Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and love is in the air. Or festering in a sorry little lump in the corner, depending on your point of view.
Anyway, nothing screams Valentine's Day like poetry; specifically, awful poetry. Which is why I'm proud to announce NintendoLife's 'Awful Nintendo-Themed Poetry Competition' for all to enjoy!
The rules are pretty self explanatory:
It must be vaguely Nintendo related.
It must vaguely qualify as poetry (this does not mean it has to rhyme).
The more awful and cringe-inducing the better (although if you've accidentally written something elegant and moving, please feel free to share that too)
And... that's about it. Keep things clean, obviously (speaking of which, I have in on authority that 'crappy' is an acceptable word to use, but if not please change it).
After all entries are submitted, votes will be tallied, and the winner will be declared.
So get cracking! The more awkward metaphors and ham-fisted similes the better. Get those creative juices flowing.
To start thing off, here is my masterpiece:
"my luv 4 u is like a charizard;
it is so hot and fiery;
it saws thru the sky on a rainbow of flame;
a flamebow;
and wen u r close it grows even more stronger, like mega evolution;
and then it is unstopable;
and gains resistance to electricity;
u r my mega stone and i luv u;
thats y;
mega love x, i choose u
x x x x"
I feel I've set the bar pretty low, but I'm sure you can set it lower. Good luck!
Link never gets the girl,
because Zelda loves Ganon.
Their love will not last,
coz the fans insist it's not canon.
A princess and a demon,
Now that draws a fine line.
One they can't cross
because we'd need to know which time line.
I never drive faster than I can see. Besides, it's all in the reflexes.
@Maxz dunno! English is not my first language, and to be frank syllable counting is more of a mess in English than in Spanish, so I can't be bothered to memorize that.
You are the Tiki to my Waifu May we be together for a manakete's laifu For our love burns bright like a Fire Emblem Now, together let's ride to the stadium
Decided to go with rhyming, hard to find something for Emblem though. (Thinking of the arena for stadium )
Ah, thought of a better version.
You are the Tiki to my Waifu May we be together for a manakete's laifu For our love burns brighter than an Emblem of Fire We shall fight though the situation looks dire-
@Meowpheel: I'm assuming the syllable calculator has problems with names that aren't true English words, like many Pokemon names (as mentioned above). English is a messy language, many EFL speakers don't even use it properly. XD
@BLP_Software: It's been awhile since I've had soda burn up my nose lol. Loved it!
@Maxz: I decided to interpret "awful" a bit differently. Glad that you liked it! I was going to post something short and goofy before rethinking my approach.
The original, cheesy version:
I had ten hearts,
Cuccos took nine.
I have one heart left;
Will you be mine?
