Poetry schmoetry…
If you know me, you know that I have never been a big fan of poetry. (I can hear Mrs. Andrada laughing now!) I have always felt like it should rhyme…you know….cat and the hat and all that… Well, we are deep in the midst of our poetry unit and it is starting to grow on me.
Hold your pants on boys and girls…I didn’t say i was a poetry lover. I just said that it is starting to grow on me…
So, with that being said, choose something that you love, search the internet, and post a poem. I would love to read some of the poems that you find cool…
Please remember to give props where props are due. If you didn’t write it, give the author credit!

Beach Chairs
Sitting on the beach chairs
watching the setting sun
holding hands and reminiscing
how it all begun
Sitting on the beach chairs
watching the ships out on the sea
holding hands and smiling
together we’re meant to be
Sitting on the beach chairs
watching people walking past
holding hands and knowing
that our love will always last
Sitting on the beach chairs
watching the waves along the shore
holding hands we realize
our love is stronger than before
Sitting on the beach chairs
watching the changing tide
holding hands with happiness
to be by each others side
Sitting on the beach chairs
watching the sunrise
holding hands with tears of joy
there are no more good-byes

Oh little butterfly, what a beautiful sight of you
Flying so high and circling around the trees
Your wings are so beautiful with sparkling colours
My eyes sre dazzling when I look at you
When you are a caterpillar, curled up on a leaf
When you begin to fly then you are a beautiful butterfly
When the spring comes you make everyone happy
but during the winter you hide and make us sad
When you are dancing through the sky
feeling those stars are so close to our eyes
You cannot make any sound but you see the world clearly
So many stories are made for you
and our children are so crazy on you
Hope they will not catch you and keep you with them
and allow you to live freely in this world forever.

Swimming
Swimming through the darkness
Swimming through my doubts
Through my fears
Through my past
Swimming through my anger
Almost getting drowned in my emotions
Yet swimming still through the storm
Trying to get myself towards the shore
I am swimming through my life
Through my present
Through the light of the sun
Through joys and sadness

MY WORLD
ONCE I WALKED THROUGH CANDY LAND AND ALL THE STARS WERE STARBURSTS,THAT I COULD TOUCH.
THE RAIN WAS GUM AND GOOEY.I
IT SNOWED HERSHEY KISSES .THAT WAS GREAT!
THE WORMS WERE GUMMY WORMS AND ALL
THE BEAR TUMMIES WERE CRUNCH BARS.
LOGS WERE RED LICORICE STICKS.
I SAW A LAKE ALL MADE OF ICE CREAM.
BUT,I FELL INTO IT.
THE LEAVES WERE LITTLE MARSHMALLOWS FALLING
FALLING IN MY BASKETS.CANDY CANES WERE THE CANDY LAND FLAG.
LEMON DROPS WERE YELLOW GRASS.Mmmmmmmmmm.
ALL THE FISH WERE GOLDFISH CRACKERS.
I DIDNT KNOW ABOUT THE SKITTLE BUGS. MALT BALLS WERE
LITTLE DEER RUNNING.
YUMMMMY!
,BUT WHEN I WOKE UP
IT WAS JUST A DREAM

Today I will run as far as I can and I will not stop until I am spent. I will run from my fears, and run from the pain.
Today, I will run and I will run without gain. I will run, today, with a power to live. I will run with my love and my pride and my hate.
I will run today and no one will know that I am running away and no one said “go.”
When I run today, I will not think, my mind and thoughts will my legs overtake.
My muscles will pump and the blood will flow through, my joints will ache and my body will drain. But through all of this I will keep running, because when I run, to the road I’ve submit.
My mind will be gone in its own quite place, and no noise will I hear nor smile will I fake.
Today I will run as strong as I can and today I will run with no finish line.

The day of Easter.
On the day of easter my family and I went to a park so they could hide the eggs. My cousins and friends went to it. While they were hiding them we went to explore the park. We found all kinds of rocks and shells. When my parents were done we went to go look for them. I found a lot of candy and money. I found like $15.00 (I was so exited) and I started looking for more eggs but they were over. We ate carne asada with wacamole and some beans and rice. After we ate our jumper came and we started jumping on it. Finally my parents said to get ready so we could go. IT WAS SO FUN!!!

This Easter Vaction was boring/kind of fun. The fun part was that my cusion from another state came, IDK which one but yeah. He is really funny, and sometimes can be annoying! But I think I can live with it. The other reason why it was kind of fun was because my BEST FRIEND came down from Fresno! We went to Jessika’s house, and then slept over and her brothers are really stupid so they are like really funny!
The boring part of vaction was not having anything to do until my cusion and Alyssa came down. And my brothers are a pain so i didnt want to do anything to make them get involed. So all i did was get on the computer and go on myspace or play some game that my friend sent me. But other then that it was a pretty good vaction!!!!! Until school came on Tuesday……
