Funny story

Once upon a time there lived not  ordinary animals but jumping elephants. They lived in the jungle, that seriously smelt bad. All of the living animals, blew balloons especially the baboons. 

A year later there was a girl named Evangeline who would walk & talk, through the jungle. She’d always seen the elephants jumping , twirling and doing a tango dance, and the baboons blowing there pink balloons.

One day she looked at a big huge log, she sat down and said “this thing is squishy”. She didn’t know what it was until, “Ploop”. An alligator popped out of the water with lemons and said “ahhh sour, sour lemons”. The alligator also did an dance, the “nae nae”.

Evangeline always made an day when she’d had fun with the animals, instead of jumping elephants, there was dancing elephants, Lemon baboons and alligator blowing their blue balloons.

The animals in the jungle were unordinary Evangeline thought there would be mockingjay birds but no, she had thought wrong. The animals could actually talk.Maybe not.

Evangeline would laugh when she heard the alligators jokes but Quincy (the main elephant) didn’t like it, it was about him.

Quincy came up with a joke about the alligator.“What do you call an alligator in a vest”?“Investigator”  “HAHAHA” Quincy said/laughed.

Evangeline finally said bye. For a bye present she blew balloons, danced to the nae nae and did the Tango with the elephants.
                           The END haha…

Horse Poem remade

The Brown pastel makes my heart pump, chosen out with responsibility, producing the blueprint of a colt when already it’s there all done, a extraordinary alluring employment ; then shading the colts in brown as strong, infrequently going up the perimeter but often filling up the area after fright or confusion and embracing in the carton, eyes slowly close for something more or less surprising for the azure and finding inmost blue by calamity.

My Mothers Coat : Poem Remade

As a infant

I remember feeling warm

covered

in my Mum’s coat

I think I looked

absurd,

big buttons

emerging from the folds

that was the only thing

there for me   

I’d always commemorate

Its uncommon threads

Amazing and boorish

its Tenderness

negate their clout

its tivaevae-like board

of light thin fibre

An active amour

across harsh winters

The colours loud

Screaming for consideration

and capacity

My mum constantly wore

the coat with Delight

undaunted

by its climax aftermath

outlining her out

in a Papaa circle

But combined appealing

at each puputuanga

I do commemorate

with adolescent antipathy

abandon my mum’s coat

“not for me”

the abhorrent design

bizarre colours

and a stiff fit

I didn’t want

to be striking

If only I knew then

What I know right

now

She wears it always

Her jewelry of ego

dazzling and blazing

and not long ago

I tested it

after abounding years

admitting it’s not “really me”

It’s because of mum

I can definitely

sew my own

Hope you enjoy/ understand my poem!
