Because evolution makes life thrive

and adapt to new places. It can create

amazing things.

Without evolution, the world would not

exist. Evolution may not seem important,

but it makes a big difference in our

everyday lives.

I looked at a screen and saw right away,

how important the words were. It sent

information into my brain and gave me

memories to keep or let loose, what it was

telling me was the importance of evolution.

Because evolution is something captivating

and complicating, it would not be something

most people would understand.

Because evolution makes so much biodiversity,

all the things in nature are put to use. Forests

are like natural farmlands.

Because evolution is important to earth. It is

mesmerizing and astonishing to us.

In the night I heard a creak,

A fast running upon the floor.

Nothing more, but something bleak,

Then a squeaking, opening door.

A silence for many moments there,

But later, a quiet sound, I vow,

Not a sound, nor rustle of hair.

Not a pounce, but a single meow.

From rustled curtains comes a sound,

Everyday, like a chore

Between the bench, unannounced.

Scritch, scratch. Almost getting tore.

Scratching on the bed though, too,

Head tired, looking bored.

His bedtime always past overdue,

Leaning upon the footboard.

Jumping high, he runs downstairs,

A whisper, a screech, a quiet scream.

Not a trace, a single hair.

The meowing, meowing seeps into my dream.

Slower steps back to the top,

Not a thud, nor a single peep.

Back to the room, he comes to a stop,

Tip, tip, fall, fast asleep.

Watching

From the wings, I

Stand silent, heart pounding

The crowd cheers louder and louder

For me
