A Bard's Tale (Poem)

mistral4543 · 10-06-2003, 08:31 PM

I'd like to share the song I made my bard composed, for a Pen and Paper game session I took part in last weekend.

Hope this is the right place for me to post this

"As daylight broke, twas time to start
The ale and food did warm the heart
As we sat there, all bored and glum
The door did swing, and stranger come

The Hulk did roar at sneak attack
For stranger made for him, from back
The rest did watch in mirthful glee
No fear, no thought of frightful flee

A scream, a shriek, a raucous cry
We run, we charge, we briskly spy
A fiendish rat, so huge and fierce
Tanulis uses sword to pierce

Oh, brave we were, most far from death
Our spirits rose, with quickened breath
It fell at last, this hideous beast
Alack, poor luck - no funds to feast

Instead, a rider hailed with news
We head off fast, to cease abuse
The ranger tracked ahead, to scout
While rest of us, we glanced about

His shout was heard! - we dashed ahead
Poor Ang'las ambushed, almost dead
Dark elves galore! We strike them down
When they are slain, we head back town

Return did we, to forest trap
Our time and patience trip thorns zap
A flight of needles spray at Hulk
Glancing pain doth make him sulk

Once more, we battle deadly force
Eradicate the evil source
Vict'ry tastes so sweet and good
Amongst the smirking, sneering wood

An hour passed before we found
A cunning gate erect from ground
It would not be unlocked at all
But fire blast did cause a stall

The Hulk then steps ahead and peers
Confronts the worst of all our fears
Gripping, lashing, strikes to kill
The vicious plant will not stand still

A brutal fight; we almost die
Believe me, these lips do not lie
Our wounds unhealed, we still proceed
Intent on pressing on with deed

A goblin elder steps out now
A furrow on his wizened brow
Paddy speaks to him for while
The rest of us, we force a smile
As fingers itch to test his skills
Yet we could be his next six kills

At last, they stop and goblin leaves
We wait around, O Aeryl weaves
This wondrous tale for all to hear
O Lady of the Woods! Come near...</font>

Great poem, Mistral [img]smile.gif[/img]
Of course the right place to post such a thing.. *Looks at his sig then starts whistling innocently*
Also, were you the one that wrote that excellent parody on Shakespeare, a while ago?
