Winning Poems - Competition no 33: Write a poem using rhymes with a given word? Remember Me by Spades Master I hope someone remembers me when I die Fighting with honor, sheer pride in my eyes I joined the Corps, to be all I can be I lay down my life, so that others live free I’m a simple man, just a regular guy For love of country, didn’t have to ask why I followed my calling, to protect and serve A peaceful nation, is what we deserve Just pin my medals, across my chest Please tell my mama, I did my best Don’t worry ‘bout me, there’s no need to cry I’m now one with God, there’s no goodbye Current poetry writing competition Competition no 35 - Write a poem from the viewpoint of an animal (#5588130) Poem by Dot McGINNIS
Posted by squirly138 on 18 Mar 2024 at 6:15AM A polish legend tells the tale, Of tiny kittens, oh so frail. Along the rivers edge they chased, With butterflies they played and raced. They came too close to the rivers side, And thus fell in, their mother cried. What could she do but weep and moan? Her babies fate was yet unknown. The willows by the river knew Just what it was that they must do. They swept their graceful branches down, Into the waters all around. To reach the kittens were their goal; A rescue mission, heart and soul. The kittens grasped the branches tight, The willows saved them from their plight. Each springtime, since the story goes, Willow branches now wear clothes. Tiny fur like buds are sprung Where little kittens once had hung. And that's the legend so they claim, How pussy willows got their name. Ramblings of the claury
