If I Was An Explorer...

If I Was An Explorer...

I would go to discover new islands,

Perhaps with a highland,

Or go to vast seas to find new kinds,

I hope perfectly I am lined.

Found gold or something in a place,

Perfect! Now I can sell it for a profit,

Now pick up the pace,

Sell and get more for a fit.

Discovering new species,

Write about it but won't tease,

Vlog about places,

Doing it with grace.

Exploring big lands,

Digging beaches deep sand,

Or diving through the deep ocean,

Or discover something olden.

Have to get my own fine compass,

Will take an astrolabe and a quadrant when I know their purpose. 

Author's Note

This is a poem for my activity in school, If I Was A Explorer. Our SSC (Also called Social studies) teacher told us we had to make a poem or a paragraph about what would you do if you were a explorer.

Martiya, your poem "If I Was An Explorer" is an adventurous and whimsical journey into the spirit of discovery. The playful tone and the desire to find treasure and knowledge reflect the excitement and wonder that comes with exploration. The use of humor and light-hearted ambition in the lines "Found gold or something in a place / Perfect! Now I can sell it for a profit" adds a delightful touch to the poem, grounding the grandiose dreams in a relatable reality. The progression from discovering new lands and species to the practicalities of navigational tools like the compass and astrolabe is a charming blend of imagination and reality. Your verses are brimming with a sense of curiosity and adventure, painting a vivid picture of what it would be like to step into the shoes of an explorer. The rhyme scheme is catchy and keeps the poem flowing smoothly, making it an enjoyable read. Bravo on your latest poetic adventure!

Martiya, I really love your poem! The adventurous spirit of discovering islands, unearthing treasures, and diving into oceans was so vivid. The blend of exploration and curiosity really shone through, and I liked how you tied it all together with tools like a compass and astrolabe, it was a clever touch! Lovely work!
