PokéPoetry! #5​


Once again, PB writers, it's time for an exhilarating contest! We are excited to introduce a new style of contest - one that we've never done before. I don't want to espouse a bunch of superfluous jargon, so I'll cut to the chase. We are introducing a poetry contest. "Well, what do we have to do?" "What does this contest entail?" Simply, you must follow these rules, and we will explain.

Rules

I. You must reserve a post in this thread, detailing your chosen style of poetry. Example:

Code: 
Username: William Shakespeare
Chosen style: Sonnet (Iambic Pentameter)

II. Once we acquire the list of names from your reserved posts, we will RANDOMLY assign a Pokémon with which you will create your freestyle poem.
  • Your poem must at least contain five lines to be accepted, with the sole exception being a haiku.
  • You must write your poem about that assigned Pokemon (you may not request for a change). Failure to do so will result in a disqualification.
  • Be descriptive!

III. Don't plagiarize; any instances of plagiarism will result in a disqualification from the contest and a ban.

IV. You will be able to choose up to three of your favorite poems during the judging phase. You will be able to either "like" the contestant's post or send a PM to [mod]Turtwig[/mod] with the name(s) of the contestant('s)/poem's title. Anyone can vote, not just contestants! All members are encouraged to take part in the voting process.

V. You may edit your poem until the voting phase begins.

VI. Please make sure you use proper spelling and grammar! Poems that fail to reflect this will be disqualified.

This contest will be very relaxed, and you will be given the opportunity to write your poem in any way you desire. For example, if you are assigned a dark, gloomy Pokemon like Mismagius, you are free to make your poem reflect upon that Pokemon's nature and type, or you may completely surprise us and write the complete opposite and incorporate the positives and playfulness of Mismagius. It's all up to you! A few examples of the types of poetry are as follows:
  • Free Verse
  • Blank Verse
  • Haiku
  • Sonnet
  • Epic
  • Limerick
  • Song (duh!)
    And many, many more... (Google's your friend)

Important Dates

1/30 - Sign Ups begin.

2/4 - Sign Ups end and Pokémon are assigned.

2/13 - Entries for Round Two are due and voting begins.

2/16 - Voting ends and winners are announced!

Aggron Rap

Name’s Aggron, don’t aggravate me,
For 800 lbs be the last thing you see,
I munch on metal, spit it out easy
And I spit out rhymes like I spit out Blissey

There be no bliss when I’m around
I’ll Head Smash, Heavy Slam, maintainin’ ma ground,
Ma metal be tough - metallic compound
EQ me all ya want - I got Sturdy, I’m sound

There’s no gain, all pain,
Cross me once and I’m inhumane,
I’m the beast that cannot be tamed,
Look at me and you’ll be maimed.

I destroy the opposition - what a sorry bunch they are,
Iron Head on Flabebe and immune to Gengar
Let me drop some beats and pick you off one by one
Though there be little point - I’ve already won.

Yo Cleffa - ya need to Rock Polish up ya rhymes,
There’s no effect usin’ Pound numerous times,
Your Fairy Dust - I just sniff that away,
Iron Tailin’ ya ass back to Johto’s days

A ball of pink - where I heard that before?
You just a rip-off of Jigglypuff - rejected at the door,
Star-Shaped Pokemon? Staryu beat ya to it,
Let me finish up my rhymes ‘cause I be spewin’ it.

Scorched Feathers I like you - but Haiku,
Be more adventurous than that,
Yo Gloom is gloomy and yo rhymes are flat
You be the Gloom-bringa, I be the doom-bringa,
Poison Powder ad infinitum - I just Giga Impact.

Ya may have Giga Drain but I’m drainin’ up ya style,
Ya may have Sweet Scent but my scent is all vile,
Ya may have Chlorophyll but ya lack my guile,
I overpower you ‘cause I’m versatile.

Chaos Jackal, call Treecko “The Pest”?
Well I’m the pesticide,
Ma deep battery acid burns through its weak hide,
Ya Razor Leaf ain’t gonna do much to ma pride,
Aqua Tail in the chest while yo using Bide.

“Treecko the Gecko is laughing at you”
Well he be laughing no more,
He can climb up ceilings but he can’t escape my Roar,
Sure he’s stealthy but ma Stealth Rock is too,
I be the juggernaut and I’m overpowerin’ you.

I’m powering through y’all
It’s time for y’all to condone,
My demolision of y’all,
Now let me use my Mega Stone.

WHAT’S UP LOSERS?
LET ME FILTER THROUGH THE REST,
WE’VE GOT CHARMELEON THE CHAMELEON WHO’S ONLY SECOND BEST

FIRE BLAST? I FILTER DAT
BRICK BREAK? I FILTER DAT
FLAMETHROWER? I FILTER DAT
YOU DON’T DEAL CRAP WHEN I FILTER DAT

IT’S GETTIN’ HOT IN HERE YET YOU’RE THE ONE THAT’S ROASTIN’
AND WHILE IT’S TRUE THAT I’M THE ONE WHO’S BOASTIN’
IT’S JUSTIFIED
AS YO FLAMES SUBSIDE
AND YOU FALL VICTIM TO ANOTHER AGGRON TOASTIN’

YO MELOETTA, I ADMIT, YOU CAN DANCE AND SHOUT
BUT MA HEAVY METAL’S SHOWIN’ METTLE TO DROWN YA OUT,
MELOETTA?
LET’S JUST FORGET HER,
YOU’RE DEAD WEIGHT WHEN I GO ON MA TIMELY ROUT

YA GODDAMN SINGIN’? I FILTER DAT
I FILTER EVERYTHIN’ THAT SOUNDS LIKE A DYING CAT
YA KNOW WHAT, I’VE HAD ENOUGH; JUST fudge IT
YA COULDN’T CARRY A TUNE IN A BUCKET.

HEY GENGAR, MEGA PAL,
YA PLAYIN’ TAG WHILE I’M BOOSTIN’ MA MORALE
AND WHILE IT BE TRU YOU’RE MA BIGGEST FOE
I AIN’T SCARED OF NO POKEMON
AND AIN’T SCARED OF NO SHADOW

YA GRIN IS A FACADE FOR THE LIFELESS CREATURE YA ARE
YO FOCUS BLAST MISSES AND I FIND IT BIZARRE
THAT YA EVEN THINK OF TAKIN’ ON THE MIGHT THAT IS MOI
YA BE THE POVERTY WHILE I BE THE BOURGEOIS

FLABEBE, NO FLOWER AND YA FLOAT AWAY,
I JUST MASH YOU DEAD TO A FRENCH SOUFFLE
A FLICK OF MA TOE AND YA KNOCKED OUT COLD
YOU TINKERBELL-END, MY HEART IS COLD
AND I DON’T CARE HOW TINY YA BE
I’LL MURDER YA UNLESS YA HURRIEDLY FLEE

GOURGEIST - AND SHINY TO BOOT!
YA CRAPPY DESIGN RENDERS YA MOOT
FOREST’S CURSE?
I DON’T KNOW WHAT’S WORSE
BEING CARVED FOR FUN OR BEING EATEN AS A FRUIT

AH, AND KINGLER, “KING OF THE SEA”,
YA CLAWS ARE NO MATCH WHEN I’M YO ENEMY
AND I’M NO STRANGER TO YO WATERY TURF
I’M A GODFUCKINGZILLA AND I CAN LEARN SURF

NOW ENDS MY RAP WHERE I’VE DESTROYED ALL,
I’VE LEFT TRAINERS IMPRESSED AND USERS APPALLED
AND I LEAVE YOU HERE, UTTERING MA LAST WORDS WITH GLEE,
I’M AGGRON, DON’T fudging AGGRAVATE ME.

raps are forms of poetry, right?
right?

Meloetta's tale

images

In the cold, cold night
She was alone and wiped her tears
Her eyes was numb, she tired to cry
So she lied on her bed, sung aloud to sky

Deep-deep inside she was a little girl
Naive and kind with too soft of heart
No one guided her, she was too scared to ask
So she sung a melody, hoped for company
Shed down her last tear, in her last breath

And that's how Meloetta was born

Born from melody out of desperation
Tears crystallize to her eyes
She isn't scared anymore
World is so huge and she finally can out and play

She make songs about the sky and everything under
Sings them aloud in the clear auburn day, or under the moonlight
She's dancing along with the music in her head
Kissing hearts of people that is endowed to hear

Some is said, she still sings in her sleep
Snoring a hum, making rhymes with her breath

She sings about a dream and hope for better world
She sings to the scared little girls
Guiding the lost, only with her voice
Meloetta knows the hurt, understands the frightened
So she sings happy song, to bright hearts of lonely souls

She sings, all she do is singing
So Meloetta singing her old forgotten song
Composed by loneliness, and dream of better world
Rage by her own weakness, her inability to change
And that's how Meloetta transforms

As the pungent smell
Wafts through the air, it finds that
it has made eyes stream​

I-I do poems occasionally!

Treecko, huh... Not exactly my style, but I think I can do something.

The Pest

Up your walls, on your ceiling
The green gecko is mocking you
He cares not about you, he just jumps around
Leaves you behind, raging and steaming

You hunt it all over the house
You try hard, but in vain
Treecko cares not of your protests
For now the house is his domain

He avoids all you might throw
These feet of his are such a pain
As he clings on walls and ceilings
Defying gravity and raising a brow

He chows on his branch like a tough guy
Leaps around and slaps you with his tail
His Bullet Seed plagues you wherever you go
No matter what you do, it’s to no avail

Treecko the gecko is laughing at you
As you keep on falling behind
He leaves the house when he wants to
For more trouble he seeks, this tough guy
​
 
RE: PokéPoetry! V (Sign-Ups!)

in to dominate with a limerick about shiny Gourgeist, buck yeah

She floats around without a care
and tickles you with purple hair
If you hear her sad song
for this world you're not long
It's a pit of shiny despair.

The star:

Pink light reflecting through the sky
Twinkling so bright, yet tiny to the eye
The Japanese, they call her Py
Remember, not all legends are a lie.

A shape of a star, and a star she shall be
Never peace, people always want to see
Her tiny brown tips in the dark grey sea
If you get up too close, she shall flee

Nobody knows where she is from
The moon they suspect, but that looks so glum
If you find out the truth you will think it is dumb
The person who tells it you, labelled as scum

Please do not fret, your secret's with me
Nobody knows what you do want to be
You are a Pokemon as much as a tiny Eevee
They will understand you, do not worry

So please, little star, grace us with lights
Break free from your peril of strife-ridden fights
You will always continue your luminous flights
You'll never forget, the breath-taking sights

Come down to Kalos, to Johto or Kanto
To regions where war is now just a no-show
Where people will see your beautiful glow
And after a glance, they won't want to go

Join in a world of dancing and glee
Where love and compassion is all you could see
With beautiful landscapes, lighted by thee
Yes, little Cleffa, please come with me.
