Instead of a Human...

I just wrote a poem, and it gave me this idea.

Instead of a human, I would like to be a teddy bear. read if you'd like, to sort of see what I mean, but please, do your own take on this idea!! http://allpoetry.com/poem/4067831





Basically, it's too much work and too tiring to be a human. Write a poem as though you are something else... NOT ALIVE (an inatimate object!!!) !!! from a pin cusion, to a chair, to whatever...a log, a mirror. BE CREATIVE WITH THIS.
______________________________________________________


EX:
**what i'd like is for you to tell me why you no longer want to be a human

**what it is you are going to be from now on

**and...why it is better.


______________________________________________________


Rules:


*common sense!
*MUST BE AT LEAST 10 LINES!! -->or DQ'd

**** MUST BE AN INATIMATE OBJECT!!!! (I've had to DQ more than i would've liked) :(





HM may be added, if i like what i see...





thanks and good luck

much *love*
Rianna

    Can it be someone immortal? Like an angel?

      hmm...that's a good question. an angel isn't really alive, per say...so i guess you could slip through the cracks w/this one, but on the other hand, it's kinda not w/the rules. I will let you decide if you'd like to use it, at your own discretion.
