Cosmere Limericks


Calderis

Recommended Posts

@Ciridae I tried coming up with one for Lift and failed miserably. 

A girl named Shallan killed her parents, 

Admit this to herself well... She daren't, 

But because of her spren, 

She remembers again, 

And has gained magic powers inherent. 

 

Elantris's power once bloomed, 

Then the chasm turned it to a tomb, 

Through trial and error, 

Raoden's the bearer, 

Of Elantris's power resumed.

These are fun! My entries:

A young boy named Kal was depressed.
The rain between years made him stressed.
His brother then died,
But Syl came to his side
And now they all call him Stormblessed!

As forgers go, Shai was the best.
An emperor owed her largesse.
She painted with Dor
Her soul stamps galore -
So many things left to Invest!

Jasnah and Ivory could Cast
Their souls anywhere but the past,
Desolations they knew
Would soon come anew.
How can humanity last?

Deep ‘neath the mountains of Sel

Approacheth a new type of h.ell

For Wyrn told no lies

Jaddeth will arise

And take up his place beside Trell

 

A nightmare created from Breath

That brings to the evil swift death.

If your thoughts aren’t so pure

Avoid the allure

Of a black sword, with silver sheath

 

With Honor she ruled many days

Til Odium invested in Braize

She knew it would d.amn her

But brave is our Slammer

Her prize was imprisoning Rayse

A pious and virtuous Shin, 

Accused of the gravest of sins, 

Truthless they said, 

His life he must shed, 

He slaughtered in white, assassin. 

Edit:

The shard is a wonderful place, 

Filled with knowledge and excessive grace, 

It's late and I'm tired, 

And I'm feeling inspired, 

To sleep 'fore I fall on my face. 

 

Goodnight.

These are SO much more entertaining than theorizing! All of the entries are excellent, but I especially like Calderis's "good night" message and Taravangian ditty.

Shards are a piece of the whole
Of the cosmere’s very first soul.
Adonalsium they called him
Before they destroyed him,
And now Shards fulfill his role.

Leras and Ati were friends
Who decided to follow a trend.
A planet they made,
But the plans that they laid
Would lead to that planet’s end.

Honor was a very fine fellow.
He bought drinks to make his friends mellow.
But Odium came,
Honor’s death to proclaim,
And vibrated Honor to jello.
[I hypothesize Honor’s death created the Shattered Plains.]

Did Shashara Awaken a sword?
Or was it a spren from abroad?
She commanded “Kill evil,”
What an upheaval
When Nightblood received his reward!

Glad somebody else enjoys this as much as I do.

This is highly entertaining to me as well...much more satisfying than doing my ACTUAL work....

That Lift is oh so awesome

Or so its said quite often

You can't seem to work

While she has a Shardfork

And tries to eat a vasum

They claimed 'twas the last desolation, 

While abandoning Taln to Damnation, 

It's utterly sad, 

That the Heralds are mad, 

Their actions deserve condemnation. 

 

A source of chaos in Azir, 

And a friend of the new Prime, most dear, 

Lift likes to eat, 

And she comes from the streets, 

Her penchant for novelty's clear. 

(the best I've come up with for Lift. Don't know why she makes this so difficult.)

Right hand of the Survivor,

Of goods he's a supplier,

But then Kel disappeared,

He lost even more cheer,

Dockson got caught in a quagmire.

 

 

Master of so many tricks,

Some clearly do not like his shtick,

Stronger than Lightweavers,

Can't even catch fever,

Of course I'm talking about Stick!

Obviously based on personal opinion here. 

 

A figure vastly over rated, 

By its fans, the Shard is inundated, 

"I am a stick," 

"I am a stick," 

I wish it was incinerated. 

I teared up a little bit reading this. Beauty in prose. Patrick Rothfuss himself could not have written a more moving piece.

 It was a good post. I support stick-bashing.

I have this temptation to do all my replies in limerick form. I that'll last about one post :)

Wait, let me rephrase

Imma be silly, no lie,

use limerick for my reply.

I doubt it'll last

So I'll do this quite fast

Before people think that I'm high.

I don't think I've heard my feelings towards the stick expressed so clearly and poetically before. Put this in the Coppermind!
