  1. Hyrulian Hero

    HH's Literary Repository

    It was eighteen-eighty-something, Well before the west was won, In the twilight of December, Underneath the setting sun, That a boy by name of Nicholas, Sat waiting for the wicked night to come. On the evening chill would ride, A stranger from the pole, The arbiter of justice, For his immortal...

    HH's Literary Repository

    An amateur poetic adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's brilliant tale, "The Cats of Ulthar". * * * * * Should you happen on your travels, To visit by the by, The burg beyond the bridge, That spans the River Skai, The townsfolk's words you ought to heed, For it's no idle chat, That in the town of...

    I just realized I never moved this here. I loved this poem so I've got to make sure it's saved for posterity. ***** Propped on his elbows under a tree, A boy named Pip lies pouting, This summer is boring, find something to see! His romantic nature was shouting. And like any boy with idle...

    Time, like a stream, never ends, never stops, It ebbs and flows, it speeds and slows, Each moment we taste, a drop. Each drop joins the whole, a river takes shape, For each, it varies, as each it carries, Its course no man can escape. Deep fountains loft time from Din's red earth, As it rises...

    Heh, I'm glad somebody got a kick out of it. I thought my tastes might be too far removed from the ZD cool kids but I thought it was just the right amount of creepy. I was hoping to throw it up on the next writing competition so people would read it all the way through but it's seeming...

    Amongst the most uneventful of my years was that time I spent in the coastal mountains of Oregon Country. Nestled in a forested mountain draw which spilled out into the thunderous Pacific, the tiny enclave which I maintained for several years was home to the quietest spell of my life. The utter...

    June 3 I don't think she even knows I exist. Dale let me pretend to smoke his cigarette while she walked by on her way home. I'm sure I looked cool, I just can't seem to catch her eye. Dad is out for crab season again but before he left, he bought me a Wii U, one of the special Zelda ones with...

    At a certain point, the fishes begin to wheel circles above the clouds. Beneath the waves flash schools of birds; scales above and feathers below. The breeze from the north guides the herring downwind and the ocean current gently blows the albatross along its migration. Sunlight glides up from...

    Just wrote this one today. This song has always been kind of a joke but the tune is just so dang catchy...that's why he used it twice. So this is a parody of Funky Cold Medina. Fair warning, there are too many and too few syllables in many of the lines, non-rhymes, and ridiculous scenarios...

    The last of the coals in the hearth glowed dimly, And low and hollow the wind growled grimly, The moonlight bare on the smothering snow, Laughed silently thus in its phantasm glow. Clenched in the teeth of our pup was the bone, Of our holiday ham as he slept like a stone, 'Neath the withering...

    I still came back to visit every year but it felt like a lifetime had gone by since last I'd laid eyes on the place. I suppose it always feels that way. The picket fence was mostly still intact and I bumped my palm across every plank as I shuffled up to the gate. Wild grass and unpruned trees...

    I remember vividly the smell of the fetid water. The oily texture, the taste of decay…a boy’s first taste of the world, even before his mother’s milk. I plunged from a world of darkness into a world darker still. My first cries drowned in that tub of viscous slime, as much water as that woman...

    Like most of my writing these days, this one turned out to be a bit esoteric. Unlike most of my writing from the old days, I didn't intend for it to be. I put this bit out for a writing competition here on ZD-i so I was intentionally trying to make it more accessible than some of the things I...

    Remember that I welcome any and all thoughts, praise, criticism, correction, editing, conversation, angry faces, and fan fiction based of my work. Please don't hesitate to interpret anything I have on here, I would love that.

    It didn't take but a minute. Stopping to chip a bit of discolored stone from the wall, he holds it up to his eye to study it. Odd geometric shapes catch his attention, the jagged edges of the subject showing a bit too perfect in the light. The cleavage divides golden ratio by golden ratio...

    An ode to...what's an ode? The end of "hero mode"? Like Link, our mighty hero's fight in Ganondorf's abode? Yes, an ode could be a battle, butchering keese like cattle, our Hylian hero's brilliant eyes burning bright like Tatl. Or the moment a beast attacks just right, a hinox bomb or tektite...

    I wrote these up for my D&D group so they're not impossible to figure out but they could be useful to someone if...oh, I don't know, they're...say, running a game of D&D. The wind on my back should give me away, I'm not the real thing, I'm built for play. Ask me exactly why ze gridlocked...

    I really like the flow of this one, although it's not entirely subtle. What then, shall the light through silver sails strike, when the edge of the earth they meet? Billowed wide and bright as they are, will not the dark they meet? Though riggings lashed by mariners hands pull taught with...

    This one I wrote quite a few years ago, after undergoing my literary transformation from depressed kid to well-adjusted adult. Again, there are plenty of things about it that I would like to change but I owe it to the reader to deliver it in its raw and original form. The town's dark. It's...

    Thank you! I can't wait to finish up my Link's Awakening poem, you guys have been really encouraging!

    I was reading through some other poetry today and thinking to myself how the writers were great and talented but the subject matter didn't move me. As I considered it, I though to myself about how much the artists reminded me of myself in my formative years and the way I wrote back then. This...

    This is a poem I wrote in high school...man, I feel old. I like this one still, I would like to change some of it but I can't because it was a certain time of life. The Justice of Blade The slender blade rests upon the shelf, It's edge so blunt and dull, The blood is long since come and gone...

    I see you've won a few yourself!I think it would be fun to compete but unfortunately, my truly great works (and without being cocky, I do have a couple that I consider great) take FOREVER to write. For instance, I've been in the middle of an epic poem detailing Link's journey in Link's Awakening...

    A second movement of Oracle haiku, this time for OoA. A sweet song carries, Draws creatures both great and small, And pure hearts and dark. Time is fragmented, Trees turn to seeds once again, And seeds ask questions. The rise of black spires, Generations passing by, Converse with the dead...

    I've stored my writing on other Zelda-themed sites but so many of them are devoid of active participants that I've been thinking I need to find a new place to store my writings. This seems like an active community (plus I've had my eye on it for years) so hey, I'm going to set up a cot here and...
