The template comes from:http://home.online.nsmiley - musicalnoteanlun/gram-po.htm

Write a 5-line poem in the following constructivist manner:

On the first line write a noun of your choice
On the second line write two adjectives joined by and to describe this noun
On the third line write a verb and an adverb to describe this noun in action
Start the fourth line with like or as followed by a comparison
Start the final line with if only followed by a wish

Below is an example of such a poem (written by the Norwegian pupil Sven GrĂ¼ner):

Politician
phoney and false
lying desperately
like a mocking bird
if only I had the key to the bird cage

water
Fast and flowing
Moving quick
Like clouds moving swiftly across the sky
If only I had some whisky right now.

and its counterpart:

Whisky
Complicated and deep
Pleasure awaited
Like a long forgotten vice
If only I had some water right now...

smiley - biggrin

guess where the inspiration comes from:

Bacon
cheesy and ketchupish
arousing me wildly
like delectable cucumbers
if only I could have some for tonight.

::

Girls
nice and friendly
playing cheerfully
like lovely nymphs
If only I could find some...Tell me where!

clzoomer- a bit woobly

Pictures,
Sharp and moving,
seen in passing,
like 1080p 60fps on an HD screen,
if only I wasn't such a nerd.

smiley - geek

Beer
bitter and sweet
flowing freely
Like the water of a fountain
If only the pub was still open...

Expectation
Eager and frustrating
Expressing publicly
Even though we won't win the World Cup

Strong and mysterious
Powerfully moving
Like the shake of an earthquake
If only I could feel it once more

Life
depressing and long
debilitating deeply
like a slough of despond
if only the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation hadn't programmed me this way...

Life
Fragile yet irrepressible
Spreading wingedly
Like flutterbies on the wind
If only I was 42 again.

England.
Comic and comic.
Performing amazingly,
Like a pantomime horse with two heads.
If only they could play in a circus tent next wednesday.

My window,
Dirty and translucent.
Slightly obscuring,
Like the static from a portable aerial.
If only I paid more attention to what is outside.
