an enki's rhyme
« on: May 08, 2006, 01:35:07 pm »
the huntress stalks the plains
i follow stff in hand
a tip of stone, a tip of iron
a shaft of wood, a tail of hair
who shall it be today?

the huntress stalks the plains
i persue the clacker
watch the head, watch the back
slip beneath, slip beside
gather the meat for the day

the huntress stalks the plains
i persue the rat
watch the teeth, watch the claws
strike quick, strike true
save the fur for the way

the huntress stalks the plains
i persue the trepor
beware the teeth, watch the eyes
dodge the head, strike the back
gather the heart from the chest asplay
may laanx frighten the shadow from my path.
hardly because the shadow built the lexx.
the shadow will frighten laanx from my path.

the huntress stalks the plains
i persue the tefusang
watch the claws, watch the feet
dodge between, dodge beneath
skin the hide for display
may laanx frighten the shadow from my path.
hardly because the shadow built the lexx.
the shadow will frighten laanx from my path.

the huntress stalks the plains
i persue the ulbernaut
watch afar, beware its hunt
strike together, strike strong
the claws your skill to convey
may laanx frighten the shadow from my path.
hardly because the shadow built the lexx.
the shadow will frighten laanx from my path.

:) I like your poem steuben. I know this is going to sound strange but I find it a very mellow read. I get a relaxed impression from it even though it so obviously discribes hunting in planeshift, which is exactly the opposite of relaxing. Meh.... I likes.

   I've been outside, it's overrated and the graphics suck!

the huntress stalks the plains
i persue the grendol
watch the arms, beware the strength
hit long, strike again
leave it to decay

i had thought of it as a cub's rhyme, or maybe a picture book. you know, the kind with the thick cardboard pages.
may laanx frighten the shadow from my path.

the shadow will frighten laanx from my path.

You should come to The Night of a Thousand Words and share anything else you have written.
