(I suck at poetry, but I'll try anyway. :p )

Pen to paper
Pencil to parchment
Draw... Draw... Draw...

Imagination is flowing
Led is screeching
Draw... Draw... Draw...

Ink spreads over
Picture spreads evermore
Draw... Draw... Draw...

Only one thought
Only one dream to

Draw...
Draw...
Draw...

Eyes so bold,
Your hair shines so,
Such a beauty to behold,
Even through the laughter and the furor,
I give thanks for you everyday
as I look into this mirror.

Behold the beauty of the Mother of all!
She blesses us daily with with fruit from the land,
no matter the season either summer or fall.
From the highest of mountains to shores of sand.

Her eyes shine by day and glow by night!
She watches her children in her motherly way,
protecting and nurturing us no matter our plight.
The Earthmother guides us and we will never stray.

Love of Shadow

To reach and strive to be the best
To deliver vampiric touch and shadow death
It is the never ending test, the enduring quest
It drives me with my every breath

To lift my arm and gesture my hand
To unleash devouring plagues damnation
I grin darkly as I purge the land
I grin darkly, reveling in who I am, devastation

Limerick
There once was a tauren named Tor
Who didn't know what clothes were for
She said "ain't it grand?"
And was known through the land
As Ironsong's very own ... warrior.

Amato once loved Coranda
Then he decided he had ta
Leave Silver Hand
And go to a land
Where he could meet someone grander

Haiku
Phoronid's cookies
Do make Coranda smile bright
Bribes are so useful

Love is in the air
Goblin perfume and cologne
Too bad they don't work

Toranda's tabard
Is shorter than is standard
But she loves the look

First year Easter Dresss

The best trade ever
(Tor also got 500 gold, in addition to the weapon. Happiest day of her life.)

Young Wakamito
Makes Tor's heart all aflutter
What will she do now?

A place in her chest
It refuses to stay still
Oh no, a real crush!

Cinquain
Love
passionate, wild
think of it
so strong, so sure
Valentine

Elegy
O Dispaya Dearest
All your love and power
Will never be forgotten
Though we are left bereft

You loved us as none ever did
Your song will not be lost
Your light will never fade
In these darkest of times

Oh love, oh my love,
without you my world is diminshed
One less star in an endless sky
Yet the whole dims for its loss

Oh beloved of Tribe
Singer of Souls
Beautiful in undeath as in life
Oh Caroline

I grieve for your loss.

Acrostic
In our Tribe we have
Roleplayers and raiders alike
Our play styles differ, but
Not our love
Sure, we have
Our differences, but
None of us should have to
Go.

Petrarchan Sonnet
O' Ironsong my love, home of my heart
to ye beloved Tribe I give my life
my soul, my care, in these our times of strife
to though I pledge to heal and play my part
as mother, guide, comforter; for thou art
the light that keeps me sane when struggle's rife
o thou my Tribe, o home, o fam'ly life
in thee I learned to ply my healing art

I live, I laugh, I heal, my Spirit grows
O Ironsong ye best of guilds, i say
in World of Warcraft I would not have stayed
the lands were not enough for me to play
This gift of love i can'st give thanks enough
but goodness this Petrarchan poetry's tough.

When last I saw my love, my love,
down in Booty Bay,
never she looked at anyone
anyone but me.

But upon my return, I turned,
in at the bar
Upon the wall, that wretched wall,
in a picture I did see:

Her and a goblin looking back at me!
*sobs*
-Donalzon

Here we go again
Everything on my shoulders
As we head deeper into the darkness
Lots of DPS standing in green goo
I am the preventer and bringer of death
Never mess with this healer
Greatest job ever

Unattainable Love

I would kiss thee on thy lips
had I but lips to kiss with.

I would feel thee soft locks
if only these bones could feel.

I would hold thee close to me
if I could only warm thee.

I would breathe deep thy scent
and bask in thy beauty.

I would hear thy sweet voice
if thee but speak a word.

I would love thee forever
but I am already dead.

A father's love

A king falls.
His body lies
on the cold ground;
his breath
shallow,
weak.

His sword
by his side,
broken;
shards scattered
like shattered
glass.

A ghostly hand
caresses his face.

"My son...
Rest."

Cookie love

Sweet, sugar cookies:
So scrumptious, like soft sunbeams;
So warm like summer.
