SullyMcGully Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) Ladies and gentlewomen, tomboys and girls - it is I, the mighty green cavalier Sain. As of late, I have taken up the practice of poetry, that I might regale the whole realm of femaledom with my epic works of manly passion. I implore you to please lie down and immerse yourself in my lyrics as I praise the many beautiful muses in my companionship - in recruitment order! Poem 1 - For my sweet Lady Lyndis Who can hit like a mace, yet soothe like a salve, Fill friends with hope, yet cut foes in half? Who else aside from her could this be? Who else lays claim to these qualities? Lyndis, oh, Lyndis, the sound of that name - Love me or hate me, I'll love you the same. Your skin is as fair as Ilia's snow; Your hair, a deep green, as the grass that does grow On the plains of Sacae, the source of your pride Where kinsman and family tragically died. The last of the Lorca, you still carried on And fought for the future, courageous and strong. If not inspired, then what would I be, By you, who has given a purpose to me? To fight alongside you is my true desire. Of all my achievements, not one ranks higher Than to be your protector, a knight at your call Who will handle your blows and cushion your falls. You need not rely on my fellow knight - That stone-faced companion has half of my might! I, alone, respect the woman you are; Your beauty, your passion, your delicate heart. From the way your hair moves as you brandish your blade To the way your dress flows once your blows have been laid - I love it all, indeed, all of that and more I love everything about you, as stated before - ARGH! I can't take it, though it send me to Hell... Can you not be my master and mistress as well? Spoiler I've been studying a lot of poetry lately and decided I would mess around with this concept that's been rolling around in my mind. So basically, this is going to be a series of poems in which Sain proclaims his undying love and admiration for... just about every playable female in FE7. Of course, the poetry is terrible (don't go thinking that this is my "best work" or something) but I thought that it might have comedic value for some of you. Since Lyn is the main female lord, her poem is significantly longer than what the other girls are going to be getting. It also lacks a real form, but I plan on putting later poems in Shakespearean sonnet form or something along those lines. If any of you have any feedback, advice, or encouragement, feel free to post below! Edited November 26, 2017 by SullyMcGully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Karnage Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Sain was a good bro, he never had a support with Lyn and let his bro Kent go for the lady let us all tip our hats to Sain, who also respects taken women like Louise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Volt Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 "On the plains of Sacae, the source of your pride where kinsmen and family tragically died." Why do I get the feeling Sain would get slapped for saying that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine the agony! 9 hours ago, Lord Volt said: "On the plains of Sacae, the source of your pride where kinsmen and family tragically died." Why do I get the feeling Sain would get slapped for saying that? Sain is an awful, insensitive poet. Good thing he doesn't read these aloud.

SullyMcGully Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 Poem II - for my clumsy little flower Florina There is a young girl from the mountainous north Whose figure has captured my gaze from the start. Graceful in combat, she's proven her worth Clumsy in nature, she's stolen my heart. Her limbs are as dainty as daffodil stems; Her step is as light as the air she flies through; Her face glows like diamonds, her eyes are like gems; Her hair radiates with a bellflower hue. But she will not have me, or have any man. Too shy to come closer, too fearful to stand Here at my side, though my thoughts be pure - I must find a way, a way to convince her! Oh dearest Florina, hear this, my plea! When you fall from the sky, could you please fall on me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SullyMcGully Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 (edited) Spoiler I love Sain and Serra's support conversation, because in it Sain doesn't actually get the girl. REJECTED! Poem III: to my needy, helpless little cleric Serra It pains me to say that I don't think you love me You spit in my face and tell me I'm gross But please, I beg you, don't think that way of me While I love all the girls, I love you the most! I have a confession, a passionate cry It says I must tell you the way that I feel From the day I first saw you and looked in your eyes I knew it'd be more than just scars that you'd heal Other men think you a pain or a bother I think of you as an angel of peace And nothing would I enjoy more than to offer My life to your service, so take it, now, please! You need not vassals or servants to love you I can provide the attention you want I'll call you "Milady" and make the most of you And wherever you go, I'll go in front All I ask in return is that you give me your love (But if you'd raise your dress a few inches, that'd be a nice touch!)

It might be a while before I write Rebecca's, because I have a lot of school right now and I'm experimenting with new poetry styles. I'm glad you've enjoyed what I've written so far!

SullyMcGully Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) Poem #4: to my hunter goddess Rebecca: Readily, readily, I would give myself to thee E'er the noble gentleman I to you would be Be you the better hunter, but I could hunt for you Even though your stinging words may trouble my desire Consoling you with morning dew though you fight back with fire Cannot the doors of Heaven open, and show my heart as true? Anything and everything, I'd give it all for you. Spoiler Seems a little short? Pay close attention to the poem and you might find a little secret! If you're poetically challenged or just challenged in general, you can find a hint below: Spoiler Look at first letter of every line. If you still can't get it for some reason, the answer is below. Spoiler Really? You couldn't figure it out? Fine then. It says, "REBECCA". Keep that in mind next time you have to analyze a poem, as this is a trick certain poets pull a lot. Spoiler What do you think I am, a poetry teacher? What do you kids learn in school these days...

SullyMcGully Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 Poem #5: The Ballad of Priscilla and the Green Cavalier, to be sung to the tune of "Joe Bowers". Came Sain unto Priscilla, one sunny Caelin noon A-ridin' on his stallion, and whistlin' a tune When dazzled by the beauty before him seemed to glow Her hair was red as crimson, her face as white as snow Said Sain unto Priscilla, "Dame, I fear the sun May cast upon your forehead, and dark your complexion Allow me then to shade you, protect you from its rays I'll stand here right beside you, right here for all your days" Priscilla turned to Sain now, and told him how she felt "I'd love to take your offer, I feel like I could melt But have you not a lady, upon whom you must wait? I fear to take your service from she who needs it great Then Sain said to Priscilla, "It need not worry you For I have gained permission from Lyndis as is due I have changed allegiance, from now I shall serve thee Lonely be no longer, you'll have my company." Spoiler An alternate retelling of Sain/Priscilla's A Support. i've never actually listened to "Joe Bowers", but I've got an annoying brother-in-law who plays "I'm a Good Old Rebel" all of the time.

SullyMcGully Posted December 24, 2017 Author Share Posted December 24, 2017 (edited) Poem # 6: For my war-weary maiden Fiora: Astride your pegasus astute You stand firm and resolute But your composure's grace is moot If you throw your life away. So when you're on the battlefield Allow me to be your shield And I swear I shall not yield If you'll let me save your day. What is pain? What is disease? Are they not but petty fleas ? Should they dictate as they please And force me away from you? Fair Fiora, and about my comrade Kent... Wait, everything's going dark... but my... Fiora? What's... happening... *thud* Spoiler Sorry I haven't posted in a while! I've been writing "real" poetry for school, but hopefully I can get back to working here consistently. The strange ending is a hint at Sain and Fiora's B support. Edited December 24, 2017 by SullyMcGully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miracle-Flora Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 *claps* Those are really well done!! I don't really read poetry that often but decided this would be the only exception, since Sain is my favorite FE7 character. Worth it in the end! It's very in-character and I adore them oh-so much. You should RP as him sometime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
