Whew, good.

<Snipped quote by Vampyr>

Poe =D

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Read what you wrote. It's analysis.

@Etcetera

You told me there was no rhythm. I told you there was, and what it was. Either way, when I write poetry iambic pentameter comes naturally. My two previous sonnets have been in that.

<Snipped quote by Vampyr>

What poet? And we all have our own skills. Frankly, I chalk it ip to me getting lucky and writing a decent one for once, as I am a barely capable writer.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

"Post-Saying"

Good to know that were all prepared. Now you all need to calm down. Any fighting between us could cause a power spike, and genesis would find us and obliterate us in an instant. We need to keep moving. No more comments. No matter how bad we want to voice our opinion.*side glances toward elizabeth*

*a noise sounding like something clicking over metal resonates in a hallway to shinji's right*

-... And that's why.

*it gets close enough for us to see it, as Shinji shines his light down the hallway*

Whatever that is, it doesn't look nice.

@Vampyr

-Maddie- It just looks weird!

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

It's really not.

@Etcetera

How so?

Martyn: Toby has enough weapons to fill this ship to the point of exploding.
Toby: More than that.

@Heroic

-Maddie- Wow! You must collect more than I thought!
Do you collect all the time?

Myriad Reality

I like how everyone here is showing their poetic abilities off and I'm the one related to one of the most famous poets and can only write song lyrics:(

@Vampyr

Song lyrics are poetry too. Well, more like the skeleton of poetry, as in rhythm and rhyme. Not the flair of not-as-rigidly-rhythmic poetry.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

You're looking at it all wrong. Poetry can't be analyzed; it's an art.

@Etcetera

When did I analyse what? o3o

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I agree.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

It's written, and I'm not sure what you call this, but the line pattern is ABCBBB. The A and C have sixteen syllables and the Bs merely need to rhyme.

@Heroic

Huh. Let me try to say it again.
Post-Saying Edit: Yup, it sounds much better that way. I'm dumb.

Taking after your father's lack of self control again, I see.

@Etcetera

But she corrected the impulse. Having a lack of self-control is acting on the impulse, but she didn't.

Actually, four. Forgot to count each of my massive biceps.

@Heroic

-Maddie- Suuuuuure! *giggles*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Your rhythm is off and it's not meaningful because you wrote it to write it.

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

AP English is a paradox in itself.

@Etcetera

But I didn't write it to write it. An idea actually did pop up in my head, which is why I decided to put a stopwatch on myself to see how long it'd take me to make that idea into a poem. Also, it's iambic pentameter all the way through, except for the omission of one syllable at the beginning of the first and last (Never is it any less than mere) line.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Wat

@Heroic

There's more than sixteen syllables in some lines of the poem, so I can't figure out how to say it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

I gots two, mate.

@Heroic

-Maddie- Yay!
And I have all my instruments at my disposal.

Toby: It's umm...
*Pulls a pair of nunchucks out of my backpack*
Yeah.

@Heroic

Great. Sjin, do you have a weapon?

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*I mumble something and the blades disappear*

@Extra

-Maddie- Hey! What about being ready?
