It's seven at night and the house is clean;
Music from Diablo's on the CD
My dice are polished to a nice bright sheen -
We're ready to game, you'd have to agree.

Been working all day on traps and pitfalls,
On treasure, monsters and combat galore -
Dozens of pages filled with scribbled scrawls.
There's heroes and villains and plenty of gore.

And enters Dartog, slayer of Dragon -
Says he; when we know he hid safe and watched.
Since when could a slayer be level one?
His pretensions have long since been scotched.

Next through the door comes our own Rules Lawyer.

Five heroes at a tavern met,
treasure to find and blood to let.
A human knight, an elven mage,
a dwarf who didn't know his age -
two others joined them in this fight
for honor, duty and what was right.

Off they went to save fair maiden,
with swords and spells and packs all laden.
The hobbit was a ranger born,
who led them through thistle and thorn.
He brought them to the tower, where
the dragon stashed the maiden fair.

The doors were locked, no key in sight -
it seemed to be a dreadful plight.
But our gnomish thief did save the day;
he picked the lock to open the way.

Dark alley, day one:
Fatal wound spurts red. Quest failed.
Never hire a thief.

I'm lousy at haikus, but can't resist a challenge. Here's two - quantity over quality, I allus say.

The hills ring with chimes
Grass gleams in early morning
Red blood drips, swords sing.

Deep and dark, dank stone
Travelers are told, Beware.
Monsters live in there.

Poems may rhyme, may take a beat, may take a form - or - they may not. From the smallest haiku to the longest epic poem, find and write them here. Aspiring poets unite under these pages.

Poems are typically written by one author, so unless the first posting allows you to do so, please don't add pages if you are not the original author.

Read, enjoy, post your own and comment!
