Caged-Bird Inspired Piece

"Fly away from the sea," the old man said.
"Water will loosen the wings, fly high instead.
But do not fly to the sun, for heat will melt the wax."
The boy laughed, "father, your invention will hold, relax."
As they prepared to fly the guards burst in!
"Fly my son! Escape this prison!"
The boy leaped, spreading his wings to fly,
the guards watched in stupefied awe as the two soared through the sky.
The boy cheered, soaring ever higher, nearing the sun.
His father yelled, "stray from the sun!" But the boy was lost in freedom,
until the wax melted, sending the boy down to the sea.
His father flew on, weeping bitterly.
And thus ends the tale of Daedalus and Icarus,
for the pleasurable taste of freedom can blind even the cautious.

Dream Threads

I knew it'd be a rough road, and it may not work out for me, but if I gave up, how would I ever know if I could've made it. I had always wanted to be the greatest Pokemon master. Right off the bat things were difficult, since I overslept and almost missed getting a starter. Then Pikachu refused to work with me, until we almost died from being attacked by Spearrow. Things only got marginally easier after that, I had never realized just how little I actually knew about Pokemon. I was destroyed by Brock when I first challenged him, and only got the badge the second time from luck. Now my partners and I have gotten all eight badges needed to enter the Indigo league. Tomorrow will bring a beginning to the battles, and will bring a chance for me to prove myself. For now however, Pikachu and I are just sitting here at night, looking out at the stars. Wondering what tomorrow might bring. We just sit in silence with only the calm, steady sound of breathing to fill the air.

Destroying the hall.

Elfman is not the only one destroying things though.
Loke, Grey, and Natsu are also brawling, trashing the hall as they do.
Inside the hall is complete chaos.
Cana gets annoyed at the noise and threatens to stop them with her magic.
It doesn't work, as the others start to prepare to use magic.
Old man Markarov grows to giant size and frightens the others into behaving, however it's
Useless against Natsu who wants to continue.
So Markarov steps on him.

If I were in charge of the world

If I were in charge of the world
I'd cancel school,
dumb TV shows,
internet fees, and also
slowly running internets.

If I were in charge of the world
there'd be free ice cream,
real Pokémon, and
dragons.

If I were in charge of the world
you wouldn't have school.
You wouldn't have the ACT.
You wouldn't have idiots.
Or "go play with your brother."
You wouldn't even have annoying brothers.

If I were in charge of the world
a desert would be a vegetable.
All dogs would be big and fluffy.
And a person who sometimes forgot to shower,
and sometimes forgot to wake up
would still be allowed to be
in charge of the world.

That's a cool story. Its always nice to be reminded of people you like but don't get to see often.

I like how you managed to get everything ton rhyme and still make sense. whenever I try to do poetry and have it rhyme it doesn't make sense.

I really liked this story, it was quite interesting to think about what an animal might think about a person.

I was Wondering...

Hey I was wondering what people might think about an idea I've had. You see, I love to read, and over the past couple of years I've taken up writing fanfiction. However, I haven't posted anything on any fanfiction sites yet, for three reasons. The first, and most important reason, is I need a beta reader to read through it and tell me if they think its good and what mistakes I've made. The second reason is I'm kinda nervous about other people reading what I write. And the third reason is that, I've started work on so many stories, that most of them aren't past a chapter or two long. Saying that, I wanted to know what people thought about me posting one of my stories here. If yes, there are four that I'm debating about posting. The first is a crossover between Harry Potter and Pokémon. The second is a Naruto fanfiction. The third is an eventual crossover between Naruto, Pokémon, Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Percy Jackson and the Olympians. And the fourth is a Naruto and Pokémon crossover. So please just give me some feedback about what you think. Thanks a lot.

I can defiantly say I know what you mean, although for me it wasn't a blanket. For me it was a book that I took to the doctors appointments. You see, I have a blood disease, which means I go to the doctor a lot. I have a bone marrow biopsy, where they stick a big needle into your rear and remove a bit of bone, once a year. I would always have a book and be reading up until I could no longer keep my eyes open before the operation. Afterwords, the book would be there when I woke up. On a side note, I would suggest either changing your background, or the color of your text, as the black text is kinda hard to read.

You know, funnily enough, I did something similar to that, twice. In first or second grade, can't remember which, I was told to write a letter that I'd open in sixth grade. I don't remember what it said now, but I remember thinking that my handwriting was atrocious. I had another one that I wrote...sometime...and then opened on at a church youth group activity. That one was full of encouragement. I think everyone should do that, write a letter to themselves thats full of encouragement and the fun from when they were younger.
