This week's new theme is to write a poem about your favorite animal.
You can write anything that is about your favorite animal... anything that seems "poetic" about your animal is great :)

Pouncing,
Running,
Biting,
Clawing,
Playing,
Hissing,
Mini tiger,
Purring,
Sleeping,
Sunning,
Begging for a bite of your dinner,
Sleeping with you at night,
Keeping you company through bleak winter afternoons,
And cool spring mornings,
And hot summer afternoons,
And chilly autumn nights,
Your BFF-
CAT.
I wrote this based on my cat, but please note that while she does tend to be very playful and we call her Tiger, she does not (usually) bite us, claw us, or hiss at us. She is a VERY good kitty.

Dazzling white flawless fur
Ruffling through the chilling breeze
Her ice blue eyes blink once
And her dark eyelashes flutter
She rockets onto the frozen snow
Her tongue hanging loose,
Panting
Her glistening sharp teeth
Clench tight,
Waiting
POUNCE.
(It's about a snow leopard.)

Here's Lottie's poem:
Panther
Watching you from far above,
Looking at you without love;
Getting ready to pounce-
BANG!
Shot dead,
Nevermore will he kill.
I just wanted to let you know that I tasted my first venison tonight in the form of venison hamburg (chopped venison). It was really good, and fresh too; my uncle actually shot the deer this fall. ;S Kinda weird...

Twilight falls
White eyes appear and
A black paw creeps out of the shadows
And into the darkening burnished light
I don't know: CaptainRead helped me with this one by adding to the poem on a thread that I started. I like how it sounds...

Panda Poem
Black and white fur
Black circles around
Glistening dark eyes.
Lives in the tall bamboo forests
Climbing up tall green stalks
Emerging from the ground.
Furry and big
Beautiful creatures.
All paws on the ground
Looking up at the
Clear blue sky.
My favorite animal is a panda, so this is my poem honoring the giant panda!

The new theme for this week is to write a poem about your mornings, afternoons, or evenings using the five senses. Describe your mornings, afternoons, or evenings in the five senses: sight, taste, smell, touch, and hear. Please pick ONE (morning, afternoon, evening) only!

In the morning,
At the break of dawn,
I can hear
The bluebirds' song.
In the morning,
When the earth is waking,
I can smell
Coffee and bacon.
In the morning,
When the clouds are high,
I can feel around
For my alarm clock, with a sigh.
In the morning,
When I look at my window with a stare,
I can almost taste
The sweet, fresh air.
In the morning,
When the breeze whistles in the trees,
I can clearly see
The sun smiling,
Down at me.
(February 17, 2014 - 11:42 am)
In the morning,
I hear my alarm clock ring.
I open my eyes
And look out the window
And see the pink sky as the sun still rises
High above me.
I quickly dress,
And touch my warm fleece blankets as I pull neatly make my bed.
I wash my face,
And feel the cold water splash my face,
Finishing the task of waking me up.
I smell breakfast cooking,
So I rush downstairs to eat.
Mmmm, these muffins taste delicious! ;P
I quickly finish eating,
Brush my teeth,
And start school.
Mornings are my favorite time of day!

Here's Lottie's poem on the theme afternoon.:
In the afternoon,
I hurry home from school,
While looking at the beautiful mountain range in which I live.
In the afternoon,
I taste the after-school snack that mom makes me
And sometimes share it with my BFF (you know her as Mag Fan lol ;D).
In the afternoon,
I touch the old, old elm trees in my backyard,
And sit under them while I do my homework,
And listen to the bluebirds sing
From their perch high above my head.
All this happens in my afternoons.
