Cosmere Limericks

[ostrichofevil he/him]

Let's write Cosmere-themed limericks!  Here's mine:

 

There once was a Mistborn named Vin

Who sat upon a pin.

Her Pewter she Flared,

At the prankster she glared,

And Pushed it right back at him.

[Kobold King he/him]

There once was a city on Sel

With gods quite exceedingly swell

Till Odium came

And the Shards he did maim

And thus fair Elantris then fell.

[Curious Anamaximder he/him]

                                     There once named a guy called Lightsong, 

                                     He hated the bright, 

                                     And so he quipped and partyed all night. 

[Kobold King he/him]

                                     He hated the bright, 

                                     And so he quipped and partyed all night. 

 

 

Cute! Though for your education, a limerick must have five lines. The first, second, and fifth lines must all have somewhere between seven and ten syllables, while the third and fourth lines need to have five to seven. And of course, the first, second and fifth lines all have to rhyme, as do the third and fourth lines.

 

As so:

 

 

There once was a kobold made king

Whose friends found him irritating.

Now he was such a dunce

That they loathed him at once

And laughed when he choked on a ring.

Good, good, although most people will have trouble with the second line.

Whoops! I forgot 

[WayneSpren he/him]

 

There once was a city on Sel

With gods quite exceedingly swell

Till Odium came

And the Shards he did maim

And thus fair Elantris then fell.

 

I know Aona and Skai were splintered, but I didn't realize it would make Elantris fall a second time. Good to know.

 

There once was a Forger named Shai.

She really didn't want to die.

She was imprisoned

in a boring prison

she escaped because of a drunk guy.

[Stormgate he/him]

There once was a Shardholder named Rayse

His home is currently Braize

But the Listeners sing

The Everstorm bring,

So maybe that's not where he stays.

[The Honor Spren she/her]

There once was a girl from Roshar

Who wanted to play the guitar.

As she started strumming,

Pattern started humming,

And made her a rock n' roll star.

[Stormgate he/him]

Finally! Someone else posted on this thread!

[ostrichofevil he/him]

The Mistborn flared Steel and Tin,

To push himself off of a bin.

His face smacked a wall

and he started to fall,

right towards a sharp steel pin.

I see you are in the Dark Alley.

[Delightful]

HOA spoiler + reference to SoS

Vin went to Luthadel

Off Kredik Shaw she fell

The mist she burned

Into a shard she turned

And met a strange man named Trell.

[Stormgate he/him]

That was delightful.

[Smokestone]

There once was a half-skaa named Vin

Who discovered that she could burn tin

When Luthadel burned

She further discerned

That her actual foe was Ru-in.

[Smokestone]

A lass who wove light as a trick

Went splash and was soaked to the quick

Though dying from cold

She was repeatedly told

That a stick is a stick is a stick!

[Farnsworth]

Khriss she was feeling annoyed

Her Arcanum was lost in a void

Nazh asked where it was 

she said "I don't know 'cause

It was stolen by damnation storming Hoid!"

[Assassin in Burgundy he/him]

The chasmfiend's claw then descended. 

The soldier's life soon abruptly ended.

Then the Sharblades appeared,

The creature's end was near,

The chasmfiend soon was beheaded. 

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

There once was a woman of light

who claimed to have quite a plight

she begged for some help

and quickly was dealt

The cognitive shadow of spite

Misspelled word

[Farnsworth]

A Shardbearer was stabbed in the eye

Because Kaladin hated that guy

Kal took his plate

Gave it to his mate

Until Amaram made them all die

[+Extesian he/him]

With Vasher, Shashara got tech

She created some terrible mech

But with Vasher's honor

He went all John Connor

And now he's a guilt-ridden wreck

[Kingsdaughter613 she/her]

BoM spoilers:

Spoiler

There is a Survivor, Kelsier 

Also the Sovereign it's claimed

He's Fullborn I hear

His symbol's the spear

As Lord of the mists he's proclaimed!

 

There was a man Kelsier 

The greatest thief of the day

Dearly was he sought 

Until he was caught 

Mistborn he then became!

 

There was a Mistborn Kelsier 

He said, 'Time the nobles did pay.'

He gave up his life

To convince us to fight

But Survived as a Cognitive Shade!

 

There was a ghost Kelsier 

He held Preservation one day

Then refused to die

Put a spike through his eye

Survived to return as they say

 

There was a Survivor, Kelsier 

To the South he wandered one day 

Seeing their need

Became their king

Aquired Sovereign as a name

 

There is a person Kelsier

The Cosmere he wanders, away

But if we are need

Or coming to grief

He'll return to save Scadrial's day!

(First stanza repeats)

Note that you have to use the inworld pronunciation for the limerick to work. This is supposed to be a jump rope poem that kids sing once this is better known. (No, the various Churches aren't thrilled. Yes, Kell thinks it's awesome.) Each jumper does one stanza, the next jumping in at the last word of the last line.

M:SH spoiler:

Spoiler

Ati took one of sixteen Shards

Sent Marsh to kill one of the guards

The message he wished lost

Found its home to his cost

All thanks to the expert at cards

 

 

[Flynn]

I'm David, I've seen Steelheart bleed

And since then I've been filled with need

To make the perfect plan

Face him, man to man

And kill him, just as one would kill a weed

OB and WoR spoilers about Szeth, 

Spoiler

Szeth was a bright, bright young man

He followed a useless stone then

Nightblood came along,

Sang an annoying song

And drove Szeth to fix his homeland

But if you don't want to read that here's this Alcatraz one:

Alcatraz had very dark talents

He thought he was not very valiant

He found some good friends

But then it all ends

Because his darn father upset the balance
