LOVE

Love

Love is not a thing to understand.
Love is not a thing to feel.
Love is not a thing to give and receive.
Love is a thing only to become
And eternally be.

calling out names
always asking questions
riding my bike into cars
lazy, tired, and always asleep
on the run wherever i go

Al Capone Does my Shoes

This book is about a boy named Moose Flanagan that his family moved to Alcatraz.Yes he moves to the place where the biggest and the baddest criminals reside. Pretty scary,huh? Well for him,its more of boring. But just take in consideration whats going on and who he`s met. Then you`ll understand. He also has a sister named Natalie who has autism,so she doesnt like to talk to him,just organize rocks or feathers or items of that nature. So even worse. But there is a catch...you do realize that since he`s on the place where the biggest and baddest are..he`s gotta meet the biggest and the baddest of `em all..Al Capone!!! But that is all I can say...So if you wanna find out what happens,get this this book!!! By Mauro Provencio

Invention by Shel Silverstein

I've done it, I've done it!
Guess what I've done!
Invented a light that plugs into the sun.
The sun is bright enough,
the bulb is strong enough,
But, oh, there's only one thing wrong. . .

The cord ain't long enough.

 

A Dream Within A Dream by Edgar Allan Poe

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow--
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand--
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep--while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

The Platypus by Oliver Herford

MY child, the Duck-billed Platypus
A sad example sets for us:
From him we learn how Indecision
Of character provokes Derision.
This vacillating Thing, you see,
Could not decide which he would be,
Fish, Flesh, or Fowl, and chose all three.
The scientists were sorely vexed
To classify him; so perplexed
Their brains that they, with Rage at bay,
Called him a hor-rid name one day,--
A name that baf-fles, frights, and shocks us,--
Ornithorhynchus Paradoxus.
