POETRY IN MOTION GUILD

My name is Caroline, and I am a memfur of the Poetry in Motion Guild of CLAW. This is my picfur.





I also have a membership card that I would love to show miew. Here it is.





Poetry has always been furry special to me. Maybe, at first, I thought it was because my Meowmie is a poet; but I haf come to realize I love poetry on it's own merits.





Poetry can be beautifur, or it can be ugly, make you laugh or make you cry; but the one thing that poetry does, is that it evokes emotion. That is an amazing thing. I have seen big macho kitties who, after hearing a beautiful poem, have had tears in their eyes.





Poems can touch miewr heart, invoke feelings long furgotten, and often have the ability to change how kitties and people think about things. I am furry proud to call myself a Poet.

Here is the Poem I wrote for June called Ice Dancing.

Ice Dancing

The music starts
and dance begins
skating across the ice
two bodies merged
as if they're one
with a symmetry
that's so nice
the dance goes on and she flies
unto the sky
as the swan folds her wings
and her lover mourns
as she falls
about to die
motion
movement
and ecstasy
athletic art at it's best
each step they take
every movement they make
shining strong above the rest
ice dancing
I wish I could
it's a beauty
as never before
ice dancing
creativity
to glide forever more

This is the Poetry Society Book.

This is my latest poem I wrote about the 4th of July. It's called "The First Americans".

They were the first Americans

Come, children
and let us talk a while
about what it took
to make America free
it happened not so long ago
or so it seems that way
when you're as old as me
they were so young
they were so brave
come child, climb upon my knee
and listen to my tale
of those strong men
who fought to make America free

they were the first Americans

They fought for freedom
and many died
for dignity and justice
side by side
they pledged to make
this country free
they fought for freedom
for you and me

they were the first Americans

they rang a bell
for liberty
and signed a declaration
for all to see
a bill of rights
they made their choice
they fought to be free
and with one great voice
they said we will build
a brave new nation
no taxation
without representation

they were the first Americans

I just received my Fourth Level Award. I am so furry proud. Here it is!
