I Collect

I collect money to give the poor people
Then my world will be rich.
I collect knowledge to become a scientist,
Then my knowledge can be spread all over the world.
I collect pieces of wood to make a huge ladder
Then I can climb up to the moon.
I collect feathers to make a huge bird
Then I too can fly in the sky.
I collect fabulous gems to decorate my house
Then it looks like a palace.
I collect all these things to make me happy.

(Congratulations Sehen! I like the pattern of your poem and the images that you created. I also like the fact that you chose to use my last month's recipe for writing a poem for this month's issue. That was clever of you! Thanks for sharing it. Sehen, you are a brave, young poet with a bright future ahead of you as a writer!)
