Hiya MUGWUMPS!
Thought I would post some old poems here so as to keep Rave company.
Ode to DR
A brilliant smile that gleams and flashes
Deep blue eyes and long eyelashes
Mussed up hair, so very charming
A gentle air, it's quite disarming
An ancient soul with hidden fire
All that our Harry does require
Perfectly brought to the screen
Your spirit shines in every scene
If there was one thing you could know
It's while we wait and watch you grow
We're grateful you were chosen to
Give life to Harry, we love you!
Woes of the Old Lady
It seems like just an instant
Since I was young and fey
But somehow time got by me
And I am old today
My bones are getting brittle
My memory has lapses
The more I try to reminisce
The more my brain collapses
But inside this wrinkling visage
A younger girl remains
Forever stuck at seventeen
Who aging still disdains
By day I am the elder
And carry off the part
At evening, though, the girl gets out
And then the fireworks start
I know how strange it is at times
To see what's in my head
But even though I've lived some years
I'm only old--not dead!
Moony, Padfoot, Wormtail and Prongs:
Long ago and far away
Four young men spent many a day
Dreaming of a glorious fray
Where courage never lost its way
And good guys always won
Evil could not desecrate
Their confidence so consummate
Nor victory fail to be innate
And fighting only fun
But first one fell to evil's call
And in so doing, ruined them all
For his betrayal meant the fall
Destroyed the father standing tall
Who died to save his son.
And next to save his cursed skin
Accused the other former friend
Uncaring that his life may end
In horrors none may comprehend
Before his life was done
Now that evil walks the land
And Voldemort regains command
The moment drawing close at hand
Of all the young men in that band
Left standing, only one
A gentle man with secret woe
And troubles very few could know
Will he be the next to go
As he stands to face his foe
Now fighting has begun?
To Hermione
Frizzy hair,
Bossy boots
Witch so rare
In cahoots
Harry's sidekick
Ron's um...lover?
What new thing will we discover?
Study fetish
Counsel giver
When help is needed
You deliver
Advocate
For what is right
Always helpful in a fight
Friend forever
Right or wrong
Always loyal
Always strong
Super smart
Super gal
Super bossy
Super pal!
RUPERT
I saw you at the World premiere
Unspoiled and unaffected
While others smiled and hurried off
You met fans and connected
It only took a minute
For you to charm so many
You made my journey worth the while
Regrets--I haven't any
All day from early morning
I stood in line and waited
Shuffled off from here to there
Got rained on and frustrated
Everyone had given up
The crowds had gotten thin
The excitement really ended
When everyone went in
But I was glad I stayed there
And all because of you
When everyone came out and left
You alone came through
We shouted for a wave, a glance
But you gave so much more
We hardly could believe our eyes
When you stepped out the door
I was not the only one
Your simple action thrilled
A little girl sat next to me
Wet and tired and chilled
Until you gave your autograph
And made her go off smiling
That was the thing that touched me most
Your kindness is beguiling
I know you can't remember me
I hope it wasn't rude
I was the wet, tired lady
The one who called you "Dude!"
Phoenix Song
Brilliant plumage
Scarlet and gold
Mysterious creature
From legend of old
A reminder of life's
Unfailing rebirth
The story that gives us
New hope here on earth
Loyal inspirer
Gifted with song
To give the heart courage
And make the heart strong
When all hope is lost
You are there to step in
In aid of your champion
Familiar, and friend
Five hundred years
Is the time you're allotted
Before following some ancient plan, Legend plotted
Building a nest
The most fragrant of pyres
Your burst into flame
But them rise from the fire
Born again new
Life from death you've begun
Gather the ashes and fly to the sun.
Sing this to the tune of "The Beverly Hillbillies!"
The Ballad of George and Fred
Let me tell you all a story
'bout George and Fred
Two Weasley boys
With hair of fiery red
They took all they could stand
Of the happenings at school
Then caused a big commotion
Made Umbridge look like a fool!
Spells, ya know?
Dung bombs...
Fireworks...
Well the next thing you know
Those twins are in a fix
Filch is coming
And he's gonna give'em licks
Fred turns to George
And he says, " Bro, what do you say?
"Fred," says George
"I think we better get away!"
"Accio!
Get the brooms, Fred!"
Well, the broomsticks came
When Fred gave them the call
The boys took off, saying
"See ya later, all!"
"This ugly hag
Has turned the school into a bore.
If you want some retribution,
Come and see us at the store!"
Off they flew
Into the sunset!
Heehee!
Sirius Black
Passionate protector
Prisoner of fate
Forced to abide
In a home that you hate
Your safety means nothing
You live for the fight
You give all you have
To defend what is right
But life, in its strange
And mysterious way
Has made you a figure
Of tragic display
Your action-fed nature
Forced to endure
Inaction's frustration
Til evil man's lure
Plays on your courage
And leads you to danger
Your nemesis calls
And he isn't a stranger
The young man you cherish
As brother and son
Is threatened and cornered
The battle's begun
Bravery shines
In your golden hour
This is what life is for
This is your power
Only a moment
An instant in time
But oh, what a moment
Of glory sublime
Then one flash of light
And the moment is past
As we watch in horror
Stunned and aghast
Frozen in time
But gone much too soon
Etched on the mem'ry
Like some old, sad tune
And so to your destiny
Tragic and sad
With heartache and sorrow
For one grieving lad
In battle you end your life
Some say you fail
But you are a hero
Just beyond the veil
Thought I would post some old poems here so as to keep Rave company.
