A Rockin' Book


For curious seekers, this type of poem is a triolet (AKA, it's a triolet).

A Rockin’ Book
A rockin’ book keeps you in,
And does not let you go.
Life fights but can’t always win,
A rockin’ book keeps you in.
You can’t hear your Next-Of-Kin,
Or go outside for grass to mow,
A rockin’ book keeps you in,
And does not let you go.

Leveling or Storyline?


For curious readers, this poem is written in the pantoum form (AKA, it's a pantoum).

Leveling or Storyline?
Iamugly has hopped to Level 78,
I’m left with a question,
With the Mists of Pandaria floating around the corner,
Should I level or stay with the storyline?

I’m left with a question,
What do I do,
Should I level or stay with the storyline,
I love the story but like to level.

What do I do,
I think I have a compromise,
I love the story but like to level,
So why not do a combination of both?

Building Your Masterpiece


Building Your Masterpiece
Opening a box,
Taking out the bags and instruction book,
There’s a certain excitement,
As you look at the picture of what it will be.

Opening and possibly retrieving a bag or two,
It begins,
You look at the picture,
To figure out which pieces are needed.

You carefully take the pieces out,
And with great concentration,
Stick them together,
Making sure they’re nice and tight.

You look at the picture,
Like a scanner looking for defects,
Making sure you placed the right pieces,
And have not missed one.

You have to be careful,
Not to miss a step or piece,
It takes concentration and time,
To make sure you’re going the right way.

This is like any project of life,
You have to carefully analyze and piece together,
The pieces to make sure everything’s right,
And that no steps are missed.

When it is done,
You lean back and sigh,
At the creation on your desk or table or whatever it may be,
Almost shining with a nonexistent light.

There may be wonders you haven’t noticed,
Or haven’t even planned,
But if you did,
They seem all the more amazing.

Painfully and carefully put together piece by piece,
The time wasted seems worth it,
And it’s more amazing than the picture,
Because it’s done by your hand.

Made of blocks, wood, or plastic, or maybe of all,
It is yours and it’s amazing,
If to no one else than at least to you,
Because it is your masterpiece!

Iamugly


Iamugly
I am ugly
I am nasty
I got rotting flesh

To my species
I’m better-looking
But still very ugly!

I’m a hunter
And a hero
To Forsaken and Horde

Known across Azeroth
Is my name
Across continents it’s “Iamugly”!

To my pet
I am known
 Mistress and Best Friend

I am hunter
I am hero
Now and forevermore…
Iamugly!

Iamugly's Villanelle


 Notes: I have a Forsaken hunter character on World Of Warcraft named Iamugly, and Waspinator is her pet (yes, I named him after the Transformer from the Transformers TV series... mainly the Transformers Animated one [there's a Waspinator in Beast Wars Transformers too, however, so double-name in a way]). And sorry about the lame name. The type of poem is called a villanelle.

Iamugly’s Villanelle
I am by Myself
With only my buzzing Pet
So he is not by himself

I take a quest from someone’s shelf,
Never truly befriending those I’ve met
I am by Myself

Waspinator can take care of his self
But him I have to pet
So he is not by himself

I take a quest from a Blood Elf
But he’s gone once he’s got his Net
I am by Myself

A female bug may take care of herself
But I’m the only female he’s let touch him yet
So he is not by himself

A creature won’t go near him to protect itself
Even of sentient species they won’t let
I am by Myself
So he is not by himself

Hip-Hop-Tip-Top
The Song must sing
Clip-Clop-Sea-Bop

The Sirens of the Cop
Can never crash the jing-a-ling
Hip-Hop-Tip-Top

Clip-Clop-Sea-Bop
The bees shall sting,
When you make their work flop

A janitor will lose his mop
To the work bell’s ending ring
Hip-Hop-Tip-Top

Clip-Clop-Sea-Bop
At a pull of a string
A bell shall let notes drop

So if you’re ready to drop
Start to sing
Hip-Hop-Tip-Top
Clip-Clop-Sea-Bop!

Cool Yet Hot



Cool Yet Hot  
 
Cool yet Hot
Is the Sunspot!
To us it’s a deadly heat,
But to the Sun’s surface,
And nuclear furnace,
It’s a cool resting place!
Both in temperature
And in power!
It’s Cool yet Hot,
It’s the Sunspot!
