Apr. 14, 2006 - A Poem
I would like to follow up my poetry contest with a poem that I wrote. Alas, it does not have anything to do with cats, but I like it, and so do all of the other people I showed it to. Here it is.
A stream bed is protected
By the water flowing by,
The earth is protected
By the atmospheric sky,
The plants are protected
By the cool when it is nigh',
Young are protected
By their mother near by,
But only God can protect
The humans you and I.
I wrote this quite a while ago, and I was very pleased with myself. I like to write poems, funny poems, serious poems, any kind of poems. They just have to rhyme because I can't follow a poem very well unless it rhymes.
By the way, isn't rhyme a weird word?
Anyway, the closest success I got to in writing a funny poem was a limerick. Alas! woe is me, I can't remember how it goes. However, I do remember that when I showed it to my mother, she laughed SO hard. (Yes, it was very embarassing. I had thought it funny but not that funny! Please remember that this took place some time ago.) At the time my mother was the coordinator of the homeschool support group, and she put it on the back of the newsletter. *Gasp!*
Yes, yes, that's okay. There, there, it wasn't that bad. Of course, I just had the idea that it was the first time I had ever been published! Hey, maybe it was a good thing! Right?
I want to encourage all of you out there to find the poet within you. Maybe you can get a limerick published at an early age too!
The second part of my post is dedicated to my brother Kekoa. No he didn't die. He is new at blogging and has never been tagged, so here is a tag made especially for him.
1. Are you capable of saving candy for any period of time.
If I make myself save it.
2. If so, what type of candy stays at the bottom of your stash for eternity?
Well, I still have some chocolate at the bottom of my box that has been there for, maybe two years.
3. What type of container do you contain sweets in?
A Hershey's tin.
4. Do you hide you delicious treasure, or do you trust your siblings enough to know thry would never dream of taking your lifelong savings!?
I wouldn't say it was hidden, but it is not where it can be seen!

LOL the funniest poem I ever wrote was a poem for poetry class (I hate following the rules, it restrains my creativity). It was a lymeric I THINK I don't remember, It was s'poused to be funny (I think, it was last year) It was 'bout a fat man, wiht a small hat and a large cat wiht tiny kittens wearing mittetn who got chased by an old dog wiht mites who was so smelly he made the fat man have a heart attac..I think....
I liked your poem pretty well, It was rather scientific for a poem though wasn't it? Oh, well poems can be scientific...I've read some scintific ones that were GREAT...but why am I saying this, I LOVE SCIENCE! MY FAVE SUBJECT MIGHT WANNA BE A SCIENTIST IS NOT A VETERANAIRIAN!!!!
lots of luv...,
