The dark is too bright
and I’m falling awake.
My pencil won’t write
and this paper is fake.
This cactus is soft
and my fur coat is rough.
I love doing homework
and can’t get enough.
I hate to win
and love to lose.
I hate exciting games
and love boring news.
Spiders are my friends,
butterflies, my foes.
I know it all sounds strange,
but that is how it goes.

This poem was interesting, it was sort of everything opposite, which makes them catch the interest in your poem. I enjoyed reading it. I also enjoyed reading your note about the poem, and I do believe that it provides a quick smile to anyone in need of one.
Thank you very much! I wrote this poem last year because I was sitting at school and had nothing to do with the last ten minutes class. I wanted to write something. Anything that would bring a little life to the class instead of sitting there, tapping pencils, and frowning at the floor. I wrote the poem and passed it to a friend. She ended up passing it around and everyone, even the teacher, were all smiling. Thank you so much for your comment.
