Haheh. Neat.

/tell Glacies Roses are red, roses are still red, I'm not good at poems, get back to playing. Love Rothni-Halias.
/tell Glacies </3

Also does GM just naturally appear before Cronus or is that a part of the username?

Haha!~

@Rothni

GM appears naturally before any GM's name when they talk. It's not part of the name...I think?

Why not give him some cheese?

So that's the poem I have been hearing about. It does not disappoint.

You're on to something here.

You're on to something here. All in game requests should now be submitted as a poem. Preferred styles which will get moved to the front of the queue for a faster response time are limerick and haiku.

My supply of radiants is low
It's just going to be a no show
My limerick writing may be bad
But this is all I had
So before you get covered in gore
Please give me some more

5Pi, that's not a limerick. Limericks go in the fashion of:

A
A
B
B
A

Like this:

Monster hitboxes are bugged
Callahan trumps the Iron Slug
Acheron's too strong
So please move along
The line of requests! Bah, humbug.

So you mean
What Pi said was unclean
Because that he put
an extra line full of soot
At the end of- CHARLIE SHEEN

What I meant to have said
Was not what you have read
I just couldn't figure out
an adequate route
To explain my- THE COLOUR RED

No no no no no
That cannot possibly go
If I cannot end
The rules I must bend
But then I- SLOWBRO

Ok this is really long enough
Its time to play rough
At least these two lines aren't so bad
And give me time to end this crazy fad
Pi's rhymes just wasn't so tough.

-----------

I think I should start to explain
In threads dreary as rain
About weapon statistics
And certain heuristics
My thoughts in this format so plain

I open this thread
And see Fehzor's poem spree.
Too lazy to read.

Well actually, Limmericks have more than the AABBA rhyming. There's also the syllable counting. The A lines should be long (no specific amount, afaik, but at least somewhere around 10 I guess) and share syllable amount. The B lines should be short (I'd say no more than 6 bit what do I know) and just as well share syllable amount.

On the topic of counting your syllables
It shouldn't require such high skills
Ten's not ambitious
It's all repetitious
Those who fail are literacy criminals.

I'm sorry I can't write limmericks

From what I see
and just don't call me a frick

Cronus, why did you
Have to start a poem war?
You must pay your dues.

Here's an example of a well-known limerick, with the syllable amount after each line.

There was an old man from Peru, (8)
Who dreamed he was eating his shoe! (8)
When he woke with a fright (6)
In the dark of the night (6)
He found it was perfectly true. (8)

Like Krakob said, the first, second, and fifth lines rhyme and are usually lengthier than the third and fourth shorter, rhyming ones. Both sets have similar amounts of syllables though; lines 1, 2, and 5 all have 8, whereas 3 and 4 all have 6.

The Gran Faust's charge is very weak
The Acheron's makes it look meek.
The DA's one's nice
It can break the ice
But poor Shadow sword ain't so sleek.

a haiku for you

I want fire crystals
They are not common at all
We need radiants

Here's another famous one.
There once were two cats of Kilkenny
Each thought there was one cat too many
So they fought and they fit
And they scratched and they bit
Instead of two cats there weren't any!

This one has has 9/10/8/8/9 instead of 8/8/6/6/8, though.

(Incorrect, Krakob, that one is 9/9/6/6/8)

Limericks rain on General Disscussion
It appears everyone is now fussin
Just because Cronus
Stumbled apon us
Doesn't mean we should have been a-cussin

This one is 10/10/5/5/10
