Putting up old poetry

So

I started a blog

we'll see how this goes

I'm only writing one post per poem, so November 2009 will have quite a few

Oh well

This is the oldest poem I have on record (or at least typed up) but definitely not the first poem I ever wrote

It was an assignment in fifth grade: write a poem using the word of the week, which was "diverge"

According to My Uncle

According to my uncle, a star is created when a big sugar cube decides to diverge
According to my uncle, there is a thunder storm simply because all of the clouds have the urge
According to my uncle, the sun shows off its pride in a rainbow for everyone to see
According to my uncle, he’ll be a monkey’s uncle, though I would rather be a chimpanzee.
