdoms rise, well others were razed,
I’ve seen Royalty capsize, as ashen Dragons fled the blaze.

I found temporal homes, in search of a tribe,
Frozen winds rattled bones, as I called through the vibes.
I settled with wyrms, on their ascent to the peak,
As the insatiable germs, lost their teeth; the same week.

With unrest in my eyes, still I carried forth my blades,
A legend never dies, so I bid alumni due accolades
This much was true: I’d found a new place to scrounge,
Only then, I finally knew; I had entered the lounge.

“Leaderboards’ Lament”

What is the purpose?
To boil the blood of others?
Oh! Fun… Ah, yes… Fun…

Oh poor dokkalfar
How you are treated is quite bizarre
You used to be a superstar
Now that orbweaver is out you are nothing but sub-par.

The new superstar is orbweaver
He replaced dokkalfar as the new caesar
The power was of the seeker
Now dokkalfar is a tweaker

To kill without sound, but virtue in spirit.
She was a mist, not a hound, who endured all from the pit.
She entered the sands without a single worry.
But in the end, I made her my quarry.

Amira was the latest,
and was definitely wasn’t the greatest.
But with time and effort,
She’ll rest and I’ll receive, comfort.

“A new troop appears!”
“But how to purchase this beast?”
“Just glory’s good here…”

Open gateways to freedom.

A team most encountered before
contains Korvak and Manticore.
With Queen Mab they are seen
plus a Valk in between.
They sure are beginning to bore.

Pvp they say, the treasures await,
New hero just walked through the door,

He played a few games, then said “oh wait”,
It’s everywhere – the damn manticore.

“The Count’s Count Accounts the Count of All Counts, Counting the Counted Counts.”

A mouth of razors.
Spare me from your filthy gifts,
All I crave is blood.

“Every GoW week of your life” (song)

:notes:Incoming week - i’m looking in,
Here goes new troop - i’m cashing in.

To team it up - i’m braining in,
To reach Tier One - i’m rushing in.

To cap my seals - i’m fighting in,
Here goes the meta’m struggling in.

Can take no more! - chat-breathing in,
Already passed a we-ek…

  • I’m living in! :notes:

Arise my child, from the grave,
The Horsemen march, they come this way,
As Death he speaks, commands respect,
To cause this thread to resurrect
