Portrait Poem #1
Example I AM I am a nutty guy who likes dolphins. I wonder what I, and the world, will be like in the year 2000. I hear silence pulsing in the middle of the night. I see a dolphin flying up to the sky. I want the adventure of life before it passes me by. I am a nutty guy who likes dolphins. I pretend that I'm the ruler of the world. I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders. I touch the sky, the stars, the moon, and all the planets as representatives of mankind. I worry about the devastation of a nuclear holocaust. I cry for all the death and poverty in the world I am a nutty guy who likes dolphins. I understand the frustration of not being able to do something easily. I say that we are all equal. I dream of traveling to other points on the earth. I try to reach out to poor and starving children. I hope that mankind will be at peace and not die out. I am a nutty guy who likes dolphins. --SANDY MAAS |
