Attempt #1

Yep, I'd like to write a book.  But I figured that before I penned my first novel, I should start small.  Poetry.  Here's my first few attempts.  Be sure to let me know what you think!

Attempt 1:

Roses aren't always red.

Violets are purple not blue.

I've had a really long week.

How about you?

Attempt 2:

Pat a cake, pat a cake, army man.

Get this deployment over with as fast as you can.

Attempt 3:

Star light, too bright.

I really need some sleep tonight.

I'm making a wish with all my might

that Robitussin cures my cough tonight.

After re-reading them, I may have to reconsider the book thing.  But then again, maybe a little dose of honesty and reality might go a long way.  Or maybe, I should wait and try again next week.  You never know what I could come up with then!
