Hi guys! i have to write a piece of poetry describing a certain kind of hell, and mine will be a speedcubing hell! (we just read inferno by Dante, so we kinda sorta related this project to it) So, i wanted to see what you guys think of my writing! (i'm sorta doing this on the spot, so PLEASE do give advice! It's in terza rima, or dante's rhyme scheme in inferno: ABA BCB CDC etc.)
Just a part that I wanted to include (I DO NOT IN ANY WAY MEAN TO OFFEND THE REFERENCES IN THIS EXCERPT):
This is where the cheaters reside,
Since cubing is somewhat a game of chance,
They peeled off the stickers with excessive pride.
In competition, one gets 15 seconds to take a glance
At the cube, and once they're done,
their fingers do their little dance.
With speed like Feliks, second to none,
The colors like soaring songbirds fly,
And when they're finished, the war is won.
But these people, I don't know why,
Like Matyas here, faking his speed
Seem not to want to try.
Matyas here, had the need
To fake a world record blindfold solve,
and all of the warnings he did not heed,
Made the issue unable to resolve,
and destroyed his career, once and for all,
And Matyas, sadly, failed to evolve,
And that is why he shall eternally bawl,
Unable to open his tearful eyes.
His sinful use of them in his cubing life
Has brought him here, to his ultimate demise.
Please leave feedback!
Thanks,
Aaron
