WRITER'S ISLAND
suggested the illustration
FISHERMAN
(An Acrostic)
Floating, like an Autumn leaf,
Impatient for a bite,
'Something soon' is his belief,
His before the night.
Eagerly he grasps his line;
Ripples auger well,
'Mine!' he whispers 'This is mine!
A fisherman's tale to tell.'
Nothing! One that got away!
He'll live to fish another day.

MY BEST FRIEND
I can see myself in that, Sis!
I think that's really cool!
If I wore that on Saturday
Wouldn't Taylor drool!
She wouldn't have the legs for it!
Her legs are white and skinny!
While mine are really rather cute!
And I look good in a mini.
I can see myself in that, Sis!
I really like the scarf!
Wouldn't Taylor hate me!
And wouldn't I have a laugh!
She's always got the latest gear!
She makes me feel a fool!
Wouldn't I go one-up on her
If I wore it to school!
I can see myself in that Sis!
But the gloves are a bit way-out.
And the model hasn't got a head!
That's Taylor, without a doubt!

Oh here comes Taylor herself, Sis!
She's just come round the bend.
Let's step out and meet her.

(Taylor is my best friend.)
