MAY 28, 2009 UNITED FRIENDS CHALLENGE NUMBER ONE HUNDRED FORTY- EIGHT MY AIR, YOUR AIR, EVERYONES AIR!

MAY 28, 2009
UNITED FRIENDS CHALLENGE
NUMBER ONE HUNDRED FORTY- EIGHT
MY AIR, YOUR AIR, EVERY ONES AIR!



Coolpap99s' Challenge

Write a poem about..............YOUR AIR!



MY AIR, YOUR AIR, EVERY ONES' AIR!
  My air
  Your air
Their air
The Others air
That word has so many different tales
It tells, from thick and muggy
To what clothes you might wear..
. We have the kind of air that tells who we think we are
From the Queen of a nation
To the bum in a bar
That is one kind of air
There there is the kind of air
  That tells us if something is heavy
  Or light
Or maybe even just right!
Then we have just plain old air
The stuff we breathe
The very thing we have to have to survive
For without it.. nothing can thrive
My air where I live in Arkansas
Is clean and clear from springtime till winter thaw
Every lungful we draw
Is fit for all whom visit their ma and pa.
So here you have it
What I see when asked about air
Mine air is wonderful
If you care
Tell me about your air
  If you dare!
The End

    No, Not your writing, just is how slow my brain is working.
    I made the last challenge, last night about 10 pm. I set an alarm and wrote fast as I could and stopped mid writing a word when the timer rang. Sigh.. I sat in that chair and fell asleep!!! Woke up this morning and realized I had missed the deadline.. sigh..

    This here poem of yours is NeaT! Really neat!! I like how you did the (She has an 'air' about her)part.
