Hi... I Wrote a Poem About a Sandwich

After reading The Piano Girl's poem about a jar of peanut butter, I decided to share a piece of my homework with you. I had to write out a plotted poem (basically just a poem that has rising action, a climax, and falling action) for my Literature class. Naturally, my subject of choice was food. It's a little long and a little embarrassing, but oh well here we go. Hope you like it! XP

I laid out the bread, some cheese, some meat –
vegetables too, onions and beets
Added some green with lettuce and spinach,
For ‘twas lunchtime, and I craved a sandwich.

The cheese curled off the silver knife,
And I had to eat for quality of life
As the ham was layered, thick and moist,
My stomach made sure its hunger was voiced.

All assembled, and all present,
The sandwich I had made
Stood proud and stood scrumptious;
not an onion was mislaid.

As I took hold of the sandwich and breathed in the scent,
I knew my hunger had now reached its peak!
But ah, read on, please do, please do,
For the rest I am too sad to speak

Not my hollow stomach
Did the sandwich fill and restore;
‘Cause I did only what a person like I would –
I dropped it on the floor!

‘Tis good, thought I sadly,
watching the cat enjoy my lunch
That at least a meal went to someone hungry;
I’ll find something else to munch

Captain America: Civil War sketches!

Hello hello!
Weeeeelllll haha I know I haven't been on since before Christmas *hides* so we'll just breeze past that and glide into the post I hope you had a nice Christmas and all that

I love this movie so much. Seriously. CA: Civil War one of my very favorite Marvel movies. It has fantastic action, good pacing, and I like literally every character in it. So naturally, the other day I was designing some of my favorite characters as dragons. ("It is a weakness with me, but to be fair to myself... it is my only weakness.")
Without further ado, here are the sketches I was doing in my journal. :3 Hope you guys enjoy them!
Spider-Man
Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier
Vision
Steve Rogers/Captain America

Oh yeah, all of the text beside them are from songs. In order, the songs are 'Left Hand Free' by Alt-J, 'New Blood' by Zayde Wolf, and 'This is War' by 30 Seconds To Mars. Alright, thanks for looking! Have a good rest of your weekend! :D
