Poem 1

Dreams

For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow

Janurary Holidays

Epiphany-Commonly known as Three Kings’ Day in the United States, is on January 6. It celebrates the three wise men’s visit to baby Jesus and also remembers his baptism, according to the Christian Bible’s events. The United States (US) Virgin Islands observe the day as a public holiday. Ash Wednesday-Some Christians in the United States attend special Ash Wednesday church services. This includes students who attend Catholic and other church schools.

Frank! The Ant

Hello Fellow Readers,      Hey, I know that I haven't posted in a long time but I'm about to make up for that! One day, during P.E. an ant crawled into my binder and I guess he stayed there until I got inside the building. Once I got to Science class he decided to come out and he crawled onto my paper. I said, "Hey there little guy!" Then "Frank" popped into my head and something told me to name the little guy Frank (but then he could have been a girl,so...) Anyway, he looked lost as he crawled around on my paper, me being me I didn't quite know what to do. So, I let my friend see him and the first thing she did was pick up a book and threw it down (in the process of her doing this Frank on the other hand was experiencing numerous earthquakes on the table.)
