Birdcrabs 4 Ever

Good morning, people. How was your yesterday? I hope you still have all of your limbs. I still have mine but I might have left my brain in bed...Probably did. My yesterday was great, my neighborhood had a great big party at the pool and a parade. I discovered that we are like a little town. It is the most incredible thing. I have never lived in a neighborhood quite like this one. I really dig it. Yesterday I was asked if I blog about how awesome I am. I was like no, but that is a great idea. I want to show you guys the art of the best face painter that I have ever met. She was at the neighborhood pool party yesterday. (There was also an incredible balloon artist and a good DJ) I would love to tell you her company name but I was far too excited to notice. She did a special request for me which I believe that any other face painter would have denied.
That, my friends, is my favorite mythical creature. (My own creation.) This woman painted an almost exact picture of what I described. She drew him better than I draw him. (You know what, here is my own Birdcrab that I drew a while back.)
 
That one is from Thanksgiving. I am considering writing like a theme poem for my little buddy. (I don't know how to write a song unfortunately. Maybe I will find someone to turn my poem into a song) Needless to say, this face painter has my eternal respect. Now, we shall read and discuss Shakespeare's Sonnet 3.
Look in thy glass and tell the face thou viewest,
Now is the time that face should form another,
Whose fresh repair if now thou not renewest,
Thou dost beguile the world, unbless some mother.
For where is she so fair whose uneared womb
Disdains the tillage of thy husbandry?
Or who is he so fond will be the tomb,
Of his self-love to stop posterity?
Thou art thy mother's glass and she in thee
Calls back the lovely April of her prime,
So thou through windows of thine age shalt see,
Despite of wrinkles this thy golden time.
But if thou live remembered not to be,
Die single and thine image dies with thee. 
Ah, this should be fun. Look in thy glass and tell the face thou viewest,/ Now is the time that face should form another,/Whose fresh repair if now thou not renewest, Look in the mirror and tell your reflection that now it is time to have a child because if you don't create a bearer of your image,
Thou dost beguile the world, unbless some mother./For where is she so fair whose unreared womb/ Disdains the tillage of thy husbandry? I think he is saying something like: You cheat the world (of your beauty) and leave a woman childless. What woman is not good enough for you? (Not too sure about the previous sentence. It is a guess.) Or who is he so fond will be the tomb,/ Of his self-love to stop posterity? Who is so selfish and vain that they would stop the reproduction of their beauty?
Thou art thy mother's glass and she in thee/ Calls back the lovely April of her prime,/ So thou through windows of thine age shalt see, You are the bearer of your mother's image. In you the good looks of her youth live on. So when you are old you will see (assuming the addressee does have a son) 
Despite of wrinkles this golden time. Uh, you will look back on your younger years fondly when you see him.
But if thou live remembered not to be,/ Die single and thy image dies with thee. However, if you DON'T have a son, your beauty will die when you do.
Well, I need to eat breakfast and do school. I hope you guys enjoyed this. If you want me to post like your favorite poem or a persuasive essay on something or whatnot, let me know in the comments and I will see what I can do. Have a nice day. 😊

First Post/ Finding Inspiration

As This is my first ever blog post, I thought this random writing rather suits the situation.  Enjoy. 😎   Here I sit, trying to find some inspiration for my pen to express on this page.  I close my eyes and let my thoughts sink into the depths of my soul in search of emotion.  All is pitch black, yet I can see; no, feel the dread beasts nearby.  Anger breathes down my neck while Ignorant Joy juggles knives in an effort to comfort Self Conscious who is weeping in the corner.  The more dangerous emotions I prefer to keep locked in steel cages.  To my left, Fear growls and tries to convince me to let him out.   Behind me, red hot Anger still heaves his fiery breath, singeing the hairs on my neck.  To my right, are Love and Trust.  By far the most dangerous of the group, yet also the most inspiring.  Together they conspire over an intense game of cards how they will soon rule the world.  I boldly approach them and twist the key...

How To Write a Limerick

Good morning, People! How was your sleep? Mine was alright. In my dream, my buddy Flash found my lost Starbucks gift card. He was like SWEEET until I told him it was mine. Then he looked a bit bummed. I (seeing this sad face and not particularly liking it) decided to make a deal. "Tell you what. You can keep the card if you promise to get coffee with me." "You do not have control over that stuff." He took my card and walked away. Fereal? Who does that??? LOL. Fortunately it was just a dream. I still have my half spent gift card. Now that we have talked just a bit, it is time to get serious. We are going to write a Limerick. {What in tar nation is a Limerick?}Hold your horses, I am about to explain. A Limerick is a form of poem following an A-A-B-B-A pattern. This means that lines 1,2,and 5 rhyme and lines 3, and 4 also rhyme. The lines labeled "A" are longer than the others and have the same rhythm. I will try to write a Limerick right now. (I literally...

Decorate a Leader Night

Hello. Today is Thursday. I wasn't sure what to write about to be honest. The past twelve hours have been a bit like an emotional rollercoaster. I would rather not discuss it right now.  So instead, I decided to talk about poetry. I don't really want to do that though. My brain is a bit mushy. However! I did find this sonnet by Shakespeare. I really like the last line in the sonnet. It just stands out in sharp contrast. I must show you. Here you go, Sonnet 65 by Shakespeare. Sonnet 65 Since brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor boundless sea But sad mortality o’er-sways their power, How with this rage shall beauty hold a plea, Whose action is no stronger than a flower? O, how shall summer’s honey breath hold out Against the wrackful siege of batt’ring days, When rocks impregnable are not so stout, Nor gates of steel so strong, but time decays? O fearful meditation! where, alack, Shall time’s best jewel from time’s chest lie hid? Or what strong hand can hol...
