We had to write ballads (among other annoying poems) for english class. This is mine. It took about seven minutes. ;) It's quite crappy.

THE BALLAD OF THE DRAGON SLAYER

The wind blows cold
over silent stone
and a warrior stands alone.
He falls to his knees
and cries as he sees
what has become of his home.

He left only a month ago
to slay the dragon of the west.
His wife and children stayed at home
And he was a hero, he was the best.

The journey was long and the battle fierce
the dragon tough to slay.
but he pressed onw ith iron will
until dead at his feet it lay.

Homeword went the tired man,
his bags full of dragon gold.
Little did he know that
his tale was already told.

When the father dragon returned home
and his mate he sought to find
he fell unto the floor in tears
her fate had not been kind.

In rage he rose unto his feet
and to the east he flew.
And as his wings beat and beat
his fiery rage grew.

He preceded the hero in his journey home
and buildings he did burn.
The dragon would destroy this all
before the hero would return.

His deed done the dragon flew
home into the west.
He lay upon the floor and cried
his mate he'd lost, he'd lost the best.

And as the man found his home
he began to cry.
And as tears filled two sets of eyes
one question stood alone.
Why?

That's good, Saerda. ^^ I love it! I tried me hand at this, think it's pretty good for a work of boredom. XD Anyhow, here's me first ballad: Second End. It's was for me Human that I used to RP, his past. It were jest somat I concocted when I got all hyped up on Foldger's. -Drool-


Second End::


He Flipped An Ear
And Twitched His Tail
With Claws Of Iron
And Nerves Of Steel

A Glossy Stare
A Deadly Gaze
Within Your Mind
A Change Takes Place

His Growl Is Harsh
His Glare Is Strong
Do You Think
Your Actions Wrong?

Barren Lands
You Make Your Move
He Charges You
You See Too Soon

Within His Grasp
He Holds Your Fate
You Lie In Fear
You Lie In Wait

He Grins And Speaks
You Quake In Fright
The Wolf Is King
He Knows He's Right

A Single Day
Is All You Ask
With A Reluctant Pause
He Accepts The Task

Mighty Jaws Realease The Grip
He Moves Away
Your Fingers Slip

Do You Dare?
He's Let You Go
It's His Death
He'll Never Know

You Reach Behind
And Grasp The Sword
He Feels It's Wrong
And Jumps For More

You Slash His Chest
You Crush His Skull
He Rushes On
Knows Nothing More

The Blade Is Sunk
It Goes In Deep
He Looks At You
And Your Heart Sinks

You've Done Him In
He Wanted You
You Killed The King
But He'll Get You

After Death He Can't Move On
Spirit Waits For Your Own End
Don't You Know?
It's Hell You're To Be Sent

You've Killed The King
He'll Get You Back
Don't You Fret
It Might Be Swift:
Your Second End...



This one is a bit more personal, I wrote it when I was in the hospital for... well, you'll read about it below. It's not as deep as I could go, but it were a depressing topic. -_- I dun really like this one... I'm open for critisism.


Wrecked::

Motors Roar
A Drunkard Steers
The Screaching Halt
Is All I Hear

"We Need A Medic!"
"Call The Cops!"
I Look Up
He Missed The Stop

In Shattered Remnants
I Lie In Pain
My Body Numb
I Scream In Vain

They Can't Hear
I'm Not Okay
On The Street
The Sirens Bay

They Picked Me Up
A Blinding Light
I'm Carted Out
I Start In Fright

Into A Truck
To The ER
They Hook Me Up
Almost Too Far

"He'll Be Okay"
The Doctors Say
"But Stand, He Can't"
I Will Someday

In A Chair
I Move About
It's Been A While
I Can't Get Out

"You Wont Walk"
He Said To Me
I Looked At Him
I Couldn't Talk

Many Months
They Pass With Speed
A Biker's Word
They Didn't Heed

"You Almost Died"
"At Least You're Here"
I Just Nod
Don't Really Care

Later On
The Doc Is In
He Moves My Legs
But I Shocked Him

His Jaw Dropped
His Eyes Teared
I Twitched My Toe
I Beat His Fears

As Time Progressed
I Kept It Up
First My Feet
And Then My Legs

I Felt The Burns
They Shocked My Sides
But On My Left
I Felt No Hurt

I'd Lost The Nerves
The Doctor Said
Not Pain Or Heat
Or Cold Was There

As Passed One Year
Beyond Their Dreams
I Walked Out Of That Hospital
Right Into My Own Home

I Still Ride
You Can Bet Your Hide
A Stupid Broken Neck Can't Fight
That Streak Bred Into Me

But If You Ask
"Why The Limp"
A Frown Crosses Me

My Friend Drove Drunk
His Truck Was Big
Speeding Down The Street

They Got To Me
He Wasn't As Lucky
Pronounced Dead On The Scene

I Lost A Friend
I Lost Some Pride
I Lost My Self Esteem
"But Not Everything You Lose
Comes Without Reward"
Is Often Said To Me

If Anything
On That Day
My Bike Was Wrecked
I Now Say To All

Amongst The Ruined Lives
I Lost Alot
But Gained Much More

The Wrecked
Can Often Find That
Life Is On Their Side

oo, I think i have one. Tell me if this isn't one, but I'm bored enough to just write something XP This one is an idea I got from yours, Gill, but this time, it is about weather. The idea I used is just someone getitng hurt, but otherwise, it's totally different ^^

Where Would You Be

The TV starts to blink
As the warning shows
And I start to think
What will happen?

The wind starts to roar
the neighbors call
and the rain starts to pour
and the phone rings over it all
"Are you all ok?"

All I could do is nod my head
and the power blinks
As my cat runs under the bed

I start to shake
when I see the TV
This is all I could take

I run outside
to see the clouds
and I cried
"Tornado!"

The others heard
and just in time
they listened to my word
and they all hid

The last I could see
was all wood
and to me
it was all a dream

"It is ok"
"We got the best in,"
they didn't want to stay
and neither did I

I then recall
I was laying in a bed
I missed it all

But, the nurse came in
holding a box
which held Gwen
my sweet cat

You should have saw
the smile on my face
as I patted her paw
and she licked my hand
in reply

And seeing her
made me happy
and then it was all a blur

I awoke
in my bed
nothing was broke
It was all a dream

But if it did happen
to you or me
just think
Where would you be
