Valianthe Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I consider poetry a method of story-telling (think heroic or prose poems such as Beowulf, Iliad, and Odyssey), so I count poetry as fan-fic material. Ballads and dramatic monologues could work well too to foster character development, plot, and other elements of a good story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatile Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Of course poetry counts as fiction. Unless you're doing non-fiction poetry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirdthestrill Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 Absolutely! Now you're on the hook to write some. Grr...I shouldn't have said anything. Anyway, here's the best I can come up with, despite being tired and uninspired: The shadow stood upon the stairs Vengeance held in human form Silently he sped along An omen of the coming storm The door he reached, and there was stopped The guards would keep him from his goal The saber flashed, the crimson fang Destroying life, consuming soul The empty hall he entered then The red death stilled and put away He knew his foes waited for him But where and when, he could not say From the darkness leapt a man A knight of order old and great Yet confidence the shadow had Pride in unrelenting fate As the knight faced down his doom Through the door he saw a blur A flicker from his vision’s edge The end of hope began to stir Blasting like a cannon shot As transport crashed, defenses fell From one red tree a forest grew The day descended into hell The end of tale you all must know How city fell to lightless foe How warships blotted out the sun How Malgus fought, and duel was won.

Tatile Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 That was really good. It did very much read like a poem that gets told by candle light and a pint. Only one thing I would say is that "He knew his foes waited for him" might have flowed better as "He knew his foes awaited him", but that's just a personal preference. I never got into poetry as I have no rhythm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
