Not Sure I Got It Entirely Right, And I Had To Quickly Look Up The Author, But

not sure i got it entirely right, and i had to quickly look up the author, but

here there be dragons by jane yolan

the map tells sailors where to sail

the decorations sun and whale

the warning spelled in letters pale

here there be dragons

the well known routes upon the map

should cause the sailors no mishap

but north-northwest there is a gap

and here there be dragons

the continents are not drawn true

the ocean waves outlined in blue

sea serpentine provides the clue

where there be dragons

yet year by year the ships have passed

cross oceans wide and oceans vast

and sailors stared atop the mast

for where there be dragons

but no jaws of blue or scales of green

are by these modern sailors seen

do you think that this might mean

here there be no more dragons?

i'd like to hope, i'd like the pray

the dragons have just gone... away

and will return some other day

then here there will be dragons, again

poll time. yes this is just a ploy to get people to recommend me poems

if yes, let me know which poems/recite some for me in the tags!

me explaining to the other trainers that apricorns are unknown outside of Johto because of deliberate suppression by the Silph and Devon corporations to present artificial pokeballs as the only means of capturing pokemon and establish regional monopolies after they eliminate renewable sources

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a slapping,

As of some one gently flapping, flapping at my chamber door.

“’Tis some fairy,” I muttered, “slapping at my chamber door—

Only this and nothing more.”

oh, thank you!!

well, that's a little sad, and i'm a little nervous for the prospect of tiny little baby spiders, but she is really neat looking! and i'm glad she seems to be doing well where she's chosen to hang out!

hi! this spider has been chilling in our doorway for a few weeks now, could you tell me about her? we're in southwest bc, canada. hope you have a nice evening!

Hello! This thick woman is a cross orbweaver. This time of year she will likely lay an egg sac and then pass. Seems like she's lived her best spider life thus far though!
