<a href=http://www.alacritysim.com/dog.php?id=93871>Alina</a> and <a href=http://www.alacritysim.com/dog.php?id=122031>Alejandro</a> are both dogs in my kennel ^^<br /> <br /> <b>The Wait</b><br /> <br /> She sits by the tracks, so rusty, so old,<br /> Wondering if her heart, is as hard as a stone.<br /> <br /> Standing all alone, with no one around,<br /> Her eyes became dull, and she started to frown.<br /> <br /> She did not enjoy the beautiful scene,<br /> Nor did she notice the plush at her feet.<br /> <br /> Nor did she see the tiny rat, scurry about,<br /> See the plush, curl up and was out!<br /> <br /> She was so tired, her heart nearly shattered,<br /> She dropped to the ground, none of it mattered.<br /> <br /> And as she lay down, her head on her paws,<br /> Her ears perked up, and flickered around.<br /> <br /> She flicked her gaze to the edge of the clearing,<br /> A figure in shadows had started appearing.<br /> <br /> She was on her feet in less than a second,<br /> The figure emerged and started to beckon,<br /> <br /> She trotted ever closer, her face elated,<br /> He was the one, the reason she had waited.<br /> <br /> He stood tall, with antlers so grand,<br /> They were the finest, in all of the lands.<br /> <br /> They met at the edge, their eyes full of love,<br /> You could even see it, from heaven, above.<br /> <br /> <i>“Are you ready?”</i> he whispered in a voice so deep,<br /> She nodded her head, and started to weep.<br /> <br /> “Do not cry, Alina, my love,<br /> For you I would leap to the stars above!”<br /> <br /> “No, Alejandro, stand by me,<br /> And then together, we shall always be.”<br /> <br /> And there they stood, side by side,<br /> They turned to the forest, and disappeared inside.<br /> <br /> They disappeared into a magical city,<br /> To explore the wonders, of the place called Alacrity.<br /> <br /> Wee~ xD

Valentines Day<br /> <br /> Puppydog eyes are all around,<br /> With loveheart-shaped candy everywhere to be found<br /> <br /> Cupid, the famous baby with wings,<br /> Is watching shy couples, waiting to fire his arrows of all things<br /> <br /> Nervous girls and awkward guys,<br /> Ask out their crushes with fear in their eyes<br /> <br /> I was wondering how this day came along,<br /> When you walked up behind me singing my favourite song.<br /> <br /> {Lol, quick thing xP I'm not one for romantic poems}

Entwined<br /> By: Ollie120<br /> <br /> Two hearts entwined.<br /> My heart is beating,<br /> My pride flies by.<br /> Two hearts entwined.<br /> One is yours,<br /> And one is mine.<br /> Do you love me,<br /> Or will I cry?<br /> Two hearts entwined,<br /> One is yours and One is mine.<br /> <br /> <br />

Just a Crush by Kaylee<br /> <br /> It was just another day,<br /> Boring, classes, lame,<br /> Until I saw your face,<br /> And I was not the same.<br /> <br /> You didn’t notice me,<br /> For I was far too shy,<br /> We had some friends in common,<br /> You seemed like a nice guy.<br /> <br /> But what was this emptiness?<br /> Could it be it’s true?<br /> For my heart was only half,<br /> The other half was you!<br /> <br /> I kept my mouth shut,<br /> How could this be?<br /> We barely knew each other,<br /> But I felt I wasn’t me.<br /> <br /> It must have been Cupid!<br /> His arrow so strong,<br /> It had me feeling alone,<br /> With you I must belong!<br /> <br /> How could I confess?<br /> I kept thinking it over,<br /> Until the day you walked to me,<br /> And said “You’re my four-leaf clover!”<br /> <br /> I was so very confused,<br /> But you just smiled and sighed,<br /> “Don’t you understand?<br /> No matter how hard I tired...<br /> <br /> I found I couldn’t stop,<br /> You were always there,<br /> Stuck inside my brain,<br /> Stood your face so fair.”<br /> <br /> I froze on the spot,<br /> and he slowly leaned in,<br /> I took a deep breath,<br /> I felt I’d never been.<br /> <br /> For the first time,<br /> This must have been love,<br /> For nothing else in life,<br /> Had made me soar above.

Forest Stroll:<br /> By: Blue<br /> <br /> As I pad up to you with a smile on my face,<br /> I can't believe what I embrace.<br /> Your gentle paw holding mine,<br /> Just like we are tied together with twine,<br /> As we walk through the forest watching the trees sway in the wind,<br /> I knew we were twinned.<br /> As a leaf falls in my fur,<br /> you say "I will always be with you just like annoying excalibur.".<br /> <br /> Dedicated to my dogs<br /> Caramell http://www.alacritysim.com/dog.php?id=61769<br /> and<br /> Midnight http://www.alacritysim.com/dog.php?id=54346<br /> <br /> And, annoying excalibur is the one from the anime Soul Eater.

<b>Dixie & Wish Bone (Two Dogs In My Kennel)</b><br /> Dixie is running in a green field, Wish Bone barks and she turns to his call.<br /> She dances around him and smiles sweet, he licks her nose and she wags her tail. <br /> They sit by the lake as the sun goes down, she's leaning on him neather has a frown.<br /> This is the time when loves finds its way into all hearts even on Alcrity!<br />
