(Tsumina: I'm so happy! I entered a poetry contest a month ago on Poetry.com, and now I'm a semi-finalist! My work's gonna be published in a coffee table edition poem book!! Oh, I'M INCREDIBLY HAPPY!! I'm even eligible to win $10,000, which I just might send half off to my college tuition. I've not much of a use for it anyway. Not like I'm rich, but I've been a seer, not a buyer when it comes to shopping. Oh, I should be getting my geometry test back on Monday, so Hamtaro's fate shall soon be decided…I don't own Hamtaro or any related characters)
Several weeks pass me
The hamsters are kind
Like Mister Chochirii,
The old hamster so blind
Saree, next oldest
She's close to my age
Of them she's toughest
In this hamster cage
There's Tiri and Tur
The playful twins gray
Who mess up their fur
In roughhouse and play.
Last of all, Beanie,
The hamster smallest
A speck to great Chochirii
Who is the tallest.
Memory of she
Who gave the heart charm
Is blurry to me
But this is of what harm?
I'll never escape
We're locked so tight up
Our love'll never shape
I've given it up
One night no slumber
This night no sleep
The sawdust I'm under
I'm buried so deep
Saree, she sees
She knows I'm upset
I miss tall green trees
I miss being a pet.
A small loving lick
Tickles my cheek
My girth gives a kick
I feel I'm so weak
"Let's get away,"
I whisper to her
"Let's seize the day
Feel the wind in our fur!
"Outside, it's glorious!
It fills you with glee
To run in the forest.
So just come with me!
"A plan I have made
Oh, it'll be grand!
Come a new day,
I'll bite the latex hand!
"Out we shall run
And out the door
You'll soon feel the sun
And a grassy green floor!"
The next day did come
And each hamster knew
(When Hamtaro was done)
Just what to do.
The hand with the food
Came bearing seeds
And the hand Hamtaro chewed
Leaving blood in beads
The cage was now open
Each hamster was free
The man had a token
From this anomaly
Out into the world
That was sleeping and shushed
Their plan now unfurled,
Outside they rushed!
The cool summer breeze
Played at their whiskers
And then in the trees
Through grass and thistles.
Liberated they were
Saree said to the rest
And they nodded to her
Those words felt the best!
The world loomed before them
So…what would they do?
This freedom, this gem
Had left them no clue @_@
(Tsumina: So how was that? I hope I used all the words right. This story is coming slowly along, but coming nonetheless. I'm glad to see that I've gotten a good amount of reviews! Thanks so much!)
