Thanks to autinbrony, for "Poetry".
Thanks to dalegibson1978, for "Sparta".
Thanks to inkscaled, for "God Romance". Oh Zeus... Always changing into animals before trying to find a mortal to mate with...


So, fun fact about Poetry, I dabble a bit. So with my Impetus D&D campaign I grabbed stanzas from "Dolores," subtitled "Notre-Dame des Sept Douleurs", is a poem by A. C. Swinburne first published in his 1866 Poems and Ballads. and used them as intros for each campaign act, just some flavor text, like they sometimes do in stories, that act as a foreboding summary or sorts.
Well, during that time I did a few one-off campaigns, and taking from Dolores, also know as "The Lady of Pain", wouldn't so, so I wrote my own stanzas in the same fashion as "Dolores" (rhyme scheme, and sorta beat pattern), but my own words. The one used in Poetry above is the first half of a stanza I wrote for an abduction ghost house adventure:


My life is in her mind, an imaginary friend.
Choices I’ve made becoming bonds that bind us all.
Forever we experience, never writing the end
Never knowing when we jump if we will fall.
I see the moon behind me, casting my shadow
Hiding the faults that I simply ignore
I try to forget, but forever I will know


That she waits
Behind the door.
