Pink 3/3/11 __Fire and Ice__

Fire is red like a ripened tomato But ice is clear as a polished diamond Fire crackles, like cooking popcorn Ice has no sound, like grieving people

Fire is violent, out of control But fire is mans most useful tool Ice is calm, keeps it’s cool And ice keeps things grand and preserved

Fire is used in wars and violence But ice is used in hospitals The fire burns through logs and paper And ice will freeze steam to water

After all this back and forth You decide which one has more worth

__ Saltopus __ Crash, crinkle, what was that in the woods It was the minuscule but rare, Saltopus The virus of the woods, yet antique of them all With its giraffe legs, impossible to crawl

It’s a cheetah when it comes to speed But more height is what it needs A chameleon like creature Eating bugs are its features

Patrolling the forest in search of food In a stealthy way it’s in a ravished mood The scent of fresh prey, lingers to his nose But it knows, the Saltopus is getting close

The taste of prey, engulfs his mouth As the creature runs, towards the south Too late for the gecko, it can’t run away As the cheetah consumed it’s prey

If only he was larger, your eyes would feast As you look at the majestic, carnivorous beast

__The Ocean__ The ocean screams across the world Salty spray clings on to all The splish and splash of children swimming Is the world’s most joyful singing

The ocean covers most of the world Yet the ocean is a mystery to most, not all The few people who know what the ocean beholds Sadly, are gone, and aren’t coming back

Ocean, a monster, crushes all in it’s wake But at the same, a shelter, for animals galore Ocean licks the beach and shore But kicks boats until they float no more

I love the ocean, frolicking on the beach But many despise it’s power, unable to reach it __Killer Bees__

Yellow Black Ready to attack Carnivorous consuming kings Nature’s notorious new threat

The luster of pollen Magnet of these savages Spreading it around Making new grounds Contributing to nature As well as their stature
