It kind of does feel like a story. (and a nice one too, though I never know what to say to stories : )

*At the Broken Keg*

Everyone is seated at a little annoyingly wobbly table in the corner

Myth, seeing that she's expected to start the discussion (she does have the goods after all) opens her mouth, but then stops and pauses. Finally

"Ok I really hate addressing people in groups, even small ones, and this corner is making me claustrophobic, but...{pause}

Well ... look at these" pulling the artifacts out from where they are secreted "don't try anything, you'd never get out the door"

passes the artifacts to the person sitting on her left, Timothy

"I don't know {pause} maybe I'm wrong, but I think you all may know what to do with these. I certainly don't.

If you all can help, maybe {pause}

I really HATE working with others I don't know, having to trust them a bit, particularly when they have different motives than I. But...

What do you have? Wanna deal?"

I think I like this piece better than you do. It's not high reaching, but it's really funny.

Then, lady with too many cats you should have more fun (joke)

 

Wyverns aren't actually a race, they're a culling machine Anyone foolish enough to lose goods to a wyvern deserves it.

 

OH, poor human your greed has you caught,

For there's nothing divine about a cake,

Nothing etherial I'd admire.

 

Sings songs about the past, about heros

But for god's sake don't sing about a cake!

 

A short pleasure for tooth and jaw, that's all

It's not healthy adn can not please for long

How could you run or leap so light of foot,

when you were stuffed with sickening sugar?

not sure about line 14, but nice poem! *grin*

I want to be page 93 of Pineapples, the Avian Crows-Nyyark

sometimes reading all your beautiful pieces you make me think of abandoning the large prose work, I'm working on so that I can write more poetry. Very nice.

----------

I'm tempted to write

a haiku mocking humans,

but I will resist

----------

I want to be page 93 of Pineapples, the Avian Crows-Nyyark

It's possible I think on a small scale. Take for example this topic, if you all knew that elves were better than humans, this topic would be dead... ----------

I want to be page 93 of Pineapples, the Avian Crows-Nyyark

Bhurin, beware of too much harmony. That way lies sterility, a death that even an elf can know well. ----------

I want to be page 93 of Pineapples, the Avian Crows-Nyyark

Rashash, that's great!

 

really nice the way you play with the symbolism of a dove

 

as always I love your rhythm

The demograpics of the pen are extreamly in favor of half-elfs

do we humans get minority benifits?

no

elfs do though

Are you Human?

no, elven

I thought not

I'm just denying you benifits

I tell you these elves are bringing the quality of the pen down

I've never seen an elf write one decent piece of work

hey watch it, I've been here longer than some humans in this room!

They're threatening to take over

or already have

I say the supior race should unite and relclaim the pen

Lets hear it For humans!

(and crows)

* Gwaihir looks for obsidmen

I don't see any of the superior race

=)

well, I'm here, but...

that doesn't change the lack of supriority

and this is from a stumbling clumsy creature

ha!

At least I can grow up!

not all elves are short

some can be quite tall

sure

small or tall, lets see one look, not mention act, their age!

Tree Hugging sissys

poor humans so worried about being inferior that they have to worry about acting grown up

I could so take you crow boy!

yeah yeah what of it

so watch who you call a sissy!

let's see you fight fist to fist without your wimpy elf steel

not to say that half my tree friends could take you with their eyes shut

why?

Ha half your tree's don't have eyes!

metaphorical oh wise human

(sarcasm)

That just shows how you elves think, Why fight honorably when I could win

you all can fight hand to hand because you just can't make weapons as we can

We fight hand to hand because we can

because it would be too easy otherwise

because you don't have the brain or hand control to do it otherwise

you don't have the brawn to do otherwise

you could beat me hand to hand but I cold take you with a bow OR with steel

lets see you mine your own metal eh?

Well If we rammed heads enough I think I know who would stand

do you?

I can

thats the point

you have no grace, adn that's just it

you have to use your hands, or mine metal(UGH), because you have no grace

Ha you can't understand the grace of humans, thats the problem with you elves

cant understand it? for a very good reason

it doesn't exist except in your head

Oh who knows about what exist and doesn't

elves

Elves are such dreamers

intelligence is useful

you know we have humans beat on that count

we humans are limited on our time, so we put it to use

long years have their use heh

you have all the time in the world, and you waste it

waste?

what will you leave behind?

Waste

More kids

so you breed like rodents

and live like them

ugh

You'll never see us as the dying race

rats won't die out either

ha you elves can't stomach the real world

half if the real world we created

the other half is awful

You just say that because it doesn't treat you like Gods

or because we tired of things that act like orcs

You brag about intellegence, but once somthing goes out of your pretty little box, Its awful

then we get rid of it

Ha

I'd rather live gracefully, then work like a dirty dog

why are there still orcs?

because unlike humans we arent' crass enough to always be fighting for power

we're more subtle

I'd rather see the work of my own hands, than live like a God surrounded by unrealistic, narrcistic, loser elves

you think I don't make things wiht my own hands?

* Gwaihir hands Nyyark a bow

beat that boy!

I made that

it would sell for god knows how much

Me hand Gwaihir a vegtable

We farm

but I would never sell the work of my own hands

and sell it

* Gwaihir eats the vegtable

Thats because you make things for decoration, and we make them for use

you think my bow is a decoration?

* Gwaihir takes it back

you are very wrong

How often will that be used eh?

hmm... where's that crow of yours...

It's been used often, I'm not the sissified court elf you seem to think me

You think you could kill Crow and get away with it?

I don't plan to, it's done nothing wrong to me, (I take care of nature), but who'd stop me?

yeah that why you shoot things from far away instead of fighting them like an honorable warrior

like a fool you mean

Like a fighter

you wouldn't understand its a human thing

I don't NEED to get close because I can get my point across from father

however, I do have a sword

I'm not bad with it, though not a master

Why not, you have SOOOOO long to learn, maybe If you'd get your high and mighty head out of the clouds, you'd learn a thing or two

Boy, I've spent years sufferign out in the grit, what do you know of life?

I don't have to waste my time talking to a lowling like you

*** Nyyark has quit IRC (Quit (Nyyark storms off))

Fool human!

A nice piece, quite a bit of social commentary in there too. ----------

Since I shirk homework,

Here I am writing haikus.

I wish they'd grade these

----------

I want to be page 93 of Pineapples, the Avian Crows-Nyyark

(Conversion Confusion, this is actually the first post in this thread)

 

 

Haikus are, as you probably know, three line poems with five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third.

 

So, everyone come post goofy haikus!

 

 

Haikus are happy,

Even in the rain in Spain,

Love them Sam I am!

----------

I want to be page 93 of Pineapples, the Avian Crows-Nyyark

Bahh happiness who wants it! Well actually when it's such cheerful metred discussion of an event even I can like it, I just won't admit it.

 

 

Quite nice!

You already know how much I like the poem, but I feel a need to praise your beautiful "inability" to write ----------

I want to be page 93 of Pineapples, the Avian Crows-Nyyark

I particularly like the ending. Tight, compact, and packs a punch. ----------

I gave him a sword, because in the Aeneid, Priam, the Trojan king, arms himself, though with a spear, and vainly attacks the guy who kills his son before being killed himself. I'm glad it was funny though . ----------
