Title: The Iceni Anthology Poetry Series
Post by: Rampage on February 05, 2002, 07:57:00 pm
Anyway, I have decided to start a poetry series called The Iceni Anthology.  If you have a poem to contribute, please write it as a reply to this topic.

NOTE:  Only good poetry.  I don't want, for example:

Aken Bosch

He lived on the Iceni
and got captured by the Shivans
and are now working at the Shivan shipyards.
His a** gets beaten every day
because he doesn't work.


A head start poem for you:

"Lt. Kline D. Estinos"

Who's willing to fare to the Iceni
from the NTCv Pax
so defected to the NTF?
Two hundred were transferred to her
during her embarkment on her
maiden voyage.
Come close to Bosch as his personal
secretary I did.
Thirteen I did place in his private quarters,
his office space, and washroom.
To log, thirty thousand message parcels
were transferred to SOC with more in route?
How can I live as a servant
of the rebel swarm
and a man of honor?

And in case you were planning to ask, no, there is no such thing as GOOD fan art. Renders are one thing, this reeks of deep, dark obsession.

An Iceni Haiku
Bosch defected from the GTVA
Bringing with him the Iceni
Causing his crew misery.

Some drunk poetry. *hic*  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Death of a Pilot

I fire my Subach's at the enemy,
it's destruction a mighty pleasure,
yet I do not know that one is behind me,
the strike is fast and I lose cabin presure.

I'm starting to fall unconsious,
as my nose starts to bleed,
I know I should be more cautious,
but I feel like I am freed.

As my ship explodes in fire,
my lungs filled with laughter,
everyone thought I was a liar,
when I screwed the admiral's daughter!

"Admiral Aken Bosch"

Nobody knew about it
until it was too late.
I now suffer the consequence
of my actions.
Passing by the third Knossos
from my account,
I now see
the fate of our race.
What I did was for
our comrad Terrans.
How many more have to die
before I recognize my actions.
I witness the creation and the
destruction of stars.
What is to become of me?
What is to become of our race?
Has the exodus, this quest for madness,
ended in a collapse of a star?
Have we attained our salvation,
through my madness, my wrath.
How many more have to die?  How many more...
