+Tethys C Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 A haiku it's not But a tear came to my eye How can this be true Fourteen is my son A cacher, he is as well But a poet - huh? Perhaps his Mom's side It's certainly not from me Top marks for this one He likes geocoins Maybe not quite like I do Is his poem worthy? ....................................... Ode to the Ocean The lovely light turquoise blue I see some fish, they are all from you The cooling water, wet on my skin Something breaks the surface, but it's just a fin A salty taste upon my tongue That salty taste just like dung Your wonderful wafting windy breeze You could even smell it if you pleased The crashing and tinkling of waves on the shore A sound so beautiful, it could stop a war Thank you, ocean my time is done Now I shall start wrting my ode to the sun Written by A Danish _______________________________________ We loved the poem, as C-side Girl and I both miss the ocean, living here in Calgary, Alberta. I don't actually think he has tasted dung Great cointest - thanks. Quote Link to comment

YemonYime Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 Long weekend tourney Drive north to Edinboro Let’s play some soccer First opponent tough Other coach yells at players We lose with honor Next team also tough Lack of defense, lose again Kids get dejected Parents make a plan Take entire team to beach Minds off of soccer Kids all sleep like logs Maybe Sunday different? Switch to new jerseys First team really big Must be under eleven Players look older Cannot worry now Team must play through treachery Fight adversity Quickness defeats size Large goalie not fast enough We score many goals Confidence anew Reminds one of old story Little train that could! Players now believe Local rival team up next Add fuel to fire Coach gives them great speech They come out all fired up Win one for gipper? First wave tsunami Score goal under ten seconds! Not know what hit them YoungYime make big saves Cover the net like brick wall Team victorious! End day on good note Make for pleasant drive back home Do again next year Lose two, then win two YoungYime’s fortune is now yours Two coins are gifted Long read through haikus Many hours to decide No wonder this late Who shall win first coin? Certainly not easy choice One entry hit home: I cache with my boys they bring a new perspective closer to the ground. The problem with this is that they are getting good at finding it first. They are really good They don't need a GPS it comes from inside When a coin is there they are bloodhounds on the scent until they find it now they have started to pilfer my stash of coins sneaky little boys who am I kidding even if I win this coin my boys will take it Yime relates too well Knows all about sneaky boys Just could not resist Thank you for entry Congratulations frivlas! Now on to coin two Second choice diff'rent Yime will use randomizer Number Fifty-Two Who authored that post? Next contestant come on down! Sparticus-0-6!
