Answer 1

Make the most of Life

By:Rachel Dube

Do your best
To show the rest
All of your sweet kindness


Make the most of life
Cause you just have one
Things will be fine
If you just have fun

Don't be shy
Just be your self
Please don't lie
Because you're like nobody else


I hope it works.
It might be a little short but it's my favorite poem by her.

Answer 2

The Forever Friend
by Artur Hawkwing

On my own, but mostly the savannah,
Where the tumbleweeds fade away and die,
Before the glassy sun burns a summer of crystals,
The glistering waters of the high seas
Of which was so far a place as of where vultures roam.
I looked around but you weren't anywhere...
You used to say that you would never die,
But I took the wrong meaning into my heart.
Now the sea is wild with despair,
Deep blue like a prairie of flowers blue,
Where all children of God rest in eternal peace.
I saw you at the end,
You and I, brother and sister of nature,
Brother and sister of heaven and earth,
Your usually calm and heavenly eyes full of tears,
Bitterly falling one after one into a river,
Then the river of life turned red in blood.
My eyes watched in horror.
Slowly and deadly your heart became poisoned,
You disappeared without saying good-bye,
Not a word came out of your mouth.
You became like desolation in its grave.
When once the skies were a realm of stars
And the sun shone brightly in summer skies,
You were there to share the calmness;
But now I stand here in midst of the tall grass
And only the savannah remains.

Answer 3

This is a short poem for them to name. If you use it, I would like to know the name.

By Dag Drahmr

Tail twitches,
on entering the forbidden woods.
Yellow eyes peer,
deep into the shadows.
Nose flairs,
odor rides the wind.
Ears fold back,
scent of foe.
Muscles tighten,
snap of a twig.
Heart beats faster,
fear stirs the blood.
Flight or fight,
the hunt begins.

Answer 4

Some favorites of mine are
Robert Frost's "Stopping by Woods On a Snowy Evening" and
"The Road Not Taken"
Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky", but I think you want to memorize this one!
I love Walter de la Mare's "The Listeners"*
