    P.S do not delete this comment Mr.Buxton


    Here are my first 3 lines of my poem

    Desperation like taking a long shot hoping for a last-minute winner. Togetherness like a closest friend since you 1st birthday. Synchronization like divers on their 20th practice.

    Should I read this one out?




    Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein
    There is a place where the sidewalk ends
    And before the street begins,
    And there the grass grows soft and white,
    And there the sun burns crimson bright,
    And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
    To cool in the peppermint wind.

    Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
    And the dark street winds and bends.
    Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
    We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
    And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
    To the place where the sidewalk ends.

    Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
    And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
    For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
    The place where the sidewalk ends.

    Nick, it depends on the poem. You are allowed to choose ANY poem that is well-respected.

    If anyone needs music for 'favorite nouns' song, then here is a link.
