East Texas (Poem by Mark Borne)

Author's Note: How many of you actually understand exactly what I mean with every line of this poem? Actually, at that rate, how many of you even know what the fifth line means? xD

Lush green grass,
Sky full of stars;
Trees that grow and die,
Dark, bumpy back roads.
"That's what I like about Texas!"
The smell of a ranch,
Can't read the signs you want to.
There's no place like home,
And my home will always be,
East Texas.

    Man, this poem makes me want to go to East Texas! It's so...nastolgic for nothing i've experienced.

    Alright, i'm giving it a go:

    Lush green grass,
    Sky full of stars;
    Trees that grow and die,
    Dark, bumpy back roads.--These are all physical descriptions. No need to interperate

    "That's what I like about Texas!"--I would say this is just you expressing what you love about Texas (a bit too straight-forward) but you alluded to it being difficult. Maybe it's a quote from a family member. It makes me thing off a song (googled it, it is)

    The smell of a ranch,--either like animal ranch, or the salad dressing (i'm leaning towards the second)

    Can't read the signs you want to.--probably because you're with your family and they're go, go, go

    There's no place like home,--duh. it says it pretty clearly

    And my home will always be,
    East Texas.--You feel at home in east texas.

      Yes, those lines are physical descriptions

      xD Yes, it's the DQ theme song in Texas

      I'm leaning towards the first lol

      Or most of the signs are peeled and literally hard to read xD

      Yep!

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. And yet, in stories there is a Beauty unmatched by reality, A world that eventually Results in kindness and Peace and excitement. And being in those worlds, If only for a mere moment, Is my hobby. If only I could Be the character in the ...

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...
