Contest [Issue 28] Halloween Poetry

[IronElves 980]

If Only If only

 

Halloween, blood gurgling scream
Little children run and hide
M3 rail and m3 hornet

that make you scream

Haunted map, a shredded blouse
A hacker in the back
Graveyard love, vampire's blood
Can make this night seem so hard,yes it could

Halloween, enchanted scene
A night filled with railgun screams
people dieing when the spawn in
There is no room for error

Rotten eggs, a loner begs
"Please don't use your m3 rail"
Pranksters prey and run away
from that scary old m3 that will eat you on your birthday

Halloween, big paints of green
Tanki screams,
Ghosts say "Boo" and Mom warns you
"Don't use the credit card"or I will ban you

Trick or treat, a m1 shaft
Also calories galore
Get off track and before i snipe you
Maybe you will get some more if you do

Halloween, number thirteen
A night of rails and fails
Pumpkin patches, killing snatchers
And a Jack-O-Lantern host

Pitch black night, kids filled with fright
Enchanting and scary railgun fight
A full round will make them brag
And long for next Halloween...

 

 

 

 

I hope to be third place or get 5k

TANKI is a good and funny game,

with a lot experience to gain.

I've got a lot of new ranks.

I've learnt a lot about the tanks.

 

These days...!It is Halloween;

I can learn you how to win!

...The best time of the year,

full of fun and fear!

 

I think that Halloween is very cool!

Every step I take I see a ghoul.

Everywhere...There are too many wolves!

They frighten you in order not to think about your next moves.

In the new map,there are billion ghosts!

When I‘ve tried to count them,I didn't do it;I got lost.

 

There is Halloween these days,

we can party in many ways:

 

We have a new map

that makes you wanna get a nap,

because it‘s very dark.

 

We have a new painting

that never gives you the feeling of failing.

It‘s not like black or white.

It can always make you win the fight.

 

We have also many deals

that make you buy a lot of things:

 

I managed to buy all the guns.

I was too happy...So,I danced!

I also bought all the hulls,

which i considered not use.

I just bought all these,as they were cheaper

and Ialso bought some colours,such as Mary and Fiber!

 

ChrisTkiller is my name

and I hope to gain the fame.

I'm not adult,I'm a teen,

but I have many hopes to win.

I hope to like my song,

even if it's not too long.

Welcome, readers! Do you think you're able to manipulate language and structure in the fashion of a skilled poet? Can you craft a poem which is involving, sophisticated and original? If so. this contest is for you!

 

The task.

 

Write any sort of poem you want to. The only requirement is that it has to be related to both Tanki Online and Halloween. Poems that do not meet this requirement will not have a good chance of success.

 

The criteria.

 

- Quality of writing: How well is your poem written (in terms of language choices and themes)? Are there any grammatical errors? 

- Originality: Is there a unique idea or theme to your poem? Getting your entry in earlier may help in this respect!

- Structure: You can structure your poem in any way you wish to, but the best poems will have an organised and coherent layout!

 

The example.

 

This is a poem which I submitted for a similar contest held exactly a year ago, when I was not a Reporter:

The Halloween Gold.

My friend, aurum potestas est,

Gold is power; but also much more,

A moment of chaos, a frenzied contest,

/////////   A dismissal of trivial score.  \\\\\\\\\

/////////                                                 \\\\\\\\\

/////////        A blood-chilling shriek,         \\\\\\\\\

/////////           The siren of hope!            \\\\\\\\\

/////////             Agile and sleek,            \\\\\\\\\

/////////       I charge down a slope…      \\\\\\\\\

 

Eluding a Freeze,

I weave through its domain,

Dodging with ease,

Victims bound in icy chains…

Up above! I suddenly start,

But too late; I hear a whine,

My wretched tank blasts apart,

A moment frozen in time. 

               

 

The reward.

 

1st place: 30,000 crystals.

2nd place: 20,000 crystals.

3rd place: 10,000 crystals.

 

Any other entries which are worthy of note may receive small consolation prizes of 5,000 crystals each.

 

Post your entries in this topic - you can ask me any questions related to this contest through PM. The deadline is the end of 21st November. Start writing!

Good

Amidst the Ghost Tanks

 

Oh, the tanks of the world,

Stop making the map twirled,

There are only freaks around,

And also their pound,

 

 

As the railgun shot haunts me,

I pay death as the fee...,

When the firebird burns thee,

He also kills me,

 

Who killed him?,

"Me" said the grim,

Frozen like a Statue,

While eating my cashew,

 

Such an injury!,

The taste was so gingery,

That punch hit two!,

When we were stuck with glue,

 

Ahhh, such a nice heal,

With such a nice feel,

Are they two?,

Or are they a crew?,

 

That ball bounced of a wall!,

And I am so tall!

I am a dictator,

And I kill at the equator.

 

I am the sound of the storm,

My team never swarms,

Swift and Agile,

I am not fragile...

Round the Golden Cauldron!

By: Wishtaker97

 

 

Round about the cauldron go;
In the poison’d entrails throw.
Toad, that under cold stone
Days and nights hast thirty one
Swelter’d venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i’ the charmed pot.

Double, double toil and trouble;
Firebird burn and cauldron bubble.

Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of wasp, and toe of freeze,
Wool of mammoth, and tongue of twins,
Adder’s fork, and blind-worm’s sting,
Isida’s leg, and hornet’s wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

Double, double toil and trouble;
Firebird burn and cauldron bubble.

Scale of Gold, tooth of mines,    
Witches’ mummy, maw and gulf    
Of the ravin’d salt-sea thunder,    
Root of hemlock digg’d i’ the dark,    
Liver of blaspheming Freeze,    
Gall of titan, and slips of yew    
Sliver’d in the moon’s eclipse,    
Nose of Turk, and Tartar’s lips,    
Finger of birth-strangled babe    
Ditch-deliver’d by a drab,    
Make the gruel thick and slab:    
Add thereto a tiger’s chaudron,    
For the ingredients of our cauldron.

Double, double toil and trouble;
Firebird burn and cauldron bubble.

Thunder

I can hear this thunder, oh what a sound,
For me a new weapon, that I have just found.
I surely didn’t know what I have been missing,
This awesome weapon that others are dissing.

Thank you Devil  for granting me this gun

I am sure the others will have a great time with me and my thunder
So I say thank you devil for this wonderful gift 
I am so greatful for the halloween discount
To part with my money, it was a hard choice .

...But I came round and Bought the devil gun >:)

For all the other tanks with ranks much higher,
I look forward to the battle, shooting great Tanks of Tanki
I will come to an end by saying,
Please TANKI can we have another Devily Discount

A Halloween Night

by Destroyiah

 

Once upon a night,

which gave all of a fright,

a band of tanks gathered,

to sum up all their might.

 

Upon this night there may lay some gold,

but the tankers were cold,

​at the thought of acting bold.

Who would take it?, 

on Halloween Night,

for the spectator chanted,

'let them fight!'

 

But on Halloween Night,

tankers will stand tall,

against the harsh moonlight,

of Halloween's Fall.

 

Time was running short,

for they were approaching the fort.

Time was crawling,

as night was falling.

 

During all this,

there was not but one tanker,

who cranked the Smokey tight,

for he would be the one,

who owned the fight.

 

Then the Box fell,

as tanks went under a spell.

So all went into the misty peril,

as the Box fell through the Smokey barrel.

 

So on Halloween Night,

tanks will stand tall,

against the harsh moonlight,

of Halloween's Fall.

[Balancer_hj 48]

This is Halloween

The darkness comes from deep inside,
It creeps up out of your dark side.

Thunders and firebirds run the night,

Smoky and Shafts hide from the light.

Railgunners smile and see their prey,

Everybody come on Tanki Online and play.

My favorite night of all the gear,

Knowing I have nothing to fear.

As we hear the siren sound,

Tankers play like crazy hound.

Everyone rush to the “gold” with airspeed,

But the box is a double speed.

Then the tankers watch a pumpkin fall,

They know this is the final call.

I put on my mask and charge for the Gold,

But my finger is slow and I’m getting old.

My brain is working very slow,

There’s just one thing I need to know.

Gold!!! Gold!!! -------------->>> ...

Golden Pumkin

 

On that one spooky day, the scarriest of all

those tankers saw Gold Box is about to fall

they added their sheilds and nitro as well

for they were expecting no less than hell

 

But werent they suprised when they saw not a gold box

but a great pumkin falling down on those rocks

within a moment they had all rushed in

but it was already taken by a hornet with twins

 

but on the side of the pumkin they would all see

not one thousand  but an astonishing three

they all played longer and harder that day 

for they all wanted to say I got a Gold pumkin and it made my day!

 

on halloween night with a new special map

you wouldnt have caught me taking a nap

i was busy hunting for gold

waiting and waiting till the night grew old

 

when one finnaly came i rushed out to greet it

and met with a ghost when i fell into a pit

i missed the gold i felt i would have had

and for the rest of the week i was very sad

 

 

 

 

i made this up as i was going

Each nose is twitching, excitement is itching

Bats in our belfry are shy 

The hour of witching is rather bewitching

Halloween will soon pass us by

 

Jack-o-lanterns eyes so bright

Tanks and players scream in fright

It’s a time like you’ve never seen

Tonight’s the night of Halloween.

 

The developers take their photoshop knives 

And carves the yellow pumpkin face,

Ghosts on the hill, and a fullmoon night

This is why halloween attracts the crowd 

 

Semyon with his clown face up, 

giving the viewers a warm welcome,

sticks and stones may break your heart,

but vlog 20 certainly did not!

[schinniple 1]

Save your tanks before it's to late!

While the Railguns and Shafts decide to give you the fright!

Get out the drugs so he can't destroy you.

To late he got out drugs too!

 

 

Get those flag captures so your team doesn't lose.

Try not to let the Shafts give you all the boos.

 

There was that Isida who didn't care for you.

So what do you do?

Try not to lose health... Like a ghost, use stealth!

And if you lose health, and buy health packs.

Be careful your crystals won't be of much wealth!

nice check mine out, pg 4, is it good?

Halloween Battles

The wind blusters.

It sweeps through the desolate battle ground

The battle ground off

Halloween.

With graceful strides

The Freeze adds chill to the air.

Thunder cracks.

With the image off glory imprinted in it’s mind.

Adrenaline courses through the tanks fuel lines.

For what are these tanks fighting for?

For the bragging rights on Halloween Night.

The night breeze

makes the

Jack O'Lantern's light flicker.

Marking the flag that is so closely guarded.

Roaring inferno of flames consume tank after tank.

Without heed.

New victors names shall be inscribed on the dark

stone walls of fame.

All in the name of

the Crystals that drive

Tanks forwards.

Tank or Treat

By: Scarrock

 

 

 

The tanks move slowly through the night.

The sound of ghouls, such a fright.

The tankers realize in a delight

It's time for Tank or Treat

 

The eerie darkness fills the night

 See only by the railgun's light

Everyone around you fights

It's time for Tank or Treat

 

Jack-o'-lantern's on the flag

Holiday paint full of bats.

3 millennium of crystals in one box.

It's time for Tank or Treat,

 

A new map arrives,

Tank after tank dies.

Anxiousness is on a rise,

It's time for Tank or Treat.

 

Here a cry, get some too.

The ghosts among the trees say boo.

I'll get a Fort Knox box will you?

It's time for Tank or Treat.

 

The sparks in the air, Isida's flying,

Bounce off the walls, Rico's are dying.

Oh yes it is so don't deny it,

It's time for Tank or Treat.

 

The sound of tanks rumbling by,

The snipers hide far out of sight.

Their movements identical, Twins zoom across the bridge,

It's time for Tank or Treat

 

Tanks wander the foreign land,

Two fire birds walk hand in hand.

AFK, A freeze sits still in the night.

It's time for Tank or Treat

 

We all hope that the pumpkin falls,

Not pyrite but real, and full of awe.

With such a grace, the pumpkin falls,

It's time for Tank or Treat

 

I defend, I attack I heal my team,

But in the end what does it mean?

All we know for now is one thing.

It's time for Tank or Treat

It's time for Tank or Treat.

It's time for Tank or...

llllllllllllllllllllHALLOWEEN 31ST  OCTOBER 2014llllllllllllllllllll

llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

----------Halloween 31st October is the night of a blood chilling war.----------

It was a night when death surrounded me, I could feel a strong presence.

His force was wrapped around me, pulling me towards his tank.

He sneaked around the deserted battle field, waiting for me to duel, so I courageously joined him on the field, on this October 31st tour.

 

\\\\\\\\\\ Fire blasted out of his ghastly weapon, while ice blew out of mine //////////

And no one could ever tell with such high zest, what really happened next.

\\\\\\\\\\ I burnt to death, while he froze to death, but only one apponent won! //////////

 

It isn't something a right mind would dare speak of, but I think people need to know about what happened next...

After threatening me to change equipment, I did as I was told immediately and so I was a buzzing isida and a strong titan, while he was a defensive mammoth and a deadly shaft.

At this sight, a cold, grey, searing pain flashed through my body.

 

CRACK, his shaft arcaded me as BUZZ, my isida fizzed him from behind and his shaft took too long to turn, but then he sniped Me just in time. We were both on zero health. One strike from either of us, and we were both dead immediately!

Icy sweat ran down my warm head.

I slowly went behind him once more and striked my isida. BANG, his mammoth rolled over in a huge shock...

GAME OVER

 

Death had been given a terrible day, but I was glad to say:

 

:) I had won the great battle! :)

The energy crackles around me ,

The bolts flash above me,
Oh my tank sings in return ,
My Rico , oh Rico , firing astern,
As I zig and I zag through never ending flame,
I feel a dark dread creep into the enemy,
And I feel triumph rain ,
But then I turn my turret around ,
And scream and shoot at the horror that crept,
Without a sound...

              Halloween Gold

There once was a tank who liked gold

His tactics began to get old

Tried as he might

In the absence of light

The tanker could not get a gold.

 

He tried every battle

But every time he got rattled

He tried every hull

But soon this became dull

He could not find the right Halloween battle.

 

Once more he must try

Server restart is nigh!

A siren, a message, his hopes are high

He sees the gold fall, from high in the sky

He charges forward as tanks drive by.

He jumps a rail, he climbs over a mammy

For this tanker's plan was diabolically canny

He pushs a freeze he kills a fire

For in him he had a great desire

A shaft has shot him through the air

The Gold's drop spot is remarkably bare

And finally, as the day became old

The Tanker, finally got his gold.
