The only real rules are:
1) ~That the word "skeleton" or "skeletons" must appear in either line 2 or 3.
2) ~The first line must have 4-6 syllables
3) ~The second line must have 7-9 syllables
4) ~The third [final] line must have 4-6 syllables.
5) ~Title optional
Ideally some reference to either a season of year or a Chapter in Baldur's Gate should be included.
1. -WHILE COLLECTING 10 SCALPS ON THE BEREGOST ROAD
Suddenly two dead wolves
Surrounded by Skeletons,
~WTF, Not too shabby!!
2. -CONVERSATIONS OF JAHEIRA AND IMOEN IN NASHKEL
"Capt. Bragg's Sword -FOR SALE!!
At such a price?!?" "-No wonder he's
Talking to skeletons...!"
CHEERS!!

Knives in the wind
Many (un)natural twenties
Killed by skeletons
Had a bone to pick
With Firebead Elvenhair, now
I'm a skeleton.
Minsc walked down the road
When suddenly, skeletons!
Boo went for the eyes
A fellow ranger
Using a far worse pet name
Struck the skeletons
Along came Aerie
Turned skeletons by the score
And threw Boo a heal
Fairskin, no Stoneskin
The skeletons swarmed the elf
And tore her apart
Minsc burst into rage
Slew every last skeleton
Avenged his slain witch
And Drizzt sucked so hard
He killed zero skeletons
Slashing weapons lol
His game, greatest of warriors
Skeletons want flesh
Wolves gnawing a skeleton
Reload time again!
Brown leaves and cider
Old friends knocking at the door
Skeletons are here
Promotion
My Great Aunt Minnie
Was a skeleton for years
Now she's a zombie
Dust and Ash
Army of the dead
Skeletons are everywhere
This is my boom-stick
Strange, this sudden exit.
They came. They saw. They saved us.
No beers for skeletons.
Oh no, what the hell
I wanted piles of dust
not skeleton army
Animate dead, favoured tool,
Skeletons swarm,
Skeletons attack,
Mindlessly they follow him,
All torn asunder,
A village razed,
Town 'n' city fear crazed,
In undeaths path,
The dead he raised,
To serve his purpose, pulse-less,
Slaves to be used,
A dark abode,
He wished and bone builteth,
Pyramidal harth,
Delighted arcane,
Sparked from fingers aged,
Power consumed,
They all bowed down,
To the Mummies undead crown,
The living laid low,
Millennia pass,
Boredom and time encroached,
Pyramid prison,
Paladanic ruse,
Formed perfect excuse,
To escape running!
And still he roams,
A Gnome dead but not withered,
Sneer transfixed,
Mummy died to rule,
Wishes armageddon to,
Civilization.
...
Mwahahah!
So today while slaying
Skeletons were found playing
Wait where is Coran
Solving every problem
With Skeleton slaves
Words prove mightier than swords
Skeletons no more
No servants save for skeletons
Still, Shar guides my hand
For it was a warded lock
Used skeleton key
Saemon's next ship might just have
A skeleton crew
mellow light of the Friendly Arms Inn
Oh crap, the light was from..."CHARNAME's hand disintegrates"
