a poem for Moonsinger

[commodified]

I have conceived of a brief poem as an ode to Moonsinger. It is comprised of stanzaic haikus. I hope that it serves to convey my awe.


you are a legend
maybe the best of all time
surrounded by myth

brilliant strategies
deity seems so easy
when you speak of it

i am paralyzed
in awe of your high scores
i must keep breathing.

offensive settlers
deadly artillery stacks
your skill is immense

how do you do it?
the impossible is not
when you instruct me.

Who said that romance is dead?

 

[alamo]

Aww, that's cute.

A nice change from some of the other topics of late.

Baying at the moon - maybe you should change your name to BayWolf.

 

[Matrix]

I need a smily that points to his forehead.

Yet it's quite funny.

 

[amirsan]

I like that poem!!!! Its realy cool of you.

Would you prefer
to sin with moonsinger in
a tiger skin,
or would you perfer
to play with her
on another fur?

Slightly adapted from some verse in today's Wall Street Journal (would you believe?)

 

[Civrules]

That is a nice one indeed!

Does anyone know if she's read this thread yet? I don't think I've ever spotter her in general discussion. I usually see her posts in strategy and HOF forums.

 

[Darkness]

Moonsinger's got an admirer...

@superslug: She's also one of the regulars (and top players in the GOTM) and I've just PM'ed her about this thread, so I'm sure she'll be around sometime....

That is very thoughtful of you. Thank you for your kind words.

Why the frowny face Frisian? For all we know she's 79 years old! Then again maybe Frisian is too. As cool as being anonymous is on net is, it's sometimes frustrating to not know more about our civ comrades isn't it?

There is an age thread at the GOTM forum and other F^4 too.

No, I haven't yet tried the Multiplayer game option. I just got PTW last month and I have played only 1 game (GOTM19) with PTW so far. The GOTM20 would be my second one , but I'm not sure if I'm ever going time to finish it this month.

But happily I am married

A woman who knows as much as you do about Civ - of course you're married. Who wouldn't snatch up a woman like that. All I want from my wife is to leave me alone when I am playing Civ.

 

[superslug]

All I want from my wife is to show up and introduce herself since I don't seem to have found her yet...

I left this open until Moonsinger saw it. Now it's just degenerating into spam.
