I'm Done Killing Dragons (the bored poem)

AwakenedAwakened Member UncommonPosts: 595

 I once was a noobie

On a land new to me

Forced to kill slimes and squeaks

Begging for money on the streets

 

Poor and broke I found a Pker

Ran and ran but found no savior

He took laughter in my dying

I broke my sword and sat there crying

 

Though I found resolution

In the execution

Taught and raised by the outcasts

Though all they did wrong was fight back

 

Sought and killed my fellow kind

They felt bad, but I felt fine

Over time I grew stronger

Found myself lasting longer

 

Joined a guild of soldiers
Proudly dressed in our colors

Into dungeons and fields

Searching for a kill

 

Then came the guild wars

It was open doors

Bloody battles as adrenaline poured

Never felt that before

 

But then they took my UO

Left me in the cold

“We’re with the new

And you’re the old

I’m sure there’s somewhere

For you to go”


But I’m done killing dragons

It gives no rush to me

I’m done wasting talent

On a stupid AI

And a world incomplete

 

Cause ever since they took my UO

That is all I’ve seen

Just another pretty figure

And a guilt free land

That dost not appeal to the evil in me.

 

What greater tribute to free will than the power to question the highest of authority? What greater display of loyalty than blind faith? What greater gift than free will? What greater love than loyalty?

    I am probably the only person in this thread that thinks that meter poetry needs to die....

    Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.

    Eat me up

    Digest my ass

    I prefer to be cold

    But you can heat me too

    Long as you ain’t white trash

    Lover boy, lover girl, lover Shmoo

    Probably. Well witten meter poetry is a rarity, though enjoyable if done correctly. I really don't think any genre of writing needs to die, as there are talented people in every type of writing.

    I had to spend a semester writing nothing but Iambic pentameter...I hated it...It always felt like it defeats the purpose of poetry to restrict yourself like that...I agree that when it's done well and correctly then it's good...but you can't force it, because when you force it, it always turns out like shit.  Some poems work with it, others don't, and trying to apply it where it doesn't fit isn't going to work.

    Poetry writing should be a personal thing, if your poem works in iambic pentameter, then great, if it works in trochaic octameter then great...if it works in neither, then do it free form...BAH that class made me mad, I only got a B because I wrote a kick ass short story during that unit......

    Thank God I clepped out of Comp. 1, 2, and 3. I can't stand having to write shit on a weekly basis.

    It was an imaginative writing class...the teacher was okay, and the assignments actually did allow for a great deal of creativity, which I like...but the poetry unit was so damn derivitive....We had to crank out two poems a week for a few months.

    Perhaps you feel you are correct, but aren't

    The younger gen may infact be smart enough

    To find other kinds of poetry to their liking

    Iambic Pentameter has always been a fun one

    When I was a teen I wrote about 5 poems a day for about 3 years...  Now I write financial reports and business ledgers...  I think I'd rather write romance novels (graphic... romance... novels...)

    It would be frowned upon nowadays and you'd be branded as emo. :)

    Yeah, back then everyone was like "it's cool, express yourself, sleep around, get high, get drunk, get naked...  sleep around."

    That was a good read Awakened. Finally something worth replying to.

    Oh yeah, you are still a member of the younger generation, as am I!

    I got my big broad sword and full plate metal, ready to hack and slash
    The party's got all the classes tonight and we're geared to have a blast

    Casters in the back and the leader shoutin' out
    Our odds of surviving are high without a doubt

    I unsheath my blade to bull rush the ogre
    old shady sam hollers behind my shoulder

    I don't hear what he says so I continue to slash
    then the parties healing spells were soon over

    I turn around with a sneer and take a look back
    but there was little left for my spot check to see

    the leader lie dead while casters were runnin
    -It was nothing but a mutiny!




    Blah, I'm done.

    This ring and no other was made by the elves,

    who'd pawn there own mother to grab it themselves.

    Ruler of mortal, creeper, and scallop,

    this is the sleeper that packs quite a wallop.

    If broken or busted it cannot be remade,

    if found send to Sorhead,

    The postage is pre-paid.

    From Harvard Lampoon's book "Border of the Rings". Next time your really bored, pick up a copy, guaranteed to laugh your ass off. One of the great lterary classics of all time....
