The Remembrance: As The Words Burn
« on: 10 May 2014, 20:58:59 »
Welcome to the unofficial Remembrance page. 

Write something prosaic or poetic.  Any subject, in-universe preffered, but meta subject matter is fine so why not open it up all the way, right?  Use any structure you like, be as lengthy or as brief as you wish.  Do you like quatrains?  Couplets?  Haiku?  Prose poetry?  Sonnets?  (some do)  Free verse?  I'm partial to free verse myself, though I like adopting more-defined forms as a type of discipline I think is often too easily eschewed and avoided by writing them off as old rules.  However, always make your own rules as needed or desired.  Because poetry would not be fun if we were all straitjacketed by the past and what others have done. 

Raps acceptable and welcome, as always.   8)

Amended 5/11/14
Normal forum rules apply as always.  This is the mechwarrior hall, so lets just have fun.  Besides, it's not like the traffic is going to crash this thread or something.   ;D  Though I would invite anyone with an interest in sharing verse to feel free to do so.

Thats because...*grins* Star Adders don't call it a come back! They been here for years, rocking surats and putting fear into their savrashi peers!
Expect nothing less from the Homies.
N'Buta is his name and the boy is coming straight out of Vinton! 
He's warrior - not a currier, or a furrier, betta watch out 'cause he'll bury ya...
 ^-^
Every great work has a different quirk so i guess being in the ghostbears is kind of a perk  ^-^ so while everybody else complains about us...i'll stand by and smirk  8)
And who are the Home Clans, some kind of jerks?  We took all our culture from Mongols and Turks.  And now all you IS Clans wanna be ilClans, just don't slip in the murk, come at me bro, I'll stab you with a Captain Kirk vibro dirk! [AAAH]

I think I already produced some poetry on these boards. Accidentally, I´ll admit.


Quote
To Capellans I will speak in verse,
as it could have come no worse:


   
Quote
<HikageMaru>: Are the Capellans evil?
    ...
    <Habeas2>: HikageMaru - Not at all.


They still are evil, so I say!
Scorned for all eternity.
(but that´s okay)

T. Calderon's Manifesto

Stars burning bright on the coreward border
Sun and sword gauging every step, every breath

Our only recourse, a red button under glass
Ruby eye of power emphasized by grim purpose

So says the wisdom of the ancients:
You must get them before they get you

Only the stars will judge us
Look - they burn as we do.

"Without Me"

Sepha Piik, real name no gimmicks

Two sibko siblings go round the outside
Round the outside, round the outside
Two sibko siblings go round the outside
Round the outside go round the outside

Guess who is here
Still here
Banacek, is here
Tell a friend
Guess who is here, guess who is here
Guess who is here, guess who is here
Guess who is here, guess who is here
Guess who is here

We created a monster
Because nobody wants to see Andrews no more
They want Banacek, I am no chopped Burrock
Well if you want Banacek, this is what I'll give you
A little bit of mask mixed with some brain tissue
Some vodka that will jump start my heart quicker
Than a shock when I get shocked by a exploding
gauss rifle I forgot to de-power.

When I am rocking the counsel while he is operating
You waited this long, now stop debating
'Because I'm back, I'm in the circle and celebrating
I know that you got a job Ms.Hoskins
As your Khan’s brain problem is complicating

So the CSV won't let me be
Or let me be me, so let me see
They try to shut me down in the COE
But the homeworlds feel empty, without me
So, come on and zip, IS on your lips
What is that?  Homeworlds on your minds,
still stuck on your behind, get ready as I am about to get heavy
I just settled my grudges, later Andrews

Now this does not look like a job for me
So everybody, don’t follow me
Because Adders like to avoid, controversy
Homeworlds feels empty, without me
I said, "This does not look like a job for me"
So everybody, don’t follow me
Be Cause Adders like to avoid, controversy
Homeworlds feels empty, without me

Little Hellions, kids feeling rebellious
Embarrassed their bloodlines while listening to Rood
Home Clanners start feeling like prisoners helpless
Until someone comes along on a mission and yells, Taint!
A visionary, vision of scary
Started a devolution, polluting the chatterweb
A rebel, so just let me revel and bask
In the fact that I got everyone kissing my mask

Is it a disaster, such a catastrophe
For Andrews to see so much of my mask
You asked for me? Well I am here
Fix your bent HPG tune it in and then I'm gonna
Enter in, ending up under your armour like a SRM
The centre of attention, here for forever
I am procrastinating, the best thing since reaving
Infesting the clan council and traumatising

Testing, attention please
Feel the pragmatism, soon as someone mentions me
Here is my bid, my bid is free
A nuisance, who sent? You sent for me?

Now this does not look like a job for me
So everybody, don’t follow me
Because Adders like to avoid, controversy
Homeworlds feels empty, without me
I said, "This does not look like a job for me"
So everybody, don’t follow me
Be Cause Adders like to avoid, controversy
Homeworlds feels empty, without me

Now let us go, just gimme the signal
I will be there with a whole list full of excuses
I will be dour, suspenseful with apologies
Ever since the Stone Lion was turned into a symbol
But sometimes it just seems
Everybody only wants to discuss me
So this must mean I am fascinating
But it's just me, I am just procrastinating

No I am not the first king of controversy
I am the worst thing since Cassius N’Buta
To do pragmatism so selfishly
And used it to get myself homely
There is a concept that works
So Clan Burrock will never again emerge
But no matter how many Clans in the Sphere
Homeworlds be so empty, without me

Now this does not look like a job for me
So everybody, don’t follow me
Because Adders like to avoid, controversy
Homeworlds feels empty, without me
I said, "This does not look like a job for me"
So everybody, don’t follow me
Be Cause Adders like to avoid, controversy
Homeworlds feels empty, without me

Hum-die-die-la-la-la
Hum-die-die-la-la-la
La-la-la
La-la-la

Khans!

Great cat, black dragon
Shifting winds tang with bad blood
Dawn breaks sword and claw

OK Republic

Will of Stone binds all
Terra's embrace, the home stars
Focused, inspired

Inside our ghost wall
We've renewed strength and resolve;
Wolves, Falcons, take heed

Sonnet of Lady Bree

There was a young lady from ice-cold old Tharkad
With her Mother's green eyes and an Atlas from Dad
Nagelring education, trigger finger sophistication
Was starting to add up to a Steiner gone bad

Amelia Bree Blissfield was her name on the books
Everyone swooned at her, from captain to cooks
But none dared defy when she spelled out her why
She'd kill them ten ways before resorting to looks

One fateful deployment vs the Clans on Baker III
Hauptmann Blissfield told her company the key
Doubling back on their dropper, little tried to stop her
From taking her small band to the Deep Periphery

No lines, no wit, by word or by writ, can express the dark beauty of pirate royalty
No planet too rich, no village left unpillaged, in the wake of her majesty, Black Morgana Bree
