Lone Fox (Poem by Mark Borne)

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.

  1. 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?

    1. 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

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

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

    4. 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

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

Would You Rather...? (#1)

These "Would You Rathers" are small, but they're meant to start debates. Debates, not arguments! Anyways, here's the first one: "In a mystery novel, would you rather have a friend by your side helping you while risking his/her own life... ...or would you rather have your friend safe at home counting on you to solve the mystery and come out safely?"

Nexus Mad Libs

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

Q/A With Shaly

This was bound to happen, like so much that the one that is probably next is I don't know... The Poet of Steel or Spitfire or Lady Knight, or just some other crazy. Plus, you guys know the drill. Mark's Addition : So...well...yeah, if anyone else wants to do one, let me know. Apparently, this is the thing to do on my blog right now, though I admit, I have no clue why.
