Lemming Poetry XD

No, Dragonslover. You're wrong! It's seven syllables, so Dumb Lem made a haiku that's not flawed! Good work, Dumb Lem!  

[DragonsLover]

You sure?

Ha-i-kus-are-rea-lly-ea-sy

That's 8!

[Ice_Eagle91]

Nope, still wrong!

Hai-kus-are-real-ly-ea-sy

That's 7!

[DragonsLover]

Ok ok... you win!

[Ice_Eagle91]

It's okay, buddy,
Just don't be so embarrassed!
You are my best friend!

[DragonsLover]

It's because I'm a french guy and we pronounce Haikus: Ha-i-kus. In english, it's Hai-kus. But it's okay!

Ive just discovered this sight.    I thought I was the only person in the world who had writted a Lemming poem:


Lemming

Sorry l\il lemming,
I am unable to protect thee
You\ve got to blow.
I\ll see you later
As a crater (oh no!),
And a shower of confetti.

[Jonni Kaj]

Here's another, its a little rusty but I can smooth it out mebbe if people like it:


Lemmings

The joy of watching lemmings tumble
Across a temple\s twisted stair
Or amongst the stripy circus poles
With leaf-green tumbling hair.

When they call [let\s go\ from their downwards door
They really mean their call
For drowns and crushes and roasting flame
Awaits their happy fall.

At your command they\d dig a hole
Or build bridges over black, black chasms
Or tunnel through a random wall
And hope your reflex does not spasm.

Their trust in you is absolute
And mindlessly they stride
Towards a doom you would avert
Had not your patience disinclined.

They drop and die in soggy rhythm
To the happy tune that keeps them sane
When they are vanquished you restart the level
and make the same mistakes again.

When finally you have cleared safe a path
Across a metal hell
They\ll thank you with their cry [yippee!\
And leap to sunny, leafy dells

Next time you see a green-blue spill
Or hear a [let\s go\ sound effect
And you see the need to have some killed
Kill them with respect.



Hope you like it!!!

And wow to all the poetry stuff here already, I especially loved the haikus of all the lemming tools!

I might re-post this here, since no-one's going to find it locked away in the middle of the very long Lemming List Game topic.........

BE MORE THAN JUST A NUMBER (an ode to Havoc level 2)
 
Be more than just a number
Be more than just a life
Be more than just a lemming
Be more than just some pretty lemming's wife
You gotta show some feeling
(There's no shortage of time)
You gotta have a purpose
(There's always one more block of steel to climb)
 
Be more than just a number
Be more than just "that guy"
Be more than just a climber
There's always something original to try!
You gotta have some courage
To brave the lemming world
You gotta show some wanting
To have the tale of your mightiest deeds unfurled
 
Be more than just a number
Be more than just yourself
Be more than just "some other"
Be someone truly willing to help yourself
You gotta join in somehow
In all the fun and strife
Gotta give yourself a meaning
Before you learn the meaning of lemming life

How did the "standard" LU language come to be English anyhow?  That must've been hard on any non-English speaking people at first.  I know I couldn't use a german forum...much.  I couldn't use a French forum at all.

I'm pretty good at poems, but it takes me a while to get inspiration. Maybe dumb_lem should try and get some proper ideas before suddenly typing something completely random?

[DragonsLover]

Hi and welcome here ?QuErY?! Enjoy the forum! B)
