I AM SO JOINING

great! I look forward to reading it!

I still need to look into how to actually write poetry because I haven’t done it in school yet, otherwise I would totally join.

Will a haiku count?

Maybe, but Flamefrost, can you do me a favor and assign me a random character from TGH for me to write a poem about? (Is that cheating?)

Dragon haikus do count, but since they're only three lines could you do two?

and Cass, you can write a poem about the prophecy of the black foals (I want to make it harder than just writing about a pegasus)

Dragon this would be an example:

The moon is a lamp

That shines in the midnight air

Reflecting the Sun.

Apollo launched

To the moon, Armstrong took the

First step on its face.

(so there are two haikus about kind of the same thing)

and I know that "launched" could be one syllable

Ohhhh thanks Flamefrost!!

Does it have to rhyme?

I'd like it to rhyme, but do you know what a rhyme scheme is? I'll set it up with one of my poems, Rainstorm:

Rainstorm

The crack of the thunder, A

The splash of the rain. B

Cleaning off the windowpane. B

The clouds are black, C

The lightning is white. D

As the storm rages on E

Throughout the night. D

In the morning, I awake. F

And see that the storm was not a mistake. F

The grass was so green, G

The roses, so clean! G

The sky was so crisp and so blue, H

I wish I could have shared it with you! H

It's basically the pattern of the rhyming words, labeled in alphabetical order, for instance "rain" and "windowpane" rhyme, so I gave them the same letter. You don't have to label yours, but what I was trying to say with this whole thing is that the rhyme scheme doesn't have to be A-A-B-B-C-C-. . .

Ohhh ok sounds good

Every one-hundred years

A shimmering star arises

For it is full of surprises

A special mare is chosen

And that special mare, on one special night, bores a black foal, full of incredible light

Once a year old

This black foal is overtaken

By that shimmering star, and his destiny is shown.

Silver, or gold..

Does this work?

That's great Cass

that is really good! and it does count

Cass I honestly want to share this with my teachers, should I give credit to "Cassandra" or "CassTucker1" or "Anonymous", etc.? and if you do want it to be your name, I would like to put the last initial

Thanks guys! And you can say Cassie B.

Or Cassandra B., either works

I decided to write a poem not a haiku
