How To Build A Poem

building a poem is like setting a mousetrap
or digging a hole
the right tools are needed
you need a mind like grace
and a heart of heat
to melt away your barriers
sleight of hand
cold of foot
are required
like strength
to build a building


land of lines
are rejected from the mind
to the page
the thick fibers hold thoughts together
and bind ink to pulp
and pulp to ink
each gap as deep as a hole
but as dangerous as a mousetrap
yet as shallow as silk
keeping rain and age away
till the end is near
that
is how you build a poem

The Titanic
There was a big ship called Titanic
the passengers all screamed in panic
the ship was sunk
for the captain was drunk
it was to late to call a mechanic

There goes another poem, a limerick.  Rhyming scheme aabba (if you know what I mean).

  1. I don't know rhyming schemes, but I like this limerick! Clever! How long did it take for you to do this?

  2. Would you autograph a copy of your poem? I like it.

Rich

Today I met Rich, one of my friends dad's.  It's really awesome.   Just for the record, he told me to write this.  He is very handsome guy.  I know you think this is weird, but bear with me.   P.S. I'm not trying to offend anybody. P.P.S. I just turned ten on april twelfth.  Oh Ya.  I got a GoPro ( GoPro ), a double bass peddle (for drums [ double bass ]), art supplies, a subscription to the stone soup magazine ( Stone Soup ),  a journal, a $50 gift card to Amazon ( Amazon ), a $25 dollar gift card to Barnes&Noble ( B&N ) , a Hat Trick (also for drums [ Hat Trick ]), and rollerblades.

Caw!, Caw! (American Crow) A.K.A. Birdwatching

     I have recently gotten into birdwatching.  I've already seen a bunch of birds this spring.  I like birdwatching because it is very relaxing.  I love how I hear them singing outside my window. I also like their slender build, and especially how their wings fold up.  Most birds I can identify right away, like the Brown Headed Cowbird, or the American Robin, but their will always some mystery bird that I don't have the time to identify so I let it slide.  I have noticed this bird that has often been flying around in our field that I haven't gotten a good enough look at so I don't know what it is.  I think it lives in tree close to the field.  It's really nagging me.      I have three birding guides.  'The Peterson Field Guide To Birds Of North America', 'Florida birds' (I don't live in Florida, so I don't use this one so much.), and 'Vermont Birds'. The Peterson one has all the birds that hav...

BONE

There is a really cool graphic novel series called Bone .  It's really good.  There are eleven books.  Two of the books aren't exactly in the series, Rose and The Bone Handbook .  They are all done by Jeff Smith.  One of my friend's has met him.  He says Jeff is really nice.  The last Bone  book came out a few years ago.  He is starting to make a new series called Quest For The Spark .  It isn't a graphic novel but a novel.  Jeff Smith is illustrating  it and it's written by Tom Sniegoski.  I've read all the Bone 's and I just got the first Quest For The Spark  book and it's really good. If you like magic and fantasy this is the book for you.   > Bone > Quest For The Spark (:{)
