Prophecies of the Ancient’s decree,
Dark Pariah shall face the dragon,
In the Universal arena, heart’s quail,
Worlds tremble as giant forces clash.

Cloying Darkness is stirring, awakening,
Shadows shifting within Darker shadows,
Snake-like tendrils slithering, pulsing,
A menace daring to reveal true purpose.

Brandishers of Light must stand and fight,
Resisting all temptation of offered power,
Battling against foul corruption: death,
Halting the slide into dank, filthy, pits.

Monsters stalking the innocent; feeding,
Drenched in blood of pain and suffering,
Spawn of Dreadnoughts bring carnage,
Will any stand against the slaughter?

The fabled sword twisted in torment,
Calling, calling; seeking a champion,
Searching out those who would dare,
Questing for the brave of the Light.

Light heeds the need, offers strength,
Dragon heart’s beat, Champions arise,
Drums of war, thunderous, deafening,
As the Clysm screams to be birthed.

This is my Blood Bowl.


Thank you Games Workshop for giving us Blood Bowl;
I’ve played it all my life and I’ve completely re-written the rules.
It allows my imagination to run wild carrying a sword,
Attacking all sorts of creatures, whilst playing American Football.
It has magic, magic items and you may think it’s just for kids;
But without Blood Bowl,
I wouldn’t have imagined half of the things that I did.


People need a release from the real world;
Mine is found on a football pitch in the game of Blood Bowl.
People cheat, steal and bribe referees and do almost anything.
If you give this game to your kid,
They could imagine the impossible
And some day, maybe, write random poetry like me!  He, he.


…And now down to the pitch to see the kickoff!...


The humans line up against the bad boy orcs;
The dwarfs and elves are in support.
Chaos lords and chaos spawn (twisted creatures);
Rain down pain and death on the undead and the living.


The undead walk slowly, the goblins flee!
Rat Ogres and trolls are invading the pitch!
The referee blows his whistle to send the giant off!
The deadly dark elves chop the referee’s up with chainsaws,
Or use swords and axes, grenades and clubs.
They are all fighting to win the B.B.C. cup.


The Blood Bowl Championship;
It’s like the NFL Superbowl trophy.
I’ve made leagues and cups
And every single thing possible, just for fun; just for me.


The Official Blood Bowl Organization,
Try to make all weapons illegal, but oh no, no, no!
This is the sport of death!  
This is Blood Bowl!


Use spells and magic items and cause suffering;
The tiny snotling is beaten by the little Halfling.
The ***** in there somewhere, though nobody cares;
The Beastmen are just here to fight,
Whilst the gnomes laugh at the high elves hair.
Such pampered fools, in love with themselves;
Vanity and self-love?  That must be the elves.


Here comes a chaos dwarf, driving a steam roller;
He flattens the Fimir and another vampire.
The zombies are clueless and one fumbles the ball,
Before he is decapitated, by the Reikland Reavers’ Mighty Zug!


The ghoul’s are hungry for blood;
Here come the orks, the band of goffs.
Crazy *** gitz, just having a laugh.
Here are the sneaky Skaven to stab someone in the back.


Amazonian women are running around screaming,
Like the banshee’s and all sorts of scary demons.
The Sisters of Battle are from the future;
A bear charges at a Treeman and look!  There’s a little Gnoblar.


Giant bats, giant snails, giant rats and giant eagles,
Giant leeches, giant frogs, giant spiders and giant scorpions.
The norse are Vikings, (ranked titles include kings);
There’s a termagant from the year 40,000 and something.
There are space marines, and space wolf marines,
All armed to the teeth with weapons.


The genestealer’s steal genes to make new creatures/weapons;
There are evil gnomes, evil ewoks, ewoks and evil Treemen.
Lesser demons fight lesser goblins and run from the Lictor!
The werebear’s and werewolves fight the wolves and Saurus creatures.
There is no victor.


The skinks fire poisoned blowpipes at the Large beasts & minions.
Chaos Halflings beat up people on camels and horses
And they beat up Khemri with anything.
Mummies climb out of their crypts to bring death to the mutants;
The slayers are here to bring down the mighty bone giants.


The noble Brettonians see Blue and Pink Horrors running around;
Tyranids, Tyranid warriors and tyrants send people underground.
Dead now in this game of Blood Bowl; the game of death!
Witch elves are being hunted by Witch Hunters;
There’s only three left.


To the right is a Zoat fighting a huge Yeti.
A chaos human rides a chaos horse; look out Goddess Betty.
Greater demons bring down Griffons and **** the crazy monkeys;
The mushlings and snotrooms are simply fleeing and screaming.


Skeletons on skeletal horses, fight salamanders and satyrs.
Jabberwocks and Juggernauts,
Destroy Hydra’s with the Hydra’s own fire.
Chaos Warriors and Chaos human cowboys, slug it out with Gods;
Norse dwarves fight Nurgles rotter’s and nurgling’s fight ogres.


The slann were the originators of the game of Blood Bowl;
The Ushabti Tomb Kings come from Khemri to fight the robotic Tau.
Vostroyan drunks are fighting with Wood elves.
Oh my God!  That troglodyte really does smell!


Warhounds race Gladehounds and cyborg’s fight cyboar’s;
Big cats include tigers and lions, so we must quickly carry on.
A carrion is an undead bird and they are ****** huge!
The imperial guard are like the rebels in Terminator;
They are humans.


Kroxigor’s smash boney clubs & break Kroot’s predator-like heads;
Kislevite Horsemen and Cowboy’s ride horses onto the pitch.
Night goblin’s and forest goblin’s steal from all including the Eldar.
They are elves of the future and there are chaos space marines…

They have travelled far.


Every creature has come to take part in this game of football.
Its American football with death included; it’s so much fun!
Harpy fly above Haradhrim as a Necron breaks his own jaw;
He fell over when dodging the tomb scorpion’s claw.


Thrall and Wights march to battle on the pitch against the living;
Undead champions are leaders of death
And the minotaur’s eat the dead.  
Nobody knows who is winning.
Chimera and other daemonic beasts are really tough to ****, I see;
But that boar just exploded, thanks to the grenade…
Bye life, hello death; he, he.


Elementals are like Gods of earth, wind, water and fire.
Dragon ogres are going to **** anything that gets in their way!
Dreadnoughts are made to ****; there’s a wolf!
This undead one’s dire.
Dryad are small Treemen; there are some Elite Skaven!
Open fire!


Savage orcs fight sea elves as squig hopper’s bounce past randomly.
Ungor’s are little Beastmen, but there are still quite deadly.
Manticores destroy lizardmen and there’s a blood-soaked cold one.
Bull centaur’s charge at black orc’s,
Who are ganging up with a chaos champion.


Centaurs crash into carnosaur’s,
As Dark eldar fly down from their space ships.
Hobgoblins can’t be trusted; the thieving gits!
Orc leaders are warlords, bosses and big bosses too;
The Redemptionists are the priest from aliens 3 or aliens 2.
Whichever I can’t remember and haven’t got time to look;
Oh yeah let’s watch the game again and see who has got the ball.


Golem!  (phlegm!)  Golem!  No; not that one!
These golems are Flesh golem’s and some are made of stone.
They are creature of magic and are here to smack some heads;
And this is the end of the poem…

Dedicated to Games workshop (thank you) and the sport of death!

A NEW DAY ARRIVES ON THE BLUE SEA,
THE LIGHT TOUCHING THE SAPPHIRE WATER.
THEN, WITH THE RUSH OF WAVES
BREAKING UPON ON THEIR METAL HULLS,
FOUR SHIPS OF GREY-PAINTED IRON & STEEL
CUT THROUGH THE WATER OF GLASS.

THE FIRST IS A NOBLE AND MAGNIFICENT WARSHIP,
A GREAT MONSTER OF IRON, FURY, AND GLORY,
A BATTLESHIP THAT WILL SPARK YOUNG BOYS IMAGINATION WITH COMPLETE FIREPOWER, KNOWN AS THE “GUN CLUB”.

FOLLOWING BEHIND IS AN CARRIER
WITH MANY WARPLANES THROTTLING
FOR LAUNCH, ANXIOUS FOR COMBAT.

NEXT IS A DESTROYER, ITS CREW
TRYING ITS BEST TO RESTRAIN ITSELF
AND STAY WITH ITS BROTHERS IN ARMS.

LAST, BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, IS A CRUISER,
A MERE SMALLER REPLICA OF THE
BATTLESHIP, BUT NOT BE UNDERESTIMATED.

BELOW THESE SURFACE BEHEMOTHS IS A
SILENT STALKER OF THE DARK ABYSS,
A FAST SUBMARINE, MASTER OF THE ART OF ATTACK.
WITH A SIGNAL PASSED BETWEEN THE
WARSHIPS, THE FLEET GOES ITS SEPARATE WAYS
AND PREPARES TO FIGHT A MORNING WAR;
A STORM OF UNPRESCIDENT CHAOS AND DEATH.

AS THE SUN BEGINS TO TOUCH CLOUDS,
A ROAR OF ENGINES ECHOES ACROSS
THE BRIGHTING SKY,
IN TURN JOINED BY THE CACOPHONY
OF MACHINE GUNS FIRING THOUSANDS
INTO SQUADRONS OF ENEMY JETS.

FRIENDLY AIRCRAFT BLAST IN THE AIR
FROM THE DECK OF THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER,
EAGER FOR EPIC DOGFIGHTS AS ONBOARD
SYSTEMS LOCK ONTO ENEMIES.

FROM THE DESTROYER ERUPT STREAKS
OF ANTI-AIRCRAFT MISSILES FROM
HIDDEN SILOS BELOW ITS DECKS.

SUDDENLY, A EXPLOSION ECHOES ACROSS THE OCEAN,
A SECOND LATER, GEYSERS OF WATER
ERUPT INTO THE AIR AMONG THE FLEET.

RADAR AND SPOTTERS CONFIRM THE
ENEMY ON THE HORIZON, JUST OUT OF MISSILE RANGE.

ON THE COMMAND OF THE ADMIRAL,
THE CRUISER JOINS THE SUBMARINE
AND LAUNCHES TORPEDOES
FROM THEIR DECKS AND TUBES.

WHITE COLUMNS OF WATER AND
STEEL ERUPT LIKE TOWERS AS
TORPEDOES HIT THEIR MARK.

BUT A SOUNDS LIKE SRIENS SCREAMING
ALL THEIR MIGHT ECHOES ACROSS
THE BATTLEFIELD AND LOOKOUTS POINT
OUT TWO ARCHING PILLARS OF FLAME
CURVE DOWN TOWARDS THEIR TARGET.

DOOMED TO ONLY WATCH, CREW
MEMBERS FIRE BULLETS TO STOP THE
MISSILES FROM THE SUB.

BUT THE EXPLOSIONS THAT FOLLOW AND
THE SHOCKWAVES THAT CAUSE GROWN
MEN TO BE SLAMMED AGAINST BULKHEADS
CONFIRM IT; ALL HANDS LOST.

THE CRUISER, NOW FAR FROM FRIENDLY
SUPPORT, WAGES A WAR OF IT OWNS AS
IT BECOMES SURROUNDED BY THE ENEMY.

BUT AFTER MISSILE, SHELL, AND TORPEDO,
THE OCEAN CLAIMS HER QUARRY WITH
WAVES OF RAGING BLUE FLOODING THE DECKS.

THE DESTROYER, FURIOUS OF THE
LOSS OF HER BROTHERS IN ARMS,
EXPELLS ALL OF HER WEAPONS IN HOPES
OF HITTING AT LEAST ONE OF THE ENEMY.

IN LUCK, THE FOE'S SUBAMRINE AND DESTROYER
BURN OIL AS THEY SINK, BUT FOR A PRICE:
THE DESTROYER BEGINS ITS SLUMBER
TOWARDS THE DARK ABYSS.

ALL SHIPS REMAINING ARE THE
CARRIERS AND THE MIGHTY DREADNOUGHTS
KNOWN AS BATTLESHIPS.

THE CARRIERS CONTINUE THEIR AREIAL DUALS,
LAUNCHING AIRCRAFT BARELY CAPABLE
OF FLIGHT OR FIGHT.

THEN, WITH THE SOUND OF DRAGONS,
THE BATTLESHIPS BEGIN THE FINAL PHASE
OF THE OCEAN BATTLE.

CLOUDS OF FIRE, SMOKE, AND STEEL ARE
BELCHED WITH ANGER INTO THE AIR
AS BOTH SHIPS FIGHT AROUND THE
STILL-BURNING HULLS.

SURVIVORS, DESPERATELY HOLDING ONTO
SCRAP TO STAY AFLOAT, CHEER THEIR FELLOW
BATTLESHIPS ON AS THE GREAT IRON GIANTS
DUKE IT OUT FOR THE HONOR OF THEIR NATION.

FINALLY, THE “GUN CLUB” BATTLESHIP,
EXACTLY AS SOON AS THE GREAT ORB
OF THE SUN BEGINS TO SINK, DESTROYED
THE ENEMY WITH ALL SIXTEEN INCH GUNS
LAND SHELL AFTER SHELL INTO THE ARMOR.


INTERNAL FIRES FINALLY CAUSE THE
STEEL BEHEMOTH TO SINK FOR ITS
CHANCE AT GLORY, VANQUISHED.

“HIT!! YOU SANK MY BATTLESHIP!”
I RAISE MY ARMS IN VICTORY AS MY
FRIEND AND MYSELF PLACE THE
FINAL PIN INTO THE FINAL RESTING
PLACE OF THE MISSING BATTLESHIP.
THUS MARKS THE END OF A BATTLESHIP GAME,
BUT IMAGINATION DRIVES THE BATTLE ON.
This poem was one of my best poems ever. Despite the name, this was originally named "A Game of Battleship." Pardon me for the confusion.
Michael Marchese Feb 2017
Where are we now
One year to this day
How far have we come
Since I asked you to stay  

I find I'm no closer
To spanning the sea
Or bridging the oceans
That keep you from me

Just drifting across them
And casting asunder
The fleeting resistance
To being pulled under

Then asking myself
How do I still drown
In a love that was anchored
And dragging me down

Could it be that your warmth
Was the sand in my toes
Or that you felt at home
In my rock bottom woes

Be they sheltering monsters
Devoid of all light
Or shipwreck sunrises
From dreadnoughts at night

We still plotted a course
With no sense of direction
Searching for shores
At each sign of depression

Guided by hope
That Northern stars fading
Would never burn out
Should they just keep on waiting

For bottles of empty
To fill with each note
Containing the words
That could save our lifeboat

But dear Aphrodite
The hole in this plot
Was the bluest of vessels
Poseidon forgot

War came. How could it not? Bringing many things especially death. They wanted to knock Turkey out of the war. One ally less for Germany.
Many events happened. Some were firsts. All included death. It was the stuff of legends. Making small nations great and great nations small and killing their empires.
It was quite a LIST:
The big ships duelled it out with the forts, boom!
And the action off the Dardanelles. Historic?
A Shorts rag wing biplane made history and put a tin fish into a Turkish ship.
Much needed Ottoman army supplies lost aboard sunken ships.
Allied subs attacked Ottoman ships in the Bosporus more than thirteen times, bled the Turks white.
Those same subs being the first enemy warships to penetrate Istanbul since 1453, the Royal Navy sub B11 sank Turkey's Mesudiye battleship.
Being killed themselves, subs still on the seabed: Royal Navy E7, E14; French Navy Saphir, Joule, Marionette.
Two were British, sunk by a German U-boat, U-21, in three days.
Australia lost the AE2 but not before she dodged mines and sank a Turkish ship. Running aground near a fort was dangerous. AE2 was the first Allied ship to transit the Dardenelles.
Massive Allied battleships and dreadnoughts fought it out with the forts ashore, the French lost Bouvet and over six hundred sailors. Bouvet brushed gunfire off but a mine killed her.
Two Royal Navy ships died by mines while shelling the forts and gun emplacements: HMS Ocean and Irresistible. Inflexible was damaged. So were French's Suffren and Gaulois.
The forts did their job, thwarting the big ships and making a land campaign necessary.
The Turkish battleships fought back, firing over their peninsula.
It wasn't all one sided, for a Turkish torpedo boat, Muavenet-i Milliye snuck through the narrows, to sink HMS Goliath, and drowning over five hundred men, with three torpedoes.
The Turkish high command was sick of RN battleships raining destruction down on their forces.
They stuck it out and weren't knocked out. The ANZACS went ashore...
from Picnic by Jimmy Boom Semtex

I am haunted
God’s scaffolding spinning space
into constellations
The skeleton’s mock trial
Of the soul
Molecules molecules molecules
All dreadnoughts and black holes

The poet at the pulpit
His flesh and hair, fine fuels
Scripture as song, COMBUSTION
Spiraling galaxies locomotive The Duel
Walking Bombs with Timed Mechanisms

Timed mechanisms inside,
Built by fascism’s cruel design—
Daily cares that bind the mind,
For fools who bow and fall in line.

You rise at dawn without a bell,
Like wounded prey, a ticking spell—
Something’s ticking, don't you see?
Soon you’ll be a force for cruelty.

If you don’t break from blind submission,
The trivial chaos, senseless mission,
And anxious fears that guide the reign—
Desires are ruled by fear and pain.



---------------------



Lies from Every Iron, or "Information" and Other Services

From fascist filth, I rise in pain,
I bow and switch the iron on.
With lies, I pull the world in chains,
A shameful realm of "services" gone wrong!



---------------------



The Miracle of Nonsense

A miracle of nonsense, hear—
It dulls the mind, makes things unclear.
Who came for souls amidst the filth,
In a world so full of endless guilt?

Satan. With his hollow lies,
He tortures souls with no disguise.
Fools can swallow nonsense whole—
Just look at CowID's deadly toll.

They showed it clearly, loud and plain:
Many minds have gone insane.
Few dissent, the rest comply—
Our task? Just talk and let it die.



---------------------



Smears and Pseudoscientific Nonsense

A naked beast in reckless flight,
Its body stained, hits canvas tight.
"Is this called art?"—for fools, indeed,
The answer’s simple—no great need.

The filth is praised by vile and base,
To test how deep the fall from grace.
The crowd has sunk—are they still men?
They’ll rot, then sink, then rot again.

A critic, paid to hail decay,
Will turn pure light to foulest clay.
For cash, he’ll **** what dares to shine,
Exalting filth like it’s divine.

See, take Picasso—paints and boards—
That’s all his scribbles are, my lords!
Yet push the name—"Behold! How grand!"
Thus war on reason’s close at hand.

They fight for minds, for souls, for will,
Through filth they twist and mold you still.
Through fraud they plant absurd belief—
And fools embrace it, to their grief.

But don’t! Look out with your own sight,
And let your mind discern what’s right.
Or else you’ll turn into their spawn—
A wretch their twisted hands have drawn.



---------------------



Satan and Earth

The steward stepped into the Hall,
But found no master there.
The servants, weak and doomed to fall,
Were lost in dull despair.

He seized the throne, he made the rules,
A tyrant, harsh and sly.
The meek obeyed like frightened fools—
And how the Fiend did sigh!

But time had come to pay the price,
To settle every debt.
The Fiend and Evil fell like dice
To Hell, where they were set.

Yet one stood firm—no slavish pawn—
He passed through Heaven’s gate.
For justice shines, still marching on,
Through all the bounds of fate.



---------------------



The Shell of Lies

Peter Harris, trapped inside,
Cannot break his fragile shell.
Lies seep in through gaps so wide,
Twisting nature—warping well.

Layer lies upon another,
Till his armor’s thick and strong.
Soft ones, run—there is no cover!
Cry or wail—it won’t be long.

Armored shells now fill the spaces,
Choking life in poisoned air.
Toward the BEAST, the fate it chases—
Armored hordes are floating there.

ARMOR-BEAST now sets them chasing,
Soft ones lost beneath the tide.
What began this dark erasing?
Filth that festered deep inside.



---------------------



Mediocrity and Means

Do they survive on what they earn?
Oh no—don’t be naive!
Inheritance at every turn,
And fools that fools receive.

True talent makes them shy away,
A living, biting shame.
The meek and hollow store for days,
Yet hoard their worthless claim.

And hacks will always lend a hand—
They sail a single wave.
While talent shines, it’s quickly banned—
No market for the brave.

A poet? Writer? Cast aside
All dreams of gain or fame.
You dig for worlds yet left to rise—
Not writing for their game...



---------------------



The Price of "Success"

For some—elite,
For some—a grind.
Success? So sweet—
For all, designed.

They break your mind,
Corrupt your soul.
You walk in blind—
Cash is the goal.

But keep your mind,
And stand your ground—
No wealth you’ll find,
No fortune found.

Success is theirs
Who sold their core.
The fool who cares
Stands lost—ignored.



---------------------



The Puppet Show

In politics, the same old game—
They wag their fingers, scold.
Yet hidden hands still call the plays,
Deciding blood runs cold.

They choose if wars ignite or cease,
What chaos will unfold.
Elections? Truth? A madman’s peace—
A lie forever sold.

A line of puppets, set to go,
In every shade and hue.
The "leaders" march to steal the show—
A shame in plainest view.

Their "will is free"—or so they claim,
Yet dance at filth’s command.
A sneeze, a cough—blown into flames,
Till death is close at hand.



---------------------



The Wheel of Wretched Life

It turns, it grinds, through pain and strife,
And leads to sorrow’s pit.
"To serve your land"—a noble life?
A fool believes in it.

They preach of homeland, power, pride,
All wrapped in golden lies.
Yet **** still rules, and side by side,
The clean are dirt in eyes.

If born in chains, you'll sink in grime,
Forever dragged below.
They call it "order"—filth sublime,
While lords just watch the show.

Their whips in hand, they crack them loud,
While dangling sweet rewards.
We drown our grief in drunken clouds,
Then march to serve once more.

The "Motherland" commands again—
The mindless sent to die.
The honest wail, yet all in vain—
As propaganda cries.



---------------------



The Dreadnought Comes

The dreadnought sails through mines and waves,
It reaches port at last.
A cheering crowd in banners waves—
"The Leader’s here!" they blast.

A crowd? Or just a mindless mass?
A leader? Or a brute?
No doubt, the ******* rule the class,
While sheep stay dumb and mute.

And so it was, and so it stays,
The cycle spins again.
Now dreadnoughts change in modern days—
Yet worse are those who reign.

The Overton-lit windows shine,
Far worse than war and strife.
Deceit in megatons refines—
And drags us down from life.



---------------------



The Industry of Nonsense and Stupefaction

Nonsense feeds the foolish mind —
Industry of modern kind.
BEASTS need mobs without a thought,
Better yet—an idiot lot.

Stupefaction leads the way,
First — the home in its decay,
Like a chain that pulls along,
Then the school — the BEASTS’ foul song.

Through the STENCH their voices spread,
Till it rots the soul and head.
Day by day, the grip is tight—
Soon, we’ll rot away in blight.



---------------------



Cataclysms Exist to Sweep Away the Infernal

Revolutions stand in vain —
Hell on Earth will still remain.
Only storms of fire and flood
Save the Soul through ash and blood.

Cycles passed—yet Earth is still
But a prison for the will.
Countless souls, corrupt and weak,
Perished in the purge we seek.



---------------------



Methods of Rashist War and Propaganda

Onward limps the maimed to fight!
Won't comply? Then face the night.
TV blares its twisted call—
"Volunteers"—a countless thrall!



---------------------



A bullet’s blind,
A lie — like mind.
Both will tear
The thoughtless bare.



---------------------



The Nature of This Little War

It’s simple: charge ahead once more,
If madhouse minds still yearn for war.
The "nation," almost to a man,
Fits well within this darkened plan.

A tragic farce, a grim display—
"Rose from its knees"—in filth to stay.



---------------------



Division

The "nation"—rabble, lost in haze.
A poet rising through the maze,
A writer—none in sight at all,
Just madness echoing its call.

Yet Consciousness may pierce the gray,
Defy, ascend—who finds the way?
A fool-born child, a mindless spawn—
And yet—a BLADE that cuts the dawn.



---------------------



Mind’s Sarcoma

Sarcoma—coma,
Rotten mind,
And filth is all that you will find.



---------------------



Pesticides, or Earthly "Paradise"

Poisoned apples, ripe and red,
Paradise—where all are fed.
Yet the fools, in blind delight,
Fight for scraps as if in fight.



---------------------



The Wretched Slave

A feeble mind, a shriveled soul,
His only pride—his wealth, his dole.
No greater dream, no higher call,
Just hoarding trash—that’s all in all.

And countless thralls like him arise,
The world is doomed before our eyes.
Yet graves won’t line the roads we tread—
This Armageddon cheats instead.



---------------------



Propaganda Drum

The drumbeats loud—
The law’s not proud.
Like CowID’s plight—
Fear, shame, and blight.
