This really stupid delightful little poem were actually snarked by the original elite Godawful team.

Somber is thre Night
http://trekfanfiction.net/fanfic.php?f=00000000368
There is three verses, and this is the first.

Quote :
Somber is the night
Death leans to our right
Deadly weapons shell toward the black.
Terror is the name of the rack.

Nonsensical much?

Wow - 12 lines and only 6 rhyme. Makes me wonder: Is there a hidden meaning? Did the author get bored with his own poem and forgot about rhyming? Or did he feel so deeply with his supposed Bajoran poet, that he expressed his grief by not-rhyming?

Quote :

4 rack : here torture
8 soft : effeminate

Huh? Am I missing something?

I think those are supposed to be footnotes, indicating that by "rack" they meant "torture" and by "soft", "effeminate". Because the reader doesn't know what a "rack" is, or something. scratch

Yes. Or something. But why?

I'm guessing it's misguided pretentiousness--they think having footnotes is a mark of good poetry because that's what poetry has in textbooks?

I guess that's possible.
Or maybe it's supposed to be some Bajoran idiom that got lost in the supposed translation.

Along with half of the rhymes.
Why did he bother with rhyming in the first half at all?

Why is death leaning towards the right? He always struck me more as a liberal than a conservative.
