Lone Fox (Poem by Mark Borne)

Image
By
Sometimes I looked out at the endless sea,
Wondering what was left here for me.
The tears began to sting my eyes,
As if I was one who at sad sights cries.
But then I got up as my eyes fell upon a lone fox,
At that moment, the whole world seemed to fit in a box.
Funny how even the simplest of creatures,
Can prove to be the most relaxing of features.

 Author's Note: This poem was inspired by the writing prompt on ShaePoems' blog.

    I like this one! It's style is very different than what you normally do, and it's a fun change of pace.

    Do you normally write your poems in couplet form?

      The style definitely is different

      I'm not sure what that means, but I think "No" is a safe answer. Nothing about this poem is normal for me, except that it begins with a rather depressed mindset and ends on a cheerful note

      Lol. Except for it being bipolar. You are like two completely different and contradictory people mushed into one

      And the bipolar part could be described as going from depressing to cheerful xD

      In any case, I do feel this is one of my better non-funny poems. And I'm glad to have been able to give my favorite creatures a place on this blog :D

      For those who don't know, you should have a post explaining what is the deal with the ant. XD

My Talent (Poem by Mark Borne)

By
Many places, I've come to know, People of different cultures, too; They all have their thing, Something that they can do, But not me, not yet, My talent has yet to show up. I write and write, plots And twists and poems and Even the rare favorite of The readers I've lured And ensnared in my blog. Yet deep inside, I force myself To write the words that meet The lines of text and thoughts. Then I turn to run, and Find the wind upon my face As I escape my life, But it always catches up, And the worries I face Distract me, making the Outside world obsolete. Even in reading, I find Myself buried in stories That show misfortune in the Lives of fictional characters, Directly only to do as they Were told by the writer.

If only I could Be the character in the ...

Nexus Mad Libs

By
I assume most of you are familiar with what Mad Libs are. Basically, you're given a bunch of blanks to fill in, and you do so without knowing what the story is. Each blank has a part of speech labeling it, and that blank needs something that fits the part of speech. For example: Adjective: ________ --> Adjective: Explosive In the end, we usually have a hilarious end result that makes no sense whatsoever. One example is this (which is a real result I got once with my siblings): "Another way to help you fall asleep faster is drinking a nuclear glass of warm vinegar ." First, let's go over some rules. Obviously, keep it family friendly. This still goes for all blog content. Do not submit two words in a row. Submit one, and when someone else does one, you may do another. Submit through comments. That'll make it easier for me to assemble the final result. The category is Medieval Heroes . Here are the blanks: Adjective: Constipated (Kyra) Per...
