NOTE: These two characters were made up by my nephew (6yrs old). He didn't understand that you just can't be a bad boy. My mother (his granny) decided to teach him about the good angel and bad angel on each shoulder. She told him to name each one.....and these were the names he gave them. PW=good...devila=bad. So i wrote a poem about all this.


The Battle of Pillow Wickey and Devila:


Pillow Wickey and Devila cried out war.
Pillow Wickey and Devila cried no more.
For they died in battle in a serious fight
To see which had the most powerful might.

A wage against quarrels of good and bad
To see which part of world's they had.
It lasted for days, and months, and years.
All that came were the lonley tears.

A mental bunker then was formed
In contradiction to a future warned.
Avoiding life completely mere,
And making sure that it is dear.

Pillow Wickey and Devila have been here all of time.
Dodging war and loving love is within state of mind.
Judgement calls and logic ways are simply to survive.
Ah my foes, and oh my friends to be is being alive!



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them!

I've heard about these angels in some religions that are just there supposedly on our shoulders as recorders of our good or bad deeds. Its a very imaginative poem and one that I've thoroughly enjoyed.

  Hey. I thought that this was really interesting. Something that can seem to simple to little kids is actually a complicated mess..I really liked the way you put all this into a great poem. Well, catcha on the flipside.

I loved your concept in this Javier ... you've got a very creative and fun mom! You've encompassed these thoughts well, and I enjoy the idea of this. I've always felt we each have these little fellows on our shoulders, whispering away and battling it out, much enjoyed!  

Best wishes,
/Kit

I think this is a very creative way of explaining this, the poem is extremely well done.  I love it!

I loved the way this rhymed.  A powerful yet simple moral lesson.  Good job!

The solitude my guide
Would I spend forever here
And not be satisfied?
