Now, I know I've carried on and on to you all about how my little monkey is the cleverest and sweetest little monkey ever, but today, I bring you proof, because, for homework, he wrote this sonnet. I helped him punctuate, and use the Rhyming Dictionary, but other than that, it's the product of his own pure brain:
As I behold the sky as a great dome
It seems my feet leave the ground, I seem to fly
through billions of stars that light this earth, my home.
Then, I look down at the sea, so like a mirror of the sky,
how similar are its depths, and yet so different.
As many silver fish as there are stars in sight,
fixed in the vault of heaven, the firmament;
but the fish, their opposite, as fast as little rays of light.
Now I seem to float to earth again
and come to land soft upon a grassy hill,
The night slips away, as the day's power gains, and
Night seeps from the sky, when the sun asserts his will.
With the sun and stars my dreaming goes
And with the sun, new life into me flows.
Right, people? Pretty freaking awesome. Needless to say, I am quite proud, really.


Excellent! Keep up the good work Mr. Monkey (so sorry to use your animal code-name, but I think I must keep your real identity out of the internet limelight. You know what kind of crazy people come looking on this message board!)
You seem to have quite a gift for expressing yourself. Is this your first poem or do you have reams filling old moleskines?

Go Monkey! It's so good. You should see the crappy sonnets I used to write (still write). Your's is much better. I particularly like how your sentence from the first stanza spills over into the second stanza. The second stanza is my favorite. The meter of its last line is faster than the rest, just like the fish, themselves.
You come from a line of poets, so I'm glad to see you carrying on the tradition. Write more!

Ahhhhh...the scope! Great job Mr. Snuggles. I had the distinct joy of being at the birth of your mother's genius in this regard, and now yours. A gift from that heaven you go dreaming in.
Can you tell I LOVED IT!!!

OMG! I love Sky! Her hair is awesome :) At first I thought "oh whatever," but I am starting to see how much fun these dolls could be. Kind of creepy the photo of your customization [eye poke]. Sometimes I sense that we as fans might not do enough to communicate our appreciation for the performers who give up their bodies and sacrifice their personal lives so that they may entertain. Sometimes I think we falsely assume that the performers just instinctively know.
