I am a mouse in a sea of cats A red fish in a blue school I know not what to do So I decide, having read the writing Etched upon the wall, I decide I shall be like Despereaux! Let out a defiant squeakl Lift my pokey-pen sword And charge forth! I shall be Jack the Giant Slayer Destroy my fears, speak brazenly As I run off, leaving this Phrase etched into the wall, Waiting for the next timid mouse to read; Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero (Pluck the day and put no trust in the future)
I have a poetry assignment for which there is a rubric. We are to write a carpe diem poem, but none of my previous ones fit the guidelines as they are missing certain 'elements'
If any one wishes to know the meaning behind this, they need only ask :)
