My Fido, he barks real loud
Chasing all the squirrels
But I love him, love him, love him
He knows I love him beyond words.
And maybe he smells like dog
But I don't think that's a prob,

'Cause every time he wags his tail
I just wanna yell,

"Let's hear it for the dog!
Let's give the dog a bone!
Let's hear it for my Fido
You know you gotta understand
He may be no Cane Corso
But he's my snuggly one-dog show
Woof, woof, woof,
Let's hear it for the dog!"

My Fido's alert and bright
He won't let strangers by.
He guards me, guards me, guards me
I know I'm always safe by his side.
Sometimes he chews my shoes
But that's the worst he'll ever do,

'Cause every time I see his eyes
I just wanna cry,

"Let's hear it for my dog!
Let's give the dog a treat!
Let's hear it for my Fido
I just gotta let you know
He ain't got no pedigree
But he's the perfect dog for me!
Woof, woof, woof,
Let's hear it for the dog!"

Air, vibrant, living,
Joyful birds sail turquoise skies
Precious sight above.

Water, flowing pure,
Otters slide down riverbanks,
Whales dance in the sea.

Caterpillars munch
Curves into tasty green leaves
Soon to be transformed

Into butterflies
Floating so delicately
Bearing rainbow wings.

Earth, safe home to all
Protect it while we can
Wild friends will thank us.

Devout, in purest prayer unceasing
Across changing kingdoms, ever faithful
No regiments could make him fall away.
In trials, chains, fiery furnaces, standing strong;
Even hungry lions became as kittens for him.
Learn to be like Daniel: strong, wise, Godly.

Jimmy was a brilliant space engineer on the Kokomo 350 starship. Until it veered too close to a black hole, causing the ship to implode, killing everyone on board except him. Now he's suspected of causing the disaster. His career is ruined, he's jaded and disgruntled, and he subsists by delivering meals to humans incarcerated on distant moons.

One day, he delivers a meal to Petra and recognizes her as a mechanic from Kokomo 350. She explains she survived by hiding in a snowcone machine and claims she's imprisoned because she knows why the ship was blown up. Her dog, Snoopy, is a cyborg programmed to help her build snowcone machines which can withstand the forces of black holes.

When Snoopy disappears, leaving behind a pile of disassembled snowcone machines, Petra decodes a cryptic message from a band of rogue ThornJogs, threatening to wreak destruction by unleashing black holes throughout the known universe. She believes they've kidnapped Snoopy to prevent her from building enough snowcone machines to suppress the holes.

Petra escapes from the moon prison with Jimmy being her getaway driver. Together they hack into Snoopy's computers, determining his location. Arriving, they find proof ThornJogs are responsible for what happened to Kokomo 350: an experiment, preparing for a large scale attack.

Jimmy and Petra infect Snoopy with a virus overriding ThornJog orders, destroying their software. But after disabling the threat, a twist arises, jeopardizing the entire universe's stability and testing Jimmy and Petra's skills like never before.

A fantastic proposal: taming a dragon,
Teaching it manners or pulling a wagon.
It's long and hard, but also quite fun
Taming a dragon under the sun.

Adopt an egg first, help it to hatch
Plenty easier than trying to catch.
Once it's a baby, feed it quite well
Hold it, talk to it, trust it can tell.

Your kindness pays off: an obedient fledgling
Stays by your side without any meddling.
Next comes the training, the do and the don't
Patience is crucial, or teaching it won't.

Steadfast like clockwork, your schedule maintain;
This helps it to learn and patterns to gain.
Advance it gently, with plenty of praise
Set goals and levels to guide it in grace.

Soon your dragon will grow strong and mature
A beautiful sight, that's for sure!
Flying freely across summer skies
A creature well-trained, healthy and wise.

20 lines, 144 words, couplets in verses of four lines each.

Merit Badge in Seasons Autumn [Click For More Info] Happy Thanksgiving, and a wonderful day with family and friends. Loads of love, hugs and Yums.*^*Heart*^*

Joe realized too late: he's not destined to be the next Brad Pitt. His destiny instead lies within the crumbling walls of Dinosaur Dreams, an outdated theme park with more violations than patrons. He wears a T-Rex outfit, doing tricks in an attempt to drum up publicity. His income dwindles as inspectors threaten to shut it down.

One day he catches a reporter, Riley, snooping with a metal detector. She tells him she's looking for a legendary harmonica, which can cause landslides by reverberating at Earth's natural frequencies, purportedly buried on the grounds.

Joe schemes to host a massive treasure hunt where he charges admission for a chance to locate the harmonica. He wants Riley to write a front-page story about it. She reluctantly agrees.

But as treasure seekers pour in and Joe makes money, he worries someone will actually find the harmonica and his newly lucrative park will fail. He is determined to find it, digging all night.

Riley competes with him, desperately racing to find it first. She rents a bulldozer and tears down his house, thinking he's already found it and hidden it.

Then, gangsters raid the park, holding them hostage, searching for the harmonica themselves. They want to use it to find buried treasure by making landslides.

Amidst wreckage of house and theme park, can Joe and Riley band together in time to dodge gangsters, find the harmonica, reveal the absurd truth of what everyone's been looking for and even fall in love?

I've watched days slipping away,
Dragged under by hungry Nessie.
Time stands paralyzed, frozen like Stonehenge—
Why am I here? Ropes hold me fast
Binding against my will.
Distraught midnight shrouds my mind;
Fleeting years wasted, clutching what I do not desire.
Shattered piggy bank forces me to wait
In a lineup of slipshod impoverished freaks
Hoping to gain survival by bargaining at the desk…
The return desk, that is.

11 lines, 70 words, free verse.

Task Prompt:
Use hyperbole to write a poem about a minor inconvenience. Make it an epic struggle worthy of legend.

When Charlie The Hungry Moabite invents Latin rap music in 14th century Higginbotham Hollow, the religious elite decries it as demonic garbage. They drum him out of town into the uncharted wilderness of Corduroy Caverns, where he discovers Josh, a nerdy young softie who was supposed to kill the giant dragon who's been terrorizing the village.

Josh would prefer befriending the dragon and reading books to it, but his sarcastic talking sword threatens to turn against him if he does such a traitorous act. Charlie sympathizes with him and hatches a scheme to fool the villagers into thinking the dragon is dead using spaghetti sauce.

Somehow the prank goes awry, and the talking sword uses the spaghetti sauce to convince Josh he's accidentally killed Charlie. The sword thinks if it gets rid of the two cowardly custards, it can go kill the dragon by itself and get all the credit, eventually becoming king of the peasant villagers.

Charlie and the dragon take matters into their own hands, forming a friendly hip-hop duo which impresses the village priest when it helps heal a sick child.

Now convinced of the benefits of rap music and the goodwill of the dragon, the priest must help them rescue softhearted Josh from the vicious talking sword before it takes control of the land.

As believers, who are we?

Are we Peter, grasping Christ's true self,
Growing, maturing, with pure intentions?
Falling flat in denial under trial,
Seeking forgiveness and trying again?

Or are we Judas: devious, scheming,
Purportedly trustworthy but inwardly lost
Desiring only to grasp material wealth
Sacrificing what we should have protected
For a bag of gold?

Perhaps the essence of both
Wrestles in the heart of every believer.
Duality of sin and salvation
Threatens to destroy us each day.

Pray without ceasing. Cling to the Father.
Ask yourself: Who am I? Judas? Or Peter?
