LOL!! I like it!!! <{Tasselhoff}> uh, Ken hirsch that's a very original theme hahah > next up is Senti with another of Lothlorien's poems - this one is titled: Lament This one is relatively long.... Lament Days go by unaccounted for When all is but pale Leached of all its trappings Those fanciful colours and garlands Fading into the colourless greys of night Where neither stars or moon Can change the scene Which plays like the flickering movies of before Where black and white stand in contrast With grey causing the blurring of age Over and over the scene plays And endless dream. A book lies upon the table Its untouched pages layered by dirt The unused glasses folded next to it No light glints from them No fingerprints smudge their crystal lens And behind the table un empty chair Stark, yet simple in its making Stout and sturdy The top worm smooth by favoured use its imperfect perfection a marvel of love A wooden stave against lies forgotten. The joy and playful laughter of children Drifts here no more A tomb outside a tomb Like hallowed ground Untouched, barren, lifeless Deserted A place of fear Shunned tifling air that causes those that enter to wither and fade An empty shell All that was has left and gone before Preserved, yet nothings saved Its essence is sorrow and not joy So much is lost So much is forgotten. Let the tears freely fall your throat constrict and catch As your eyes survey the scene In death, pain and loss Look not back, but forward No goodbyes are to be said Only farewell, until we meet again So until that day hold tight to your memories Strive ever forward Although your heart is wrung but before you leave Sing Sing the essence of the lament Allow the soul to drift upon the wings of a requiem Strong and powerful Sing the lament And heal those unhealed wounds which so deeply cut And think of that day to come And live. --- END --- That was beautiful... that's so very polished..very symbolic.. bootiful:) * Sollitaire stands and applauds. * Lillieth reminded of her grandfather, wipes a tear from her eye and claps <{Tasselhoff}> wow It was written by Lothloriend. * Baxil applauds with a far-away look on his face. "Nice, Loth." most wonderful :) * MeSa applauds * Chant sighs and applauds Lothloriend * Sentinele applauds Loth's work. Loth, my compliments when you read this log! > a beautiful poem as usual Loth Greets, Gold :) * Gold_Raptor hears the FRench HOrn case bumping against the wall.She stoops over it and says "Listen,Gurg,if you embaress me here I'll rip you into tiny brass bits,you hear me?".A reply comes from inside the case "Ha!You?You wouldn't have the guts!" Hello golden Re's, Dancer :) Good timing. Hi golden and SD > our next poet is Miari with one of her poems com on up Miari! Hewwo, Shadow =) * Dragonheart hands rush over to Miari * Miari smiles Sorry if I've been quiet * Miari takes Rush gingerly and blows on his head, ruffling his hair This is called "Faces" Faces glances, churning minds expressions of wonder answers to questions they seek. . Who are you? Why are you? When are you going to comply? Answers to questions they seek expressions of wonder. . Faces, glances, thoughts all a-tumble confusion abounds answers escape to those questions they seek. . Who am I? Why am I? When will it all make sense? Those questions they seek my answers escape confusion abounds. Faces. --fin-- <{Tasselhoff}> wonderful Far out,Miari =D * Shadow-Dancer cheers!!!!! <{Tasselhoff}> BRB I need to do laundry * Baxil applauds :) * Lillieth applaudes Very nice, Miari. :) great * Sollitaire claps loudly! very nice, Miari Thanks :) Something a bit different * Shavaylah claps :) * Sentinele stands ! Thank you, Miari!! Uh, a little late Mesa * Miari smiles and hands Rush back to DH and goes and sits * Baxil glances at his empty cider mug and over at the defunct Aetobot with a grimace. * Gold_Raptor applauds partly because of Miari's poem and partly because no comments have come from the French Horn case yet Anyone want some hot cider while I'm refilling my glass? Baxil: sure. Iced tea is getting a little tireing > Shadow-Dancer has finally gotten his nerve back after last week so he is our next poet with an unttled poem * Gold_Raptor glares at the case when the reply "I'll have some cider!" comes from inside it. * Lillieth looks at Baxil and nods "Yes, please." * Baxil hands Solitaire a mug of hot cider (and sets one on the stage for Shadowdancer) and sits back down with his own. * Baxil gets back up. ;) * Shadow-Dancer takes Rush, and tilts him to the left.... * Baxil sends Lillieth and GR a mug of hot cider. Thanks, brother. Thanks Bax =) Thanx Bax Lil: N/p. * Sentinele listens See the warrior in his power? Sunlight gleaming from his sword. See his foes laid low around him, Acknowledge him as Lord. . See the warrior as he ages? Strength departed, glory past. See his kingdom fall to ruin, For Kingdoms never last. . See the rich man with his treasure? Vast and countless is his hoard. Gems and jewels piled before him, In vaults his gold is stored. . See teh rich man as he passes? Empty life comes to an end. His riches are cold comfort now, With no more years to spend. . See the lover with his chosen? She is all that he could need. He has given all to find her, And spent it well indeed. . See them growing old together? Loving children at their sides. They alone have aught of worth, For only love abides... ..... * Shadow-Dancer passes Rush back to DH, and sits Wow... * Gold_Raptor applauds SD's poem * Shavaylah smiles and applauds vigorously > yep! yepyepyep yep yep! * Lillieth smiles at Shadow, "I do like thy poem." * Baxil stands up and breaks out into applause! * Chant claps wildly * Sollitaire stands in respect to Shadow Dancer.

That's gonna be a tough act to follow. Don'tcha worry Bax > bax? * Lillieth smiles encouragingly at Baxil. Quick change of plans ... I'm reading a different poem instead... One called "To One I Never Knew". > fine - but save that one for round 2 -> [Aetobot] PING * Baxil grabs Rush with a suspicious glance. -> [Dragonheart] PING * Baxil thwaps Rush upside the head a few times to make sure he's working. -> [Baxil] PING -> [Dragonheart] PING * Baxil thinks he's pinging out ... can you all hear me? * Sentinele glances at Kaly, wondering what became of Bob and Mike.... > yes Bax * Sentinele nods.

What, DH? <{Tasselhoff}> poem? > read Baxil read! --- To One I Never Knew --- Thank you, Love, for the times I've stared at darkened walls, and seen your eyes. For the times I've sobbed on tabletops, and found your shoulder absorbed my cries. Thank you, Love, for the times we've talked, and my mind would tell me your replies; For the lonely, dreamless nights we shared, When the sheets sung me your lullabies. * Gold_Raptor wonders if all the beautiful poems are the reason no more snide remarks are made from the case.She asks it "Are the poems gettin' to ya?".She hears "No,of course not....".
