[Nightfall Phase 1]: Vaadwaurian Poetry

Description

Write your own Limerick about the Vaadwaur! A limerick is a type of humorous poem that consists of five lines. Here’s a breakdown of its structure:

Lines 1, 2, and 5: These lines typically have seven to ten syllables and rhyme with each other.

Lines 3 and 4: These lines are shorter, usually five to seven syllables, and they also rhyme with each other.

The rhyme scheme of a limerick is AABBA. The first line often introduces a character or setting, and the rest of the poem builds on this with a twist or punchline at the end.

For example:

There once was a species called Vaadwaur(A),

Who slept for a long time in a jar(A).

They woke up with a start(B),

And tried to play a part(B),

But Voyager left them quite ajar.(A)

Criteria

  • Submissions should be in the form of text submitted through the submission box.

The Vaadwaur showed up one day

We are afraid they are here to stay

But Starfleet will fight

With all of their might

They are sure to send the Vaadwaur away

They came from the underspace
Everyone said they had an ugly face
Klingons said they looked like giraffes
Romulans pointed and laughed
The Vaadwuar cried and went back to sunspace

In subspace they plotted with flair,
Old Vaadwaur rose up from their lair.
With tunnels so vast,
They struck from the past—
But Janeway said, “Don’t even dare.”

There once was a Vaadwaur from Delta,
When the Tureians came he sought shelter,
He wanted to hide,
But he got stuck outside,
And ended up having to skelter.

Vaadwaur by nature are really mean,
Their bodies are tall, ugly and lean.
From Underspace they appear,
Bringing great death and fear,
But their ships are black and not green.

The day begins with coffee and tea
The air in the room smells like the sea
The Vaadwaur have awoken from their sleep
Angry that nobody has held their Supremecy in keep
The price for forgetting them will be a deep reap

Blackouts spread from the Depths
From tunnels deep, the darkness grew,
Old empires slept, but never through.
With patient hands and vengeful grace,
The Vaadwaur wait in underspace.

There once was a Vaadwaur so fine,
From the Delta Quadrant, they did shine.
They hibernated deep,
Their technology asleep,
But their wakeful return was quite divine.

A species that was once lost in space,
awoke to feel all out of place,
thier planet was pasted,
bombarded and wasted,
And thier vengeance shall span Underspace!

They woke from suspended animation.
Seven their reckless salvation.
In Talax they’re foolish,
But their tyranny’s ghoulish,
Surprise! For Starfleet: Invasion.

Underspace used to be neat,
Efficient, discreet, so elite.
Then they came along,
With war crimes and song,
Now everything’s doom with a beat.

The Vaadwaur were sneaky and sly,
With subspace corridors to fly.
They woke full of bluster,
Yet lacked modern muster,
So, Janeway just waved them goodbye.

It’s a rare luck to find a vaadwuar asleep,
Wrapped up in blankets counting his sheep.
Make his forehead your best work,
And with a satisfied smirk,
Cover him with images to make his mum weep!

They consider themselves one hell of a threat,
And they want us gone, yes they do want us dead!
Their weird neck and their fascist ideal
For us holds very little appeal,
We already have the Cardassians for that!

To Talaxians, a name harsh and keen,
For deeds both obscure and unseen.
Though called foolish in lore,
They dreamed evermore,
Of reclaiming an empire once supreme.

There once was a species that spoke Vaad-ish
Who were defeated and now are maddish (yes its a word)
They tried to reboot
That is such a hoot
When their supremacy failed they vanished

There was a starship called Andromeda
And when the Vaadwaur attacked there was drama-da
It shot lots of phasers
Which are kind of like lasers
And even released photon torpedoes lie a lot-a-la

The Vaadwaur rule the underspace.
They emerge from nowhere to get all up in your face.
The galaxy must beat them back.
So fend off the Vaadwaur attack.
Or else they will stomp you in a tender place.
