Moonlapse Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 Some excellent poems were submitted by members during our writing contest: http://www.unrv.com/book-review/matt-gallivan.php http://www.unrv.com/book-review/adam-yuhasz.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrrhus Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 Some excellent poems were submitted by members during our writing contest: http://www.unrv.com/book-review/matt-gallivan.php I am assuming this came fourth from the "Fourth Place!" sign at the top, although I am amazed that something this good could come so low down!! I am wondering what on earth managed to beat it to the 3rd, 2nd and 1st spots!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus Pilus Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 Unfortunately the judges aren't big poetry guys... otherwise based on popular opinion, the poems would've finished much better. Alas.. if we ever do this again I think we will use some community input for the prizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrrhus Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 Perhaps some kind of vote for the poems? That would at least be democratic So when's the next competition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost_Warrior Posted May 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 ok, here you go To Caesar, From a Legionary O valiant one who rose to free your people Through conquests far and wide Acts of valor unparalleled To stand the tests of time It is you to whom I give my life My victories are yours Your will is my duty I can have no other Your love and your causes are mine O fateful day The ultimate betrayal Trusted friends and Romans Spilled your blood And took what you spent so long to build Ripping it in two They turned friend against friend Brother against brother All for the power They deserve not to hold And for you I weep I can do no other As my love, my cause, my duty Stain the ground red With your blood they spilled In a last valiant effort to serve you My blood is spilled on the streets of Rome The city you loved will forever remember you In the hearts and minds of her people For you are a legend copyright2005Lost_Warrior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacertus Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 Well done! I can do translation into Russian? Is it possible? Are you agree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost_Warrior Posted May 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 you may translate. I would be very interested to see the results as for if its possible, well...I don't know russian so I cannot tell you for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost_Warrior Posted May 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 By the way...can anyone here translate it into latin? I'd be very interested (i don't know a word of latin aside from scientific terms and that in my sig...or I would do it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrrhus Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 You might be able to find a Latin translator online or something, although the accuracy of some of them is apparently very poor. Perhaps a University website might be best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
