Hi guys,
may I enter your room as a non-native speaker to present shyly an adaption of mine of a well-known song?
A peculiar combination of frustating ever upcoming discussions about a silly question, a little guitar playing and a whole lot of sunshine on my head has lead to following results:

=======================================
*** Blowin' In The Wind ***
How many willows a noob must cut down
Before you stop callin' him a noob?
Yes, 'n' how many logs a noob has to burn
Before you can leave him to his turn?
Yes, 'n' how many tunas a noob has to cook
Before you stop callin' him a noob?
The answer - my friend - is blowin’ in the wind;
The answer is blowin’ in the wind...
How many fights a noob has to win
Before you stop callin' him a noob?
Yes, 'n' how many bounties a noob must hunt down
Before you stop givin' him a frown?
Yes, 'n' how many clan ranks a noob has to pass
Before you invite him to your class?
The answer - my friend - is blowin’ in the wind;
The answer is blowin’ in the wind...
How many godswords a noob has to get
Before you stop callin' him a noob?
Yes, 'n' how many millions a noob has to show
Before you won't dump him as too poor?
Yes, 'n' how many p-hats a noob has to wear
Before you'll appreciate his gear?
The answer - my friend - is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind...
And now he's got your point...
He cut your willows down...
And now you start blamin' him a nerd...
(In dedication to Bob Dylan)
=======================================

I'd appreciate any critique, especially with the lines
'Yes, 'n' how many logs a noob has to burn
Before you can leave him to his turn?'
I'm unsure if this is a valid English expression.
So, your turn!

Cheers in advance,
Gari

I tired to take your advice the best I couls and this is what i got..
______________________________________________________
Ocean waves,
Rolling in and out.
A gentle breeze,
blowing leaves about.
An eagle fishing,
swooping in from the sky..
You don't know its beauty,
Until you see it from your own eyes..
There's not one place,
I would rather be.
Only with us,
Myself, I, and me.
Watching nature with its Gentle way,
Such inner peace,
On a nice lazy day.
I'd make another line,
But you know how it goes,
Comfy and blisfull,
I'm starting to doze...

Have any of you had a day like this? I usually have lazy days on my favorate day: Saturday!

umm idk what a coul is but i like your poem and previous ones
____________________________________________________

There's a cat sitting on my foot
My leg is feeling numb
I really should be nasty
And kick it up the bum
But, it's so cute, I have no choice
I just have to let it sleep
So, I'm momentary paralysed
And lost the use of both my feet
And now the other cat's arrived
So enchanting and appealing
The purring gets so loud and shrill
That I lose my sense of hearing
And then she jumps onto my lap
And rests her head upon my arm
Further 'paralysing me'
With her captivating charm
And so, each day I spend my life
Like some disabled fool
Thank you God for inventing the cat
I didn't know you could be so
CRUEL!
wrote this for school last year just found it in my binder

OK, I wrote this a while back (It's not my best work), and I'll just post it here.
=======================
With my spear at my hip and fire in my eyes, I am ready to go into battle
With my sword at my side and mercilessness in my soul, I am ready to go into battle
With my bow in my hand and nothing in my head, I am ready to go into battle.
But why?
For land? What about when the land has been tainted with blood?
For honor? What about when honor is just not worth fighting for?
For glory? What about when there is no glory left to have?

I just got out of school. I woke up this morining and this poem came to my head.

I've heard that we meet everyone for some special reason
I know we've had our ups and downs, everyday this season
Some of us will stay together, some of us will dart
But no matter where you go you'll always be in my heart

like it?
