Rhymes of Ice and Fire v.14

Really Annoying Poem

Bardy bards it's rhyming time,

Rhyming time, rhyming time.

Challenged by a friend of mine

To write new poems.

Ms. Manderly wants to see,

wants to see, wants to see,

Writings from a given theme

Shadow suggested one!

So grap your pens, harps and lutes,

harps and lutes, harps and lutes,

Tell us about the Kingsmoot

Since Balon Greyjoy fell.

[MrsManderly]

My modest offering on the given theme...

The death of Balon Greyjoy

_{(with some assistance from Quentin Martell)}

Sea winds, sea legs, sea sky

Creaky planks walked oft before

A dream of kingdom twice risen

Harder and stronger once denied

This time the Drowned God will bless

This time the waves will vanquish rock

No Storm God this time will frighten me

A shadow strange yet close as kin

For what is dead may never die

Except this time -- "Oh".

Song for Dolorous Edd

Music is more important than words

Must be some man who got my luck

Some lordling likely and stuck up

Who has a peacock on his shield

A peacock fat in green grass field,

Such colours only fill my eyes

When ducking doesn’t help a jamb

The maester says it’s summer South, but here it’s winter piling on.

They say flowers bloom in spring

Red and golden, blue and pink

They say seasons turn in time

Their’s are changing, why won’t mine

I hear some visitors are coming,

But wights are always fellows dull,

Don’t even argue who’s more wormy

Or that’s just me who hasn’t heard.

Their skin is always fridig cold,

Not even maidens spare warm touch,

I tried to greet one with a bow, but then just sighed and raised my axe.

They say flowers bloom in spring

Red and golden, blue and ṗink

They say seasons turn in time

“their’s are changing, why won’t mine, why won’t mine

It must be winter in my heart

The cook has pruned the roasted hart

It must be winter in my heart

If we had some, he’d prune the tarts

It must be winter in my heart

I don’t know what the reasons are

It must be winter in my heart

It must be winter in my heart

snip

LOVE IT! :bowdown:

[a free shadow]

LOVE IT! :bowdown:

Edd needs to be loved :D

[Buckwheat]

As you command, your Shadowness! *salutes*

A creaky bridge, swinging in the storm,

a lone man hurrying across it.

But look, is that a rope there torn?

And a faceless shadow for a moment split.

Meh. :leaving:

<snippetysnip>

:bowdown: Excellent! Cookie-worthy!

[Little Wing]

So, haven't rhymed for a while but today's topic seems to have broken my writer's block :commie:

A Kraken Remembers

Will the halls of the Drowned God

echo with laughter or song

when the Kraken of iron shores

brings forth his undying soul?

Something inside remembers still

a gloom that will not yield.

Can a soul burn restlessly

in the waters' deep?

For what is dead may never die

and so his sorrows rise stronger

in the watery depths a face smiles

a discarded son he once had.

[Dark Night Full of Ninjas]

Tumbled off the bridge

Roaring seas lie dark below

What is dead is dead

[Winter's Lady]

Tumbled off the bridge

Roaring seas lie dark below

What is dead is dead

:lmao:

this I know oh oh

under the sea flesh is flesh

a king tastes like squid

[ICE CROW]

Wings of Beauty

The Cleganes a family I was born to, a family without love, a family where violence is all we had, a family where father was killed by his son.

A hatred grew inside for a brother I should have loved, a brother who's first embrace was of flames violent hug.

I now remember nothing of my youth but the excruciating pain, a fire so hot it could only have been hells flame.

Every day the anger I have grows inside, I now only feel pleasure as I watch other men die.

I am feared everywhere from town to castle I go , I see the eyes watching me like I am some fucking freak show.

For the people I serve have so much wealth they have no need, but if others must suffer and die so be it, as long as they get more there is no end to their greed.

When you look upon me all you see is a monster so burned he is no longer a man, I try to forget I try to forgive but how I can do this when the scars are there to always remind who I am .

I had no choice but to stand silent and watch as a little bird was caged, watching her suffer each day every abuse only increased my rage.

In my heart I knew what I could do, but in this world a man such as me lives in servitude.

Why do I have these feelings for this Lady who looks down on me, but when I see her smile for the first time in my life I feel free.

I grew to love killing more than life itself, Little Bird if you could love me I would give the World's collected wealth

I am not meant for this world forever misunderstood, I swear Little bird I would give my life to save you if I could.

The world has changed forever since that fateful night, that was when I learned I only care for the safety of your life.

I will never forget how you touched my face and looked in my eyes, with fire all around I could not believe how your beauty took away my fear and made me cry.

Alone I sit on this quiet isle at peace with who I am, then a tale I hear of a little bird being used up in the Vale, being manipulated and used like a whore for sale.

As I don my armour once again all I can think about is saving her, by the gods I will make them pay and remind Westeros why I AM NO SER.

He flew of the bridge:

"Water can't kill the kraken!"

He was mistaken

:lol:

[Dark Night Full of Ninjas]

Doesn't go with today's theme, but this song inspired me to make something for the Mad King Aerys

Remember when I went away

To put an end to this

Defiance of the ancient House of Duskendale?

Well,,,

They took me prisoner

And then my mind got worse and worse

And now they say I've gone completely out of my mind

And...

I'm burning the city down, HAHA!

I'm burning the city down, HOHO, HEHE, HAHA!

With wildfire

And they can rule over ash and bones

And I'll be happy to dance in the fire and blood as you burn

And I'm burning the city down! HAHA!

You thought it was a joke

And so you laughed

You laughed when I had said

That I want you to make me wildfire

Right!?

I know you laughed, I heard you laugh!

You laughed, but saw that I was serious

And I deny that I am utterly mad!

And. . .

I'm burning the city down, HAHA!

I'm burning the city down, HOHO, HEHE, HAHA!

With wildfire

With emerald flames that burn and burn

On water, through wood, and steel

And flesh as people scream and wail

And I'm burning the city down! HAHA!

I took you in as my Kingsguard

And this is how you pay me back

For all my kind, unselfish, loving deeds!?

Huh!?!?

Well you just wait

They'll find you yet

And when they do they'll skin you fully alive, you mangy cat!!!

And...

I'm burning the city down, HAHA!

I'm burning the city down, HOHO, HEHE, HAHA!

With wildfire

And they can rule over ash and bones

And I'll be happy to dance in the fire and blood as you burn

And I'm burning the city down! HAHA!

With wildfire

With emerald flames that burn and burn

On water, through wood, and steel

And flesh as people scream and wail

And I'm burning the city down! HAHA!

EDIT: CROW its nice to see you finally post a rhyme here! :D

[ICE CROW]

EDIT: CROW its nice to see you finally post a rhyme here! :D

I promised to one day post a rhyme and i always keep my promises, but i fulfill my promises when i get a sign from the gods. I have had this done to be honest since the day i made that promise but the time wasn't right, im having a Sandor kind of day so it felt right.

[Silver Spearwife]

:lol: Holding on to rhymes like that? You dirty CROW!

These are all spectacular, every one! I'm on an iPod so I can't listen to the YouTube ones (except Ninja's, since I have that song), but I will later, they look super.

[Howling Mad]

Ode to the small folks:

Some folks are born to wave the banner,

Ooh, they're red and gold too.

And when the bards play "Rains of Castermere",

Ooh, they point the sword at you, Lord,

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no small councilman’s son, son.

It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no Lannister son, no,

Yeah!

Some folks are born golden cup in hand,

Lord, don't they help themselves, oh.

But when the master of coin comes to the door,

Lord, the castle looks like a Dothraki pale, yes,

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no highborn’s son, no.

It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no Lannister son, no.

Some folks inherit star crossed eyes,

Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord,

And when you ask them, "How much should we give?"

Ooh, they only answer More! more! more! yoh,

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no warrior’s son, son.

It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no Lannister son, one.

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no Lannister son, no no no,

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no Lannister son, no no no

Yay! Welcome Crow! :cheers:

Child of wolf, hiding in the trees

Hiding from the reach of the claws

Cover your ears, you may bleed

So deafening is the lion's roar

Lady Stark, future queen

You'd never know it now

Arya Underfoot, you've never seen

A wolf-child on the prowl

:dunno: There's something to this, I'm just too tired to do it atm. Arya doesn't get enough love I am thinking :lol:

Out of the snow comes a king

But what is his name?

Out of the snow comes a crow

But what is his game?

Dark wings, dark words

Does m'lady like what she sees?

Through grief-stricken eyes

Do her cheeks still bleed?

Send a raven to the Wall

Send a knife through the snow

Kill the bastard, pens and quills

Nobody has to know.

Again :dunno: Fuck you writer's block, fuck youuuuuu.

[Silver Spearwife]

Hm, Balon you say? Weelll, not quite him, but I've wanted to do something like this for a while.

My endless tower

My endless maze

Haunted by a dream

Footsteps echo

Off sea-stained walls

A shade of memory

I look outside

And wonder why

There's no one left but me

The sweetest sound

A child's laugh

It fades away with sleep

My baby boys

A shade of time

Victims of your greed

And they've my boy

And you've my girl

There's no one left but me

Deep in the night

A shadow moves

And far away a scream

Just you alone

The final steps

With no one there to see

One more victim

For the waves

There's no one left but me

The days are filled

With nothingness

The silence of the sea

No one's here

Too many years

There's no one left but me

And no one's here

Too many years

There's no one left to see
