For "Space Blog" ![]() "Humanity" ![]() ![]() Review? Unfortunately this is a list not a poem; however, each item could inspire a poem or a story or better yet an essay (like a blog or journal entry). It also needs a grammar check. I'm not going to review nor rate it as the writer is either very young, very new, has a dialect I'm not familiar with or English isn't their native language. All of which is fine but not reviewable. Prompt: How do you feel about humanity? Depends on my day. There are a lot of us. And we squeeze out other useful species. A monocultural waste of flesh according to certain points-of-view. On the other hand, cockroaches and rats love us. Individually we may be interesting, and of some use; but, we resemble a planted pine tree farm or palm nut plantation.

The rhinos weren't the only ones who were set free on the old farm fields. Groups of horses and ostriches mingled with zebras and a few oxen. They all kept watch out for the hungry marauders... a pack of wild dogs. Once upon a time... his rheumy eyes gazed inward ... we barely survived the human war upon our world. Our hairy ancestors had died out, but a small group of scientists brought us back. Now we can march to the north where the grass grows greener and the cold will make us glad we have these woolly coats. Someday, maybe after the invaders have helped them to mature, humans will be allowed to join us. Received a pretty RED ribbon today as I tied for 1st place in "Writing 4 Kids Contest " ![]() ![]()
As I told Cubby ![]() And I was gifted a badge too: ![]() This really cheered me up today. Makes me want to write more story-poems for kids. They are short. They can be silly! I can have fun with language. (They can be subversive ... ![]() 3594 |
