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.

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.

Angel of Death

BY:udiah

In darkness of the night
I spied him in a tree
Sat I froze by the sight
He was looking at me
The summer's heat became a chill
The angel of death at his kill

My heart skipped with the fright
Blinked my eyes to bet'r see
Glanced back with all my might
Parted he my comp'ny
My chest was quickly pounding still
The angel of death at his kill

I did rise and take flight
The fear made me to flee
From darkness into light
To free captivity
Unbinding my soul from his will
The angel of death at his kill

Many years since that night
Gazed I on that braz'n be
Mem'ries of still incite
Fears of my slavery
Existence of him makes me ill
The angel of death at his kill

The Bells by Edgar Allen Poe

I

Hear the sledges with the bells -
Silver bells!
What a world of merriment their melody foretells!
How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
In the icy air of night!
While the stars that oversprinkle
All the heavens, seem to twinkle
With a crystalline delight;
Keeping time, time, time,
In a sort of Runic rhyme,
To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells
From the bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, bells -
From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.


II

Hear the mellow wedding bells -
Golden bells!
What a world of happiness their harmony foretells!
Through the balmy air of night
How they ring out their delight! -
From the molten - golden notes,
And all in tune,
What a liquid ditty floats
To the turtle - dove that listens, while she gloats
On the moon!
Oh, from out the sounding cells,
What a gush of euphony voluminously wells!
How it swells!
How it dwells
On the Future! - how it tells
Of the rapture that impels
To the swinging and the ringing
Of the bells, bells, bells -
Of the bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, bells -
To the rhyming and the chiming of the bells!


III

Hear the loud alarum bells -
Brazen bells!
What a tale of terror, now, their turbulency tells!
In the startled ear of night
How they scream out their affright!
Too much horrified to speak,
They can only shriek, shriek,
Out of tune,
In a clamorous appealing to the mercy of the fire,
In a mad expostulation with the deaf and frantic fire,
Leaping higher, higher, higher,
With a desperate desire,
And a resolute endeavor
Now - now to sit, or never,
By the side of the pale - faced moon.
Oh, the bells, bells, bells!
What a tale their terror tells
Of Despair!
How they clang, and clash and roar!
What a horror they outpour
On the bosom of the palpitating air!
Yet the ear, it fully knows,
By the twanging,
And the clanging,
How the danger ebbs and flows;
Yet the ear distinctly tells,
In the jangling,
And the wrangling,
How the danger sinks and swells,
By the sinking or the swelling in the anger of the bells -
Of the bells -
Of the bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, bells -
In the clamor and the clanging of the bells!


IV

Hear the tolling of the bells -
Iron bells!
What a world of solemn thought their monody compels!
In the silence of the night,
How we shiver with affright
At the melancholy menace of their tone!
For every sound that floats
From the rust within their throats
Is a groan.
And the people - ah, the people -
They that dwell up in the steeple,
All alone,
And who, tolling, tolling, tolling,
In that muffled monotone,
Feel a glory in so rolling
On the human heart a stone -
They are neither man nor woman -
They are neither brute nor human -
They are Ghouls: -
And their king it is who tolls: -
And he rolls, rolls, rolls,
Rolls
A paean from the bells!
And his merry bosom swells
With the paean of the bells!
And he dances, and he yells;
Keeping time, time, time,
In a sort of Runic rhyme,
To the paean of the bells: -
Of the bells:
Keeping time, time, time
In a sort of Runic rhyme,
To the throbbing of the bells -
Of the bells, bells, bells: -
To the sobbing of the bells: -
Keeping time, time, time,
As he knells, knells, knells,
In a happy Runic rhyme,
To the rolling of the bells -
Of the bells, bells, bells -
To the tolling of the bells -
Of the bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, bells, -
To the moaning and the groaning of the bells.

The Reasons I love you by David Munoz

The Smell of your hair 
The taste of your kiss
These are the things
That i will aways miss


The sound of your voice
The feel of your hand
They affect me in ways
you could never understand


The love in your heart
The peace in your eyes 
They make me feel 
Like i want to cry


You are a gift 
That God gave to me
And I just feel
That we are meant to be


I'll love you forever
I hope you do too
For it's only a short while
Before we say "I do"

My Little Scrapper

By Judy Muldowney

 

Thinking back through all the years
How swiftly they’ve passed by
I close my eyes and bite my lip
Try so hard not to cry
You were always such a scrapper
A raging thunderstorm
The day you shed your diaper
You donned a uniform.

Fear – never a factor
With the toughest, there you stood
You have the will, the soul,
the heart...
But, I always knew you would
I watch you while you’re sleeping
So still, so calm, serene
Once you step upon
That football field
You’re one powerful machine.

I marvel at your talents
You’re intense and dedicated
So keen, devoted, daring
Just as I anticipated
Your qualities are endless
You’re faithful, kind and true
Righteous and respected
A leader, Josh, that’s you!

Watching you play any sport
Has always been a pleasure
You’re masterful and focused
My pride - I can not measure
And now my little scrapper
You’ve become a strapping man
So stay steadfast … follow the sun
And be the best you can!

My Shadow

By Robert Louis Stevenson

I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,

And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.

He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;

And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.

The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow—

Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow;

For he sometimes shoots up taller like an india-rubber ball,

And he sometimes gets so little that there's none of him at all.

He hasn't got a notion of how children ought to play,

And can only make a fool of me in every sort of way.

He stays so close beside me, he's a coward you can see;

I'd think shame to stick to nursie as that shadow sticks to me!

One morning, very early, before the sun was up,

I rose and found the shining dew on every buttercup;

But my lazy little shadow, like an errant sleepy-head,

Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.

Hope by Emily Dickinson

"Hope" is the thing with feathers                                                                                                                   That perches in the soul                                                                                                                                 And sings the tune without the words                                                                                                               And never stops at all.

The DJ

The DJ spun the decks so fine, using the passion of music to blow their minds, with a flick and a tuck of the wrist it had all begun as the DJ was a number one.

Slowly the DJ teased and the DJ tantalised, slowly the DJ built up the speed and made them fantasies, as the DJ’s passion grew ever more, bodies danced crazed upon the dance floor.

After winding up to the extreme, the DJ wound down or so it would seem, just as the slower moves had begun, the DJ would show them why this DJ was number one.

Squirming and twitching, all were once more as the DJ blasted pure sound across the crazed dance floor, a powerful blast of so much extreme, the ladies near the speakers were feeling the lyrical dream.

After taking them up and bringing them down, sweat and hormones stumbled all around, now it was up to the DJ, was the DJ getting bored entertaining the screaming hoard or had the DJ only started to play after all the DJ would be back another day.

The DJ had decided to wind down for the night, as the DJ had seen something quit interesting and tight, once the set had come to an end the DJ

 managed to finally get a drink for which the DJ did send.

My Best Friend(: By Elende Wharton

posted By: Vanessa.J :D

She's my best friend,
Till the very end,
She makes me smile,
All the while,
When she goes away,
I miss her every day,
She cheers me up when I have a frown,
And turns that frown upside down,
She's always the one who knows what to say,
I promise you I'm here too stay,
We have so many memories,
That are going to stay with me,
We've had so much fun,
And more to come,
Your my one and only trophy.

Food Fight by Kenn Nesbitt

We’d never seen the teachers
in a state of such distress.
The principal was yelling
that the lunchroom was a mess.


It started off so innocent
when someone threw a bun,
but all the other kids decided
they should join the fun.

It instantly turned into
an enormous lunchroom feud,
as students started hurling
all their halfway-eaten food.

A glob went whizzing through the air,
impacting on the wall.
Another chunk went sailing out
the doorway to the hall.

The food was splattered everywhere—
the ceilings, walls, and doors.
A sloppy, gloppy mess was on
the tables and the floors.

And so our good custodian
ran out to grab his mop.
It took him half the afternoon
to clean up all the slop.

The teachers even used some words
we’re not supposed to mention.
And that’s how all the kids and teachers
wound up in detention.

New World by Shel Silverstein

Upside-down trees swinging' free,
Busses float and buildings dangle:
Now and then it's nice to see
The world-from a different angle.

Free Time and Homework

Free time is like summer,


Under the blue sky umbrella

Wrapping its warm protection around me

While homework is like winter

Holding me prisoner

With its vice grip hold

Free time is like a frog

Croaking, jumping, and splashing

Safely in a pond

But homework is like a snake

Slithering around underneath

In its icy underground world

Free time is like my favorite pajamas

Soft and loose against my skin

But homework is like a straitjacket

Tight, binding on my skin

Taking away my breath

The Hunger Games By: Suzanne Collins

In the Nation of Panem, lies the Capitol surrounded by twelve districts. The Capitol a rough and cruel and keeps the districts in rule by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve to eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen from district twelve, glances it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the games.But Katniss has been close to dead before and survival , for her, is second nature. But without really meaning to, she becomes a competitor. But if she is to accomplish, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

Poem by:Shel Silverstein Post By: Joshua Rollins

                                                             MERRY...
                          No one's hangin' stockin's up,
                                       No one's bakin' pie,
                                       No one's lookin' up to see
                                       A new star in the sky.
                                       No one's talkin' brotherhood,
                                       No one's givin' gifts,
                                       And no one loves a Christmas tree
                                       On March the twenty-fifth.

I, Too, Sing America by Langston Hughes posted by Hugo Loya

April 18, 2012

 I, Too, Sing America 

I, too, sing America.

I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.

Tomorrow,
I'll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody'll dare
Say to me,
"Eat in the kitchen,"
Then.

Besides,
They'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed--

I, too, am America. 

Fire and ice- poem by Samantha Deuble

Some say the world will end in fire,
        Some say in ice.
From what i've tasted in desire
I hold with those who favor fire
but if it had to perish twice
I think i know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
         is also great
     And would suffice
                             - Robert Frost

POEM

Basketball's my favorite sport. I dribble up and down the court. The ball goes bouncing off my toes and beans the teacher on the nose. He stumbles back and grabs his nose and hits the wall and down he goes. The other players stop and stare. They've never heard the teacher swear. With no one playing anymore. I grab the ball. I shoot. I score. I love this game! It's so much fun. The teacher cried, but, hey--we won. --Kenn Nesbitt

I Love u More Each and Every day

I Love u More Each and Every day

I love you more each and every day,
Your so beautiful and perfect in every way,
My love for u will never delay,
I’ll never let go, not even for a day,

I’ll never leave you,
I’ll always be by your side,
To hold you and to protect you,
always making your day shine,

On new years day,
the day we first kissed,
is a beautiful day,
that I’ll never miss

I’ll cherish you for ever and ever,
I’ll protect you through any terror,
I’ll never make your heart tear,
I’ll only do the opposite and care.

Walk Two Moons. By Sharon Creech

Walk Two Moons it's a book about this
Native American girl that goes with her Grandparents
to find her mom who mysteriously disappeared into the
wild.
Although I haven't finished the book yet I think it's very interesting
because I really like the settings and the way it gives out details,
I wouldn't recommend this to my friends because I still haven't
finished the book and I want to see what happens at the end
so I can recommend it to my friends.

The Hunger Games

Every year the Capitol of Panem hosts an event called the Hunger Games where two "tributes"  a boy and a girl – are drafted from each of the twelve districts to be brought to an arena and fight to the death. Only one person can win. This is to remind the country not to rebel  and for entertainment, of course. This year, unfortunately, Katniss's little sister is selected for the Hunger Games, so Katniss volunteers to take her place. Also selected is Peeta Mellark, the baker's son, who maybe has a teensy tiny crush on Katniss. Maybe. I am barley into the fifth chapter in the book and i can already say i would recommend this to a friend because it is such a interesting book

Football Genius By Tim Green

     I started reading this book during the writing STAAR Test. I actually really liked it because it's about what i love to do, play football. Their's this kid named Troy that can look at any game and know what is going to happen next in the blink of an eye. He plays football too, as the quarterback, but their's this other guy that always plays first just because his dad's the coach. Well i really like this book so far, I have to get more into it.

Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder

This book is about a little girl named Laura Ingalls, and her family. Laura and her family had just moved out of the big woods in Wisconsin and moved onto a prairie somewhere in Kansas. Though, with this new farm life it can have a few ups and downs for Laura's family. In my opinion this book is a great read because of all the detail it has about a pioneer life. If you are a person who wants a great classic to read, you should read this book.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

The Hunger Games is a really good book were they pick 2 children to play in the Hunger Games if you win you get fame and fortune but if you lose it means certain death. District 12 is a town were everyone is starving the only way to get food is to go to the forest and hunt and that's illegal but some guards act lie they don't see them because they are as hungry as everyone else. If you like of action you should really read this book.

Runt

Runt is about a kid named robert who lost most of his family and lives with his sister. He met a kid named mitch with cancer a the cemetery and he had cancer. The kid later died and even though he didn't like him at first they became best friends. Hes been trying to leave his sisters house and then a man said how might that make her feel so now most of his day he goes to his friends mitch's house because his parents enjoy his company. SO far he's really confused and doesn't know what to do.

Al Capone Does My Shirts

This book is about a security guards son who wants to meet Al Capone, but the wardens daughter is just to nosey and wont let him!This book is just plain good i suggest to anyone whom wants to know how it was back then!

Flipped by Wendelin Van Dorren

Two different opinions and two very different people "The first time she saw him she flipped. The first time he saw her he ran."~ quoted from the book "Flipped." If only they had a chance to talk about the main problem, then there wouldnt be nearly half a decade of strategic avoidance and social discomfort.
Flipped is an astonishing book about a girl named Juliana Baker who struggles to see the sum of its parts rather than the small details of life that create true magic. As Julie struggles with love Bryce Loski can't seem to avoid it. Being uncomfortable for half a decade, Bryce can not come over past the wall cloistering him from the truth that is right in front of him. I recomment this book because it shows the true meaning of magic. It shows the tinest of details added together to create the magic. This book can not be compared to any other and has truely impacted me and my point of view of life.

Blood Trail By:Nancy Springer

Blood Trail is a mystery and scary book about a boy who gets murdered and his best friend is trying to find out who murdered him. This book leaves you in suspense and will have you off the edge of your seat. I recommened this book to anyone who likes a good scare.Aaron (Jeramys best friend) can not sleep until he finds out who murderd his friend. When I read this book I could not put it down.

Percy Jackson The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

I have finally finished The Lightning Thief and I really enjoyed the twist at the end.  The prophecy that Percy got from the Spirit of Delphi comes true. Percy is betrayed by a friend and is left to die at the end of the book.  Before he is betrayed however, he must leave on a quest with his two friends, Annabeth and Grover, to return the lightning bolt to Zeus by the summer solstice, which is approaching in a matter of days.  Percy has an another quest on his mind- to save his mother, who was captured by a Minotaur and is being held by Hades in the Underworld. Percy and his two friends must travel across the country to complete their task and manage to stay alive as they meet many dangerous creatures of Greek mythology.

OKAY FOR NOW

Messenger

This book is (kind of) the continuation of The Giver because Gabriel and Jonas are in the book. The book is about the place where Jonas and Gabriel arrived with the sled in the first book: it is called Village. But in this book the main character is called Matty. He lives with a blind man. A lot of people that live in Village come other places looking for a better place to live; like Gabriel and Jonas.
Also, there is a Forest near Village that a lot of people think is very dangerous; because people have actually died in the Forest. But Matty likes going in the Forest. He goes in and out and nothing happens to him. There is a special connection between him and the Forest.
Another thing I have to mention is that there is a frog with a unique mark involved in the story that the author keeps mentioning. Matty founded and he wished the frog wasn't like that. I am trying to find out why is this frog so special. I am going to keep reading to find out.

The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games which is about a corrupt government sets a nice pase as the districts send one person from there own district to fight to the death. which is a sixteen year old girl has her twelve year old sister gets picked knowing this she volunteers herself.

After winning the 74th Hunger Games in the previous novel, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark return home to District 12, the poorest sector in the fictional country of Panem. On the day that Katniss and Peeta are to start a "Victory Tour" of the country, she is visited by President Snow.

President Snow tells Katniss that when she defied the Capitol, she created talk of rebellion in the districts. He threatens to kill her family and friends if she cannot prove to everyone in Panem that her act was not one of defiance, but that she was instead driven by an intense love for Peeta.This the most impotant part up to where I have read.

Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer

Artemis Fowl II is the twelve-year-old son of an Irish crime lord, Artemis Fowl I. After significant research, Artemis believes that he has confirmed the existence of fairies. He tracks down an alcoholic sprite posing as a healer in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and travels there with his bodyguard Butler to obtain from her The Book of the People—the Fairy holy book that is written in Gnommish

Meanwhile, Captain Holly Short of the Lower Elements Police is tracking a rogue troll that has managed to reach the surface of the Earth from the fairy city, deep underground. Assisted by a technically minded centaur called Foaly and LEPrecon commander Julius Root, she incapacitates the troll. However, this uses the last of her magic, and Commander Root demands that she complete the magic restoring ritual.
Artemis decodes the Book using translating software, and in the process, learns the specifics of the ritual: taking an acorn from an ancient oak tree near a bend in a river under the full moon and planting it elsewhere. Artemis and Butler track down over 100 possible locations for the ritual and start a stakeout; after nearly four months, they discover Holly performing the ritual. Butler tranquillises Holly with a hypodermic syringe.

A LEP retrieval team is sent to scout Fowl Manor. Using their 'shielding' ability, which allows them to vibrate faster than the human eye can follow, the team enters the manor grounds. Artemis had anticipated this, however, and installed a camera with a high frames-per-second rate, allowing him to detect the threat by freezing the image. After Butler incapacitates the intruders, Root decides to lay siege to Fowl Manor using a time-stop and enter negotiations. Artemis reveals the ransom demand: one metric ton of 24-carat gold. Artemis also reveals his knowledge of the time-stop and claims that he can escape it. An analysis by LEP behaviour experts determines that Artemis is telling the truth, or thinks he is. This most of the book and it seems very interresting.

      Jumper by Steven Gould, is a novel about a guy named David that figures out he has an ability that he's never heard of. He finds out that he could jump when he was getting beat by his father.

David could go wherever he wanted whenever he wanted.  It gets really interesting, even though I've only read the beginning, it's a really good book.

Ever and Damen both missed hugging and holding hands but didn't wanna risk anyone dying. They also started planning on how to beat Roman and how to get revenge on what he had done.

I recommend it to Twilight Fans.

It even shows problems she has at home so, I think the book is especially for girls to let us know that we are not the only ones who are always struggling in Middle School so I really like this book, I think is really funny and I really recommended!!!

Haynes Welding Manual

On my last blog I wrote about MIG-welding. This type of welding is very common for odd jobs around the house. MIG-welding can fix a rod iron table that has broken, it can mend a chain link fence, and it can be used to make an iron stand for your fire wood. I finally made it through the last chapter of my book and it teaches you how to make a utility trailer through MIG-welding. Utility trailers can be used to haul camping gear, lumber, yard trimmings, furniture, and lots of other odd things. It’s my goal to make my very own utility trailer this summer. With my dad at my side and helping me and lots of practice I really think I will be successful!

A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Reptile Room by Lemony Snicket

I really like this book. It is about three siblings who have special powers. The oldest one is Violet; she is very good at inventing things. Then there is Klaus; he loves reading. He has read more books than a person might have read in their whole life (he is 10 years old), so he is really smart. The youngest one is Sunny, she is a baby. She has very, very sharp teeth.
Their parents died, so their living with a relative who really likes snakes. So far everything is great. But I am sure is not going to stay like this. It is a series of unfortunate events.

Pride and Prejudice (continuing)

The next day after the ball Jane and Elizabeth began talking about Mr.Bingley and Mr.Darcey. Elizabeth was pleased that Mr.Bingley had asked her to dance twice and was also telling her sister Jane about it. They also talked about Mr.Darcey's and Mr.Bingely's friendship and how weird it was because they had different attitudes and characteristics. The only thing they had in common was their handsomeness but Mr.Darcey was a lot more conceited than Mr.Bingley. They also said that Mr.Bingley's sisters were very kind and agreeable people that had very good manners. They also started discussing about Mr.Bingley's wealth and fashion. I know the book has a lot to reveal and I cant wait for all the surprises that are to come.
