Favorite Poetry, ??? Options

[Ibis]

Since so many people are returning to school, I thought perhaps poetry might come up in English/Lit classes. Would you like to share some of yours with us? I found this one in Kilaeil's Signature at TES, that's all I know about it.

~Kilaeil~

"...From the east comes a ship, Loke holds the oar
A demon army with swords that rip, shall join the final war
The army of the dead arrives, Heimdall blows his horn
Calling Gods out to die, before the world can be reborn..."

Maybe we should include favorite famous quotes as well, here's one of mine:

"Whatever does not kill us, only serves to make us stronger ..." Nietzsche = and I first became aware of this quote while watching the movie 'Conan' starring Arnold Swartzenegger.

[The Wolf]

Power vested upon his paws
He respects none of the laws
He'll rule the world forever
. . . as soon as they invent paw-usable tin-opener!

A little (humoristic, at least I hope so) poem I came up with, now that we started to talk about cats...


. . . (Returns from the depths) anyway, here's another poem I've come up earlier, which has absolutely no rhymes.

Peaces to pieces
Is that all they can do?
We live the new age,
the golden age
And all they think is war
and destruction?

Hate and fear
Oil and gasoline
Is it worth the killing?

A creature of war, human
What does nature mean to a man?
Bugs and insects, dirt and mud
(Cycle of life, about to end)

Sky filled with clouds
Polluted and sick
Scorching the world with acid
And humanity battles itself

Peaces to pieces
Is that all we can do?
We live the new age,
the golden age
And all we think is war
and destruction?

But what can one man do? Nothing (everything)
