------------------------

my cash is a plenty but I'll tell you much more
my turns are four fifty and my land is galore
my troops are as happy as a rooster with hens
yes that is all so thank you my friends

"Oh Warlords"

Oh Warlords
Oh Warlords

How greatly you have fought
You have made up a plot

Oh Warlords
Oh Warlords

The Squires have taught
And now they will not

Oh Warlords
Oh Warlords

The cats have gone wild
fox's hiding stockpiles
lizards walls are fortified
stoats academy their decsiples
the rats provide emperors with a title
marten goldmine's are also vital
for wolves protect it from the rivals
like ferrets fighting for survival
there's painted magpies upon horizons

-Sevz

Second Runner Up:
Winner of $5 billion cash


An army marches through the snow
Northlands is where they go
Led by a fox whose networth is small
They soon shall uncloak and then conquer all
While a stoat plots to steal his loot
And a rat plans to make him taste his boot
While raiders are prepared on one side
Defenses are raised like a strong tide
A war soon starts until some fall
2 billion networth burned in all
The poor army marches as they trudge through snow
Just bought off the market, now not knowing where they go.

First Runner Up:
Winner of $10 billion cash and 1 billion food


Don't know how to play
3 per cent of army gone
Face, meet keyboard now.

-Ashyra Nightwing

Grand Prize:
Winner of $25 billion cash, 5 billion food


Stumbling, the foolhardy warlord
Brandishes his army like a flailing club
Only to be crushed like a leaf.

Clever, the cunning warlord
Slinks silently through hill and plain
Yet once caught is matched by anybeast.

Benevolent, the peaceful warlord
Reigns o'er bloodless lands
But he will never know glory.

Powerful, the feared warlord
Is a towering mighty tree
And thousands, in hushed breath, tell his story.

-Calisto

I'm jumping for joy
Ten billion will help me
no more 3 per cents

Hahahahahahaha no way, 10 billion dollas for the glorious war effort


Thanks Shael, this is fantastic. I was totally going to do more RWL haikus but I never got round to it.  Maybe one day. One day soon.

[Kilkenne]

I feel like I should have written a poem now. But it would have paled in comparison to that haiku.

[Dark Claws]

Third place, not bad. If I put in more effort, could've been better. I'l settle for 5 billion though.

[Shadow]

I wrote a poem for volky.

Should not have had beer:
3 percent of my army gone;
twenty-seven times.

[Kilkenne]

no desertions guys
my troops did not leave me jerks
I marketed them

[Gen. Volkov]

Bad haiku Shadow, you have 8 syllables in the second line.

Anyway, poem for Shadow, and Holby:

i let my shields lapse
like an idiot, then volk
destroyed my army

Don't know how to play
3 per cent of army gone
Face, meet keyboard now.

What was the purpose of those posts?

[Dark Claws]

Yeah, and why did you leave my name out of them! I won a prize!

[abartell]

bye accident i was trying to think of something witty to say but being myself I failed and accidentally sent it but my computer screwed up and sent two different times

[Shadow]

I removed the first one for you. Feel free to edit the second.

[Dark Claws]

How can a computer double post? I never understood that.
