Symphony

A work of art transformed,
Into a creature.
Delicate beauty abiding in its wings.
Enchanting words, bellowing from its silent flutter…
seeming to dance to a tune being sung from its heart.
So graceful, it seems as though charm is it’s prized possession…

But even something as beautiful as this can fall.

A strong wind begins to blow,
And the butterflies’ wings are unable to withstand such force.
The wind slices like blades,
Making its delicate body tattered and torn,
and its flight almost impossible.
Its wings slowly turn to dust.

The wind is looked upon as evil,
A villain in pursuit,
For taking life from something so perfect,
Staining its immaculate wings,
Making it perfect no more.

The butterfly,
Having no more strength, lets the wind run its course,
One more powerful blow and its will to live is gone.
It floats to the ground and touches the hard, rocky earth
With a silent kiss,
turning the hard ground into a soft resting place.

Its body broken, and color non-existing,
It shudders in defeat.
The symphony sung in its heart
Slowly, silently comes to a close…
A few quiet moments, and its admiring audience responds.
Not with a standing ovation, but with a melody.

The birds chirp softly,
The squirrels scurry rhythmically,
and rain falls to steady the beat.

Silently as a whisper, the butterflies song continues…
and even the wind begins to cry.

Softball

i love softball
My favorite sport.
Have been playing it for four years
and play it every year.
I like it because I am good at it.
I can hit the ball,
Run the bases,
and when the ball is hit to me,
I run up after it.

Embarassed

Hannah’s turn was next to bowl.Hannah wasn’t a good bowler, and she hated bowling.
Hannah, her aunt, and her cousins were at the bowling ally just having a great time bowling and doing all of that fun stuff.Next thimg you know, Hannah went up there about to let go of the bowling ball, and the ball flew all the way back. The vall, luckily, didn’t hit anybody.She was so embarassed. Hannah’s cousins were laughing at her for a second, then they stopped.
After Hannah, her aunt, and her cousins left, Hannah asked about if they saw what happened, and her aunt told her they did. Hannah got embarassed again, but her aunt her story about when she had done it when she was Hannah’s age. Hannah felt so much better after that.

Adorable
I love my dog Shorty
with brown and black fur.
Black nose
and adorable ears
look sweet.
He wakes me up in the morning
by licking my nose.
Loves to shake your hand
and eats poptarts.

Forever
Your beautiful bronze hair
blows in the breeze.
Your eyes sparkle
in the sun that shines.
A beautiful amber color
that mixes in with your
pale skin.Holding me
forever in your arms
don’t let go.There can’t
be a more perfect moment.
Stay with me….
forever.

One day
There couldn’t of been
a more perfect actor.
I couldn’t imagine how
much stress you had,but
I’ll never believe
you killed yourself,
because you didn’t,
no matter what anyone says.
You died slowly and peacefully
in your sleep.I’ll
see you one day,and so will
many others that miss you.

Growing Up
My favorite part of growing up is when I get to drive,vote,and I get a job.
I can’t wait till I am old enough to drive. It will be awesome.I love driving on my vidoe games. I bet it is the same thing.I always ask my mom,”Can I drive?”
Most of the times she says,”No.” Even though I am about to turn fifteen. It is just not right.
I will get to vote when I am eighteen.The next him,we have a presidental elestion. I will get to vote in it. I really wanted to vote this year.but I was to young.
When I am older. I will get to go to college and get the job I always wanted “Teaching kids”.I love teaching,and I love little kids.Teaching and going to be a mom are the most important things that I cann’t wait for.
I really can’t wait for gettig to drive,vote,and getting the job I always wanted.
It is going to be so cool.I will get to do all the things I have waited so long for.I will know how everyone else feels when the get to do the things the have waited half their life for.
