[A/N: The first 20 or so poems are OLD poems that I wrote when I was younger. You can skip to the more recent ones if you want to see a better example of my more current work.]




Alright, so I didn't come up with this one entirely on my own. My friends and I were chatting and going crazy, talking in Shakespearean and pretending to be enjoying several drinks (hey don't judge) and I started chanting and rhyming because, hey, that's what happens when you talk in Shakespearean. Anyways, they helped and here is the final product:

Fear shall be our only drink
Terror we consume.
From death itself we shall not shrink,
But singest yet of doom.

We drinkest like the truest men
Like true men we drink.
Raise our glasses, drink again,
Raise again and drink.

We drinkest to a better day;
A day of friends and peace.
And though hard be our current day,
To future days we feast.

With merry hearts we shall rejoice
For soon comes victory.
We cry out with one hearty voice,
"Here falls our enemy!"
