Winning Poems - Competition no 33: Write a poem using rhymes with a given word?
Remember Me by Spades Master
I hope someone remembers me when I die
Fighting with honor, sheer pride in my eyes
I joined the Corps, to be all I can be
I lay down my life, so that others live free
I’m a simple man, just a regular guy
For love of country, didn’t have to ask why
I followed my calling, to protect and serve
A peaceful nation, is what we deserve
Just pin my medals, across my chest
Please tell my mama, I did my best
Don’t worry ‘bout me, there’s no need to cry
I’m now one with God, there’s no goodbye

(#5580663) A Dog's Tail of Joy
Posted by Jodie701 on 19 Feb 2024 at 12:59PM
In the morning sun, my tail's a-flip,
A furry comet, on a joyful trip.
Eyes shining with pure devotion,
I'm your four-legged, tail-wagging emotion.
With each dawn, my day begins,
Sniffing adventures, and wagging grins.
Through grassy fields and concrete streets,
I'm your loyal companion on countless beats.
The scent of your return, oh sweet delight,
My world brightens, everything feels right.
Furry hugs and paw-taps galore,
In your presence, I ask for nothing more.
I chase my tail in a whirl of glee,
A goofy dance, just for you to see.
The ball you throw, a game divine,
Fetching it back, in a perfect line.
Nap-time comes, I find my nook,
Dreaming of squirrels I'd love to hook.
On your lap or by your side,
I'm your furry shadow, on this joyous ride.
Through rain or shine, through thick and thin,
I'm your dog, your confidant within.
In this furry tale, as chapters unfurl,
I'm your loyal friend, your pawed-up swirl.
A furry comet, on a joyful trip.
Eyes shining with pure devotion,
I'm your four-legged, tail-wagging emotion.
With each dawn, my day begins,
Sniffing adventures, and wagging grins.
Through grassy fields and concrete streets,
I'm your loyal companion on countless beats.
The scent of your return, oh sweet delight,
My world brightens, everything feels right.
Furry hugs and paw-taps galore,
In your presence, I ask for nothing more.
I chase my tail in a whirl of glee,
A goofy dance, just for you to see.
The ball you throw, a game divine,
Fetching it back, in a perfect line.
Nap-time comes, I find my nook,
Dreaming of squirrels I'd love to hook.
On your lap or by your side,
I'm your furry shadow, on this joyous ride.
Through rain or shine, through thick and thin,
I'm your dog, your confidant within.
In this furry tale, as chapters unfurl,
I'm your loyal friend, your pawed-up swirl.
