Strangers of Haven, our caretakers be praised
tonight is the night that our glasses are raised
O, the moon is full, and the dungeons are razed

All should behold the glory of the knights
for there is a gift in the depths of twilight.

The pumpkin king is ahead and he has a few tricks up his sleeve
and if you don't like it, well, you can just leave!

All should behold the glory of the knights,
for there is a gift in the depths of twilight.

@Erky - Limerick? As in AABBA format? o.O

I hope I can get you to see
That the best place to farm for candy
Is not in a mission
Or poem submission,
But rather in Depths 1, 2, and 3.

Time to dust off the old

Time to dust off the old Shivermist Buster.
Going hunting for tokens in all of their luster.
To some it may seem like a tedious task.
To do so much in pursuit of a mask.
But I shall use all the energy I can muster.

Following the rules
isn't always so cruel
but when someone fails at trolling
it always gets me rolling
the biggest mistake you can make is drool.

The Scarecrow

In the garden with this fearsome mask.
In the garden with but one task.
To scare away the cute little snipes.
Yet they still eat all the fruits that are ripe.
With no fear they dance, sing and bask.
Woe is Me... ;_;

Running back and forth but not to flee-
Everyone searching for him with me!
That punkin king who hides away
With all that candy that gives him sway!
We all await what follows 'tee hee hee.'

'What does the Punkin King have for thee?'
Oh, let it be a treat for free-
It's a trick! Gourdlings abound!
Slash at that trickster who bounces around!
Done- 'Back to haven,' we all agree.

Getting to closer to that mask,
Knights get back to their Dark Harvest task,
I eagerly open up my box
And what's inside definitely shocks!
Now in my success I can quietly bask.

But soon it is time again
To visit that king who is almost a friend
After all, I just can't get enough
Of all of this Hallow themed fluff-
May the Dark Harvest's king forever reign!

I set out to acquire candy tokens.
And exploited missions so broken.
The King made a racket
Whenever I'd smack it.
But Bomb Gourdlings left my corpse smokin'.

The Punkin King's arrival!

It’s the Punkin King’s arrival!
Flee! all who fear for their survival
As for me
I’ve this combuster, you see
And I’ll give test to his title

My first attempted limerick

The Punkin King screams with a mighty roar
The knights wish for candy galore

When they hear trick,
Their smiles get a prick.

And explosions leave them sore.

Nobody knows the King's queen
Or why he jumps like a bean.

Just know he may leave in tears,
like a Devillite when his boss gives him a sneer.

Happy Halloween to all, and candy galore.

Brave soldiers of Haven seeks the fight

And defeat this twisted thing

What will the Punkin King cry?

TREATs for all?
Let’s hope it’s TRICK he calls

And we’ll make us a nice Punkin pie

It is time to fight the dark

It is time to fight the dark king
and all of his squash underlings
When we have all the masks
we shall open some casks
and hope that they aren't mecha wings.

Here's one:

Promos have, in the past, been most wicked
But for this one, Three Rings finally fixed it!
I sang and I danced
To learn there's no more chance
Of ONLY a variant ticket!

(Seriously, great promo guys! More like this!)

It is not easy to find
In the Punkin King's twisted state of mind.
Trick or treat?
Death, I do not wish to meet.
It seems the candy is hard to find.

The Dark Harvest Festival,

The Dark Harvest Festival, it's not quite a carnival,
but still gets you up on your feet.

To collect all your treats, you're in for some heat
but the rewards are worth the trick & the treat!

You may want to be tactical while fighting the magical
for they are an enemy elite!

Through hardships & tragical you're sure to feel fanciful
once the festival has been quick to complete!

Come play with your friends, the fun never ends
all in a days defeat!

Happy Halloween!

My very first Limerick

A lonely Knight
Slowly walks in the silent night

Aware that the King is near
He draws his Voltedge in fear

The King appears with a mighty roar
TRICK he yells as the Knight falls to the floor

Quickly he grabs his blade again
And slice the King until only Sweets are left

A happy knight travels back to haven
Buying a spookat mask at return and feeling like he is in Heaven.

Festival Limerick #2

With its shiny wrapper
It looked quite dapper
And I wondered what lie in store.
It tasted sweet, with a sour core.
But too much candy...zzzzz...and I was a napper.

my first try

A lonely Knight
Slowly walks in the silent night

today we hunt, the Punkin king
today we down, the punking king

the punkin king is mad
and he is dead

Festival Limerick #3

It was the knight's first All Hallow's Eve
And the foliage and spooks were hard to believe.
Dressed in orange garments
Purchased from the Auction House Department
He ventured for candy to retrieve.

hm... a limerick...

Spirits are in the air
With the lively mood of a fair
to the punkin king
fellow knights should bring
weapons to thrash him with flair

Strangers pray Knights to be faithful,
Though Punkin doth often seem hateful,
For where tribute is paid,
Be he allied or slayed,
They would find crops for which to be thankful!

The Arcade, a forgotten place

Is the setting of a Halloween race

Knights seek out the King

As haunting bells ring

To buy boxes and masks for their face

The Knights limerick by cokobi

I saw a dead spookat
in a drain
near the Bazaar.
I saw old Knights
gasping for mist
and noobies barely able to breathe
in a crowded morning Auction House.
This land is so rich.
Why should we suffer like this?

I want clean air
for my colleague
I want the damned fools
to leave the Clockworks core alone.
I want the Knights to grow,
and the earth covered with peace.
Let the Krogmo King plan how we may live with dignity,
now and always down in the Clockworks.

The Punkin King is dead. For

The Punkin King is dead.
For I have cut off his head.
I'll cheer and smile with glee.
The King hasn't gotten the best of me.
"Huzzah" I happily said.

Dark Harvest is here again So

Dark Harvest is here again
So lets rally up for a campaign

Down into the depths we go
Hunting down these Pumpkin foe

Hope you're packing an elevator pass
With his hiding skills, this king can be an ass

Once you've found his hidden room
Prepare yourselves for some doom

Like Skellington Jack, Punkin King is the king of this very patch
Lucky Knights might get treated with tokens that he'll dispatch

Don't hold your breath though, expect the trick
Charge those blades, and bash him real quick

Don't let those Gourdling get in your way
They are only keeping you at bay

Succeed and 10 tokens are yours
Pick them up and add to ya score

Rinse and repeat this task, and you'll be delighted
Don your new masks and charge into depths all excited

For this is Dark Harvest Festival, our favorite domain

Wailing ghosts drift and surround,
Jack o'lanterns barely light the ground,
Confetti thrown and boxes opened in the fray,
Yet that warm load screen did its best not to betray
The Dark Harvest Festival is in town!

x3 LIMERICKS!! LOVE!! (single! word! sentences! yesh!)

To hunt for sweets, we went to spelunk --
A party of four and unwavering spunk!
Alas, who could tell!
A Trick us befell'd,
And the King had us once again... punk'd.

(Can we submit one, but post more??
'Cos guess who loves limericks! I do! I do! x) *edit: woops, nvm; we can. xD

Yep, my ign is also Blind-Frog.

+1 to Artistbma & Takuyaz! :o
Very limericky!

Frolicking down the graveyard ruts~
Skellies arising, from dirt huts.
Then the sound
of rumbling ground,
As Punkin King spills his Punkin guts.

Aba's Dark Harvest Limerick: a limerick written by Aba.

Dark Harvests make Arcades the thing
As the sound of opening prize boxes ring.
Not much crowns and heats,
But more tricks and treats
Found in the courts of the Punkin King.

You've found me now!

You've found me now, this vine-legged gourd.
You took too long; now I'm dreadfully bored.
Would you care for some sweets
while you rest your poor feet?
Or shall we dance in explosions galore? }:D

Tevvie is too tired today for something more involved than this

In Haven, the pumpkins abound,
but the Knights are all running around,
searching hour by hour,
for hard, sweet, and sour,
that the Punkin King leaves on the ground.

Surely he thought it would be the 'best'
Where the king would come out
And evilly jump about
A halloween event unlike the rest

I have set out...

Hope I am not too late to post one, if I am, hell it was still fun

I have set out to find the pumpkin king this week
I made haste and tried to be quick
I put on my sturdiest armor and ready my sharpest blade
For I like not to be played
Longing for a treat and not just a trick

Down the levels I went
after all the fightings, i started to pant
not a king in my sight
continuing the floor with growing fright
"have I lost all the energy that I spent"

next and last floor of the day
not by tiredness but dismay
dismay of losing everything
just to find the fabled gourdling king...
until I caught the sight of candles far away

there I stood near the party button
searching for friends to not share the joy alone.
The pumpkin king stood before me
I wonder which one it will be
whether it be trick or whether it be treat I know it will be fun

"Tee Hee Hee", nothing moved but he
"What does the Pumpkin king have for thee"
"TRICK" was all that was said
next thing i knew, he had called in same aid
It is a pity that there are none for me

Like a enraged bull I dashed
to the bouncing king to be slashed
Many blows were dealt to the mad jumper
As I had prepared for the party and brought my cutter
all that is left are the candies on the ground that in my eyes flashed

"Hooray" I yelled out in sweet success
I gathered all the candy and the excess
when I got up, someone crept up
my friend who joined me as the last candy was picked up
I felt guilt and shame for there is no way to clear up the mess

my limerick

In haven this time of year its' a time for cheer and not of fear

the punkin king is not bad he would prefer to be visited and not be sad,

though his tricks may get you angry but you will still get treats and be happy

and with the candy you've collected there are also masks and costumes for you to wear
and don't forget the prize boxes to sell or share.

though you may not find him on the first try, you can always go again so don't cry,

even if you can't find him at all levels of the depths of the arcade your chances are not slim

you never know he might just be below you, and a trick or a treat for you.

to have more chances with him be sure its like the blast furnace or haunted passage
so you can have a chance to see him his treats or tricks and his hallows eve message.

but if you run out of energy you can always buy some more to get more candy

though the prices are high right now at least you can go back down below

buying an elevator pass is also optional so you could always go down every terminal

when you're done and collected all the masks and costumes you've wanted
you can always wear them to look a bit haunted

and also collect some prize boxes for you to replace it for crowns
to turn upside down frowns.

but don't forget our vined pumpkin friend who has tricked and treated us
because i know he also made you cuss.

when the event is over no more masks and prize boxes galore
we will just have to wait until next year eager for more.

The time has come!
The month o' fun!
Gourdlings walking along
as this event seems long

I see snipes cowering in fear
as the pumpkin king shedding a tear
We steal his beloved candy
Oh how it is so handy

The pumpkin king hiding in clockworks
while we fight our way down where a creature lurks
We risk our lives for a few pieces of candy
We trade them in for masks that are o' so dandy!

Send all items (if i win) to Shadowpizza (Kong account, can't post here) please :)

Haven has been transformed into darkness
While beggars are on the street crownless
Pumpkins lying all around
No wonder pumpkin king wants us down!

But as this month comes to an end
Many notes of sadness and despair will descend
The players will complain of how they didn't get their wanted thing
But the admins will get there banstick and whack us and sing

There once was a Knight named

There once was a Knight named Crest
Who was always on some quest
Promised vague riches galore
If he kills an old gourd
And so the Punkin King he must best

He gathered his loyal friends
Who’d follow him to any end
“On a quest we must go,
Else we won’t get that gold
I need all the help you can lend”

Thus on a mission they go
Searching high and low
Looking for the Punkin King
And his Gourdling things
Which they suspect he grows

Onto Depth 25
All their men still alive
Entering a gloomy place
They see a spooky face
The Punkin King has arrived

Tall, orange, and proud
The PK giggles aloud
He shouts “Here’s a Trick!”
And quick as a flick
He spawns a Gourdling crowd

The battle goes on and on
The Knights fighting hard and long
The Punkin King slows
And the Knights land blows
Until he explodes with a sound like a gong

His minions slink away
To fight another day
As the dust disappears
And the Knights’ vision clears
They see their glorious pay

Candy litters the ground
And lie there without a sound
Cheering, the Knights grab it all
And back to Haven they haul
Their ‘riches,’ now finally found

Coomassie
Just happened to me...

An hour spent hunting candy
Searching so desperately
I'd found him at last
But killed him too fast
Of tokens he dropped but three

But on a Sunday a knight,
Made him meet his blight,

The Punkin King's descent.

An ode to all how are you now?
I wish to see thou.
I saw your life
in the twilight night it was so great, you wonder how?

But the worst curse of all is not the night or anything of all.
True love makes you do the things that could be big or small.

I made myself for she, or he I cannot remember which.
To slay the dark clockworks being, the Evil Punkin Witch.
It's power was horrible and like a demon but it's spell was here.

But the worst curse of all is not the night or anything of all.
True love makes you do the things that could be big or small.

It pulled me down and made me a hound a servant of the night.
Something that could only come out during a dark twilight.
My love is gone I'm bound down here stuck forever more.
Cursed to say "Tee hee hee"
And the tedious "What does I have for thee?"
It makes me bawl for all year and makes me quake in fear.

But the worst curse of all is not the night or anything of all.
True love makes you do the things that could be big or small.

I wish to go back up to there.
And stroke their long brown hair.
I love her and I wish to see her once again.
If thee could carry my wish I would be ever grateful.
I would give you a trick not treat and we could be equal?

What shall we do with the Pumpkin King?
Why, feast we shall, on the candy he brings!
Let's throw a great party,
Be merry, be hearty!
And forevermore of this festival, we will sing!
