Goodbye Worm!
a short poem about the loss of a pet worm
Goodbye Worm ~Adele Pena c1995
Cast it out across the lake,
I watched my pet worm fly.
Hooked upon a fishing rod,
his fate was now to die.
I'm not cruel, so don't blame me.
I didn't kill the crawler.
It was this hungry savage man.
I couldn't stand to hear him holler.
I almost cried as my worm died.
It was a gloomy hour.
But once at home,
I fried that fish after dipping it in flour.

Why Just Write Is The Best Advice You Don’t Listen To
Before the last 6 months, I hadn’t written anything that wasn’t for my job or university for a number of years. I wanted to write more, I used to write all the time just for fun. I used to write poems and short stories that were just for me. I used to show them to certain members of my family but it was the process of writing them that I really enjoyed.
