Hallo, everybody. This is an "Indy poem" I composed as a school assignment. I had to write a rhyming poem under the topic of "Sunshine", but, as you can see, I guess I got a little TOO creative. All I ask is that though I may not have it "copyrighted", please refrain from "cheating" on my hard work. (I trust all of you. You are, after all, "Indyfans"!!)
The beginning rays
Of the day
Dance from the leopard-printed curtains
Onto Indiana Jones' firm shoulders. [*hehe*]
The archaeologist groans but feels refreshed
From the previous day where he narrowly escaped death,
Sprinting from a perilous boulder.
He yawns,
Pleased to see the dawn,
And swings his sturdy legs over the side of the bed.
After splashing cool water on his face,
He turns to embrace
The sunshine now streaming through the window pane.
He parts the drapes, then does his daily fitness routine to keep in shape,
So he can be assured of years of excavations beneath desert terrain.
He quickly pulls on his shirt
And khaki trousers,
Then adds his trusty bullwhip through the loop of his belt.
His Webley is placed at his side,
And he dons his fabulous fur fedora partly made of felt.
Indiana Jones steps out into the golden dawn
With no beings in sight, even around the "cenote": a pond.
He decides
To stride
To the Temple of the Jaguar,
An eerie sight illuminated by the crisp daybreak's light,
Like a scene behind the imposing Mayan structure.
Standing there, at the base of the towering monument,
Stands the beautiful artist Ulla,
Sketching with her wild hair in the wind.
She turns as she hears Jones' salutation,
Then shows him her sketch of the temple, her edifice exactly like her
Presentation.
Indy and Ulla talk about an excavation
Of the colossal temple.
Indiana then starts up the steep steps to see what he can unravel
About the mysterious Mayan civilization.....
