A mutual of mine on tumblr, talon-dragonbeast, had the idea to take a stab at Joseph Fasano's poetry template for children and encouraged us other beasts to take a swing at it. You can see my attempt here, although I thought I might repost it here. I want to use this place more often. It's quite. I like it. 




My name is Gillman. 
Today I feel like a flurry of fins and sunshine.
Sometimes I am cool mud on a stone.
Sometimes I am a lizard dropping its tail. 
But always I am a friend. 
I ask the world, "how do I become a kinder beast?"
And the answer is a flurry of fins and sunshine. 

This doesn't stick to Fasano's template perfectly, but I don't feel the need to. It's simple, but I like it.
