A Pristine County by Nathan
Along the banks
of a river brown,
lies a place
which is a quiet town.
A town of beauty
and a town of wonder
a town of history
and a town of not much blunder.
It is a nice town
where many people thrive
It is the city of New Bern
where people live there lives.
New Bern is,
well I can hardly say.
It is so many things
in so many different ways.
First I shall start
by telling you of beauty.
For what New Bern is
can be defined very truly.
Lots of old buildings
Lots of old houses
From the city itself
to its young ladies in blouses.
Green grass meadows
like in the buriel grounds
The pretty blue brown river,
certainly won't get you down.
Red brick throughout,
or so far that I can tell
for everything in this town
meets the eye very well.
Next I shall talk
of the history of our place.
Which cooks up a good story
of sugar and maybe mace.
Founded by a Swiss,
Therefore named after Bern.
Started out as capital
but war ended its turn.
Many different houses
Attmore-Oliver for example
with war and history surrounding it
its ghosts sit at the mantle.
Tryon Palace is key
in its role in our town
Used to be the capital building
It makes many historians bound
Now I shall tell
of the action in our city
while some people are up and at 'm
others don't do diddly.
Most of the time
our town is rather quiet
but on occasion
its nothing short of a riot.
Our police system however
keeps everything in line.
But its mostly not needed,
because of our sense for the divine.
Many different shows
Many different plays
So many that in fact
It will put you in a daze
So, as you can see
New bern is a tranquil town
a place where you relax
and let your hair down.
New Bern is
the retirement choice of many
for its sense of quiet and smallness
draws in quite many.
Pepsi was made here
in New Bern, dont you know?
Apparently most people do
because they don't come for the snow.
New Bern is not
the only town in our county
Its has other places
that give Craven bounty.
Havelock is,
another town for the books
Cherry Point gives it fame
but it has many other hooks.
Like the movie theater there
it pleases many all day
it shows the latest movies
ones that will make you say Yay!
Bridgeton is
well, across the river
its a mostly rural town
that won't give you shivers.
Although it rather is
a third class-like city
it comes with lots of history
that makes it really witty
Vanceboro is
on the outskirts of the area.
again a rather rural place
but it can still carry ya'.
With one factory
that gives it its fame
Weyerhauser its called
it makes paper like in a game
Trent woods is
more like a sub-division.
Its a smaller like town
but will give you a good vision.
For it is very pretty
Very upper class
Its houses are built to standards
much higher than brass
River Bend is
the last place I shall talk of
on the outer part of the area
its as pretty as a dove.
Its a very big place
so huge that in fact
it has its own PD
just to have your back
So now you have heard,
of Craven County to the fullest.
With all its different things
it sure isn't the dullest.
The only thing left
is your opinion of it.
What would you say
if you were asked to describe it?

Being a ninth grade male, I think about a lot of different things, all the time. I think about school, polotics, sports, and family. Thinking about somethng, leads to thinking about something new, which leads to thinking about something else, and it just keeps going and going. Its like infinity. But, one of the things that I don't think about a lot is my home county, by the name of Craven. When I did get to thinking about it, however, I realized what I really think about it, and what it means to me. Craven county means, so much to me. It was the county that I was born in, and where I have lived all of my life. I know this county up and down, especially my home town, New Bern. I appreciate this county very much, because it has given me so many things that I need. I thas given me the bragging rights as a kid, for example, because it is where Pepsi was first made. But, back to the point, its hard to describe how much this county really means to me, and I don't know why.
I have always enjoyed writing poetry. It kind of runs in my family. I think its fun, easy, and it lets me express some things that I would normally not no how to express. I rather good at it, as well. I can find rhyming words that I need for a stanza really fast. So, it came as natural to me to write a poem for my project here in school, to write a poem. Writing a poem about Craven county seemed like it should be rather easy, when I first started. And it kind of was.
My poem about Craven county describes the county beautifully. It shows how unique it is, by putting a vivid image in your mind of the county, and all of its cities and subdivisions. It describes all of them with detail. It talks about the county's history, beauty, and action, all with good detail and imagery. It makes people want to go to Craven county, specifically New Bern. Every aspect of the county is included with fine detail in my poem, A Pristine County. In my opinion, it is one of my best works that I have ever done, and I hope that someday, it will be recognized.
