Because I've nothin better ta do....
Post, comment, etc, on poems here. Keep insults to a minimum, I will delete any flame wars that happen so don't even try...
Here's one from a few days ago:
Such is War
The earth trembles
Feet crush all life
Consumed or burned
Such is war
Cries of death
Shouts of victory
Screams of retreat
Such is war
Fist upon fist
Blade upon blade
Gun upon gun
Such is war
Throughout ages
It has been waged
Ceaseless violence
Such has always been war
Empires thrive on it
Nations fall with it
None are immune to it
Immune to this war
When all have fled
Soldiers, refugees, widowers
Only the conquered remain
Always shall be war
Ground shall always be stained red
Men will always fall
Just new ways to do it come
Driven by war
No center function...

Sounds like something you'd say before leaving a hopeless battle.

A center function was missing
to our all despair
Emu came and fixed it
now we are happier
Quick reaction. GJ

Mars is red,
Neptune is blue,
Venus is gassy,
and Uranus is too.
Had to write a poem about science in 7th grade or something.

Rue is dark
Neph is fast
Fens a bark
and Xel can cast!

Your poem was quite gay,
what else can I say.
All I can pray,
is you come on and play.
He ends sentences with commas,
and brings tons of dramas.
Dawn knows little of EotA,
And steals heroes from DotA.
People say I like to flame,
and yes it may be true.
But A New Dawn is quite lame,
and Horton hears a who!

A_New_Dawn is a moron,
He's less intelligent than a
Goron,
He wrote a poem about Rue,
Which made me say,
Fuck you.

This reminds me of a touchdown I once made.
The Quarterback through the ball,
I had made myself a promise,
That I would give it my all,
and get a TOUCHDOWN THURMAN THOMAS!

William Butler Yeats would have you shot, and for a good reason.

Heres something to think about in future threads. Generally if a persons name is mentioned during the discussion of the topic chances are he has something to do with the topic being discussed.
I have a question I'm hoping you can answer for me Jamn, ready?
This thread was originally on the subject of poetry, with that much said who could W. B. Yeats possibly be?
1.) A mechanic
2.) One of the presidents
3.) A poet
4.) A Walmart employee

Its clearly 4. There are so many WalMarts, I am sure that a William Butler Yeats works there.

Can I get all the spam cleared outa here.
Spam-Off topic posts that, while having coherent meaning, are not directly related to the original topic.
The true definition of spam, single word/incoherent posts are not actually spam....thank you narodnik....

Sorry, but I must contradict. This thread is located in the 'Off-Topic' forum. Off topic replies are allowed, and are debatably encouraged by the mere title of this forum.

Hmm, which way to argue this....
By off topic, it means that non-EotA/wc3 stuff is to be discussed here, in other words, stuff off topic from the purpose of the forum itself. Off-topic from the threads within the area are not suggested by it, as that would mean it is a forum where no threads have topics and that there would be another area for things off purpose for the forum, but wanted to have a topic.
So, off-topic=not part of forums purpose(EotA and a bit of general wc3).
So, I can go start debates about pie eating juggling monkeys in every thread in both this forum and it's sub forum without any fear of consequence due to your confirming it's allowed. Please at least comment about this so I know if I have plans for next time I'm bored and Hindill/Hanzel and a few others are on.

Soulbourne, I think the part where you failed was asking for people to not flame.
