Poetry Teal's Poetry Tavern

Teal

Eater of Worlds
Hello fellow forumers and welcome to Teal's Poetry Tavern. Thanks to my collaborator @Qui Devorat for this incredible idea. My tavern shall be the official home of my poems and hopefully a multitude of other poets.
This tavern of mine boasts a hopeful future and plenty of virtual ale. Here I will post my poems in the main OP and in the replies (I plan to do those weekly). The Poetry Pavilion is a weekly segment that me and the other members who join our crew will do.
As part of this we are going to do community created challenges (Terraria or TCF Related) that must be submitted one week prior to the next release date.
Currently consists of:
  • Teal
  • Qui Devorat
  • TheQuietBisharp
  • The Magic Cookie
But what is a tavern without its regular drunkard? Not much. We want to involve all of you interested in poetry to join us here at this thread and actively participate in making poetry. We might even do the occasional challenge directed towards you poets out there. As such we will highlight our favorites and those admired the most. I look forward to seeing you around my tavern. So sit down relax and enjoy a nice mug of ale.

Hello and welcome to the olde tavern
Do come in and relish at our delights.
A peaceful place to relax and slip into the nights.
Take of our finest mead house brew.
Get comfy perhaps take off your shoes.
I incline you to come in, should you accept.
Our goal is poetry; in which we're adept.
Laugh and have fun and share a glass!
For you men out there we have many' a lass.
Join in our chanting it is all in good time.
So one last bidding before you indulge in our rhyme.

There was once a man, we sing of him now.
He was a great hero to which many would bow.
The legend of his feats are vast and broad.
He left a lasting mark from his mines to the logs he sawed.
When he clad his armor he was bound for fight!
His first challenge was the hovering eye!
He slashed it removing its sight.
He vanquished it with cunning and a fierce battle cry!
The second a slime adorning a crown.
He slain the beast who compared to him was but a clown!
The third a tail of a enormous bee,
She bore the marks of royalty!
But down did she go!
Although underground the vultures of death still crow.
His last and most tragic a story of an impressive wall.
The fowl concoction of flesh towered tall.
It's tendrils entangled him throwing him down.
After all even heroes fall.

'Twas a fine day until I awoke the next morning.
A mess lie on the floor. I had been changed with no warning.
A new form, a new page!
But my old self gone... an outrage.
I came across adventurers, I did.
Conducted myself in a childish way. Like a kid.
Oh what fun! So much delight.
Even If I delivered the bloke quite a fright.
I even endeavored into the the icy realm of snow.
Me and my gelatinous self shall go where no one shall know.
Conquered me a zombie, nice punch I did throw.
The end of my story is up to I, but where shall I go?

A Writer's Poem -For @Pixel
To you my good friend,
For the nights you entertain me with no end.
Your talents are vast and your writing inspiring.
Those who relish your works are never tiring.
Plague to numerous other stories, all share their glories.
Your Bookshelf is composed of so much artful content.
Pixel's literature is flawless and without dent.
So sit at your chair, read a good book.
Pixel and his wonderful talents deserve a good look.
There are a lot who admire every step you took.

I eat of the mushroom this fine evening.
Its fungi family are surely grieving.
The Terrarian man take all the fungi for potions.
I begged him to stop but he ignores my notions.
This one mushroom I shall enjoy.
I mustn't worry over the foolish boy.
The complex taste and texture, my tongue relishes.
Comforting flavor just embellishes!
However I worry about the man yet again, even at my bed.
For he kills my brethren for their shells, I have watched as they bled.
So here I hide in this cavern, my own stead.
Waiting for the day he comes for my head.

So on a certain server
I did many a frost moon
With enough monsters
To make the hardened swoon
Smuggling in Armor and weapons
At the time of day
While at the time of night
Fighting the hordes away
So it was a usual life
In terms of the fight
With light consumed by dark
And dark consumed by light
But that's the point of things
At the very least around here
To become a man and eschew
The thing known as fear.

Shambling endlessly with no goal in sight
Doomed forever to destroy and fight
No worthy drops like Souls of Flight.
These are the days of a zombie

Moon turns red
Humans fear the dead
Zombies are well-fed.
These are the days of a zombie

Early game threat
Make any child fret
Something not to be met
These are the days of a zombie

Hardmode comes around
Not scary is our sound
Reduced to a pile on the ground
These are the days of a zombie

Put to rest
By the best
No longer a slaughter-fest
The days of a zombie have ended.

Week 1 Installment - Qui Devorat & Teal



  1. Teal
    I looked o'er the bow of me fine ship.
    The ocean so tempting. I might e'en take a dip!
    But I be wary for the dangers of the sea.
    For it takes but a jellyfish to challenge me.
    The danger lies in the depths of the water.
    There I mustn't worry bout' pirates or me end'n likar cannon fodder.
    Sharks are a challenge worthy of ye'
    Their fins are desirable and many a pirate take of thee!
    Aye, the waters are too enticing.
    "Select me a blade, food for slicing!"
    I will plunge into the sea on this salty day.
    Any shark, jellyfish, or crab I will slay.
    Purple dye I can sell to the Dye Trader back past the bay.
    Aye! My blunderbuss don't work down below.
    So cutlass it is, can't panic must keep me breathin' slow.
    Time to fight, a shark I have spotted.
    Cursed as Kidd, It bit me. Ahh... Grab the harpoon.
    The blasted shark crazy as a coon.
    As I swim back with me tre'ure It hear me a shout.
    Wonder to myself what's that about
    I hurry to the surface to hear "We will run into an island, prepare to maroon."
    Enraged I shout "You buffoon!"
    "Steer away, before you owe me a hefty boon."
    But just as 'e did a great crack I did hear.
    This struck me with tremendous fear.
    I watched as the the back split in'two and me chests spill out the rear.
  2. Qui Devorat
    It creeps, it seeps
    The infectious land disease
    Disrupting the natural order
    and forcing it to it's knees
    It transforms and twists life
    That doesn't escape it's clutches
    And causing the survivors strife
    As they battle family and friend
    Locked in a fight for survival
    That could easily spell their end.

    And the issue with Light
    Despite it being "Good"
    It is just as full of spite.
    With the wonderful Unicorn
    Who will show how sharp
    He can be with his horn.
    And the pixies, cute eh?
    But they come in a flood
    And can hit you hard
    Enough to make you spit blood.

    And that, my friends
    Is why I love neutral ground
    The lesser and weaker beasts
    Make it more peaceful and sound.
    The green grass has the perk
    Of not burning my skin
    Unlike the embodiment of paradise
    Or the wasteland of death and sin.
    And since the corrupted have shedded me
    I'm a force all of my own.
    Keeping the power, but not dark or light
    The purity is now to me home.

    So all the hallowed Knights
    Who follow the creed of their land
    And seek to bury me and all else
    With the killing blow from their hand
    "Ab omni malo purget ut terram hanc."
    I hear them chant to the sky
    "Ego meum, non vestrum , non obscuro."
    I utter back, time the fanatics die.

The Eye of The Corruptor's Adventures
I travelled from world to world scared and alone,
I have escaped the land where the monsters endlessly roam.
This man who found me and free'd me shall be my master.
Perhaps he and I will go adventures into the dungeon and encounter the legendary caster.
Where ever this journey takes me I shall head with it in gratitude.
The echoing scary sounds of my head are now of less amplitude.
He is cunning and grand but his adventures to him are but food.
This human I follow always need more.
I know that me and him are sadly destine for a story riddled with gore.
Do my own thoughts betray me?
Are the darker thoughts, the answer, not treason but only the key.
My kind realm in the land of the forsaken.
But from my old world have I not been taken?
Can I slaughter the man who was my savior...
I know my old people would endorse such behavior...
I could make new roots here in this land.
But this life it is not bland.
I cannot leave it behind!
Nor my master, I shan't leave him blind.
With this I pledge my loyalty to my keeper.
And if he dies we shall both face the reaper.

Free'd from below but morphed forever,
Is this liberty, This intriguing endeavor?
Or just agony of potential lost, severed.
I guess my life is not all that bad,
My master is daring and frankly quite mad.
The jungle is a place we've explored as of late!
If you don't use caution there lies your fate.
I have seen hornets and slimes of all kind,
but also some loot and many rare finds.
This life ain't so bad I'm still settling in,
Living as a creature, a monster amongst men.
I'm deformed sure but I've got my charm.
So far smooth sailing and no sign of harm.

And may this place
Grow from young to old
Without losing it's power
Of attracting the bold
All poets old and new
If collabs are your specialty
Then this is for you.
So let's start this place
With many a cheer
As we exercise our trades
With a fresh mug of beer.
 
An 'ode to "The Slime who thought" By the fantastic @TheQuietBisharp

'Twas a fine day until I awoke the next morning.
A mess lie on the floor. I had been changed with no warning.
A new form, a new page!
But my old self gone... an outrage.
I came across adventurers, I did.
Conducted myself in a childish way. Like a kid.
Oh what fun! So much delight.
Even If I delivered the bloke quite a fright.
I even endeavored into the the icy realm of snow.
Me and my gelatinous self shall go where no one shall know.
Conquered me a zombie, nice punch I did throw.
The end of my story is up to I, but where shall I go?

Challenge here.

I did many a frost moon

Smuggling in Armor and weapons

So it was a usual life
In terms of the fight
With light consumed by dark
And dark consumed by light
But that's the point of things
At the very least around here
To become a man and eschew
The thing known as fear.

Mind if I add to the OP?

This is fantastic. I didn't even think people had read that story. You mind if it goes in the siggy?

(Thank you @Lord Llama for the fantastic art, It inspired me to make a poem about it even in the depths of my writer's block. Sadly it does go a bit morbid which is sad for me because I fiercely love these animals.)

Lamentations on chaos

It creeps, it seeps
The infectious land disease
Disrupting the natural order
and forcing it to it's knees
It transforms and twists life
That doesn't escape it's clutches
And causing the survivors strife
As they battle family and friend
Locked in a fight for survival
That could easily spell their end.

And the issue with Light
Despite it being "Good"
It is just as full of spite.
With the wonderful Unicorn
Who will show how sharp
He can be with his horn.
And the pixies, cute eh?
But they come in a flood
And can hit you hard
Enough to make you spit blood.

And that, my friends
Is why I love neutral ground
The lesser and weaker beasts
Make it more peaceful and sound.
The green grass has the perk
Of not burning my skin
Unlike the embodiment of paradise
Or the wasteland of death and sin.
And since the corrupted have shedded me
I'm a force all of my own.
Keeping the power, but not dark or light
The purity is now to me home.

So all the hallowed Knights
Who follow the creed of their land
And seek to bury me and all else
With the killing blow from their hand
"Ab omni malo purget ut terram hanc."
I hear them chant to the sky
"Ego meum, non vestrum , non obscuro."
I utter back, time the fanatics die.

Latin. :D

Thank you to Qui for participating in the Poetry Pavilion Team! Remember we are always looking for more people to join the Poetry Pavilion, if interested send me a PM w/some of your poetic work.

Here is my entry for the first ever Poetry Pavilion:
