Yup...I decided to make a lemming poem B)|8):

Moving out the trapdoor,
A sea of long green hair,
They come out more and more,
Blue costumes everywhere

Moving without a sound,
Across the grainy sand,
As their feet touch the ground,
They dig down through the land

Falling from the great height,,
Each goes their sperate way,
Some go left, some go right,
Every click they must obey

Now the end's just ahead,
Some turn and hit a wall,
And are just left for dead,
Next time I'll save them all

It's pretty good. I like the first part best

naval lemmings

a shipfull of lemmings?
this could be bad.
"away from the water,into the harbor"
they all say...
a ship going out of harbor,
and another going in..

KLUNK!!!!
what was that?!
i don't know but i think we should panic!
two ships colliding...
whaddaya expect, they're only lemmings.
"we can't help it if were stupid, were lemmings!!
shouted one.
the ships sunk into the harbor.

wump!!
"huh? we stopped sinking?"
"we've landed on the ruins of another ship?"
"that sunk in the harbor a long time ago?"
YEA!!!!!
...................
........now what?

AHHHH!
we're stuck in the harbor!!
"wait i've got an idea!!"
"really you do?"
"if we throw enough lemmings in the water,
it'll make a brigde of lemmings!!"
sploosh!sploosh!splash!
"WAIT!!i've got an easier idea!!"
"we can all use our builder skill!!"
so they all built a bridge.
and got onto shore.
except for the three,
that were chucked in the water.

.......so whaddaya think?

No offense dumb_lem, but if that even is a poem, it certianly doesn't sound like one.

G3K · « **Reply #5 on:** July 10, 2004, 02:28:33 PM »

A haiku, why not.

Dig down, dig quickly
Oh crap it's Armageddon
4, 3, 2, 1, 'splode

And yes, I know the countdown starts from five, but it wouldn't be a haiku then, would it?

Mr. K · « **Reply #6 on:** July 10, 2004, 06:32:11 PM »

I like these poems, except dumb lem's. That wasn't even a poem. Good work! If I were better at writing poems, I would do one too.

tumble_weed · « **Reply #7 on:** July 12, 2004, 12:06:21 AM »

oh and dumb_lem's poem is a poem...it's just freeform

Andi · « **Reply #8 on:** July 12, 2004, 05:50:20 PM »

Yeah. Dumb_lems poem is one. When I have a free brain I could do the stuff on the poem I did in this year in school with poems. Only this time in english. It'll be a nice practice.

DragonsLover · « **Reply #9 on:** July 12, 2004, 09:31:39 PM »

Lemmings are my little friends
I want them up in my hands
They bash threw each dirty wall
And I hope that they'll not fall

Luckely, they are all floaters
They land correctly on the gra.ss
Then I turn them all miners
And I want to kick their....... huh, forget this!

Finally they find the exit
I heared a lot of word "Yippie!"
It's over so I'm happy
And I still want to play a little bit

That's cool! &#A0;B)

EDIT: I dislike that the forum do not accept the words with "a.ss" inside. Like gra.ss, pa.ss...

Andi · « **Reply #10 on:** July 12, 2004, 09:39:31 PM »

Another reason why we should delete the censor list... Anway, very cool! B)

chaos_defrost · « **Reply #11 on:** July 12, 2004, 11:54:27 PM »

Look at the lemming.
Climbing, Floating, and bashing.
Oops. Exploded it.

~Haiku written by Insane Steve in about 35 seconds

:Di like it!!that's funny!

(mine wasn't meant to rhyme)

tumble_weed · « **Reply #13 on:** July 13, 2004, 05:16:30 AM »

Solution Poetry!!

Level One-Just Dig
10 Lemmings land on the ground
Dig down through the dirt

DragonsLover · « **Reply #14 on:** July 13, 2004, 07:27:48 PM »

Here are 8 haikus on tools:

First tool is climbers
With this, Lemmings will go up
On any flat wall

Second is floaters
With this, Lemmings do not crash
They land perfectly

Third tool is bombers
Chosen lemming will pop up
And will make a hole

Fourth tool is blockers
A lemming will block others
And it will not move

Fifth tool is builders
A lot of steps makes a stair
And lemmings can pass

Sixth tool is bashers
Lemmings can pass threw a wall
In the small tunnel

Seventh is miners
With a pick a lemming dig
Diagonnally

Finally diggers
Lemmings can dig threw the ground
And make a big hole

Lemika · « **Reply #15 on:** July 16, 2004, 01:53:57 PM »

Those are all good

chaos_defrost · « **Reply #16 on:** July 16, 2004, 06:01:34 PM »

Mayhem 24...
Just bash left, then right, then left.
What were they thinking?

"They", of course, referring to the game developers who placed that level so late in the game.

And this one only took me 22 seconds. I can write a haiku on almost anything in under a minute.

tumble_weed · « **Reply #17 on:** July 18, 2004, 02:24:10 PM »

Insane Steve's haikus:
It only takes one minuite
to write one of those

namida · « **Reply #18 on:** July 19, 2004, 06:02:30 AM »

Mayhem 29...
What were they thinking with this?
It's true insanity.

chaos_defrost · « **Reply #19 on:** July 20, 2004, 05:16:31 AM »

Steaver's haiku's flawed:
the last line isn't correct
with six syllables.

This one took me about 45 seconds.

DragonsLover · « **Reply #20 on:** July 21, 2004, 03:38:17 AM »

It doesn't matter
If there are some small mistakes
In these haikus

Ten seconds!

Ice_Eagle91 · « **Reply #21 on:** July 21, 2004, 07:22:37 AM »

Taxing 15...
The level design is great...
It is very AWESOME.

Took 15 seconds.

Lemeri · « **Reply #22 on:** July 21, 2004, 03:23:41 PM »

I think your haiku is flawed too.

chaos_defrost · « **Reply #23 on:** July 21, 2004, 03:30:16 PM »

One more syllable
is needed in the first line;
one less in the last.

22 seconds.

HAIKU FORM:

[5 syllables]
[7 syllables]
[5 syllables]

namida · « **Reply #24 on:** July 22, 2004, 04:31:58 AM »

Taxing 11
Could have given more time there
There is just enough

About 30 seconds. ^_^

DragonsLover · « **Reply #25 on:** July 23, 2004, 09:51:20 PM »

I like all lemmings
They are cute, they are funny
I really like them

Liebatron · « **Reply #26 on:** August 20, 2004, 01:38:10 AM »

that'sgood ,I like it. there's one big roadblock stopping me from writing a haiku. i have no idea what the requirements for a poem to be a haiku are.

Ice_Eagle91 · « **Reply #27 on:** August 20, 2004, 01:41:45 AM »

A haiku contains three lines.

The first has five syllables, the second has seven, and the third had five.

Thanks to G3K!

Liebatron · « **Reply #28 on:** August 20, 2004, 03:27:19 AM »

ok thanks.

this is not that hard
haikus are really easy
they are fun to do

25 seconds

DragonsLover · « **Reply #29 on:** August 25, 2004, 01:30:28 AM »

A mistake: Second line have 8 syllables... X_X

Ice_Eagle91 · « **Reply #30 on:** September 18, 2004, 01:23:25 AM »

No, Dragonslover. You're wrong! It's seven syllables, so Dumb Lem made a haiku that's not flawed! Good work, Dumb Lem!

DragonsLover · « **Reply #31 on:** September 19, 2004, 02:54:32 AM »

You sure?

Ha-i-kus-are-rea-lly-ea-sy

That's 8!

Ice_Eagle91 · « **Reply #32 on:** September 26, 2004, 02:46:26 AM »

Nope, still wrong!

Hai-kus-are-real-ly-ea-sy

That's 7!

DragonsLover · « **Reply #33 on:** September 26, 2004, 03:28:55 AM »

Ok ok... you win!

Ice_Eagle91 · « **Reply #34 on:** September 26, 2004, 03:31:19 AM »

It's okay, buddy,
Just don't be so embarrassed!
You are my best friend!

DragonsLover · « **Reply #35 on:** September 26, 2004, 03:36:59 AM »

It's because I'm a french guy and we pronounce Haikus: Ha-i-kus. In english, it's Hai-kus. But it's okay!

Jonni · « **Reply #36 on:** January 15, 2005, 10:25:30 PM »

Ive just discovered this sight.

I thought I was the only person in the world who had writted a Lemming poem:

Lemming

Sorry l\il lemming,
I am unable to protect thee
You\ve got to blow.
I\ll see you later
As a crater (oh no!),
And a shower of confetti.

Jonni Kaj · « **Reply #37 on:** January 15, 2005, 10:28:02 PM »

Here's another, its a little rusty but I can smooth it out mebbe if people like it:

Lemmings

The joy of watching lemmings tumble
Across a temple\s twisted stair
Or amongst the stripy circus poles
With leaf-green tumbling hair.

When they call [let\s go\ from their downwards door
They really mean their call
For drowns and crushes and roasting flame
Awaits their happy fall.

At your command they\d dig a hole
Or build bridges over black, black chasms
Or tunnel through a random wall
And hope your reflex does not spasm.

Their trust in you is absolute
And mindlessly they stride
Towards a doom you would avert
Had not your patience disinclined.

They drop and die in soggy rhythm
To the happy tune that keeps them sane
When they are vanquished you restart the level
and make the same mistakes again.

When finally you have cleared safe a path
Across a metal hell
They\ll thank you with their cry [yippee!\
And leap to sunny, leafy dells

Next time you see a green-blue spill
Or hear a [let\s go\ sound effect
And you see the need to have some killed
Kill them with respect.

Hope you like it!!!

And wow to all the poetry stuff here already, I especially loved the haikus of all the lemming tools!

Proxima · « **Reply #39 on:** January 15, 2005, 10:34:30 PM »

I might re-post this here, since no-one's going to find it locked away in the middle of the very long Lemming List Game topic.........

BE MORE THAN JUST A NUMBER (an ode to Havoc level 2)

Be more than just a number
Be more than just a life
Be more than just a lemming
Be more than just some pretty lemming's wife
You gotta show some feeling
(There's no shortage of time)
You gotta have a purpose
(There's always one more block of steel to climb)

Be more than just a number
Be more than just "that guy"
Be more than just a climber
There's always something original to try!
You gotta have some courage
To brave the lemming world
You gotta show some wanting
To have the tale of your mightiest deeds unfurled

Be more than just a number
Be more than just yourself
Be more than just "some other"
Be someone truly willing to help yourself
You gotta join in somehow
In all the fun and strife
Gotta give yourself a meaning
Before you learn the meaning of lemming life

Timballisto · « **Reply #40 on:** February 02, 2005, 09:20:09 PM »

How did the "standard" LU language come to be English anyhow? That must've been hard on any non-English speaking people at first. I know I couldn't use a german forum...much. I couldn't use a French forum at all.

?QuErY? · « **Reply #41 on:** February 08, 2005, 06:01:12 PM »

I'm pretty good at poems, but it takes me a while to get inspiration. Maybe dumb_lem should try and get some proper ideas before suddenly typing something completely random?

DragonsLover · « **Reply #42 on:** February 08, 2005, 08:08:46 PM »

Hi and welcome here ?QuErY?! Enjoy the forum! B)

Highly random lemming related insult poem:

Blood is red
Leotards blue
Lemmings are s*upid and so are you!

If anyone thinks it's directed at them, it isn't.

How did the lemming survive?
Why is he still alive?
Must be 'cause the litttle fella
got himself an umbrella.

AstralLemming · « **Reply #48 on:** July 04, 2005, 04:29:21 PM »

Shvegait · « **Reply #50 on:** July 04, 2005, 06:12:45 PM »

Err, that's not a limmerick.

You need a 5th line that rhymes with the 1st and 2nd.

Like this:
How did the lemming survive?
Why is he still alive?
Seems that lil' fella
Opened an umbrella
Which saved him from the deadly dive.

Just an example.

psyke_spawn · « **Reply #51 on:** July 04, 2005, 06:28:21 PM »
