Come to Grief (1994)
Encounter many problems in life
Dealing with a constant strife
Confidence nowhere to be found
Ability run into the ground
My future looks extremely bleak
An immediate exit I seek
Ready to take my chances with fate
Carve my name in a block of slate
Razor blades are everywhere
They'll help me through my despair
Horizontal slashes-the wrist
Bleed, purge, my final bliss
My equilibrium is way off balance
I should be placed under surveillance
As I add to these holes in the walls
Life's got me by the balls
Watch me as I come to grief
Writhing in my final release
Agony like you've never known
From this clump of dust I'm thrown
ok nmjoo,because you feel so bored and you start to spam the site with crappy articles - i have a assignment for ya.of course only if you feel well doing this.write something short,a 2 line couplet not longer than in your last poem - as appendix for my new map.the map tileset would be - badlands;the last environment that i haven't used so far.as theme - whatever u want so long it's not childish/weird;you can use a starcraft theme also.
i already have the raw concept in my mind...still thinking about some details.
of course i will give you credits for it in the info box of the map.
ok,so you want more precise parameters for it.a sarcastic/cheerful tone is not really my thing - they give me always the feeling it covers something.a romantic/depressing tone suggest always reflectiveness - which come definitively closer to my nature.so,yeah try this if you can.
as theme i already said you are free to choose.but if you want me to restrict it a bit,i would say something worth to think about it,like a paradox or just a cunning thought.i said you can use a starcraft theme as well.if you choose this theme than maybe something about the terrans - because of the badlands tileset.what a marine/whatever think before or after a battle against the zerg;something about a destroyed city or what he feels to see hes comrades dead;for what was this battle good for,etc.something like this.in this case be cautious not to glide into a patriotic cliche.
well,i guess 4 lines will do well too,if you keep them not too long so that they can fit toghether with the usual - map by ... - in the description box of the map
Friend questioned by poetic talent, and told me to write a poem about his success in starcraft in fifteen minutes. Now, it took thirty minutes, but I was distracted ~~
Iambic Hexameter Quartets for Ryan
Rising above to strike opponents down he comes,
Yearning to clean the field of filth as the beat drums,
And eviscerate foes friends flee with eerie hums
Not quieted by the screams of evil in sums,
Killing all does Ryan my captain O noble
And pure leader he is yes, as the white opal
Itself, yet moves like his dark templar are mobile,
Moving in silence dealing precision able,
Inevitable is His victory always,
Not unlike the gods themselves he explores that maze
Cultivated by the random of life, his gaze
Hath no bounds but the infinity 'yond the haze.
Ever valiant and victorious is that Great,
Universally unchallenged cept to cruel fate,
Never faltering, always advancing, to sate
Gallant thirst for triumph Auir loves, foemen hate.
Terror stews in enemy's mind,
Egregiously ousting their lives,
As we overwhelm from our hives.
Making foes truly fear our kind,
Loosening mortal coils in fives,
Icy death embraces their blind,
Quagmires of blood all in a wind,
Under our plank do take their dives,
Igniting our triumph through rives,
Deftly Team Liquid dawns Earth-kind. modified by Nightmarjoo
