I wrote these for admin's grave contest without realising there was a 25 character word count. :lol: damn. I guess I'll share them here instead. Memorials for Bif, Raffe and Lowrenzo!

***

There once was an adventurer named Bif,
Who's opinions did cause quite a riff.
Queen Cordelia he did irk,
Most though him twerp,
Though Bif's views you could not usurp.

For Humanoid rights he did plead,
And many-a-Gremlin he did feed.
He claimed Trolls not beast;
And that Centaurs craved peace.
And for Sea Dwellers he called them a friend.

And as though that wasn't all enough,
He built catapults with the Ogres so gruff.
He Morris danced with Gnomes,
And Penned many great tomes.
But now our Biffy is sadly quite lost.

**
Here lies the pirate named Low,
From riverboat to Inn he did go.
He had great smelly socks,
Though for canniness not knocked,
For Low bore merriment wherever he did go.

His mallard companion was named Bill,
And stranger even still,
Low was known to be found,
Wherever laughter did sound,
For festivity followed him like the flu

***

Here lies Raffe Rychmin the Shining,
Over whom all the ladies were pining.
For a glimpse of his smile,
The girls would walk a mile.
Though Raffe scarcely paid them any mind.

His fair lady wife was named Fleur,
(and every maiden was jealous of her)
For Raffe was handsomest in the lands,
That even many-a-mans,
Did pine over that warrior so fine.

Brave and dashing and true,
Let it be known that Raffe was better than you.
Even in death,
Raffe's beauty knows no breadth.
And though that he's mort,
Every woman that you court,
Imagines that you are he and not you.
Fear is a strange soil. It grows obedience like corn, which grow in straight lines to make weeding easier. But sometimes it grows the potatoes of defiance, which flourish underground. - Terry Pratchett

Entry for Raffe:

You wake suddenly.
Buried alive.
Air is running out.
Your heart pounds.
Then it stops.
But you don't;
pound, scratch, break, claw, dig.
You keep fighting,
never give up.
Freedom, at last.
Biting, clawing, screaming;
They run.
They don't understand.
Hunger consumes you.
You consume them.
I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am :D

I beg your pardon for the late reply, I forgot anyone actually posted an entry. As the only two you are both entitled to a prize if you wish it. Just let me know if and when you wish to receive them.
