The VG Resource

In isolation, let the heart be true.
Not enervation, that means lies too.
Be honest, be real, be you
Stand back, tell them what you do

Cry out in impotence, yell at your god
Don't you dare repent, you wormy little sods
Raise the fist, lash with a rod
Not sin, just moral clods

Free up you soul now, remove the last chain
Dance and take a bow, smile in spit of pains
Love first, that's priority main
Let your peace, be more than claims

So let them just try, to hurt your spirit
Prisoners will die, attempt to do it
Leave behind, those who fear it
Don't think it, just go do it

Well, that was fun. I'm using an AAAA rhyming scheme with a 5,5/5,5/2,5/3,4 syllable setup. It was made on the spot and I'm a dreadful poet, but it's still fun.

Or if you don't prefer to comment on the mechanics, do what you will with the meaning.

Scaly white lizard-king
Dragon of frost and cold
Did speak before the spring
To tell of times of old

Cursed by greatest of gods
Hated by many more
The Tarrasque is at odds
With it's immortal lore

No longer strong in heart
But rotting inside out
Your party be stalwart
Prepare, it comes about

For thousands of sharp teeth
And claws strong as mithril
Carapace that hides 'neath
It's torment dies little

For all ages to see
I am quite frightened now
For the beast cannot be
Dying, gods shan't allow

A binding ritual
Siphons it's old spirit
I fear a dark cabal
And we are close near it

So take a dragon's word
Call it a quest perhaps
To complete in week third
Or life shall fall to lapse

Ok, that time it was in iambic hexameter. Again, not claiming to be good, but I do enjoy this. That was a poem from my DnD campaign, and may very well go into my rpg. It was said by an old white dragon, giving a quest to a PC. Enjoy.

I never think AAAA rhyming works.

Hmm, after reading it again, I can see what you mean. I mean it was worth experimenting with, but it probably would've been better with ABAB rhyming. I still like it though.

No rhyming at all is best. Rrrff

AAAA in general is not bad, but the last three lines, where you used the same word, ruins it.

Plus I'm not sure what "Cry out in impotence" means.

Wow, I suck, I didn't really notice the reuse of the word 'it' I was more going for the disyllabic action actually, whoops.

As for cry out in impotence, have you ever been completely powerless and frustrated and just yelled for the sake of yelling? Kinda like that.

But I thought it was about your modding and how everyone was shitting on your face for being such a bad mod, but you didn't care?

The last stanza made me think this.

But I'm no poet, so my opinions count for nothing.

Fucking YES!
DnD poem!
I was working on one for my campaign right now actually. xD
What wonderful times.

It reads nicely, some times it seems a bit forced, but that's expected.
What's goin on in your campaign?
