Premium Member William is onto something
"Hell is empty and all the devils are here” - William Shakespeare What is this hell upon us that we live in? What lawless times must we endure when fools abound and we can’t win? Where they come from we’ll never know for sure. My best guess is that hell is empty and they’re here loose in numbers plenty ~ AP: 3rd...

Premium Member Avariciousness of King William B
Avariciousness of King William B was weird The restlessness of his marauders feared His greediness was well-known in his day Many were dead, so he could collect right away His coffers were filled up by the blood of others Corpses on the fields were many fathers and brothers William’s disregard for the masses and cupidity Were rivaled by his lack of empathy...

Premium Member Creature of Doom
What creature is this that cometh near His luggage filled to the brim with fear Crushing our lives, crushing our beliefs O whence for me shall bring only griefs What of the men whom now weep? What of the woman buried alive in their sleep? What of the children who once stood brave? Their minds controlled their souls enslaved The baneful trumpets sound...

Premium Member William Lewis, 22nd Century Explorer
William Lewis woke up one day to see a jungle, frightening and dark, not knowing how he had arrived there or which way he should embark. He heard the stirrings of strange creatures in every cranny and nook. There was fear, violence, and aggression in all directions his eyes took. In trepidation, he wondered, "where am I?", as he...

Mr William Landgrebe
An old friend came to town today, and we took a walk down memory lane. We reminisced about the olden days, about how much the times had changed. How much we’ve grown since long ago, how time slipped in the blink of an eye. We can never get it back it seems, no matter how hard we want to try. We talked about...

William Herebert translations
“What is he, this lordling, that cometh from the fight?” by William Herebert, 14th century translation by Michael R. Burch Who is he, this lordling, who staggers from the fight, with blood-red garb so grisly arrayed, once appareled in lineaments white? Once so seemly in sight? Once so valiant a knight? “It is I, it is I, who alone speaks right, a champion to...

Strayed Sheep - William Holman Hunt
Straying away from the straight path in search of sumptuous grass, Me and my friends meander to the mountain top on a crisp clear sunny day, The cottony white clouds mirror our soft tufts of wool, The sea is calm today, unlike us, who are restless; Raff rests his weary head on Walter, Sophie and Sara lay down side...
