    Such a beautiful sight
    Wet, moving, hydrating
    Flows in the sun
    Moving like dancing person

    The Mill
    There once was an old, crooked mill
    That sat upon Blueberry hill
    It gave me a a fright
    At the horrible sight
    So i ate a big pot of dill.

    Thank You :-)

    There once was a very dark land,

    Despite my fright,
    It wasn't that bright,

      Dill is a seasoning.(You could call it a pepper.) It is usually put in pickle jars to pickle them.

    You can only choose where you're going in life.
    Don't sob when somebody passes on,
    think about the memories and good times you had together.
    Aunts and grandpas can die.
    My aunt died on April 19, 2012
    My grandpa in 1995.
    When my mom held the phone up to my aunt's ear, my aunt spoke her last words to my other aunts.
    But now my aunt is happy with her dad.
    And I will be happy when I die because i'll be with them too.
    I love you Aunt Mary and Grandpa B!

    Life is a time
    where we go and have fun
    not sit and sit in the hot, dry sun.
    Life is a time
    to go on adventures
    on high mountains, on jungles, or on high skyscrapers.
    Life is a time
    where we go and have fun
    not sit and sit in the hot, dry sun.

    I Don't Know What to do Today

    I don't know what to do today,
    I don't know what to say in class,
    I don't know what to play at the park,
    I sure hope I don't meet a shark.
    I don't know what to mark on the test,
    I don't like lemon zest,
    I hope I don't confess,
    I don't like to play chess.
    Hey I know what to do today!
    I'll just write a poem like this!

  17. My name is Randy,
    And I like candy,
    Its very sweet,
    And once I named my favorite candy Pete,
    It was the candy skittles,
    And we like to solve riddles,
    But then it really turned into a real friend!
    But that wasn't the end,
    But what it did, it was as a horrifying thing!
    It gave me a ring,
    I said, I'm a boy, I don't marry you!
    But it said something else.......it's real name was Sue,
    So This whole tome I thought it it was a boy?
    And now playing with my special toy!
    I couldn't take it so I kicked her out and gave the toy to her,
    And I knew that would occur,
    And so that was the end of the story,
    Since that girl was named sue, I wanted to change my name into Lorrie.

    A smart and bright teacher,
    A smart and bright teacher,
    With a brain that fills up other brains.

    And a mouth that shares out descriptive words,
    A heart that is compassionate,
    A voice that uses fluency,
    And Feet that walk proudly.

    A smart and bright teacher,

    Summer Vacation

    I love my vacations in Summer,
    But leaving my teacher and friends is a bummer.
    I know what i'll do!
    I'll do school in the summer!
    I don't know which one is funner.

    I meant to write "funner" because it rhymes with "Summer". :-)

    The wind howling,
    The trees swaying,
    A lightning bolt strikes the ground,
    The thunder snakes through the air.
    The party begins,
    Elves singing loudly,
    Goblins trampling mice.
    Wizards chanting spells.
    The extravaganza begins,
    People roasting chicken,
    Hobits hiding in the caves,
    The leprechauns searching for gold.
    Your journey begins

  41. Hello Reese! You just made my day! I love hearing from you. I hope your summer has been blissful. Have you been playing soccer? I have spent most of my summer at home tending to Parker and now Brooke. They both came down with pneumonia...yikes! We have actually been playing lots of games and simply enjoying the down time. Hopefully once everyone recovers, I'll run into you around town! I can't wait to hear all about your vacation. I miss you!

  47. I came across a shark


    On the way to school


    His fin was very sharp


    And his teeth was very nasty


    I hid him in my locker


    So that teacher would not see


    He stayed there very quietly


    Until frightened by a baby
