T.S.C. Bard for a Day (or even the whole weekend)

    In honor of Liss's streams yesterday and today.......

     

    Ode to the Skyrim Streamer

     

    Who is the Summer Wolf?

    A killer? A thriller?

    Some crazy Tamriel realtor?

     

    A woman, once of humble words, now hotheaded and bold.

    A horseborn maiden, invariably overburden.

    A lust for the blood of the eldery, how craven!

     

    For in the land of Skyrim,

    Through pools of blood spatter and brain matter;

    Comes the fearsome Long-Chapper.

    My barding is rusty, but here's a little something, one for a select group of patrons..

     

    Oblivion Cometh

     

    When the skies turn to red,

     

    When the Emperor's murdered,

     

    When the dragons fly high,

     

    When the nightmares run free,

     

    When the elves run naked,

     

    When the waters turn as glass,

     

    Then you know

     

    Oblivion cometh...

    Just churned this out for my latest chapter of Straag, and I thought I'd put it here. :D

    The Maid of Bonehawk Island

     

    Beware the maid of Bonehawk Island!
    Oh skin snow fair, Oh hair of black strand
    Five bands each upon her hand
    Over her beauty for every husband
    She’s buried in the sand.

    Beware the maid of Bonehawk Island!
    Sailor, avoid the North’s rocky dryland
    Where upon stone arched castles stand
    Oh skin snow fair, Oh hair of black strand
    Lest she grabs ya from under the sand.

    Beware the maid of Bonehawk Island!
    Close your ears to her siren’s song
    For it calls the sailor to forget command
    To die to the bonehawk’s throng!
    Oh skin snow fair, Oh hair of black strand!

    Oh skin snow fair, Oh hair of black strand!
    Off within the sea of Ghosts
    Keep yerself close to the mainland
    Lest her blood's ice makes her your host.
    Beware the maid of Bonehawk Island!

    A long lost event,

    Brought back by a returned host,

    I now bring haiku!

     

    I can't stop thinking what my grandfather would likely say seeing this (the guy was annoyingly fond of haiku, even now I get nightmares of his little yellowed Issa poem book that he read from incessantlyyy) and so here's a sneer from the elitist traditionalist snob I usually keep dead and buried:

     

    An English haiku

    Is an abomination

    Of logic and sense

     

    As for what I think personally, well...

     

    外人の俳句

    非常奇妙な音

    だが可愛い

    (Grandpa would probably kill me for that)

    And nowl it seems the songs are joined

    By howls from Amorna, Meli and Hworra

    Lissette joined in too,

    with words, poem and mora (more)

     

    Who else has a song to sing

    Or a poem that doesn't quite rhyme

    Be quick to join in my wolves

    You are running out of time

    Dearest Harrow-kun,

    Such fine haiku cannot be,

    confined by language.

    Patrons of Nuked Mare,

    Dance and drink without a care,

    One great big orgy.

    Seasons come and go,

    Still we are here together,

    Old faces and new.

    I tried to translate via google. Not good at it, obviously. Something about foreigners making strange but cute haiku?
