So once again my school is requiring me to write a poem as an assignment. This time a villanelle. So since i’m a huge nerd who can’t come up with anything better i decided to do one on the sangheili, specifically Thel 'Vadam.
in case you’re curious what the last poem school made me do was.
Here it is
The will of the prophets
An instrument dishonorably shamed.
Defeated by a heretical race.
And rightly awarded all of the blame.
Stripped of title, branded and greatly pained.
Burned and marked, eternally a disgrace.
An instrument dishonorably shamed.
Burned within his chest, forever engrained.
Colossal failure from a hate misplaced.
And rightly awarded all of the blame.
Once an honored warrior, greatly famed.
Hefted away by the jailors embrace.
An instrument dishonorably shamed.
Thel ‘Vadam, a fleet master brought to shame.
An example for any future disgrace.
And rightly awarded all of the blame.
Named arbiter, his honor is reclaimed.
Leading factions of peace among his race.
An instrument dishonorably shamed.
And rightly awarded all of the blame.
