Assorted random rhymes/writings from elsewhere in the forums.
If you have suggestions on other topics to rhyme/write a poem about, feel free to post in my "Rhyming Shit" thread in my sig.
Sometimes writing is more about having fun than about making something worthwhile

Readings From the Book of Fakku. (Feat. Cormac and Ion)

Spoiler:

Ion: When my people are suffering from a plague of putrid threads and irksome newcomers, trust that I will come and bring salvation. However, if thou demands that I assist in removing such plague do not expect any assistance. -Waar 1:1

Cormac: They refused to listen and failed to remember the bans you performed among them. They became stiff-necked and in their rebellion appointed a leader in order to return to their slavery. But you are a forgiving Mod, gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love. Therefore you did not desert them. - Fakku 9:17

ME: In your limitless virtue, a small boon you ask of your followers. As you said unto them "Post incoherently if you must. Babble if you feel the need. But never lose sight of your everlasting goal: To please mine eye, not offend mine ear with your idiocy" -Fakku 9:18

But one lone voice rose from the crowd of posters, a fool who knew not the blessing of intelligence. "But thunder bolts doesn't strike twice!" Cried Mangaka the Flaccid, "This is strange!" And so it was that your just graciousness was forced to unleash the mighty powers of moderation upon the offender. And your voice rung out like a struck bell, clear and unequivocal, "Let there be Lock!" And Lock there was that day. -Fakku 9:19

Cormac: Ye shall make you no idols nor funny image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of pixels in your domain, to bow down unto it: for I am the Admin your God." -Fakku 19:26

ME: In the deluge of images you stood firm, and the delete button feasted well that day, and for many days after. Though some images were amusing, some filled thee with a terrible emptiness as you considered the foolish idiocy of the one who posted it, and so all images were treated as equals, and all shared the burden of your displeasure. –Waar 20:4

And so Tegumi said unto her worshippers: Fear not my absence, for I am always watching. Fear not my presence, for I am always fair in my judgement. But dwell in terror of mine wrath should there ever go a week without a thread in IB dedicated to me. And her worshippers cowered in fear, for they knew their goddess' words rang full with holy truth. -Tegumi 6:50

Putting these in a separate post to make things a bit easier to manage for me if I need to edit things.

You got a lot of stuff on here! Thanks for making them into one thread :D I am more of a stories fan than a poetry person, so I'm going through your stories one at a time.

The City Life reminded me of the riddle of the sphinx, very clever and stylish.

Wow, I was seriously surprised to find out that you write, and even more so when I started reading. I didn't have too much time today so I just read the ones you had mentioned as your favourites – The City Life and The Man and the Mirror – but I'm putting it on my list to take a look at the rest of your work later.

You have a VERY similar style of writing as one of my friends has, made me quite impressed and nostalgic actually (dispite of the melancholic feel these two have to them and perhaps just because of it). My friend doesn't write that much anymore.

You produce fluent and easily readable text, the metaphors and similes are inventive, also the twist at the end of The Man and the Mirror is being well revealed, which is something I feared you couldn't carry off (heh) – I even had to take a moment to think about the very last phrase "a mirror always enjoys seeing something new". Plus I read the title after reading the actual piece so the twist worked even better for me I think. Very nice work indeed. Wow. I've been quite reluctant with entering the Writing section of Fakku for a long time but now I think I should start visiting it more often.

Ps. Lol long reply is long.

Thank you, and don't worry about long replies. In this section the more you can put into your response, the happier everyone is. I feel slightly guilty as well, since I have been neglecting my writing over the past few months with more and more scholastic distractions cropping up. Even when summer began I didn't write anything new since I'm so focused on reading my backlog of books (I DARE you to try to tear yourself away from a Terry Pratchett book) and other things. This reminded me that I should write something new sometime soon so I'll try to do that.
