free verse...

hey readers! I was going to put this up on Tuesday...but that didn't happen. I am sorry!
Free Verse-
Free verse is poetry whose rhythm is close to the natural rhythm of normal speech. Free verse is usually unrhymed, and it relies on the repetition of sounds, words, and lines.

This poem was in my literature book for school:

Primer Lesson

Carl Sandburg

Look out how you use proud words.

When you let proud words go, it is not easy to call them back.

They wear long boots, hard boots; they walk off proud, the

can't hear you calling--

Look out how you use proud words.

Pretty powerful right?! Well we had this assignment-

Write About It

Using Sandburg's "Primer Lesson" as a model, write your own poem personifying another character quality. Describe how it moves around and what kind of footwear it uses. Endurance might wear a pair of worn-down running shoes; Grace might wear a pair of ballet slippers, etc.

So, this is what I came up with with very little help from my mom! she did think of the cleats used but I pretty much came up with the rest :)

Courage

Luanna J. Wright

We must have courage to make it through the

Hard times in our life.

Courage is not running off when the giants come

In life, but facing your fears.

Courage is as a pair of cleats-standing their

Ground and staying in place.

Use your cleats and stay strong.

So, what do you think? Let me know! =)

bullying..

today a music video by a couple of girls on youtube who Esther and I enjoy watching and listening to came out. its a song that Megan and Liz wrote.
it shows that Liz (the popular girl) bullies Megan...but then on the inside Liz aka the popular girl is very sad deep down because people are saying she isn't pretty or HOT. that is another form of bullying. So Liz, because she is being very hurt, is hurting-bullying-the girl played by Megan.
I also just got done reading a book about autism and bullying tied together in one. in that book, UNLOCKED by Karen Kingsbury, one boy ends up killing himself. he wanted to get out of it but it was too late and his mom couldn't hear him...
my mom told me usually when they commit suicide is a call of help. they are calling out wanting someone to care.
it is really, really sad. my sisters and I-thank you Jesus!-don't have to deal with bullying from going to a school...but there can always be bullying...its just more likely in public schools...and maybe even Christian schools.
Megan and Liz were bullied in middle school....I have never been "bullied"...but any of you out here who have, I am SO sorry.

here is the link to watch it...
(it does have one bad word in the song...and when the girls are taking there clothes off..that sounds way bad but it just shows them taking off all the extras to there outfit etc. and they take off till they are just in a white tank top and jeans. nothing bad. AT ALL :) )

let me know if you watch it.

a poem :)

Sonnet 60

William Shakespeare

Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore,

So do our minutes hasten to their end;

Each changing place with that which goes before,

In sequent toils all forwards do contend.

Nativity once in the main of light,

Crawls to maturity, wherewith being crown'd,

Crooked eclipses 'gainst his glory fight,

And Time that gave doth now his gift confound.

Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth

And delves the parallels in beauty's brow

Feeds on the rarities of nature's truth,

And nothing stands but for his scythe to mow:

                And yet to times in hope my verse shall stand,

          Praising thy worth, despite his cruel hand.

I love this poem! :) Comment and let me know what you think it means! and then if no one gets it or you give up or you don't comment or something...I will do another blog post and tell you what it means (this is a poem for school so my teacher explained it to us, that is how I know! :D)

Have a good night!

sorry I haven't blogged in several days...been pretty busy! =)

I went to my cousin Kayla Miley's birthday party and we had a photo contest and scavenger hunt. we had five different categories in the photo contest and we had to take pictures of those things...my cousin Kristel and I went to the cemetary and these are some I got. :) not all of these did I enter in the contest though. the categories where flower, person, animal, tree, and leaf. but we got several different pictures and then chose one for each and entered! then Kayla's friends she invited which where 5 girls each one in a category. me the leaf category:) 

anyway, here are some of those pics I took last night! I hope you enjoy them!
