I Can Be Anything

I Can Be Anything Here in my corner In my little chair I can be anything... Go anywhere. I can be happy. I can be sad. I can be anything... (Try not to be bad). I can be rich. I can be poor. I can be anything... A bird! A wild boar! A princess who sleeps Or loves a big beast. I can be anything I choose in the least. A captain at sea. A cat in a tree. I can be anything I want to be. Live in a castle Inside of a mote. I can be anything... A lion...A goat... A horse on the planes His mane in the wind! I can be anything... A monkey...A ginn... A turtle...A crab... A tiger...A shark! I can be anything... Glow in the dark! A bat, butterfly, Elephant, or dog. I can be anything... Even a hog. A poet...A cook... A fish in a brook. I can be anything... A book in a nook! Travel the planets In spaceships through space! I can be anything And go anyplace. The Moon... or Saturn... Jupiter and Mars! I can go anyplace... Even the Stars! Magical Kingdoms With giants! A King! I can go anyplace... Be anything Here in my corner, In my chair, you see, I can be anything... Even be...Me! 3.22.2017©deborah burch

O Captain my Captain - let us see what those stars look like (and don't hide your 'bad' side). : ) Cheers, Doug.

i agree with the person below, this definitely has a dr seuss flavour to it, and is an unusual angle to write from a child's perspective - congrats on your win!

A gentle song like poem that flows with a carefree beat. The words are lyrical and bounce through this poem drumming up emotions with a gentle inviting beat.
