    Default Ballad writing.

    Onrpg, please help me
    as I am in need for a poem
    See, my English class is making me write a ballad.
    I do not know any moments in my life that are valid.
    I was going to write about the World.. of warcraft.

    **** this.

    I need an idea for a ballad, I was going to write one about shamans

    "I am a shaman, lord of flames
    I rise without shame
    As the drums of war rings
    Shamelessly, the horde
    Sharpens their blood drenched swords

    I am a shaman, lord of ice
    It isn't very nice..."

    Then my mind went :[

    And then I was like.. "The whole class would think I'm a nerd."

    I would turn this in, as it is better then nothing,
    but I cant rhyme it any more.

    Help me complete it please.

    Ballads tell stories, so i would suggest not describing yourself. Try this.

    "Across the jungle,
    across the plain
    crossing the desert
    I am: the lord of flame

    Here comes your elf mohawk
    I'm ready for a fight
    you draw your mighty sword
    I am: The lord of ice.

    My weapon is now drawn
    Get ready for plunder
    Prepare yourself because
    I am: Lord of Thunder

    You attack first
    A your great sword rammin'
    I chop off your head
    Because I am a shaman.

    The Battle is over
    I have cleary won
    I take your head with me
    To prove what I've done.

    Ok I don't know much about World of Warcraft but this is what I've gathered from random things and what you have posted. (Is there a lord of thunder??)

    I decided not to turn anything in, I don't wanna look like a nerd, and I don't like getting personal.

    Homework is weighted less then shit on my grading scale, it's going to take more then that to kill my ace.

    I feel some guilt in it though..

    I was going to make up a ballad for you but Purple Coffing's siggy with batman and mcdonalds is too distracting xD Also you already decided to not turn it in, but just find something on your desk and write about it. Noone will think you're a nerd if you write about a pen or something :/ I usually write about nature because it's easy =]

    do a ballad about a guy who puts superglue on his hands and face then glues himself to the window of a womens gym so he can stare all day long at women wearing those thongs that go right up their cracks.

    its a spiritual masterpiece.

    :edit: or you could use this for inspiration lol (person who said goth made me think of this)
