Amor encuentra
Una compañera en
La felicidad
Anytime this coming week, cause I have a lot of clicking coming up:-D And as well i have a very busy schedule.
Poem: United States is the name
We have grown to have great fame
Hawaii and Alaska are far apart
But they still have a pact in our heart
Go to holly wood to get famous
Be careful it is enourmous
What to see in Arizona
Go to the Grand Canyon you will be in a coma
Lets go to Georgia
There is the world of Coca Cola
Go to Nevada
Get lost that's a not- a
America is great
It has 50 states!
All of you who commented post your poem directly before midnight April 16th on this discussion. I'll add you to the list as soon as you post a poem.

A Poem In German by AnnaWasHere.LoveMe.
Ihr Haar ist perfekt.
Ihre Augen sind schön.
Ihre Lippen sind weich und rosa.
Sie ist mein Favorit, was in der Welt.
Mich.
Mein Lieblings-Hase
Hatte eine Liebe zum Honig
Er aß so sehr
Dass er gefüllt war
Und setzte sich nie wieder auf
Fall Time Fantasy's
The aroma of cinnamon cascades through the air........
My halcyon lullaby, serene and somnolent, stops the cry.......
Idyllic and mellifluous but not nebulous for the baby falling asleep........
Dulcet desserts and succulent sauces leave me suffused........
A plethora of things I could do, but the Autumn breeze is inexorable........
And I wish nothing else but to watch the leaves that encompass me to ebb languidly..........
Desultorily I try to get something done, but I'd rather bask in the Autumn sun...........
Write your line then put 4 or 5 spaces after it. Then press the enter key
My poem:
Tomber tout autor de moi,
Rouge, jaune, orange et un peu vert,
J'ai escalade l'arbre,
Il y a quelque chose la bas,
C'est trop tot pour les feuilles se desplacer dans l'air,
Je grimpe jusqu'a ce que je voie... blanc?
Blanc dans un arbre? Je sais que c'est, sur ses pieds elle est legere,
Trois, deux, un... MEOW! Je descend l'arbre pour voir elle est tombee. Elle reprend moi... MRROW! Je regarde Elle et Elle regarde moi, nous tordons nos whiskers, nous jouons ensembel jusqu'a l'aub.
Je reviens, couvert de feuilles, pour voir mon propietare surpris tinder la pelouse...
Translation:
Falling all around me,
Red, yellow, orange and a bit of green,
I climb up the tree,
There is something up there,
It is too early for the leaves to be falling in the air,
I climb further up until I see... white?
White in a tree? I know who it is, on her feet she is quite light.
Three, two, one... MEOW! I climb down the tree to see where she has fallen. She gets me back... MRROW! I look at her and she looks at me, we twitch our whiskers, we play together until dawn.
I come back, covered in leaves, to see my surprised owner mowing the lawn...
There might be a few mistakes... maybe not a few...
I hope you liked this anyway!

this is a poem in German it is called Winter:
Seine Kalte drauben
ich will nicht drauben gehun und spielen
aber Mama sagt
ich muss sowieso
es fangt an zu schneien
ich werde einfrieren, ich hasse es
drauben an tagen wie diesen zu spielen.
I did the best I can I hope you all like it!
This is my original poem except it is in French this time.
La forêt est ......
Arbres et buissons partout
Il y a beaucoup à voir
Venez visiter dans la forêt
Vous pouvez vous reposer sous un arbre
La forêt est un .....
<Pre> Hiding Place </ pre>
Couvert par des buissons
Camouflage dans les arbres
Les animaux se cachent partout
Accroupis à genoux
La forêt est un .......
<Pre> Tree House </ pre>
Les oiseaux construisent des nids dans les branches
Alors que d'autres se cachent dans des creux d'arbres
Ruches d'abeilles suspendues aux membres longs
Leurs maisons se balancent dans la brise
La forêt est un ........
<Pre> Shelter </ pre>
Des créatures sous des arbustes épais cachés au froid
Une canopée d'arbres protégeant les animaux de la pluie
Les animaux se penchent sous les arbres pour ne pas devenir enneigés
Les racines des arbres agissant comme drain
