5) Monkey.

The life of a monkey suits me just fine
Full of mischief, from top, to this tail of mine
As I jump from tree to tree I scream with joy
And a rock, a twig, or even a leaf can make a fun toy
Though my life is not without worry, nor without regret
There's one aspect of my life that is easy to forget

You see, I am not a predator, and this makes me prey
Every night I wonder if I will wake up the next day
I sleep in the treetops with my family, my pack
Hoping safety in numbers will discourage attacks
But my lovely jungle does no longer stretch as wide
With each passing year, it's harder to find food, and hide

Our brothers in pants seek to take away our homes
We can only watch as the inevitable comes
The day when they have taken it all
So we sit in the middle, and watch the approaching walls
We fear these forests will never mend, and our home
As we await the inevitable end, a prison has become



This was supposed to be a happy poem, but somewhere along the way, it turned sad. Hope you don't mind.

Hunting with the pack we sense the prey,
We sneak up on it; it won't get away.
Right now there's no time to stray,
We will feast on warm flesh today!


.. sorry can't continue this right now, I tried but it just wouldn't sound good. I'm too tired, gotta let this (and myself) rest for a bit..

2) Cat

Why are you giving me that look?
The couch was like that when I got here, it's true!
And what about that mouse you took?
You threw it away, the gift from me to you!

You keep me fed, and I am grateful,
But sometimes you're just not very nice.
Is it because you are hateful?
Is that why you don't want my mice?

If only I could understand those words you say,
But I don't, I just understand the way it's said,
And I heard that you were angry, when you threw my gift away,
And that is why your precious couch paid.


Back when I lived at my parents' house, we had cats. Occasionally, they'd bring home mice. Of course, when my mom found dead mice on her kitchen floor, she'd get angry and disgusted. Obviously, the cats didn't understand what she said, or why she yelled. That's sort of what this is about.

10 crocodile

How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale!
How cheerfully he seems to grin,
How neatly spreads his claws,
And welcomes little fishes in
With gently smiling jaws!

10 Reindeer

Migrating

In winter, reindeer migrate, looking for the warmer forests of Scandinavia and Russia. They get together in groups numbering several hundred - and they don't mind walking 500 km and back !

I was making a picture of a night bird, but it turned into a ghost I'll try again soon.

We will feast on warm flesh today!

Moons later, I wander alone,
No place left for me to call home.
How I miss the pack, now gone and forever;
To found a new one is my only endeavor.

10 Rat

Alice

I look at her,
I smile.
That adorable face-
so wonderful,
so comforting.
She is my friend,
my best friend.
She is small,
but she has a big heart.
I look at her,
I smile.
Sometimes she's frisky.
Sometimes she's peaceful.
Sometimes she wrestles
with my hand.
Sometimes she sleeps
on my lap.
When she looks at me,
I smile.
When I look at her,
I smile.
Alice, my friend.
Alice, my pet rat.

How Doth the Little Crocodile" is a poem by Lewis Carroll which appears in his novel, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. It's recited by Alice in Chapter 2. It describes a crafty crocodile which lures fish into its mouth with a welcoming smile.

are you plagarizing or is this supposed to be a thread to post anything relational to these animals?

ONCE AGAIN, ALICE IS A PREWRITTEN POEM. I'm going through this here and they're very well known, both of them. Is this thread intended to be where we can post other artists works, or just our own.

Even if it was, he should've posted the source. I'd say it's plagiarizing.

@XSilentPhantomX
are you plagiarizing or is this supposed to be a post quoting Wikipedia?

ONCE AGAIN, THE UNBOLDED TEXT IS LIFTED FROM WIKIPEDIA. I checked to see if you were correct and you plagiarized too! Shame on you. Please cite your sources!


Now, onto the bigger issue. It appears the two poems posted by Cristalfox were plagiarized. The first is from Lewis Carroll. The second is from an 11 year old. Plagiarism is not cool. The Art, Music, and Writing forum is for your own original works. The opening post also stipulated that you must "[w]rite and create music and art and express it whit your favorite animal".

Reminder to all:

DO NOT PLAGIARIZE.

2) Cat

To My Cat
ABBCCB

My brother, my friend, my pet
You chill at home all day
while I, in school, am away.
I often have daydreams about you
what is it you possibly do?
while I am in school, away.

Sleeping, eating, sleeping
every day the same mundane way?
Simply sitting, staring at a still Jay?
'Til Rico comes a bothering you
Biting, tearing, hurting you
I wish I could help, but I'm still away.

Seventeen, old for a cat
You're stalked, hunted, as if prey
slower, teeth missing, always in dismay
I'm sorry my cat I always try
to help, if i'm around to hear you cry.
I will protect my cat, in any way.

We fight, we talk, we sleep together
You are seen by me all day
At night, on my bedside you lay
I love my cat, i love you
I love my cat, i love you
*cough* in a non homosexual way.

meh...lol i tried...gunna take some practice

I will write a Haiku if that is ok. On the subject of a bird.

4)Bird

Oh bird,oh bird,why
Do you soar in the blue sky
I hope you find joy

In your quest to eat
The worm from the soft brown earth
That you catch with ease

Then you feed your young
With the remains of it's flesh
Then go chirp,chirp,chirp.

That was the first poem I posted in this forum. What do you guys think?
