In Which I go to town to see Marty Supreme: quite a movie!

Good morning, my dear friend, dear reader of this post, you fine lady, you fine gentleman! Cheers! How are you? Hope you are okay? It has been a week that went by faster than one would expect! I was wanting to write a post earlier than now, and I had a draft, but it was getting too big, and too many threads of thinking going into it, and it would be far out of the scope of a blog post to cover all that I was loosely writing about, it was too big and tiresome to read, too hard to find a finishing line, so I did what I don't usually do and scrapped the whole post, not an easy nor a decision I took lightly, but it was needed, or else the post would just keep dragging on. That said, I am okay. Monday I was pretty melancholic, so this Tuesday I could go to the movies, for the first time since The Phoenician Scheme, which was a good excuse to get out of the house, though the movie disappointed.  I went to the movies, got my ice cream, then popcorn, and also bought a bottle of eau de toil...

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!!!
