today, i went to a housewarming party for a friend i've known for a long time. the theme of the party was that we had to create something decorative for her new room. some people made paintings and others made sculptures of fantastical creatures. my contribution was this poem, since i have very little artistic talent. my friend wrote it in watercolour paint and painted some flowers around it for me. the poem itself is lighthearted, but i think conveys the message of how all her friends care for her. the creatures in the poem are references to some of the paintings and sculptures that others created for her.
candles flicker and shadows dance
across the walls, figures prance
moving, changing with every glance
teasing you at every chance
you may see a hedgehog there
or rabbits breeding everywhere
and a robot, to be fair
all have beauty, all are rare
but look inside and you will see
that these creatures are meant to be
reflections of those you see
in your heart, roaming free
