ReplyDeleteWho went to mars,
who's on a mission to find some facts
about the red planet mars.
It may be tough,it may feel difficult
but when NASA programs the unstoppable
it is nearly impossible to travel in a planet
when the job is at the hands of a ROVER!

DeleteWhodunit?...A baby?
ReplyDeletechildren under the age of 7
cannot be prosecuted
under Pakistani law
Pakistani justice has not been hesitant
charge an entire family with attempted murder,
including Musa
Musa Khan, a 9-month-old boy
was charged alongside four adults
in connection with a violent protest
a case that has heaped ridicule
The absurdity of the case
became apparent last Thursday
does not even know how to pick up his milk bottle
how can he stone the police
Pakistan’s troubled criminal judicial system has failed
failed to prosecute
Hafiz Saeed
Osama bin Laden
the Pakistani police often lodge exaggerated complaints
against poor families
a form of collective punishment
The matter is likely to be quickly dropped

ReplyDeleteSitting on the moon,
A lake of despair,
Strong crystals,
Growing in all directions,
Larger than geysers,
The possibility of longer cold,
A way to capture the promising warm’
Dry is the ice, for life does not matter ,
The findings of life are beneath,
Covered with a miniscule layer of hope,
But the sadness is so large,
The lake, quickly an ocean,
Constant darkness,
Sitting on the moon.
That is a very outstanding poem dealing with the concept of geothermal and poetry combined!
DeleteThank you because I worked hard I think I want to post another one
Delete“My Bionic Pet”
ReplyDeleteAnimals with disabilities,
Goes for the emotions,
Animals with deformed rear legs,
To a prosthetic wing,
Not all of the stories end happily,
What people think of animals,
But it hardly ever considers what animals think of people ,
Also whether that intelligence is mere instinct or demonstrates the capacity to solve problems, remember the past,
Plan for the future and so on

i like your poem
DeleteRain, Rain, Rain, come again and again,
ReplyDeleteIn the winter, in the summer and in spring,
Come with joy, fall with happiness and go with sorrow,
Rain, Rain, Rain come again and again.
Rain, Rain, Rain come to relive earth's pain,
Rain, Rain, Rain come to make nature happy,
Rain, Rain, Rain come to make livings happy,
Rain, Rain, Rain come again and again.
Rain, Rain, Rain don't go away,
Rain, Rain, Rain i hope you will stay,
Rain, Rain, Rain come again and again.
nice poem
DeleteThis makes me think about rain in a totally different way! I will definitely remember this poem the next time it rains!
DeleteWHO ARE YOU ONLINE?
ReplyDeleteWhen you e-mail or text your friends
Do you ever edit
What you say to your friends
Do you monitor others pictures.
Do you monitor your own.
Do you Google yourself and find you are not there
When you text your friends
Do you think about
What they think
Of you

This should be put on a internet awareness site.

Interesting piece :)
DeleteDown in a Israel
ReplyDeleteRecall memories
I recall the war in
Israel
Israel
I was hiding with the resistance
I had to survive
And when the war was over I had survived
I had survived
But now the Jewish takes over
Israel
Israel
We spent so much time
With the Jewish
We forgot what it meant to be Israeli
We forgot our own kind
But this is how it is
Down in a Israel

Joyfull family everyone is kind.Marriage is challenging
the fracas grow,struggling with their offspring sharing drowsiness mistakes

as one doubtful reason put the o2 mask on
screeching for survival does not
really work
due to cranky people

ReplyDeleteEmbracing spring fashion with colors and prints
ReplyDeleteIt’s officially spring,and even if you haven’t completely thawed,the days are longer, the sun is out ,and it’s time to brighten (and lighten) up. Start by embracing color and print,, and wear something with a dash of humor say, a sweet pair of emoji slippers.This is the happy season
The wind blows
ReplyDeletethe owls howls
the lady cries
the children play
the cars drive
the light switch
the cold in the air
the leaves turn colors
This makes me feel like I am walking outside on a crisp fall day!
DeleteFashionable
ReplyDeleteFashion is like be a part of a movie
being host by vogue and the cinema society
Model like daria strokous have to pose for be so fashionable

being seen by their fan, friends, and family
