Poem of the Week # 9 : When Old Lovers Turn Into Friends

When Old Lovers Turn Into Friends

I fell in love one day
It was a love like no other

I was left with no words to say

I prayed that I wouldn’t smother

Gently, he held my hand

He embraced me like he couldn’t let go

We would walk slowly across the beach’s sand
Everyday our love would grow and grow

I thought we were reaching a point of high

But there was a painful shock you couldn’t miss

A brunette with freckles snuck right by

And stole what felt like every kiss



My love was great
But it wasn’t for long
I lost my mate
But will no longer sing a sad song


I guess you could call me naive
I believed forever had no end
Until the day I was deceived
I don’t know how my heart will mend


I’m still left with nothing to say
For a while, I couldn’t even comprehend
Now I’ll wait for the day
When old lovers turn into friends

Rain

Rain is so one of the worst things that I do not like. It's always rains when you have something plan to do outside. I like snow a lot better than rain because you can still do things outside when it is snowing. One thing I do not like about rain is that you can be out side doing something and think that it is not going to rain and it starts poring down rain. Then you get all wet and have to go change your clothes. Some people like rain because of what it does for the earth but if we could get away with out rain I would so like that a lot better. It's just a big pain to try to go out and do something when it is raining. Who wants to go out in the rain and work that's no fun. Tell me what you think about rain and how you like it. We may feel the same way about rain you never know.

Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is a holiday where you give thanks to everything you have in your life. (: It's one of my favorite holidays because we get to eat a lot and we get off school for more than a week, that's always good. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is truly the most exciting thing I look forward to on Thanksgiving. It always gets me ready for the big day ahead of me and it's a truly amazing event that is held in New York each year. Every thanksgiving is held at my house. My aunt and uncle travel 150 miles to celebrate this holiday with us each year. While the boys are out deer hunting, my mom, sister, and I cook the food. We always watch whatever football game that is on and just have a lot of fun. We have a bunch of food at the table each year like turkey, potatoes, apple pie, vanilla pudding, and corn cake. The day after Thanksgiving is Black Friday. Black Friday is an all day event starting at 4 am in the morning or early and people go into stores with HUGE deals to get a lot of their Christmas shopping done for their family. I have never gotten to go in the past with my mom, but now that I have a job and can buy presents I get to go this year and I am super excited! The main reason why I love Thanksgiving is because you just get to cherish everything you have in your life. Everyone should be thankful for whatever they have in their life. Nobody should take for granted the people or things that they have in their life. Give thanks this Thanksgiving by saying thank you to your mom when she cooks the food or thank you to your dad when he is putting up the Christmas lights. A thank you can go a long way, it honestly makes someone’s day. So what are you going to give thanks to this Thanksgiving? What do you think about Thanksgiving? What are some of your family’s traditions? I would love to hear them. Thanks. (:

Snow

While some people like other people hate snow. I happen to be one of those guys that like snow sometimes and sometimes not. I like it because I like the way it looks when it is coming down from the sky. I also like it because I can go out side and play in it when we get the days off from school when the roads are really bad. There are some things that I hate about the snow though like it always makes the roads really bad when I have somewhere to go. It would be awesome if snow could just fall without it being so cold. That would be really nice. What are some of your feelings about snow? I would like to hear them. You never know we might have something in common.

What is it? #8

Try and guess what this is! I wish you the best of luck guys! (: hint: Most of us use it everyday!

Animal of Week #7: Flamingo

You can see flamingos in your local zoo or even in many storybooks. Have you ever wondered why flamingos are pink? Well, a flamingo's pink or reddish feather color comes from its diet, which is high in alpha. Isn't that just strange? I have always wondered that so, I thought I would share that if you were also wondering. Flamingos are very interesting animals they are so talented that they can stand on only one foot. They seem like very gentles animals and which they are to people. There are 5 species of flamingos that occur throughout the world. The greater flamingo is as tall as a grown-up person is. The lesser flamingo is as tall as a first-grader.
The five species are:
- Caribbean Flamingo
- Greater Flamingo
- Chilean Flamingo
- Lesser Flamingo
- Andean Flamingo
- James Flamingo
Where do Flamingos live?
Flamingos live in lagoons, or lakes, where there is lots of mud and water. Flamingos use many of habitats: swamps, tidal flats, and sandy islands. The depth of the water is especially important not only for feeding, but for nesting.
What do they eat?
The typical flamingo diet consists of seeds, blue-green algae, and mollusks they filter out of the water. Using their long legs and partially webbed feet, flamingos will stamp on the muddy bottom of lagoons to mix the food particles with the water. Different species of flamingo have slightly different shaped bills; the different shapes helping it obtain slightly different types of food. Flamingos drink fresh water always.

I think flamingos are very awesome animals and they catch my eye every time I go to the zoo. I hope they never become extinct. That would be very sad if they did. Well what do you think of flamingos? Comment below and tell me! Enjoy (:
