Tamias's Portfolio

[Tamias.Squirrel]

Hi, everyone! Well, I finally decided to make a thread for my art. Here, I'll be uploading select pieces from my literature journal, sketch pad, and orchestra portfolio. In plain words, my poetry, stories, drawings, and music. Happy browsing! Please note that a number of the drawings I upload are actually drawn by Ben. If there's one thing humans can do really well, it's holding a pencil. Ben's working of some clever tablet-based ratio-converting gizmo that will allow me more control when I'm drawing... he's so nice ... but until then, my drawings probably won't be very good. All comments and criticisms are welcome, especially for my stories and music! I Belong Genre: Poem --> Nature --> Comfort Rating: G Today's entry is a poem I wrote this morning, after I failed to sneak in to Ben's chemistry class. Actually, I was almost nabbed by one of the Vet Sci students... Scary stuff. I don't know if I could handle what they do to their animals for the sake of education... I Belong Tamias I belong To the trees They love me And keep me cool during Lazy summer afternoons. Near the mellifluous streams Who talk to me And dampen my face with Their misty fingers Foraging within the berry bushes They feed me And fill my body with Sweet, milky pleasure Among the wild flowers Who, in the eve, bind the innocent together And with a whirl of sensation Change our lives forever. And I know If ever I should find myself far From home To smile For I belong: In this universe, Upon this Earth, Under these stars.

Space Man Stuff Genre: Short Poem --> Phenomena --> Comedy Rating: G I wrote this short one in response to all the hopefuls expecting an alien presence over the next three days. Don't know why you're all getting so excited, honestly. Space Man Stuff Tamias If the space men came today And bundled me up And flew me away And injected my body With space man stuff... Would I really be Any better off?
