Poems and Such part whatever

Ok, so we're doing this poetry unit in english, or we were. It lasted about 3 days. But anyways, we were assigned this project of a mini dictionary of poetry words and such.

So, now I am all in a poetic mood.

Going to put down some poems I wrote and some poems others wrote.

This one is stupid, but it follows the rules that were set down

A petal sits among the brush
having dropped from a flower
to rest for eternity
forever decomposing

By me!! ack, I don't like it. Now, onto some good poetry.

THE TIME MACHINE

There's a time machine inside your mind,
To this time and space not confined;
Return to the past,
Destinations are vast,
Or fast forward to see what you find.

Re-experience moments you prized,
The delights of your life scrutinized;
Scenic beauty recaptured,
Again you're enraptured,
In your time machine all this reprised.

Full control of your life with your brain,
See things that no longer remain;
Events can be changed,
Some results rearranged,
You can be a young child once again.

Plan a trip to before you were born,
See the Earth on the very first morn;
No borders for nations,
No thought limitations,
Imagine the perfect sojourn.

Why not create a past life or two?
There is nothing your mind cannot do;
Dream up some dreams,
Go to any extremes,
Climb a mountain peak near Kathmandu.

On the trips to the future take care,
You may not like what you see there;
Be aware if you venture,
I don't want your censure,
The world will be different - - beware!

Joel D. Ash.

That is a series of limericks!

Oh, and you know how I said I was going to sleep in my earlier post? well I did, until 6 or 7 pm. Guess I needed it :P
