Poetry requests

Thu Dec 16, 2004 6:03 am

So, are you looking for a chilling sonnet for your beau or a funny limmerick to lift your mood? Or maybe you just want to test my creativity. This thread is made just for that. I will "try" to look through here one a day, picking one person to write a poem for. Your only job is to supply me with ideas. This is my first request board, so I guess I'll figure this out as time goes on. Please try me.

Even if you "think" something rather than direct, it is still backseat modding to make a post solely to sway another member about how to conduct themself on the forum.

That frothy cream of purest white
When blended with sweet love,
Scooped from a bowl, can bring delight
Like snow from up above.

I plan to work a few more lines into that, but I like the idea.

I will work on one for Dernhelm (Eowyn's alter-ego) in bed tonight. I might post it tomorrow.

Ooh, nice. :)

Rhyming is quite solid and not forced at all, a very hard thing to do. *applauds*

Okay, your poem about Dernhelm isn't finished yet. It has 1 stanza to go. But...

Into battle would they ride
The Rohan warriors great
In one, however, by their side,
A woman donned the plate

Dernhelm was her warrior name
And no mere man was she
For, in the battle, no means tame,
She proved ability

With the sword, her favorite tool,
And shield to protect,
She slew the king of Nazgul
And only then she wept

Her weeping was most bitter,
For Theoden, her king,
Had lost all of his vigor
And died a bloody scene

It needs a last stanza, but I can't think one up. Any ideas?
