planet
of course it's a planet

I believe it's a dwarf planet now? Anyways, I understand why it's not a planet. This poem really doesn't reflect my views on Pluto being a planet or not. xD Anyways, I'm just excited to say to my grandchildren or any children when I'm old and pretending to be senile. "When I was your age, Pluto was a planet!"

This is really cool! I think Pluto should still be a planet...

Hee hee, like I said before, it's refreshing to read stuff like this.
I feel very conflicted right now. I am a little angry because you made me read French and use my brain, but I also feel a little stupid for not just using a translator... and I also feel happy because of what you said.
Yes. French is annoying. <- Fact

lol I didn't say your poems are all butterfies and daisies, they always have certain dark truths to them, but just the way you put it is sort of witty and fun to read, and kind of eases the meaning behind it, telling the person it's not that bad, but by acknowledging it, you have noted that it is a bad thing. I like that.
I think I have a tendency to put humor in my poems because I'm not very good at comforting people with words (actions is easier, but that's awkward if you don't know the person well), so lots of the time I'll just say something and try to make him/her laugh. It might not make everything better, but at least he/she was able to laugh a little and forget whatever is making him/her sad for a second. I don't know. That's just the way I do things. My older poetry used to be mostly depressing, but I stay away from that now.

Well, you've certainly achieved that goal. Your poems have a natural flow to them, and they are very witty. I wish I could write like that, all my writings are deep and mysterious and dark and depressing...
moi aussi, and I'm really glsd that someone gets it. pluto is a planet. you know there proof is that if pluto was any closer to the sun it would melt so it cant be a planet. well duh, thats why pluto is way in the back so it doesnt melt. -that doesnt mean its not a planet. but anyway...
Lol. Thanks, but I think I wrote this a little past noon at school during lunch. I wrote it with three or so other poems. I tend to write my poems in twos, threes, or fours. xD I love that it made you laugh. I try to make them... witty, I guess, but I also try to have some "hidden" or "clouded over" meaning to them.

Haha, I love it! Every time I read something of your it makes me laugh, and it seems it's always late at night, so that must be when your poetic side comes out! Keep writing, but don't stay up too long, a lot of sleep is good for ya!
