Entered by dea on Wed Jul 14 10:26:54 UTC 1999:

                My Body is a Castle

        My body is a castle
        each room a memory
        some lit
        some dreary
        passeges between always quiet and dark
        full with there hidden traps that once sprung leave a mark

        My body is a castle
        each wing a arm
        used as a shield
        when wished harm
        when wished to write i use there towers
        for from them come my creative powers

        My body is a castle
        the gate my mouth
        from where wich my messenger departs
        to spread my word to others souls and hearts

        My body is a castle
        the walls are my spirit
        which begins to crumble
        when harsh words come near it

        My body is a castle
        the hearth my heart
        which touches others with hope
        to help start there fire.

Hrm. well i got around to it
this was the first poem i ever wrote, back when i was 9
it is my fav by far, but i do not know why, its isnt all that good
and i have writeen many many more which must be better by far i would belive,
but this one has always just held a speacil part in my heart

        As you can notice it just kinda ends, i couldnt finish it and for some
        reason didnt want to so i left it this way and im still proud of it:)

Wow...I really liked that.  I guess you didn't really need anything to rhyme
with "mouth".  You're dead.  ;-)
