| Yep. This poem's been on two other forums, so might as well share it here.
[Poem's about a Neopets character. However, don't dismiss it solely because of that and at least give it a chance. Mein first real attempt at poetry]
3 A riddle unsolved clutched in my hand As I walk across the cursed land Of which Neopians have named the Haunted Woods.
6 My reason of coming was so I could Tell a Kacheek this riddle and hope he would Give me the answer so that I may obtain goods.
9 But all was not well in this treacherous quest As I work my way back to my home needing rest To the place where my faithful Lupe solemnly slumbered
12 The moans of creatures surrounded me My cautious self eyeing each passing tree In hopes that a beast would not make my days numbered
15 How did I get here? A question indeed For through the woods my light did lead Me with a trail that gave me little sight.
18 Going down roads that twist and wind Soon my conscious did remind Me of how this situation came to light.
21 A riddle for Neopoints I thought I’d solve easily A solution I thought I could get effortlessly But soon my frustration grew and my hopes went
24 While I sat beneath a large tree An Ixi in a hood had approached me And told me of one who could help my predicament
27 “A riddle most difficult, you mourn in the shade A Kacheek you can see named Eliv Thade Shall give you your answer if you go to his domain!”
30 The name he stated I had never heard But the stranger said I had his word And that I had nothing to lose and all to gain
33 Agreeing to see this keen Kacheek Soon a conversation we began to speak And I asked for the location of his abode
36 The stranger handed me a map Before walking under the tree to nap Telling me “Never stray off the given road”
39 Onward on my quest I went Soon entering dark woods with bent Trees that gave an ominous gloomy aura
42 I felt a great chill in the air With the feeling of troubled souls in despair Floating around me in an unseen plethora
45 “Abandon all hope, ye who enter” I said half jokingly to regain my center Of thought to keep myself calm and steady
48 Through the darkened woods I trekked Soon coming upon a mansion wrecked And falling apart it seemed it was ready
51 I knocked on the door, two taps of my fist “Something here seems gravely amidst” I commented as the door opened slowly
54 Slowly I stepped into the room An eerie sense of certain doom Overcame me as a voice bellowed in a tone quite lowly
57 “Who dares enter my domain? A foolish mortal, nonetheless humane Who wishes to disturb my restless spectre!”
60 “I had come here to you with a request But I do not wish to ruin your rest So I will leave you and not play inspector…”
63 Soon lightning struck from behind A figure which made me hope I was blind And only imagining seeing his monstrous face
66 “You shall not leave my house. Instead You will play my game and soon be dead Before you put the items in their place!”
69 With his words he had vanished away Preventing me from getting my say But the door from behind shut before I could leave
72 “I have no choice, I must play. Alright, I think I shall go this way.” I said as I began to roll up my sleeve
75 A door to my left I soon did see With letters inked in blood before me Which were in no order and strangely blocked the path
78 “Solve my anagram to move on But if you fail and spell it wrong Then you shall face my fearsome undying wrath!”
81 Looking at the letters confusingly scrambled I thought to myself and foolishly rambled Unable to solve the strange word they hid.
84 “Not quite sharp, that’s quite a shame. You won’t last long in this harsh game!” He said as sharp spikes rose to show he did not kid.
87 Slightly scared but still unharmed The letters changed and I looked alarmed Until I saw the word I believed was right
90 “Is the word you want me to say ‘Eyrie’?” As I said this, the door most dreary Opened up and now I could see with my light.
93 My soul growing stronger as I went through trials Answering anagrams and moving along tiles When suddenly the floor beneath me gave way.
96 I held the only grip there was A plumbing pipe sticking out because The old house had begun to rot and decay.
99 Quickly I scrambled to my feet Feeling the speed my heart did beat Serving me a warning to not stand on cracked ground
102 Soon I had worked my way Most likely to the Kacheek’s dismay To all the items I needed and turned around
105 At the door to his ghostly crypt He had for me the hardest to decrypt Of anagrams which spanned a horrible nine letters long
108 “Oh I don’t think you’ll solve this one. For the hardest I’ve saved for those who’ve run All throughout my home just to die wrong!”
111 My heart had stopped; he had me now My body ached and my stomach did growl In hunger pains I could take no more
114 That’s when it struck! The answer did come “A literature reference, quite classic, good chum. For now I shall quote the raven: Nevermore.”
117 A frustrated yell filled the air As his face now bared an evil glare Which pierced through my very soul with hate
120 “How can this be?! You can’t be right! No one will be escaping tonight For now I will achieve my checkmate!”
123 Quickly the Kacheek had ran and charged Rushing through the door he barged In his hand an inkless fountain pen
126 “Sorry good sir, but I’ve had enough You’re anagrams and puzzles were all tough. And now I will make you rest again!”
129 The artifacts I held shot a powerful blast Which sent him flying back quite fast And back into his crypt I quickly locked him in
132 I quickly ran to the open front door To the outside world I was once more Back to the woods where I escaped the castle most grim
135 Through the woods I dashed, the castle now distant The pains I suffered I grew resistant In hopes I would safely return to my place
138 Back at my home, I saw the Ixi Hooded and smiling, I got to him quickly Demanding an explanation now and post haste
141 “Found Eliv Thade and didn’t die. I honestly admit I won’t ask why But rather I’ll tell you the truth that I had not told you.”
144 With that he said he told me of the Kacheek’s bane A riddle that had driven Thade insane Explaining the story definitively and through
147 Now I sit down at my home place Gazing upon the stars in space Looking back at how I got involved
150 “Mr. Thade had tried to kill me But I do give him my deep sympathy For I hope one day the riddle will be solved.”
-End.
