THOUGHTS
REALLY?
I sit dainty they say
Pondering...
With a bow upon my chest
Rumbling
Ooohh the rumbles
They love the rumbles
But...
Should I?
They patter round an' round
Mocking me
Since they know their fear is gone
And so are my swords
My spotted Armour shields me
From the daggers of the cold
But also betrays me
To the eyes of man
I could kill them...
Play perhaps?
Yesssss
Only a bit
They taunt me
My helmet's horns
THEY PLAY WITH THEM!
They think i'm a toy....

THE GAME
A train wreck of nerves
Stumbles in
Pat Pat Pat
The wolf king
He left
His now destroyed home
Alone
Last of six
Or so he thought...
Wet and hungry
He offers a link
2 links
In fact
Both broken
By a lion
And his arrows
He thought he was the last
5 remain

HAD COLLIN
I rummage
In my chest of Legos
For the smallest fragments
Numerous
I snatch
In both hands
And collide them
My hands,
And the fragments
In less than an instant
New bricks for foundation
Are discovered
Though quickly the are gone
Scrambling
I search and investigate
The rug?
No...
Under the bed?
Neither...
Neither...
Where'd they go?
...
Humpf!
I'll just ask daddy Hadron for more...

These poems have no designated purpose but to be there and not suck. the first poem might seem so obvious until you see the picture. the art is a gateway for you guys to understand if you hadn't already. the title for that poem, I got from the look cats give you, when you start bothering them. right before the low grumble. The second poem is an Allusion the the book series game of thrones, book 3. it is understood extremely well if you have read the series recently. also, I might have forgotten to add some verses referencing the host of the marriage. The last poem is a personification of the Hadron Collider and the difficulty to discovering the Higgs Boson. It also, sort of brings me back to my early childhood.
Dear Francisco,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your poem, "THE GAME" because I have started reading the series as well. I actually didn't really understand it because I am only in the prologue of the second book, but anyways, I thought it was cool that you wrote about The Game of Thrones, because my original rough draft was about the first book. I liked the allusion you had to the Lanisters because it made me feel good to understand something in your poem. On a different poem,I agree with you about how cats get this certain look on their faces when you start to bother them, and I thought it was clever that you wrote about it. Thanks for your writing.

Dear Francisco,
ReplyDeleteI really loved your poem, "REALLY?" because it shows the distaste cats have for humans and how we blatantly miss it over and over. One line you wrote that stands out for me is "They patter round an' round
Mocking me" I think this is true because it shows the distate cats have and how they feel when we try playing with them. I do agree with you that cats really don't like being domesticated. Thanks for your writing. I hope to see what you write next time because you have a unique style.

Dear francisco,
ReplyDeleteI like your poem "THE GAME" because you give your own perspective on the Game of Thrones story. One line that stood out to me was "A train wreck of nerves Stumbles in Pat Pat Pat". I noticed this because your description of nervousness as a train wreck. I also like the following line "He thought he was the last 5 remain" because it is to the point. Thanks for your writing. I hope to see what you write next because you r writing is very fun to read.
