Something I found while looking through old boxes.  Fun times digging through memories.

Always used to get funky haircuts before shaving our bodies for the final swim meet.

Found some old poetry while looking through boxes at my parent's house.  might go through the notebook and rewrite a few...

I am a pine tree
Big and tall
With glossy green needles
That grow and fall

Found a bunch of old papers in boxes at my parent's house.  Included are short stories, poems, stories started but not finished, and a whole bunch of random ideas, some of which don't make sense to me now.   Wrote about dark stuff, light stuff, love stuff, fight stuff and a whole bunch of random stuff.

 

 

 

Some examples:

 

 

A brilliant teacher can have a bad day.

His aim was pure

His aim was sure

The point went through the heart

The enemy fell

On its way to hell

Pierced by a lethal dart

Gather round children

Hear my story

Of a brave warrior

And his descent from glory

 

Many battles

Did he fight

With shield in hand

Sword in flight

 

Until one day

He betook a quest

To do the impossible

To defeat the best

 

He challenged the one

The only knight

Whose heart of darkness

Feared no light

 

Upon a dark and

Stormy night

The two warriors arrived

Prepared to fight

 

The battle was bloody

The dark warrior mean

He did away with the knight

Quick and clean

 

Without a leader

The good army fell

To the darkness

To the hell

 

And so the warrior's

Excessive pride

Brought down his kingdom

Made good men die.

 

 

I don't think I plagarized, but these were written in grade school, so please tell me if they sound like something you've read.



Spent a few hours looking through old stuff while visiting my parents.  Can't use their home as storage anymore, so had to get rid of all my old fantasy books.  I kept the magic cards and comics, but the rest have moved on to other readers.
