Poem of my choice Limerick on “Old Owl” -

Fen

i

There was a wise, old owl Who lives up in tree He sat upon a branch So all the world he’d see.

He looked at a snake, He looked at a bee.

He looked at a mouse, But he winked at me!

A man with no hair There once was a man with no hair.

He gave everyone quite a scare.

He got some Rogaine.

Grew out a maine.

And now he resembles a bear.

Feelings I wonder why people have feelings.

But it all start from the beginning.

Love becomes lust. Hate becomes rust. Things stay on my mind all the times. I don’t speak on it. So don’t you reach for it.

Love is something to enjoy instead it hurts you like a bullet in your heart Your lucky that you never had that feeling But also it hurts you more that you don't find love Love is a feeling inside that makes you feel like another person And it makes you as a different person Why do life have this feeling The feeling of loving a person But itś a trap that don´t let you go They tell you to love someone To fall in love like you never had a feeling in your life Instead of doing that………

AN Alien’s path Far in space on a planet called Lazzerith

Sp

Lives an alien named 123rf or smith.

Smith had a good life, but not in is eyes.

He saw things bad and dangerous that will be his demise So he left his planet and flew into space So he can find himself a new race.

Smith went to other planets that was worst than the other.

The people tied him up and made him suffer.

Planet after planet they all was the same He started to miss his own planet and felt as if he was to blame.

Smith sat in his ship as he started to fall apart.

He started to think that home is with the heart.

Nonsensical poem

I went upstairs to the basement.

I got my lawnmower and i cut the trees.

I filled my gas tank with water.

I jumped on a pool and landed on a tree.

I looked at the moon that is made of cheese.

Arkansas My personality always has to be tame, everybody else has to be the same.

Not fully but what i seek is fame, if you ask me everybody else is lame.

Why you gotta be so boring, walking on you need some new flooring.

Working hard while all you others are snoring.

Great poem skills I do claim.
