A Penguin - That Would Be Me

Coming back into this world being no human at all this time and not able to talk even at all just concentrate to waddle in rhyme You've guessed it, I'd be a Penguin and I would be the Emperor King the royal one who reigns supreme this would be majestic ever to bring In the many mighty cold regions all over the frozen globe they are in the Antarctic protect each other within their robe They are so fond of their little ones keeping them safe within their shell so clever and intelligent they truly are to be a Penguin is such an honour to tell! ( If I could come back as an animal then it would be my favourite Penguin, so that's what this piece is about).

Hi Gordon, I like how you wrote this piece. I didn't know much about penguins. I haven't really thought about the animal I would like to come back as. I enjoyed your poem though. Have a great day:-) Alexis

Gordon you didn't need the explanation, your words rang loud and clear. A delight to read, I could see that tall impressive Emperor striding through the snow. Lovely poem Thank you.

Hi Gordon! A very sweet poem you wrote! I watched a movie about penguins. They're very protective of each other and their babes. A penguin would be a fine animal to be, though I would suggest we all move to California. :)
