Welcome, to a space dedicated to adventurer-written first drafts of poems relating to RuneScape at large!

You can set them snywhere. Open your mind! All welcome, all encouraged, it could be your first poem about the Savannah Scape that is All Kharid. Be it the Marilyn Monroe-esque celebrity characters, the Moon of Zanaris or esoteric wordplays surrounding your favourite characters/placenames of RuneScape, everything is fair game! Welcome, to the First Draft Poetry Corner.

Critique, comment, adapt one another's works, write prequels, sequels, anything at all!

I'll start things off with an example, a Limerick:

The Doorway to Zanaris, by gYromAncY

With a Dramen Staff in one hand,
the Magician set sail to far lands.
They came ill-prepared
and so when they got there
they had nothing but buckets of sand.

Bump

And oops! The thread title was too long. It was supposed to read: First Draft Gielinor Poetry Corner

But Co works well too! It's as if a collaboration, corporation, company or composite of all works shared here exist as one as equals, just as life should be. :)

World Eventuality, across Asgarnia


A cabbage awakes and finds themself
alive within the fields of green,
awake to shine and not to dream,
yet fully-fed and in good health.

Some day a pet rock climbs above
mountaintops topped with white wolves.
Why? To find a steady antidote
to their unfeeling, seeing eye.

Ten thousand stranger citizens
across the moons of Erised
do not, and will not cave into
pressures to choose a spirit guide,

and inching forward, meet their maker,
forming, a richer, poorer taker.

I cling to the death of your light and your heat
Take the next step and I'll cling to your feet
A long-dead snowfall of choking gray waves
Walk far enough north, and I'm all that you'll meet
What am I?


I'm not the best at riddles, but are you... The Wilderness? :)

Oh, whoops, I totally forgot I posted that! The answer is a little more general and setting-nonspecific, but the Wilderness certainly works!
The answer I had in mind was "ash". So, the Wilderness is darn close.


I feel you're being very kind giving me "ash" as "The Wilderness! I can't get wildernesses from lighting logs and waiting for them to burn out, so, as far as RuneScape goes, until just now I had considered Wildernesses and Ashes as very different things.

Good riddlepoem! :D

A Pickpocket's Diary Entry

Something's got to give
more than three experience.
The world is full of deep pockets
yet I see little more than three

GP each time I sweep down,
each day, my silent gauntlets
a loss-leader in my trade.

Oh, how I yearn to get to the guards
Asgarnia's cities are lined by. Ten times
any sum I've ever stolen are ready,
awaiting a swift hand!

Ah, well, back to the silent handfuls
of enough to buy my daily
vegetables and fruits to feed
the ever-hungry mouths
of my
chinchompas
.
