2. A POEM ABOUT A TREE
There stands the solemn lonely tree
Standing tall and proud
“Why don’t you blossom?
You’ll be no longer alone”
But tree never responded
Nor did it blossom, no
But the somlem lonely tree saw there
Standing tall and proud.

3. Limerick
There once was a teacher named Ed.
No one understood what he said.
He would teach the class,
And none of them would pass.
So surly they wished him dead!

4. Ode to nature
The grass is always so green.
How does it make itself look so keen?
And the dirt that gives life,
Even if struck by a knife.
That is because nature is a beautiful thing,
Hell sometimes it makes you want to sing.
Just the sight of a flower
Can give you an equal amount of power.
But nature is being destroyed.
It might as well be hit by an asteroid.
It’s enough to make some cry
But more importantly, it makes em want to try,
Try to save nature from ourselves
So that soon there will be a home for the elves.

5. The daily battle
Yet again I start my daily battle.
It is me versus me.
The inner me and the outer me.
The inner me is the one who wants to show
who I really am,
While the outer me is the one who just sits
down silently.
The battle begins and in a flash the outer me
wins.
So the inner me is yet again left to pick up the
broken pieces of glass
While the outer me is sitting there…silently.

6. There was once a raindrop.
This raindrop flew down from the sky.
It rolled down hill after hill,
Until it found another raindrop.
Before a word could be said between the two
The first raindrop absorbed the second,
And continued on its way,
As if it never cared nor acknowledged the second.
