Meet & greet on Lonestar, eh?

[Liam Devlin]

From Chaos comes Order

Meter and form shape the cacaphony of words;
Haiku origami*.

*the Japanese art form of shaping paper animals*

There once was a man from Regina...

Wait, that'd be a limerick.

MWM's T5: My viewpoint

The Traveller's path points CT to T5;
Yaskodray is lost.

How We Stand on CoTI

Crossed in words stand we between "rules" and "Setting";
Shattered Imperium.

 

[Liam Devlin]

Story Telling

Four Tales*, ever retold, reshaped, ever changing;
The curtain rises.

* The eternal 4 Tales:

Man vs. Himself

Man vs. Man

Man vs. Nature/ the Elements

Man vs. Entropy / the Unknown.

[Jame]

Still waiting to participate in a true Traveller Chat,
With its chaos and wordslinging and act-like-a-brat,
But knowing that no-one would throw me to the mat.

 

[Mickazoid]

I have a little dream
of starships ploughing space
but every world I visit
seems like the same old place.

 

[Liam Devlin]

Mapmaker, Mapmaker, Make me a Map..

The oft tread Spinward Marches some still call their home,

Though new worlds beckon brightly farther lie dreaming,

Across the stars' wonders wherever I did roam,

From Hive-cities of steel with working billions teeming,

To pristine painted deserts, airless and alone;

And virgin worlds draped in verdant jungles steaming,

Familiar faces not strange places I own

Ever sets my ship's prow back to hearth and Home..

Battle of Wits

Wait no longer for your turn at bat,
Twist your words by this and that,
still matters not in the end,
Who calls who foe, & who calls freind
so talk the talk--or walk the walk,
Adieu, Jame: less Chat, More hat!

 

[Merxiless]

Is there a red stripe on the box?
Do miners bust carbonaceous rocks?
I will not sell my Sharushid!
I will not tell you where I hid!
In my room for days, with doors and locks!
And plastic dice in plastic box!
I will not play it, that 3rd ed game!
I would not could not, unless insane!

 

[Liam Devlin]

Shugilii-Spam

I will not eat it with a fox,
I will not eat it in a Box;
I will not eat it in a House;
I will not eat it with a mouse!
I won't eat it in Acid rain,
I won't eat it on Mag-lev train!
I will not eat it near or far,
I won't eat it in my Grav-car!
I will not eat it here, nor there
I will not eat it anywhere!
I do not like Shugilii-Spam--
I do not like YOU, Hiver-Sam!

So Haiku's have become Dr. Suess?

Didn't take long for this to degenerate (only 8 pages...)

There once was a man from Regina
Who went to a Starport Cantina.
He sought a way home
A Free Trader to roam
But wound up alone on Jensina.

(OK, I made up that last planets name, I couldn't think of another rhyme with Regina).

I can, but it's rude...

 

[ravells]

There was an old girl from Regina
Who picked up a man in a diner
He blushed quite a lotto
when she whispered in sotto
'Be gentle, I have acute angina'

 

[Plankowner]

WELL!

I was TRYING to keep it nice, but I guess that isn't really how Limricks go is it?

 

[Mickazoid]

When skimming for fuel it is best
Not to take an unscheduled rest.
For if engines should fail
and warning horns wail
By a hundredfold G's you'll be pressed.

</font>[/QUOTE]I have always pronounced it (and thought it) as "riJEENA" not "riJEYENA" or anything else.
