Lojban Poetry

[kozmikreis]

Do we have a Lojban poet in our midst who is willing to write a small
piece? It would be for an inscription on a fictional relic.

For an idea of the kind of content I'm after please refer to Tolkien's
epigraph:

"Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne,
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie,
One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them,
One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them,
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie."

Thanks!

If no one has offered yet, I'm willing to take a crack at it. Two
of my lojban limericks appeared in the movie "Conlang"

gejyspa, We'd be delighted. and so far, no one has offered to help.

I have an idea of what needs to be on the inscription, in line with the plot me and koz are developing. So it'd be great.

For extra kudos it'd be highly desirable if it included all the Lojbanic phonemes.

Even more points if you can make it not only rhyming poetry, but for a [maybe rough] English translation of it to rhyme too.

Thank you!

I'm not a poet per-se but if you want something short and proverb-like, I would very much like to try doing it...

[kozmikreis]

Yes please, more is better, there'll be several places we'll want poetry and proverbs to appear.

It's World Poetry Day on the 21st - poets - get some Lojban poetry out there :-)

   So, what's the idea of what needs to be on it?
