This section I talk about the things in my life that I love. We all have people or things in our lives that we can't live without. This section expresses a few examples of what I truly care about in my life. My friends and my family are what inspired me in these writings. They make me feel loved.

LOVE

My love for you (Sonet) You are my sun, I am your moonMy love, you are my favorite tune.Hand to hand, heart to heart, can you tell me we'll never be apart?Your beautiful eyes shine bright like the starsNo love compares to ours.Like roses love sunshine, my love will be true, I promise for all time I will love you.If you were to leave my heart would break, my smile would be forever fake.Without you I would be without my other half, just empty, without a single laugh.The way i'd be, without your heart, would simply break me into parts.I'd never be myself so true, without the love I get from you.

My Best Friend! Desiree/ DesirooShort, Adorable, Artistic,HilariousLoves to draw and the girl can eat the heck out of some chocolate.Afraid of heights and roller coastersWants to see dragons in real life, to be a cartoonist, and to be world record holder for being the best procrastinator.Resident of Virginia.Donovan

Things I Like and Dislike In this section I write about things I really like in my life and then the things I dislike. There are things that I enjoy and things that I would rather be without. If you really want to know a person it is always important to know their opinions on things. Things that are enjoyable in my life and the not so enjoyable things inspired me to make these writings.

My Hedgehog! Cold nose against my handSpikes that are up and down your land.The cutest ears you have ever seenYou make me rather keen.My hedgehog curled up in her little bedUpon the soothing white fluff you lay your tiny headVixen, Vixen as cute as can beAll I wish is for you to stop poking me ;(

Brother Wolves (Mian Myth)

One day two twin wolves were born. Their father was a great hunter and wanted his sons to be great hunters also, but the twins were not very good at hunting, they loved to howl. Their father told the two brothers that if they if they ever hunted in the woods and came to a bears den they should stay clear of the cave. Wolves that go into a bears cave are surely not to come out again. One day the twins were howling in the woods, when big Bear the owner of the

woods awoke from his slumber. “Who dares awake me from my slumber?” Bear saw the two wolves howling and yanked them both by the tails.”Who dares awake me from my sleep?” “It is me! Ace!” one of the twins yelped, “ and

me Max!” The other yelped. “Why do you howl?” Asked Big Bear. “We are not like other wolves, we do not like to hunt, we like to howl!” squeked Ace. Big Bear looked in suprise at the two twins that stood before him. never in his life

had he seen wolves that did not desire to hunt. “Well, well, well” said Big Bear, “Look at what we have here, two useless wolves that like to howl but don't like to do what wolves are meant to do, hunt. What does your father think of both of you? Dissapoitment I assume. Your father was always a great hunter.” Said Big Bear. “How do you know our father?” Demanded Max. “I am the Great Bear of the woods, I know all and if you follow my directions then I will

show you how to become great hunters and make your father proud.” Ace and Max liked this idea so the twins listened to Big Bears teachings. Weeks passed and the twins would go to Bears and ask for help with hunting advice. The Bear would tell them things to help them but when the wolves would leave they always had more questions that needed to be answered. One night a thick fog swept over the woods and the two twin wolves were seperated. Ace, while making his way through the woods, found Big Bears cave, It was a cave of impenetrable darkness. Ace walked slowly in the

cave to see if he could find Big Bear or even his brother. Then Ace got pulled by the scruff of the neck and thrown into a dungeon. Big Bear then went looking for his next victim, Max. He found him by a nearby creek guzzling down some

water. “Oh there you are, me and your brother were looking for you.,” uttered Big Bear. Max startled by Big Bears presence juat looked at Bear for a couple minutes then chocked out a question. “You know where my brother is?” “Yes,

he is in my den warming himself by my my fire.” Growled Big Bear. “If you come back with me,after we eat I will show you both the way home.” On there way to Big Bears den, Max started to think of what his father once told him

and his brother, to never travel into a bears den. Max tried to run but by that time it was too late, Big Bear was too fast and after a fight Max was knocked out cold. After Max woke up, he and his were face to face with Big Bear. Big Bear chuckled “Silly little wolves weren't you told never to enter a bears den?” “This is what happens to wolves that don't listen to their fathers.” Snarled Bear. “No !” Screaned the wolves, but it was too late, the bear had them and they were never seen again. the wolves were then banished to the moon. As Ace and max's father looked up at the full moon his sons appeared to him. He then began to howl at the moon in the night sky. Still till this day, every time you see a full

moon you can still hear him howling at the shimmering moon above. 7

Math (Humor)My eyes scan the paper, while my heart is full of fear. Wondering why the heck am I even here?I gaze up to look at the clock the hands seem to move slower than a rock.I think of what I can do with my life, rather than this.Then I realize I would probably end up making McNuggets.I hate not knowing what i'm looking at. The stacks of papers are enough to give me a heart attack.As I hear papers being turned over I start to panic, This fear inside me, I simply can't stand it. I start to circle random answers down, I look at my paper and begin to frown.No work to be shown now I won't pass this vigorous class.But i'll finally be happy when it's done at last.For right now I'm stuck with this test, why won't the bell just ring, fast?!

The City of Love The twinklig glimpse of the tower above...Gives me understanding of why you're called “The City of Love.”Your sorroundings calm and graceful,I can't forget your gardens so lovely and beautiful.Your shimmering art work fills me with so much delight,Not to brag but you're even more beautiful at night.I want us to meet one day,When we meet i'll have so much to sayYes, one day we will meet and I will fall in love With your twinkling tower above...

My Nickname!

My Feelings Towards ThingsThis last section expresses deep feelings that need to be expressed. Many people choose to express their feelings in many ways. Whether in poems, songs, or even dance. I chose to express a few of my feelings towards things in poem form. Hopefully my peoms will encourage people to do the same. I was inpired by feelings that tend to be bottled up or feelings that I express.

I Am I am faithful and trustworthyI wonder where my future will lead meI hear my heart beats loudlyI see hope in the distanceI want happinessI am faithful and trustworthy

I pretend I have my life figured outI feel emotion for others around meI touch a glmpse of enjoymentI cry about my insecuritiesI am faithful and trustworthy

I understand that people feel love and others feel hateI say I'm here for the ones I care aboutI dream I'll have everything figured outI try to be successful everyday I hope I'll be happy once againI am faithful and trustworthy

Winter I look outside to be graced with the presence of snowA soothing blanket of snow like cotton upon the ground.No footprints have been made upon this beautiful fountain of snow.As I walk upon the winter wonderland of snow, a single snowflake gently touches my nose.Oh how much I love the gentle touch of coldness in the air I wish for more and more snow each and every year.Oh why must you go so soon Jack frost is there any way to get you to stay?You bring us children many joyful memories and many laughs each time you come to visit.Just think about staying, I welcome you with a smile every year.

Let Them Speak (Tanka) Feelings inside meExplode like a volcano.Don't keep them contained, No, let them be free to speak.Feelings inside be set free.

13

The Foggy Night It comes upon me quickly, it covers me like a shadow.Overwelming my senses, at first, panic starts to take over like being devoured by a beastly creature.Fear consumes me, I try to run but it is in vain.I glance around, but the world around me seems to be getting darker.I must not run, for if I do, I will surely run into the beast I am so ariad of. The beast is something horrible, something too terrible to get away from.I close my eyes praying that this is all a dream, but as the darkness closes in I realize this is all too real.As the fog sweeps over the land, complete darkness is now present.My fear has come true...

14

Gloomy Days Drip, drip, the rain outside falls.How much I wish I was home,by myself, all alone.With my music and my thoughts to keep me company, oh how I hate the rain thats in front of me.The slow pounding of the droplets against the ground, the slow pitter patter sound.I remember a time where rainy days weren't gloomy and instead were fun times, to dance in the rain and feel no painNow I sit looking out a glass window, feeling trapped and contained, oh how I wish I felt no pain. The rain continues to fall, drip, drip.
