I don't get it. Did someone die? I can't write this second. My DS is low on battery and we are cleaning our house.

Yes, it's a mourning song.

[MatthiasMan]

Oh, that would explain a lot. I'm having a writing block.

A nonesense marching song

Let me sing of a day in spring,
I was under a badger lord,
Around my waist there was a sling,
We went to fight a rat horde.
Well wadya know, there was a crow!

There was loads of vermin round,
My comrads charged,
Most of them were drowned.
My stumach was enlarged.
Well wadya know, the blinking foe!

The rats they killed my companions,
Oh no! They hurt my knee,
And in the canyons,
For my life I was asked to plea,
Well wadya know, those vermin went whoa!

I whacked a rat,
He had teeth of three
Boy, he was fat.
So he killed me.
Well wadya know, I was too slow!

So many great songs so far! Lots of talented people here.  Maybe this would fit better in the Fanworks section.

Many a fine summer's day
By the brook we would play
We would wrestle, an' tussle, an' sport
And then mother would say
Ye boys turn me fur gray!
Ye both must now come home from yer war.

An' me brother was a lad
Who were big, strong and glad
He were handsome, he were honest, he were smart.
But when the enemy came
The lads all were the same
An' they prayed they'd come home from the war.

They went marchin' away
In their uniforms gray
Their swords polished, an' spitshined so bright.
Mother cried all that day
Father knelt down to pray
That me brother'd come home from the war.

Two years they did pass
But so long did they last
The days long, an' tired, an' sore.
Then one winter's day
Under skies clouded gray
Came the boys marchin' home from the war.

They kept strict measured pace
An' I searched for his face
As I looked, my heart it did fall
For they bore him behind
On a cart, he did lie
So came my brother back home from the war.


That's a little sad one I came up with recently.  Idk if its any good.

[W0NWILL]

lol, Wonwill, I love that.

Thanks!

A theif's Song

Hello there matey,
What a pretty ring,
I'll take that for me.
Hoho, that's fair weighty.
Don't you go peking,
I'll nip back home for tea.
Thank you, and goodbye!

That's a little sad one I came up with recently.  Idk if its any good.

Right now, no one is the winner, you're all too good!

  Shadow Wildfire

  There once was a cat named Shadow
 On whose brow was Wildfire,
 She was the daughter of a cat
 Who was a powerful sire.

 But Shadow grew tired of that life
 She ran away from home,
 She found a place called Mossflower Woods,
 And there she decided to roam.

 She came across an Abbey
 By the name of Redwall,
 There she found many friends
 As she wandered 'round the halls.

 Shadow found she loved this place,
 Much better to stay than roam.
 And after staying for a feast
 She decided to call this home.

It took you that long? Wow, I guess I write faster than I ever knew. I like haiku's.

Rose

A pink flower sways,
The sun fills it, energy,
Beauty for nature.

Emerald Hury

(Slow)
Emerald Hury,
A young mouse he was,
Wandered from nowhere,
No place to go caauuuuuuusse!

(Faster)
An orphaned mouse,
Living in woods,
Tattered clothes,
Could find no goods.
He built a weapon,
Made of oak,
A cannibal,
But had a stroke,

A cannibals life for Hury!

He could survive,
Anything,
From hard cold winter,
To cuts and stings.
To survive alone,
He had wander,
Away from home,
Which was very back yondeeeeeerrrr!

A cannibals life for Hury!

Ambushed one night,
By some stoats,
With a near river,
Threw them on boats.
The carcasses,
Smelled so much,
He ate them all,
For breakfast and brruuuuuuunnnch!

A cannibals life for Hury!

(Slow and sad)
But poor old Emerald,
One day died,
Another mouse,
Found im' and cried.
When her teardrops fell off,
Her light brown face,
And landed on Hury,
He winced and his heart raaaaaaaced!

(Fast and happy)
So when Hury woke up,
And saw the pretty mouse,
He thought she was beautiful,
And made the mouse his spouse! Hey!

  The Mighty Pen

 A pen is a mighty weapon,
 Mightier than the sword.
 With a pen you make anything happen,
 But a sword can just take out a horde.

That's really good! You have good sense of pace and rhyme.  Plus it was an entertaining concept

 Fairytales can come true,
 If you dream they might for you!

Well I do play the trumpet and I listen to music all the time. Plus, I always make up random words in poems sometimes. Like so. . .

Fiddeleerow,
I'm a mouse,
Fiddeleedee,
I live in a house,
I am an artist,
Ryshdidysh,
I am a poet,
Gergifysh.
Now these words,
Mean no thing,
Just made up,
To have a ring,
Britynu,
Expotrue,
Fliasrie,
Another day!

See?

MM, the cannibal thing is hilarious.

[MatthiasMan]

Hehehe. It's kinda bad. It only took me a couple minutes. Thank you.

  River Cat

  A cat swam down a river,
 Or so it has been told,
 Then it jumped out of the water
 Because the water was cold.
