In Which I wonder about Civ and its many facets

Good morning dear friend, happy Monday! April continues and so does the rains that will keep cooling the soil for a close to arrive winter. As the temperature will go down, so I pray, hopefully the insects will finally go away. I detest them and no matter how much I clean my desk, there they are again, with their wings getting detached as they are on their mating season. Nothing I detest more than their dirt and dust. I am counting the seconds for June, and the coming of May, even! I love the relatively colder days of this time of year, whwre I can wrap myself in blankets, never feeling sweat. What a bliss! How are you? How was your weekend? As for me, I am okay, thank Goodness. I am alive and overall okay. Just feeling a bit dizzy on the legs for some reason, a feeling I dislike quite a bit. Apart from the woes of the legs, I think of the previous post, where I mentioned Civ's issue with the mod I am using, Vox Populi. I am still not entirely done with this entry, but I am thinkin...

In which the author shares a poem he made!! "The Birkenia"

Hello to you all, happy Monday and good night to you all!!!! How are you doing and how things are going?? As usual, I wish you the best and I do hope things are going fine with you, and you had a nice day!! As for me, college was fine, but the day was extremely hot, so that's sad, but now it's night so things are a little more chill, so anyway, things are fine. I'm just happy to be writing this post and sharing it with you, dear reader! And today I have a different thing to share with you guys! A poem I made, on a Silurian fish called Birkenia, who was nothing like a modern fish, the kind of ones we see on the rivers today!!!! 

Here's a Birkenia, by the way, lovely fish


This is how it goes, guys, it's my first poem, probably it's crappy, but who knows, maybe you'll like it! And maybe I'll read it better and grow to like it more! Let's jump to it!

THE BIRKENIA
By Daniel M.

The Birkenia is swimming in the Silurian River
With difficulty he goes in the silver waters of the river
More like dragging himself he goes as he has no flippers
Only a thick skin he has to cover him from his shivers.

Poor Birkenia has no jaws
So his small mouth is always open
In hopes of getting his food on the grond.

And those Ross-like Paleontologists say he's an "able" swimmer
How could he swim with no flippers?
How could hee eat with no jaws?
How funny is life for this Birkenia
What can this fish do
For him these are no flaws!

He can only keep on going
Defying biology as his stomach grows
So is the life of Birkenia in the Silurian Age.

He doesn't know his name
It was given  him by us humans
As he's uncovered from earth
He has been dead for Eons.


And this odd poem is what we have for today! This poem was THE STRUGGLE for me, it felt like I was left in a maze and the way to scape it is only by using words! I just had the Birkenia stucked in my head for YEARS and finally now he's out of my head and swimming into life again through my words! I'll try to write more poems about the words that doesn't leave my head, probably ones related to Paleontology cause I love it and it has so many complicated names! I still want to write about the plant Cooksonia and the shores of a Ordovician sea. But that will stay for another ocasion, for now Birkenia is all we have.
You're the very best, see you on Sketch Wednesday!!!
