Daemon Poetry

[augury]

Hmm.. I'm rather apprehensive about posting poetry, because oftentimes what the author thinks is deeply meaningful and beautiful, others think is just crap. *shifty eyes* But, I'm taking the leap and posting this poem I wrote about Kelan for English class last year. I hope you like it...

Come, daimen,
precious shadow.

Leone ethereal,
metaphysical corbeau.
No avian
dream, nor haphazard
falling star:

My caustic canis lupus.

Pelt of storms,
silver-tongued.
Vedeno kohaku,
luminous at dusk.

We gaze towards Polaris
together;
mutual adoration,

daemon.

As you may've noticed, I threw in a bunch of words that aren't in english. I tend to do that in my normal speech as well. ^^; This includes the weird spelling of daemon, "daimen." It's an old word that means rare- there was a post in the your_daemons community about it, which can be trouvayed at www.livejournal.com/community/your_daemons/24877.html Here's a quick translation of everything else-

Leone = lion (italian) - Corbeau = crow (french) - Vedeno = to see (italian) - Kohaku= amber (japanese)

I really like that. Good work, and bring in some more. =)

[Annie]

wow! That's good!

[augury]

thanks! ^^ i can't exactly "bring in more" though- I haven't written any more poetry about daemons.

[maia]

*gives Augury a round of applause* Yay! Thats so good!

Excuse my complete ignorance, but...

There once was a dæmon called Lass,
Whose sometimes a pain in the, er, back.
"What's the deal?!" asks shei,
"What do you mean?" replied me,
"I'm saying it's a loss of manners that you lack!"

Heh, heh, heh. ::sly grin::

[augury]

hahaha, i love limericks. i wrote one about a pig that died of methane gas or something once... hmm, i'll see if i can trouvay it XD

[Lass]

Don't listen to ice! He doesn't know what he's talking about!

There once was a guy named ice,
Whose lame limericks will never suffice.
His poems are mean,
And better unseen,
And basically not nice!

Thank you, thank you...

This is actually kinda like a song, but I don't have the music.... It sisn't happen to me, I just felt like writing it......

There are no Good Byes
There are no goodbyes
So just go and fly
I don't care anymore
Don't arrive at my door
'Cause I won't be there
Don't you dare touch my hair
ever, ever, ever again.
You took my heart
So don't you start
Because when you look back,
There'll be something you lack
So just leave me, just leave me here
I en't comin' back there
You lied to me
I did not see
the pain that would come
And yet all you do is run.
Life isn't a soap
No, I don't loathe
I just want to say
that just because you don't have to pay
doesn't mean that I'll stay
So that you can come play
with me like I'm a doll.
You took my heart
So don't you dare start
'Cause I know that there won't be any Good Byes.

I'd like to thank all the little people!

Hey everyone! Join Forum Wars! It's fun! Believe me!

[Addy]

Yor getting off the subject.

Suppose...

[Joshua]

A Haiku piece.

Elafros, dæmon
Truth piercing the darkness, so
shining golden bright

Haiku is hard. And that wasn't any good. Maybe give me some time, and I'll write something good.

[Annie]

OO! That's good. I like it. Haikus are hard. I wish I could write poetry. Sometimes I write something when I feel really inspired, but it usually does'nt relate to daemons, and I don't think they are very good anyway.... Ok, that didn't have a point....

[augury]

yeah, haiku is pretty hard- it's not that difficult to get the right amount of syllables, but you find that by the time the syllables are all correct, it doesn't have the same meaning anymore. the feeling of what you meant to write has changed by fitting it into the box.

incidentally, did you know that haiku is traditionally used to describe nature? it's written in the present tense, and you're not supposed to go back and edit it afterwards. it's spur-of-the-moment.
