What Would it be like from an Animal's Point of View?

What would it be like, from an animals point of view?

Would it be intimidating? Interesting? Abusive?

Or would it be playful? Comfortable? Different?

What they are thinking,

Sleeping? Eating? Playing?

When they are the cold,

Scared? Death? Pain?

When they are playing outside,

This is fun? This is boring?

When they are in darkness,

What's going on? Where am I?

When they are curious,

What is that? Did you see that?

Or when their alone,

Somebody here? Anybody here?

When they are loving,

Play with me? Pet me?

Or when their abused,

Why did they hurt me? What did I do to them?

We will always ponder,

always wonder what is going on in an animals mind.

Life is Full of Patterns

author's note: This is a response to the novel, The Curious Incidient of the Dog in the Night-Time.

When I read the novel, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, it appeared to me that Christopher has many different behaviors. Christopher is a boy who is anti-social and is scared when people touch him. This is because he is tautistic. Symbolically humans don't want to express themselves unless they know the person. If the person is foreign, that shields our personality and the ability to open up to them. Another behavior that Christopher shows is he cannot tell a lie. Christopher claims he does "not tell lies." (19) and not telling lies is an excellent habbit to develope, and will come in handy in life. One last behavior that is strangely odd is he sees four red cars in a row it is a Good Day. Three red cars in a row made it a Quite Good Day and four yellow cars in a row made it a Black Day. This behavior is seen all the time by us humans. Everyday, if we realize it or not, we develope patterns to go throughout the day. Although Christopher's behaviors seem odd, in the real world, these behaviors apply to humans everyday.

What is a True Friend?

author's note: This poem is about what a true friendship is. It makes you think what real friends you have in your life. What inspired me to write this, was when I heard friends laughing in the background, having a good time. That made me think what really is a true friend?

What is a True Friend?

One who listens to you?
or one who trusts you?

What is a True Friend?

One who laughs with you?
or one who loves you?

What is a True Friend?

One who picks you up when you fall?
or one who cares about you?

What is True Friend?

A True Friend is always there for you
A True Friend never leaves your side
A True Friend cares about you

A True Friend will be with you now, and till forever.
