The contest will end November the 22nd at 3:00pm est. You may write a poem but it has to be regarding Ultima Online. It can be about about anything in general but any personal attacks on people will deem itself disqualified. You may talk about specific guilds however but only in a good light. I will base the winners on creativity, imagination, rhyming patterns, and how well it illustrates a picture in your head. And will not base my judgement on people I dislike or whatever, everyone has a equal chance.

Also has to be at least 4 stanzas or 12 lines.


1st place prize ~ Small house deed and Imp costume.
2nd place prize ~ 25k
3rd place prize ~ 10k

Good luck!

Entry # 1

Author: Rhaps

I need more pixels.
Red bastard means grey screen,
I lost precious pixels.

Leetest murderer.
Parent's basement smells bad,
am so very lonely.

I love healing friends.
Must cut how many bandages?
Era accuracy!

Finally placed keep,
Chumbucket can't steal this now.
Where are precious loots?!


Entry #2

Author: Hans

My modem goes Beep boop beepe-dee-dee
And I'm on UO in retro mode
With a dial-up modem and a connection cord
Killin foes with my vanquishing sword!

I got some loot from a-sumbody's corpse
Now the reds are chasin' me with no remorse
I kick my horse and run through the trees
Dodgin' mongbats and chick-a-dees

Til I find a small house with an open door
I hide inside and before I know, my connection's dead
My mom called and kicked me off the in-ter-net
I say "later ma!" and dial back to find..

My body's chopped up, and my head, I can't find!
Thos PK's tracked my ass to this little shed
Why oh why is all my s**t all gone?!
My vanquishing sword and my battle thong!


Entry #3

Author: Chaos

Kal Ort Por
and close the door

the coast is clear
no reds are here

Vas Corp Por
and it hits the floor

a truly horrible beast
its furies unleashed

An Lor Xen
and hidden again

watching I wait
pondering my fate

Kal Vas Flam
and I gain fame

looting with hast
nothing to waste

An Mani
and timing uncanny

name dressed in red
[ACE] above his head

An Ex Por
and move no more

in my head
I am dead

Vas Ort Flam
and noones to blame

purple pot
hits the spot

Cor Por
and body sore

a ghostly sound
body parts found


(Not an actual entry just for fun)

By: Joshua Lee

I came to this shard
But I didn't start a bard
I started with a fighter
My dex soaring making my feet lighter
I roamed the lands
Getting owned my face in the desert sands
My name traveled word spread of my good act
But in battle my skills did lack
I was tired of being an easy kill
Tired of losing the thrill
I started a guild called the tiger warrior guild
Soon my hopes and dreams were filled
We at least had each other
Friends like no other
I left for some time and the guild fell apart
It was inevitable from the start
I made a hally mage and fwerp trained my skill
it took me some time but I started to be able to kill
I started the sacred tiger order clan
Some from my past some new trying to be established in the land
We converse on vent havin a great time
Takin idocs down and taking some names on the dime
A great war started between me and an old foe
Grimm Grimson moved into MUB town but I could see through his evil acts fo sho
The battle for middle earth started, !!! TG sTo kB took the battlefield
With my great hally I did wield
Many of us died that day, many times
I can still hear those battle chimes
We scored a huge idoc with a neverending supply of loot
Neon dyes black dye tubs rares made us saying woot
Greed took over that day as one of our own started in
It was inevitable that we would disband again
I came up with the idea of a noble kingdom on ocarina
The end of the kingdom of heaven was the beginning of Proserpina

Now I have returned just like I said I would
With new skills and new powers I have gained all I could
I know everything about the lands and the people
I know how corrupt some can be when under the church steeple
Revenge will be mine of all my fallen
I can still hear their souls a callin

Let my bravery be thine sword
Let my tactics be thine helmet
Let my charisma be thine armor
Let my truth be thine shield
Let my vengeance be my wrath
Let my will be my bloodlust
Let my patience be my virtue
Let my promises be fulfilled

Let my tiger warrior spirit remain true, even after all this time.


Entry #4

Author: sps420

When I started my dexer, I chose to stay blue.

To help players and kill monsters like the good people do!

Till I was traveling south of Moonglow one night

When this mage on a horse ran up for a fight!

He froze me in place with a paralyzing spell

My stamina was gone and my health sharply fell

He then ceased his assault and demanded my ride

It was only a Llama so I swallowed my pride

To increase my confusion, he gave me his horse

If he asked for it nicely, I would have traded of course

But I liked his way better though I was beaten and brused

Because I respected method he decided to use

Puzzled and laughing I took off in the night

with a smile on my face because I had seen the light

I have turned to the dark side because the mischief is great

If I should happen to die, I'm aware of my fate

Suited in black with a kryss I will fence

Seeking cheap laughs at other people's expense

I'm banished from town and hunted on sight

So happy hunting to all and good luck with your fight!


Entry #5

Author: nickhimself

Farming for gold is the way to make way
Titles galor, you've hit "Lord" today!

That feeling is great though it doesn't last long
You're realizing why being a Lord sometimes feels wrong

Not the title itself but the fights that it causes
When an envious griefer attacks without pauses

He wants you to die, not for counts or for loot
He wants your mount dead and your title to boot

You're glorious now but shortly that's lifted
As your items are taken, your focus is shifted

No longer seeking a life full of fame
You smash your keyboard, those jerks reds to blame

Lordship left quickly, just as fast as you caught it
Life in a new light, your anger has brought it

Scoundrel comes quick as you do wrong to others
You've received your first count, word to your mothers

omg lol u ##### that dude quick
rofl dropped in secs as you yelled "SUK MY ####!1"

2 counts, 3 counts, 4 counts more
No longer can you travel in your favorite town store

Your name now is red, the color of blood
Stomping that past life down into the mud

But wait here's a name that comes with a title
The fury you feel is raw and unbridled

His life dropped quick but his fear must have soared
As you rode off with loot and his title of Lord

Edit: Just to clarify in case, these are 4 Haikus, not one poem. Figured entering 1 Haiku would be too small an entry to compete. Wasn't sure if rules allowed multiple entries or not so just thought I'd mention.

The Collector of Souls and the Lord of the abyss
Picking their teeth with my vanquishing Kryss
Panpipe wails his song and is gone
Balrons fight for my weapon within Terrathon

"I had something more spectacular and long written out but the server being busy screwed that up."

Go and ask chumbucket, "Will my thread get moved if someone posts trash talk in it?" and he will surely respond "In the trash talk forum is where it will inevitably sit!"

Haha listen up kid. If a moderator moves a POETRY contest to trash talk, then he clearly doesn't deserve that power. :lol:
