Dwarven Haiku, Limerick Edition! (With bonus limericks)
« on: February 28, 2012, 03:44:37 pm »

Just for shits and giggles, type up a random dwarven anecdote. In haiku/limerick form.

Embark evil land
It is raining heinous goo!
Immediate dead


Oh yeah, and don't spend too many posts correcting other's work.
Go!

Blood splashed in the well,
Entire fort now undead,
I was unaware.

I think it's the way towns develop now. In the beginning, people move into a town. Then they start producing tables, which results in more and more tables. Soon tables represent a significant portion of the population, they start lobbying for new laws and regulations, putting people to greater and greater disadvantage...

Party of seven,
Take evil, take good, treasure.
Go Dwarfs! Strike the Earth!

So many of them
Silk, cloth, or plant, take your pick
How I love these socks.

Hole in wall,

In need of stitches
And what does the doctor choose?
Argh, adamantine!

And what does the doctor do?
Sew both my eyes shut.

Haiku are for elves. Real dwarves write villanelles on the spot.

A vile force of darkness has arrived.
The threat is distant, but another's near:
My arm, once severed, now has been revived.

Until this moment, we might have survived.
But now this truth seems eminently clear:
A vile force of darkness has arrived.

A fortnight back, a bustling fortress thrived;
But darkness lurked within its walls, I fear.
My arm, once severed, now has been revived.

To rule a lifeless army he contrived,
But as he struck at all that we hold dear --
A vile force of darkness has arrived.

I did my best, but now am limb-deprived;
A common fate for those who volunteer.
My arm, once severed, now has been revived.

Besieged inside and out, our hope's nosedived --
The Duke just drank our final drop of beer.
A vile force of darkness has arrived.
My arm, once severed, now has been revived.

Close, but it has to be 5/7/5 syllables.

In mountain, deep cave
I bring my old iron pick
glorious death waits
