Beginning to Like Myself

Watching from down on the ground
Soaring in the heaven’s above
A world that I would never know
A world of mystery, a world of awe

Oh how I wish I could fly up there
Flying, soaring above life itself
Dreaming, craving, deeply desiring
Wishing beyond all hope to be like him

Wooooooooooooooshhhhhhhh

The desire to fly quickly leaving me
I would much rather live as a weasel
Than to be sucked into an aircraft’s engines
I think I’m starting to like who I am

Option : 4

Quote that inspired this poem: "Eagles soar, but weasels never get sucked into jet engines"

I saw this quote in a contest and decided to write about it. I wrote it fairly quickly and a while back so it might not be my best. But hopefully it made you smile.

No eagles were harmed in the designing process or the publishing process of this poem.

"Happy Birthday, you sexy Leo you"

    That's not bad. I love the "no eagles were harmed in the designing process or the publishing process of this poem" part on your author's comments.

    Ah yes An oldy, but a goody! I hadn't read this poem probably since I had read it so I'm glad you brought me back to it. I got gold for this in the contest, by the way. I was quite suprised, but I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for commenting and I'm glad I could make you laugh.

    Good job Tim. For a rush writing, I think you did an excellent job! You did quite well with the humour aspect and I especially enjoyed the disclaimer at the end! Good luck in the contest!
