“Happy Dog” Poem

“I’m a happy dog at the beach
If I had the power of speech
I would tell you all
To throw my ball
I’m a happy dog at the beach

I’m a happy dog at the beach
There are no new tricks you can teach
I’m bouncy and glad
And my tail wags like mad
I’m a happy dog at the beach

I’m a happy dog at the beach
My joy is always in reach
Whatever the talk
It’s the best place to walk
I’m a happy dog at the beach

I’m a happy dog at the beach
As I hear the seagulls screech
I chase and I bark
Long into the dark
I’m a happy dog at the beach

I’m a happy dog at the beach
And I don’t want to start to preach
But if you ask me
The best thing to see
Is a happy dog at the beach”

By, Flying Lemming

I really enjoyed reading this poem because, it focuses on the pure joy of a dog. It also shows how dogs can easily become carefree without a concern in the world. This poem shows all of these things in the perspective of a dog on the beach.

 

 

 

 

Challenge Weeks four and five: Media and a Memory

When I was little I can remember spending countless hours playing with my Legos. My favorite type of Lego sets were the Lego Star Wars sets. I remember building them piece by piece until it was time to go to bed.
Whenever I had finished building one of my Y-Wing Fighters, or Jungle Speeders, I would bring out all of my other Legos and have a huge battle between them. I remember spending the whole day on a ‘special rescue mission’ and then the next on a ‘surprise attack’. At the end of the day when I put them away, I remember each one having its own spot on the shelf and how the had to be put up exactly like that.
As I got older I played with them less and less. They started collecting dust as I became interested in other things like sports, and video games. Now they are just a memory that I visit every time I look back at that shelf. These Lego sets were a part of my life, and I will never forget them.
