Migrating Dusk
By Jonathan E
The splash of moon across their backs,
Not venturing from the beaten track.
Their formation wanders to and fro,
Not wishing to be caught by the driving snow.
Wings go up, wings go down;
Calls fill the night all around.
I see them disappear into the dusk,
I want not to look away,
But I know I must.
Zebras
By Jonathan E
Horses of Africa calmly graze,
As they have done for many days.
Their zigzag patterns make them unique,
Opposite colors, soft and sleek.
Thank you for the tip! Cool name btw! :)
Ooh! I look forward to reading it! One tip though; do one series at a time or it will get all jumbled up and confusing!
Thank you Wispiflower! I look forward to writing some fan fiction. :)

Not so well, my computer wont let the auto save work, and it kept reloading the page at random times, a few times I had to rewrite whole chapters. I might go back to it latter, but for now I gave up
really well actually
Speaking of writing, how are everyone's NaNoWriMo novels coming?
I know, but thanks for posting it
Its not mine but I know right? I wish I knew Bobbi Katz
That amazing Flamefrost
another poem, not by me, but I absolutely love:
The Breed You Need
By Bobbi Katz
If the dog you want has a pedigree,
Then the dog you want simply won’t be me.
My crisscrossed bloodlines could derail a train
So the kennel club treats me with disdain.
Are you someone who loves a mystery?
Consider the clues; unlatch my history!
I’m the best of this and the best of that
And “pedigree” soon will be so old hat.
If you want a dog with a heart that’s true,
Then I am the dog who is meant for you.
The breed you need is spelled M-U-T-T.
I’m a marvelous mutt, so please choose me.
ok nevermind
Oh... umm... I was asking Wispi
who are you asking Dragon? if ur asking me the answer is yes
Did you read the explanation I wrote on what a haiku is?
I'm not able to do poetry so I can't compete
Meh.... i can try, but it will probably not be a very good poem
I'll take on your challenge Flamefrost.
Oh ok lol
I'll explain later
Write a what Dragon?
No I'm not challenging you, but it would be cool if you tried
Lol, I can only write hicues
Me neither! Lol I actually tried the other day and it was so... Not poem worthy
Yeah... what am I saying? I can't write poems
What Jessica said. Are ya?
Are you challenging us to do this?
Back to the poetry thing, I wrote the zebra poem because I found a little section on writing your own poetry in the back of a book. The challenge was to write a poem about zebras (it didn't have to rhyme) without using the words zebra, black, white, or striped. That's what I wrote, and now I have a challenge that relates to that: write a poem about a robin without saying red, spring, robin, or worm.
Huh, I never thought about that.
Even their lips are black!
Yep, their muzzles and lower legs are black so it's the second one
Black with white stripes.
these are great!!
Useless Quiz Question:
If you were a zebra, would you be white with black stripes or black with white stripes?
Aw, that's to bad.
Yeah, I usually have a vision of how I want it to look. That is never produced.
Me too! I always get the wings and eyes wrong. Art is not my strong suit...
Jessica, I’m not great with facial expressions either
Well, I'm not sure how to explain it, but Robert Frost is. "All the fun's in how you say a thing."
I wish I could draw better. All of my stuff turns out looking weird. Like I can never get both eyes to have the same expression. I don't know how you guys do it!!
I love poetry, but i like drawing better. hehe
Those are really great Flamefrost!!!! I love writing poetry too!
OK
I can't even get any poetic ideas into one piece (+ I'm homeschooled), so I don't have any poetry
Thanks, but you shouldn't say you're terrible at it. Can you post one of yours to reply to this?
Those are really good. You have a true gift. I'm terrible at poetry!
So cool!!!!
Fyi, I didn't write these for the message board specifically, I wrote them like two or three years ago and just found them.
Cool
thanks, and yes these are mine
Wow
