SummerFaire Vanguard Poetry Contest: Lowku at the Picnic Grounds!

In honor of mighty low-quaciousness of our guildkin Lowrenzo, the Vanguard is sponsoring
A SummerFaire Lowku Poetry Contest!

LOCATION: Vanguard SummerFaire Picnic Grounds
DATE: Friday July 20th
TIME: 4 PM PST - 7 PM EST
PLACE: Vanguard Picnic Grounds Directions: Take the Royal Road going EAST from Milltown. After the Purple Banner take the road North past Laleldan Village and turn Left at the Life Monument going West. The Picnic Ground will be South of the Vanguard Gates.

Lowku follows these writing rules:

1. Written in three (3) lines:
> 1st line - five syllables
> 2nd line - seven syllables
> 3rd line - five syllables

2. Spelling and grammar preferred.

3. Pirate speak acceptable, but must be marginally understandable.
How else are we gonna understand ya ta give you a prize?

Characteristics of Lowku
> A focus on all things roguish (open to interpretation)
> A "moody word" such as "Humph!" that tells the reader how the writer is feeling.
> A division or disagreement somewhere in the poem, which focuses first on one thing, then another.
> Describe the details of a scene that causes a feeling or emotion, but under no circumstances admit to how "it" makes you actually feel.
> Ignore any and all rules and do whatever you want!

Sample Lowku:
me mug be Empty,
me belt pouch be full of rocks,
Duckbill be Pesky!

Contest RULES:
* Each adventurer who participates will read their Lowku.
* A vote will be taken as to the Lowku's that are the most Lowish.
Those that do not make the list will walk the plank and get a pirate ale as a consolation prize.
* Reading and voting will continue until there is only ONE LOWKU left standing!
* Grand Prize for best Lowku: 3000 plat
* Vanguard Guild Members can participate, but will have a handicap added since they know Lowrenzo.

Thank you for all of you who attended! It was quite amusing. *grins*

Here are the wonderful Lowku shared during the event:

Pallas the Perceptive
#1 - performance art Lowku...
*holds up an ale-mug and a coin-purse, then turns them upside-down. Both are clearly empty. He shakes his head, muttering sadly*
"Arrr, arrr, arrr, arrr, arrr"
*takes out a dagger and examines the blade. Spots a small nick and smoothes it out, muttering with each stroke of a whetstone*
"Arrr-harr! Arrr ... arrr ... arrr ... arrr ... arrr ..."
*puts the dagger away and stands looking bored for a moment. He takes out a small painting of a young woman, smiles and blows a kiss to the painting.*
"Arr, arr. Smooch! Ha ha!"

#2
"Rogue, pirate, smoocher"
"King of the seas, and on land"
"Loved by all ladies."

#3
"Gimme all yer coin - Gimme all yer ladies! Oh, - and all yer ale, too."

Zelele Zostre

"Smooch both of them too."
"But if see another wench?"
"See lusty wench? Smooch!"

#2
"Is good thing Low not
/Enchanter. would drop crystals
/eat all the time *burp*"

Edward Vashmura the Hunted

Ack what yous should say!
Tah awl things goodly an nah!

#2
"This chick tastes goodly.
But tha own'lee bettah taste...

Lilith Silver

"Everything I touch,
with tenderness, alas,
pricks like a bramble."

#2
"Pallas haunted be
Edward meat eater is he
Ale for days for free"

#3
"Edward's ale is lost
and his plate will soon be tossed
soft Sunrifter's rays

Kaballoi the Accomplished
#1

the lands be dark and empty
perfect sneakin' time!

#2
"new adventurers

*speaks with a good Lowish accented voice*"

"Edward loves his meat
thee chickens run fer their lives
feathers fly all over!
