Coyotes take their share of mottled fur
As I have done, if only to be sure
Of keeping hidden their otherwise pure-
ly naked little hides.  Of any more
I shall refrain from speaking, lest some cur
Doth try to defame with a sweet-faced lure.

Music is to my mind the strongest lure
Making a strong second or third of fur
Related things, such as my idle cur-
iosities about the fandom.  Sure
I could investigate these questions more
Directly, but not with the process pure.

I don't wish to appear as one whose pure
Intent is to find a way to just lure
Interesting tidbits of fact out - I'm more
Than happy having a second skin: fur.
However, I can't help but laugh, I'm sure
You see, when one builds their own sepul-cur. (sp)

I feel I build one myself, O damned cur
That I be to decide to write a pure
Traditionally formed intro post.  Sure-
ly there's a better form more fami-lure (sp)
And better-suited to keeping this fur
Articulate, and not relying more..

On cliches and elipses.  I just more
Have wanted to do this since that one cur
(A Red Blackmouth, I believe) shed its fur
On my typewriter.  It was a pure
Mess, but it gave great inspiration.  Lure-
ning (sp) how to write it was a pain, be sure.

And on the other things you can be sure
Of, the first is this: I tend to do more
Out of sheer amusement than of the lure
Of benefit from its completion.  Cur-
iously, I've found this to produce pure-
ly positive results.  I am a fur.

To emphasize, I am a fur, even if I'm sure I find as much amusement as enjoyment within the group.
My intentions are pure, and to find out more, feel free to contact me.
I apologize to any curs out there for practically blaspheming your name, as I have no desire to lure out drama - I like people.  Really.

Right, so I had way too much time on my hands, and nothing really to say.  And most of what could be said, I didn't get in above anyway.  I'm an older member, registered first in something like 2002.  A coyote, a beginning musician in the world, choosing to play, of all things piano, and playing, of all styles, jazz/fusion.  I think this is supposed to doom me to a life of drugs and rehab with no money, except from teaching 7-year old to play three-note songs with about as much musical merit as a cherry-bomb in a euphonium.  I love it enough to try, regardless of that reality, for all other parts of it, and the pure thrill of playing.  I'm a bookworm when I have the time, currently reading C.S. Lewis' Cosmic Trilogy, in the middle of Perelandra.  George MacDonald's my favourite author.  I like role-playing games when the people are good (Werewolf: The Apocalypse is my favourite), and board games are much fun with the right people.  I either over-think something to non-action, or act/speak without thinking at all.  I'm also nervous, and needlessly self-critical.  I really don't know any/many of you, but now you know more than you need to know.

Welcome back! It's certainly a bit different to try to be poetic about one's return. Wink
 
Werewolf: the Apocalypse was my favorite RPG. I still have several books for it, too. Smiley
 
See ya around!

Not a bad piece for getting your point across, and rhyming everything with 'fur'  (or 'cur', or 'lur', if you prefer.)  : )  Makes one feel as if they've stepped into Dr. Seuss's world, and indeed an interesting way to announce your return.

I had to double-check it was you; you've had that old avatar for so long that it seemed odd to see you with a new one.  Did you draw it?

Welcome back, mate.

Ssargon:
Intricacy not necessary, though a haiku or limerick would have been cool.  It's all in fun. Shades

Ben:
How else to return?  I expect to take another few years to get over that 100-post hurdle again, might as well start with a bang of sorts.  Seven posts rolled into one. Cool
Despite having no hope of playing it again any time soon, I've still been slowly amassing the books in whatever cheap way presents itself.  But despite no hope, what hope is there shall prevail!  ("The pictures are pretty.")

LS:
Sestinas are a curse everyone should be subjected to at some point in their life.  If they weren't so long, I'd make it a point to write more posts in the form, though possibly without rhyming, or trying for some kind of iambic pentameter.  I don't think either are essential to the structure.
I decided on a near-universal avatar change a few days before the old forum went down - it felt like a good time for change.  Sad to say, I didn't draw this one (my visual-type artsy attempts are not meant for this world, or the human psyche).  If you're interested, though, it does have a full version out there: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/580306/.
