Getting the Point

It's hard to express with only ten lines The wondrous beauty of the porcupine He doesn't move fast in fact he's quite slow With relaxed motion he goes where he goes His body coverd with rows of sharp things He doesn't have the advantage of wings Many stupid dogs have tried to attack With quills in their nose they never come back Cute little critters small and very chic They may look harmless but they are not weak Heather Ober's Ten Line Contest

Ha! Reminds me of what my family used to say to me when I was little. "You may be small, but you can be very dangerous." (I was a bit daring. :P) I loved this! I know you'll definitely be in the winners circle for this one! Also, how you managed to describe it in 10 lines is beyond me. Such talent!

This is profound write Richard. And a brillaint subject to have picked and touched with an exact perfect couplet. I so much like the last line. It will definitely do well in the contest. Well done. AO

The POINT... clever, you! They maybe cute, but you definitely can't call them cuddly (unless you wanna sleep, cuddled up to a bag of needles). Best of luck on the contest! Along with the platypus and the Mariana's Trench sea creatures, the porcupine is definitely high up there on "Very Odd Creatures"...
