Welcome

First of all, welcome to my brand new poetry blog "Words from the Wind". I am delighted that you took the time to read my poetry. I will have you know that sometime in the near-future I will be forming "Words from the Wind" into a website instead of as a blog so that it will include my personal poetry collections, as well as other poets that would like to post their works as well, that you will be able to rate and critique.

The Climbing Vine

There was a vine that was colored red,

It was so tall it touched my head,

I climbed the vine that ran so high,

I was headed right towards the sky,

I climbed on a cloud that was shaped like a square,

The vine was 100 times longer than my hair,

Then the vine wrapped around my feet.



I felt the pitter-patter of people drumming a beat,

I felt like a drummer,

Beating their drum,

I beat the drum, Rum-a-tum-tum,

I was eager to enter the kingdom above.



In fact, I found a magical dove,

The dove was shaped like a hydroplane,

Then, I heard a choo-choo train,

It was headed toward a cloud as lout as thunder,

I thought the train wouldn't make it under!



I was right,

Or so I thought,

The train tied the cloud into a knot,

Then, with a great big boom,

The cloud burst, and I went zoom!



I slid down the vine, and started to fly,

As I bid farewell and descended from the sky,

Than I finally reached the ground,

But as I fell,

I didn't make a sound.



Then, I finally knew what's-up,

As my mother yelled "Get Up!"

Even though it didn't seem,

I knew that it was just a dream.

This is a rather strange poem and the flow was a bit jerky but it wasn't bad. Try to avoid writing 100 in numbers in the middle of a poem. It looks more professional if you spell it out and I think you meant loud in this sentence -

It was headed toward a cloud as lout as thunder,

Other than that, your spelling was accurate and it was rather random but enjoyable.
