If only I could paint...

Postby DarkTails » Thu Jun 14, 2012 1:01 am

I would paint a pretty picture to go along with this terrible poem :lol:

Prepare yourselves for a round of: TORCHLIGHT POETRY!

---------------------

Stricken more by her ferocity than the butt of the aged staff
she thrusts wisdom into a plain brain
like bolts of fire
her desire, to teach a devil to be man

Sparking visions in a nether imp's crystal eyes
it writhes with understanding and something more
corruption at its core
fights the embermage's loving light
no way to transform
a heart so dark to an ally in this war

The psychic tether severs
with the telltale snap of cracked ember
feedback rings in her mind with the clarity of opposing polarity
the flailing creature reels into a roiling river
ever deeper, see her
reach for the departing goblin child
too late for an old mother to do it any good

A small shape surges towards the edge
grasping at nothing, won't acknowledge
the kind soul weeping,
returning sleepily to its dark affinity
tumbling over a waterfall into infinity

------------------------

That wasn't too painful was it xD I don't know why, I usually hate anything like this I write (except for my Infected poem of course, that shit just kicks ass) but I hope someone enjoys it.

Oh yeah, I should probably do a quick write-up of what it's about. I figure it's about a lonely old embermage lady who decides to summon a nether imp and try to teach it to be civilized, or at the very least train it to not eat people's faces, maybe to keep around as a substitute for her dead family, or maybe just to have a pet, who knows.

Post your own wacky Torchlight Poetry!



...Now!



...That means you!

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I guess I'm still waiting,
For Torchlight 2.

Neverending

Biting nails at the hours of night,
While gracefully around monsters I kite,
To find that one piece of loot I need,
Only then can I finally go to sleep.
"I didn't want to kill all those monsters, believe me! But the way they looked at me with their pleading eyes-I really had no choice!"

His voice was quiet
yet in the stillness
of that once hopeful place,
I was quite startled.

His face, once flush
His cheeks once rosy,
now quite pale.
His face, shadowed

"This town was home, once.
Its people happy. I remember."
His voice was steady,
His eyes bright pinpoints.

The torches sputtered,
and as we wondered "What of us?"
The Alchemist, escaped.
Our homes in ashes.

We'de last seen him
a week ago,
before the troubles,
before the fire.

The shopekeeper and I

As we wondered,
our hearts grew fearful
Out of the darkness, into the light
crept a hound carrying armor.
And behind him, a great shadow.
With eyes of golden fire.

Going to bump this, since Tails posted it in the wee early hours.

A torchlight haiku, because.

a shiny thing drops
identify scrolls cost too much
wait until level up

There once was a man from the Empire,
Who whaled upon monsters without tire
With a great big wrench
And an Embermage wench
Who, like him, made monsters expire.

One day, when out looking to fight,
They found an occupied campsite.
A woman in desert clothes
Eating boiled Varkolyn toes
Called herself "Outlander" 'tween bites.

She wasn't alone on her adventure
A man seemed to be traveling with her --
A near-naked man
With an axe in each hand
Who, grinning, claimed to be a Berserker.

"Hey!" said the wrench-wielding man,
"Let's group up and explore wild Vilderan
together!" So up they all swooped,
Fought together as a group,
And got loot from the dungeons they ran.
