I went with the 5-7-5 rule on some of these. Also, this is my first time trying something like this.","content":"1. Sitting in a room  \n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Wondering where I can travel  \n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Yet I fly freely\n\n2. The rain has fallen  \n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Wind chills my body  \n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; I rub my cold arms\n\n3. There's a monster here  \n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; It growls silently to me  \n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; It's on my roof top\n\n4. The moons light shines bright  \n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Leaves leave fleetingly  \n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Fog blankets the ground\n\n5. Green orchards and fruit  \n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Caught in a moment  \n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; I smile- just a picture\n\n6. Thunder roars loudly  \n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; I feel safe and sound in here  \n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; In my small tiny tent\n\n7. Stop it- the car moves  \n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Plains roll by me slowly  \n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; The sun shines cruelly\n\n8. Sounds come from my closet  \n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; I hug my teddy  \n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; I hope I'll sleep now\n\n9. The alarm rings loudly  \n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; I awake from a good dream  \n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; I then go to work\n\n10. The cold winter breeze  \n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; sweeps the snow quite suddenly  \n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; and then it all stops\n\n11. The lack of something  \n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Dreams, feeling, fear, love  \n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Where's the rule book, Mom?\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
