Coward (Poem by Mark Borne)

Image
By
The loyal can abandon their friends,
The strong can fall the furthest.
The happiest cry the longest,
The brave can made the most.
Yet the betrayed stick around,
The weak push the hardest.
The heartbroken smile the brightest,
The cowardly stand the tallest.
So leave me behind,
And shove me down.
Taunt me tears,
And make me scared.
I'll never leave my friends,
And never give up hope.
I'll always grin and joke...
...actually, I'll always be a coward.

    I love this poem!

    It's so tragic, but then ends in an inspirational note; sorta.

    It's so funny! It reminds me of Theyan and Mark Starstike.

    It is very much in your style, especially humor-wise

    Definitely one of my favs.

This was bound to happen, like so much that the one that is probably next is I don't know... The Poet of Steel or Spitfire or Lady Knight, or just some other crazy. Plus, you guys know the drill. Mark's Addition : So...well...yeah, if anyone else wants to do one, let me know. Apparently, this is the thing to do on my blog right now, though I admit, I have no clue why.

Nexus Mad Libs

I assume most of you are familiar with what Mad Libs are. Basically, you're given a bunch of blanks to fill in, and you do so without knowing what the story is. Each blank has a part of speech labeling it, and that blank needs something that fits the part of speech. For example: Adjective: ________ --> Adjective: Explosive In the end, we usually have a hilarious end result that makes no sense whatsoever. One example is this (which is a real result I got once with my siblings): "Another way to help you fall asleep faster is drinking a nuclear glass of warm vinegar ." First, let's go over some rules. Obviously, keep it family friendly. This still goes for all blog content. Do not submit two words in a row. Submit one, and when someone else does one, you may do another. Submit through comments. That'll make it easier for me to assemble the final result. The category is Medieval Heroes . Here are the blanks: Adjective: Constipated (Kyra) Per...
