BRCO -- Fog Poems

Article posted January 27, 2010 at 02:19 PM GMT • comment • Reads 9090

Mysterious fog?

I stood there,
I felt as if someone was right there,
breathing on my neck,
I started running,
hoping the fog would end,
using my hands to guide me,
I fell,
I heard voices,
they felt as if they were hitting me,
they got threatening,
I woke up,
it was just a dream.


What is fog like?

The fog was misty,
confusing with a dangerous lace floating,
plain,
surrounded by whispers,
locked in a room,
there where no walls,
restrained by the shadows,
surrounded by free apologies,
followed by nothing.


Fog

fog is surrounding,
being locked up with no walls,
restrained from the outside world,
free to the shadows,
wrapped in lace,
whispers hit your face,
plain and dangerous.

LRAS -- Fog

Article posted January 27, 2010 at 03:12 PM GMT • comment • Reads 1215

Rolling across the raging sea


Drifting through unsettled forests


Concealing everything in its way


Light


Attempting to enter this dismal silent world


Vain endeavors are ceased


Light cannot exist here


Only fog


Dense


Overpowering


Pessimistic


Fog


New day


New attitude


New fog approaches


Dazzling


Exquisite


Non-existent


Fog

LRAS -- Blurred Thoughts

Article posted January 27, 2010 at 03:13 PM GMT • comment • Reads 1244

 


Lost in a world of blurred thoughts


Questions float aimlessly


Answers are scarce


Unable to think


What is the point in thinking though


When I am content to watch the world


passing by


As if a veil separates me from life


I live without life


Understanding seems irrelevant


As the fog passes


Everything is clear


I understand

LHDR -- Fog Poem

Article posted January 27, 2010 at 03:05 PM GMT • comment • Reads 1202

 


Fog is like




 


Fog is like a diving plane


Twisting, turning, changing shape


Then Crash into our eyes, like a train,


Wearing a wispy, full-body cape.


With its big, gaping mane


It swallows light and dark alike,


Sometimes it seems totally insane


For it knocks the air out of your lungs as it strikes.




 


Fog is like a deep power nap


It awakes, then rests back into its place


Just like a deadly booby trap.


And you shall always lose the race


No matter how hastily you run


For fog is faster yet, it has already won.

Fog can halt

I wake up and see the stillness of the fog.

It sits like an empty hole waiting for the whistling air to arrive.

In the dusk there are layers of fog twisting, lashing and veering.

This is how I know that gray suffused clouds are coming.

Fog to me

Fog to me is like waking up
at 7:00am
on the first day of school or
any other day of school
because I feel so warn out and exhausted
and my eyes are closed shut even when I am wide
awake because of
my tiredness.

Hazy Minds PJCH



Fog is like trying to remember something

Your mind becomes hazy and hard to think

Your so concentrated you cant even hear a 'PING'

If you know what I mean, you can make this link



Fog clears your mind and reassures you that everything is okay

If you're feeling down, and there's fog outside just take a trip down to the bay

This will help clear your mind

And total peace is what you will find

THE EMOTIONS OF FOG

Fog is anger, fog is fear, fog is the sadness of not being steered.

Fog is excitement, fog is guilt, the kind that others have built.

Fog is revenge, fog is power, fog is loneliness, and they all leave us sour.

Fog is happiness, fog is togetherness, in the way they cover our fears.

Fog is a story that has no end, fog is the cover of a book not read.

What Fog Means To Me



Fog is like when I'm going as quick as I can


through a single-track,


I've never ridden ever!



Thin wispy fog is like


when I fall in my own bicycle-track,


for no apparent reason.



Whiteout fog is like when my parents yell at me to stop


right before


I'm about to do an outrageous stunt.

Fog

Fog hangs from the tree tops
Its like a bag of sugar bursting
Like water in a cup
Droplets of laughter, giggling out of the mist
With shallow pools of color
Layers of gauze float over the paper
It gives an air of mystery
Fog is an illusion
A master of disguise

Throughout the Storm


the fog is blinding


the lighting strikes


but I am finding


one thing I like


is when it's warm


it smells like sea


the perfect form


clouds close to me


this fog is thick


yet in my view


the fog that licks


the ground like dew

Article posted January 27, 2010 at 01:58 PM GMT • comment • Reads 1188

Fog

Fog is like silvery shadows, dancing gracefully in the night,

Fog is like waking up early on a weekend morning, late in the month of May,

Fog is like a mask, covering the light,

Fog is like a fierce lion, stalking its prey,

Fog is like a lime green snake, slithering out of sight,

lurching across the ocean blue,

swallowing up the boats as they rolls in,

tiptoeing silently without giving a clue,

as to where it will end, and become thin,

escaping from the past,

just as silently as it came in.

LSGA -- Fog

Article posted January 27, 2010 at 01:39 PM GMT • comment • Reads 1253

Fog

Fog is tanigible
Wrapping itself around everything
Like a vine twisting
Round a tree

Fog is uncatchable
Fading out of sight
The closer you step
The father away
You'll be

Fog is sluggish
It never leaves sight
Like thunder rolling
Slowly coming
Slowly
Going

Fog is speed
It comes like lightning
Trees obey and bend with it
Like lightning flashes
It vanishes

Fog is light
Harmless as a leaf
Falling, turning, twisting
Touching nothing
But the ground

Fog is heavy
Hard as a stone
It blinds the roaming clouds
And stops life in its tracks

Fog is sweet
Concealing frighted spirits
Carrying rain and sunshine
Joyful as it wanders


Fog is salty
Briny, like the sea
Ships lost in the fog's will
A silent storm
Riding on a winds'
Whisper

Fog is calm
Gliding like a swan
Wishing life a good night's sleep
A silent song

Fog is wild
Screaming sounds of alarm
A sleepless dawn
Racing towards the stars

HSJO -- Poems About Fog

Article posted January 27, 2010 at 01:40 PM GMT • comment • Reads 1161







Fog is an eerie shroud of mist


closing in around you.


Fog is a thick blanket,


covering the morning dew


Fog is a silent predator,


Carefully stalking its prey.


Fog isolates you,


Makes you alone,


And before long you are swept away.


~HSJO~


Birds chirp, a wake up call


To a world bathed in sunshine


A perfect day, buzzing with excitement.


The grass is green, trees swaying in the breeze,


Then the fog comes in.


Creeping slowly, not making a sound


Slowly, little by little, all goes quiet.


Birds cease to talk, and all of a sudden, the fog has arrived,


Without anyone noticing.


But the eerie silence, in a way, is just as beautiful as before

Poems of Fog

Still and Silent
Fog is mist rolling above you
as it has a deep,
empty thought
that steams,
so still
so silent.

Embracing the Clear
Fog is hanging over the treetops
then bursting like water
as the silver water
embraces the clear morning light.

Waiting to Disappear
Fog is what hangs over the willow trees
waiting to disappear by the morning light
Fog is what rolls around
the sunset of summer
Fog is what sweeps threw the town
like a shadow of night




The Mystery
Fog is like a mystery,
trying to find something you can't see
Fog is when you glide across the ice
getting faster,
where the snowflakes shine.

DSNO -- my foggy poems

Article posted January 27, 2010 at 01:48 PM GMT • comment • Reads 1179

Surroundings
The fog encases me,
colors all dimmed,
shallow pools of color,
vanished,
behind the wave of gray,
it conjures eeriness within itself,
we become partially blind,
the essence of rain,
it becomes overly suffocating,
so much distortion,
where am I now,
in the worst,
it hisses and rears,
this cobalt gray,
will hang,
in the treetops,
seep deep into the ground,
this fog in a final attempt,
has lashed out,
so far at me,
it's deception is deep,
but I am willing,
willing to lose myself,
beyond belief.

The Darkness
The fog,
is so dense,
too dense,
I can't take it anymore,
the darkness,
has returned,
I know,
that this time,
I wont be able to withstand it,
but this,
is what I want,
I want to go,
where no one,
will know,
all,
the unknown,
secrets.

Drifty Fog

See the fog again and again,
Please help me it wont get out of my head.
When the sun rises up it blinds me,
After a while, The fog drifts in slowly
Fog os like a blanket,
It covers the ground,
Only without any sound


Slightly Smooth Fog

Smoothly on the surface of the ground,
The fog sweeps in without a sound.
It moves gently through the air,
Like little people dancing everywhere.
I can't see my feet,
Is this a dream?
I think im gonna go crazy if this lasts.
Now i can't believe the fog is gone,
I wonder where it went?
It came so fat and left so fast,
So now i think im depressed.......

Fog Poems

Fog
Creepy, scary. Lost.
Stalking, mocking, humming. Lost.
Shadows, darting. Lost.
Haunches, shatters, slithers. Lost.
Dwellers, stalkers. Lost.
Musing, giggling, prow. Lost
Lashing, lunging. Lost
Fog

Fog is...
Fog is like when you are running,
You can see everything and yet nothing.
Everything goes by fast and yet slow.
You can hear everything and yet nothing but your heartbeat.
You feel the wind whipping through your hair and yet you feel nothing.
You taste the mist rushing through you lungs and yet you taste nothing.
Everything is black and white and yet everything is bright.
You are harmless and yet you are lethal.
You feel as light as the air yet you know you are not.
You run to get away and yet you run to something else.
Fog is like when you are running.

We won't take that I can't see.


Twisted sister rocks.




 


I wanna rock hard,


But no, I can't see.


But I will Anyway.




 


Turn it down, you say,


but I can't, cause fog's in the way.


That's good, now lets rock.




 


Hey, this is our life,


But the fog clouds the whole song.


But I wanna rock.

The drums shrouded by fog


Twisted sister rocks.

Fog


 


The fog sails into the dreary night


It's chilling sensation flailing around


Droplets of misery in the air


The humming shadows like hot breath


Drifting aimlessly towards nothing


 


 


 


 


 


 


Nothing is Clear


 


Fog comes here


Fog comes there


Now the fog is near


Nothing is clear


Fog is like an enemy


Waiting to approach when your not looking


Then it attacks


It stalks you from afar


One blink and it is here


It is an army hiding in the distance


You don't know when it is coming


No one does


Fog is here


Fog is there


Now the fog is near


Nothing is clear

-- Ghosts Of The Fog

Article posted January 27, 2010 at 02:21 PM GMT • comment • Reads 1200

On a silent spring day,
in a walled graveyard,
lined with black roses,
I lay in the soft, lush grass.
No one knew I was there,
therefore,
there was no one to wake me.

Still in my dreams,
my eyes were opened,
but not by me.
It seemed I was stuck in one spot,
barely able to move,
surrounded by chokingly thick fog,
or so I thought.

Suddenly the fog diverted,
swirling faces of fog,
dancing in the wind,
chanting,
“you shall not escape,
you shall not bear to escape.”
screeching, screaming,
“here is the wall,
between life and death,
soon you will be trapped,
then nothing comes next.”

To me it seemed,
the ghosts of the fog,
were trapped in their past,
lost in the future.
“you must learn,
to accept the future,
as it is.
You also must release me,
for I have a life to get back to,
and you don't.”

Slip





It was humid that spring,


out on that icy little bridge,


In choking of mist,


the day that I slipped.


Almost falling forever,


until something I grabbed,


seized the sensation of nothingness,


with the falling,


and the scaryness.


My hands were so cold,


at the beginning of spring,


for winter just passed,


the birds started to sing.


Around my head they went,


those pretty little birds,


which were the last thing I saw,


and the last thing I heard.

Fog




What is fog?


Fog creeps in, silently


smothering trees and water with mist


In the morning, when the suns' up,


It shows in golden yellow and warm sunshine


wile its cloudy, creepy and spooky,


gray fog that seems relaxing and peaceful


On the beach, fog is like the ocean itself,


salty and breezy, making it fun to play in


In the harbor, early in the morning,


when the gentle wind makes the bells on the sailboats


make an eerie tune wile the seagulls chatter in the sail tops


Fog covers fields with a thick blanket of white,


when you can't see in front of you


Fog covers the farms in sheets and layers


you can't see the horses in the pasture


or the cows in the barn


or the chickens in the coop


Fog is like darkness and light


You can relax in the mist beside the peaceful lake


or you can worry that little Johnny


won't find is way home in time for dinner


What is fog?

Fog, a sheet of endless gray


You see it barreling toward you


You stay as the fog careens you closer


You try to run but you it corners you


Now you have disappeared

The fog has now passed he waves goodbye


His gas floats away


You will see him again one day

And then you heard the crack


That could shatter a piece of glass

Hiding

Fog is my darkness,
It lets me hide from life.
takes the burden of the day of my shoulders,
and throws it far, far away.
It blankets me with its husky warmth.
wipes away the tears rolling down my face.
the tears of regret and sorrow,
the tears of others.
no one will see me,
the fog is to thick to pass.
but the crying stops.
and blackness cuts through my mind like a blade.
I turn down and drift away with the fog,
just like the rest have.

You can enter the text of your blog here!




 


The stillness of the fog


slowly creeping


up upon the


tree tops.


The moaning of the


buoys bustling


in the


sea.


The haziness of the


forests floors,


and the


water vapor hovering


over the water,


shortly


spraying a loon that


has passed by.


A sky so


dark


with the backdrop of the


trees, so gloomy and


mysterious,


slowly


mixing in with the


mustiness of


the fog.


The mildew on the grass


that sits on the settled


slits of greens after


a long foggy


night.


The cold air jumps around


the sky like a dancer,


dancing in the


night.


The fog is so thick, that


the twinkling of


the stars are


hidden,


like rocks below the water.


The sea glimmers in the


night, then glows


when dawn hits.


The moon is full


tonight, but is


hidden by the


fog and the


the trees.


The


fog thickens, drowning out the sound


that the little creatures of the forests


makes. The sun is creeping up,


leaving a sympathetic


reflection on the


water, and


the


Branches, high


up in the


trees.

New England
Factory so clogged
earlier it was so clear
now it is only clear so near
Clouds lie so low
nobody can even know
Air so soaked
Air so misty
It just looks so gloomy
Wait now its far
I can barely see a car
Clouds fly away
While the winds sway
I see the sun comes out
While the flowers begin to sprout
I see kids playing in the park
All the dogs begin to bark
Kids playing basketball
Kids playing baseball
Pitcher sets the mound
Sun comes down
Park gates close
All the kids say, “That blows”
The Kids go have dinner
Nobody knows who's the winner

The Big Bad Bunny

“Good night Mom, good night Dad.” I said as I walked up the stairs. I jumped into my bed, pulled up the covers, and listened to the sounds of the ocean as I fell asleep. Then came the night. . . “No, get away from me!” I screamed trying to get away from something, what ever it was I knew it wasn't good. While thrashing around I couldn't make out the creature, but then I saw it, a huge 7 foot tall purple bunny! The bunny had scars all over him, but worst of all the bunny had a chain saw raised above his head. Then came the noise “runnananana, moohahahaha” this was the last thing I heard. “Ahhhhhhhhhhh!” When I woke I was sitting in bed screaming. My only advice to you is if you see a big purple bunny, Run.

Going sky Diving

I have always wanted to go skydiving.

Taking that one risky leap could be the end.

But feeling the wind rush past as you float down to earth with nothing on your back but a parachute.

Now it's time to pull the chute, i give it a hard yank. . . nothing happens. . . I pull hard again but it;s to late I am falling to the ground.

Now I am falling knowing I won't see tomorrow.

But I don't hit the ground.

Luckily it was only a dream.

The Hammock

At my vacation house in Maine there is a hammock on a ledge. When I am in it I feel very peaceful and relaxed. I can see the sparkling ocean, and boats gracefully gliding across the shiny surface. I hear the smaller children playing on the beach and the loud diesel engines of bustling lobster boats. Smells, I smell the pine trees that surround me, and the wonderful, yet kind of gross, smell of the ocean and the things that surround it. I can feel the rough rope of the hammock on my legs and head. These are all of the things I love because I know they mean it”s summer

       Have you ever ruined something, let everything slip away, let everyone down, all in 5 seconds? You dribble up the field, precious seconds left in the game. You pass by players on the other team, desperately  trying to stop you. All your fans are thinking, "She can do it", "She's got this", or, "She's going to win us the game!" The nerves building up on you with every stride. And with 5 seconds left, you kick it with all you've got, not realizing that you overshot. Not realizing that this is it.

The clear water felt cool against my skin, while the rays of sunshine baked my shoulders. I waded deeper into the the smell of salt filling my nose. my eyes stung I ducked into the water. Young turtles poked their heads out of the water, making small ripples as they submerged back under the water. The sky was cloudless, and the seen in front of me was picturesque.

My worst injury happened when I was around 5 years old. I was in an Italian restaurant in New York City. I got up to go to the bathroom with my mom and sister. On the way up the stairs, I tripped and fell face first into a metal flowerpot, it sliced open my lip, and bruised my two front teeth. There was blood every where, and I was crying, "I have band aids!" because there were band aids in my pocket. I got in a car with my dad and uncle, and we drove to the hospital. In the hospital, they held me down and stitched my lip, me screaming the whole time.

The whistling wind whips through my hair, my legs, on fire, pedaling to catch my brother. He's fast as lightning and I feel slower than a turtle. He swipes corner to corner. On a sharp turn I didn't make it, falling rapidly to the ground. A wave of pain electrocutes my body as I hit the cold, hard, gravel floor. Closing my eyes tight I fell nothing but pain and see nothing but my dark lonely eyelids. I open one eye slowly and cautiously, then the other. My bikes front wheel is still spinning from the crash I just took. The rest of the bike weighing heavily on my body. Turning myself around I check for any signs of injury's. One bleeding leg and a couple of skid marks on my hands. The pain still piling in I push the bike off my body and get up, my whole body sore. I check my knee, the blood gushing out and the small grains of sand and rock stuck clearly states that I need a Band-Aid. I whip my hands on my worn out jeans and tug my bike off the ground. I get on it cautiously and right home slowly just glad nothings broken.

It was the last minute of the game and all I was thinking was, "GOAL, GOAL, WIN!". The balls pasted to me and my hearts pounding with the adrenaline rush. Everyone is cheering, so I get nervous, of course. I pass the ball perfect pass. A player, on our team, takes the shot but the goalie saves it. The ball is out, "corner kick" says the referee. I line up with everyone else and the ball is kicked. Everyone's wild and it reminds me about apes in the jungle. The parents are the head apes. And I yell. "PASS, PASS, NOW!!!" She passes to me and everyone's silent, soI think of everything that can go wrong, typical me. 5 seconds left so I line the shot up, 2 seconds, AHHH, I shoot. GOAL! We win. The pressure all goes away. I run to my coach she says, "I wonder how you get through the day....BUT GREAT KICK! Soccer is fun, esspecially when you win and it's your goal!!

We only notice when it's strong,

Nice, calm, peaceful
Dreary and dead
Weak and ignored,

Dead or dying
Watch as it calms
Knocking down trees,

My limbs are useless in the hurricane.
The twister spins me out of control.
I fall into the currents.
Not of the air but of the sea.
I spring out of the currents.
The twister stopped.
The hurricane ceased.
The storm calms into
a soft gentle breeze.
As the strong wind ends.

KJCH -- A Dark Night

Article posted November 2, 2010 at 07:18 PM GMT • comment • Reads 822

It was a gloomy Halloween night. The full moon was out which lit up our pathway. The wind and fog were eerie, and with the added affect of the wolves howling in the back round made me feel uneasy. I was only with a few of my friends and they felt the same way as I did, scared. This didn't help me feel good at all. It made me want to puke. The howling of the wolves, bright full moon, and fog rising made me even more scared. I was very uncomfortable now.

As we walk on the side of the road, I turn back to my friends to ask where we are. When I look I am astonished to see, no one's there. I don't know whether to panic, or to run, or scream.
Now it comes to my mind that they are just pulling a prank on me. So I start laughing, but when I turn around, that's not the case.

A black mass is standing right in front of me. It's like I'm dead now. I can't breath, scream, walk, talk, or anything. I have no clue what to do. It points up, to what I don't know. But, when I look in that direction, it's too hard to dread. My friends were hanged on one of the tall, large pine trees on the road. My heart was beating a thousand times faster than it should. Thoughts were speeding through my head on what to think of this. I realize, i have no hope left. After all all of what has just happened, I can wake up and know that i have a good life.

I said to my self I have to go before peter. He nudges up to it then backs down here is my chance. The fuzion doesn’t clear so I have to pull up and jump forward. My wheels hit the ramp there is no turning back now. I hit the ramp and kind of bailed I was super siked that I landed it and did it twenty more times each time I got better and better.

A situation 'believing is seeing' is that when you admire someone, like a famous person or maby just a person, you dont see any other perspective, or opinion but yours: "That person is amazing!" (example). When people tell you otherwise you defend your opinion because you support that person and really believe they`re a good human being.

Beliving in something can give you inspiration for things you cant even imagine. It opens your eyes to a completely different world that has so many opertunities. One huge benifit to believing in something is that you can see it mentally. You think of it everyday,and you can see it no matter if you`ve seen it for real or not, you know what it looks like so you can see it. When you do believe in somethinglike this, you cant imigine it anyother way.

Mystery trip

I woke up excited and nervous, not knowing where my Dad was taking me on this trip. My Mom and sisters had left in a flash to the crowded New York City earlier this morning. So I was alone with my dad. Sadly we were not going there.
I jumped out of my bed and my dad says, “Hurry up we’ll be late for the plane.” So I quickly get my clothes on, get my suitcase, go down stairs through the door in the garage, then I jump into the car. He was already ready and we're off.
As we’re riding in the car I ask my dad the same question, “Where are we going”? But he keeps replying, “I don’t know”, obviously in a joking matter. Then he adds, did you remember to bring your bathing suit. I reply, “Yes”. So when we reached the airport, we get our luggage out from the back of the car, and we go through the long glass tunnel leading to the main part of the airport.
Once we are in the main part of the airport we walk to the main to the U.S Airway line. Most families were trying to get away for the long weekend. So the line was a reasonably long about a 10 minute wait. It was a Friday morning. Once we were through the luggage line and got our boarding passes we headed toward the security line. At that moment I was hoping we got there an hour in advance or we were doomed. So I looked ahead wondering what was holding up the line. Then in a glassed off area there was a guy getting clean checked by a wand.
I don't think anything of it because this always happens. Then a airport security guard walked toward the glassed off area and I could see his mouth moving but I couldn’t hear him. he took out the wand again to see if any metal was on him because they brought him through the gate and it keep beeping. But when they hand checked him they couldn’t find any thing. So they had to change they security gate.
A security guard had come up to the back of the line to tell what the wait was. Then once the gate was installed the line was moving pretty fast. Then Dad said our gate should be boarding any moment. Then of course the loud speaker came on and said gate B7 is now boarding. And Dad said what do you know that’s our gate. We took of our shoes and watches and my backpack and put it in the bin. We went through the now fixed gate got our stuff and ran for our gate. “Last call for B7” so we ran even faster. And our gate was at the end of the hall. We rounded the corner and saw no one but a flight attend tend.
So we ran even faster the thought that I didn’t know where we are going totally passed my mind. But on a electric board it read Nasa Bahamas. Then we gave our boarding passes to the attendant and boarded the plane. I thanked my dad as we walked down the hallway. And that's were i went on y mystery trip.

Hibernation:


My house is my shield


It protects me from outside world danger


Like my cave that I spend my endless hibernation in


My winter sleep lasts much longer than a bear's does


I am always awake, just not fully there


I am detached from other people


Always in my house, shielded from the war zone beyond me


Spring:


As I slowly start waking up from my sleep


I become less distant


I put my shield down


I've slept through the war


The flowers are blooming


Spring has finally come. . .

I'm walking out to the mound, the pressure of the entire season is on me. All of the eyes of my parents, friends, friend's parents and towns people are fixed on me. All of them ready to perform, against the almost unstoppable Dodger team. Every step takes so much effort as I know, every time I put one foot in front of the other I'm just that much closer to the start of the game. I have finally made my way to the mound, with the umpire and my catcher waiting for me. Then the umpire hands me the ball, I have a quick chat with my catcher, and now it's game time. I'm so nervous but what's driving me to do well more than anything is my determination to win. Here goes nothing... I start the pitching motion and I fire in the first pitch for a strike. That one strike, fills with confidence.

First Swim


I run through the water trudging along


The cold water brisk against my toes


“Hurry up,” says the little voice in my head


 She’s getting ahead of me. GO! GO!


The chill goes op along my spine


I come up from the water and shake it off


“Not so bad,” I say calmly to my chicken like sister


And she dives off ahead as I follow along behind her,


My board dragging behind me


I search for a wave


On the board I feel a bit unbalanced


As I swirl through the ocean


I look beside me


And there’s my sister


Not so chicken like anymore


Riding right beside me


We laugh until we are stopped by the rocky sand


“Again?” she says


I don’t say anything but she knows I agree


And we walk to our home


The ocean.

The brisk wind hits my face as my hair is wildly blowing. The smooth sand between my toes as I walk into the dark water. When I dive into a wave it pulls me down to the bottom. I pop my head up from the cold water; I feel a chill up my spine. My feet sink into the smooth sand again as I skip along the beach and see young kids playing in small tide pools. I lay comfortably on my towel and soak in the atmosphere.

Beep beep beep! My buzzer is going off. As I pull my hand out hit the snooze button and I drag my feet out of bed flop my feet hit the floor. My eyes can't even open up the whole way. I get dressed walk down the stairs my legs can't even bend. I feel the cold wood on the bottom of my feet, then I feel the rug warmth. As I hear the egg crack on the side of the pan. Then I hear the egg and bacon sizzling in the pan. The strong aroma of bacon I smell as I come down the stairs. Then I sit down and and take a bite into the bacon, yum. Then I take a sip of my fresh squeezed orange juice. Now I go up stairs to brush my teeth, I first wet my toothbrush, then squeeze the toothpaste onto my toothbrush, minty fresh into my mouth, ahh. My mom puts her key into the ignition and vroom vroom I drive off to school.

Article posted December 3, 2010 at 02:04 PM GMT • comment • Reads 882

Christmas is such a great holiday. On of my favorites. My family has a special tradition that we do every year. When we wake up we have to wait for every single person to be awake. It is painful sometimes I have to wait for a hole 30 minutes which I think is painful. Then when every one is awake we go down stairs. When we go down stairs there is a string attached to our stockings that goes all around our house with presents that are unwrapped. After we go get our stuff out of our stockings we will open my mom and dads presents. When we are about half way through opening we will go and eat breakfast, then go open the rest of our presents. We enjoy the day with our family and then later that night we go to my grandparents house with my cousin and open their presents. That is a brief story of my Christmas day!

Going to Florida


“Dad, are we there yet?” I ask from the backseat of our car.

“Not yet,” Dad replies.

"When are we going to get there?”

"Not too long but we are going to go out to eat first and then go home.”

“Oh, I hate going out to eat first,” as I moan Ohhhhhh unhappily in my head.

“Well, what is the restaurant that we are going to called?” I ask my dad, as if I already did not know the name since we always go to the same one.

“BF Wangs,” he says.

“I don’t like that restaurant,” I tell him.

Dad says, “Well, we are already here.”

My dad and I are having this conversation in the car driving towards our condo in Florida. I hate going out to eat first because I just want to see the condo and go up to my room or go out to the dock and relax. We always go to this one restaurant, BF Wangs. It is my mom’s favorite so my dad and I just go along to make her happy.

“I’ll have chocolate milk, please.” I say to the waitress.

“Sure,” replies the waitress.

“I will have water, please.” Mom says to the waitress.

“I’ll have water, too,” says Dad.

“’Kay, be right back with those,” said the waitress as she left our booth.

We always sit at a booth because my mom and I love booths. We think that tables are not comfy and they are usually out in the open where everyone can hear us and see us.

“Thank you,” says my dad as the waitress comes back with our drinks.

“Now, are you guys ready to order?” asks the waitress.

I said, “I will have chicken fingers.”

“Ok and I’ll have dumplings,” says mom.

“I’ll have mahi mahi,” said dad.

After a good meal we got in the car and I thought to myself, “boy I’m excited that our condo is so close, only about 10 minutes away.” I began to think about my friends Olivia, Ellie, Brad and Jake and how we would fish and go to the lagoon together. I’m excited to get back to go to the pier, go on the boat and spend time with my family.

After unpacking everything at the condo – I get my towel, put on my bathing suit and run and jump into the pool!!!!

I watched the waves break on the soft sand like a butterfly making it's perfect landing on a leaf. The beach is where I like to go and do homework or just think. I always sit on a certain rock that is gray with white and black speckles on it. The rock has a perfect indent that makes it very comfy to sit on. The deep blue mixed with a slight green and it's beautiful to look at. The sounds of the ocean comfort me and make me relax. The sound of the waves crashing down on the beach, like a bird diving down on it's helpless pray.

Its Snowing

Changing, swaying, turning, blowing
So much fun not even knowing.
Twisting, tumbling, winding, fleeing
Soon enough it's time for skiing.
Floating, whirling, circling, glistening
Gather round the fire listening.
Sailing, swooping, plummeting, dancing
Through the snowy wonderland prancing.
Weaving, roaming, catching, clutch
It is softer when you touch.
See how fun the snow can be?
Come enjoy the snow with me!

The wind wisps through the field. The flowers sway back and forth. Which makes me wonder, How far does the wind blow? Does it carry on going from tree to tree? No one will know unless they follow it.

The wind is our worst enemy and our best friend.It gets you nice and cool on scorching hot summer days, but blows all the fallen leaves all over your lawn after you spent all that spare time raking them.

Enemies or best friends?
How far?
The wind gives you something to think about.

Pure blue electric eyes gleamed out from the tall trees. Such a bright color they were. They sent chills through my pale, porcelain skin. The purity of them reminded me of a cool waterfall, that could only be found through the thick vines and palm trees of the Amazon. The owner of these lovely eyes began to show through the trees. A large lizard, it looked like with scales the same color as my skin. I flinched, it did the same. Was it as scared of me as I am of it?
“What are you?” I asked with a tone of curiosity lingering in my voice. “Je vous suis.” It spoke in a language, I believed is french. Why french?
“Vous etes un dragon.” It spoke as if I understood.
“What?” The lizard like creature began to fade away. I stared in shock.
“Wait!” I shouted wanting, no begging to know more.

Can you feel the music?
Do you like the beat?
Does music make you lose it?
Or get bored and take a seat?

Dance until I can't dance no more,
Sing until I can't,
Jump until I can't feel the floor,
Spin 'til I see at a slant.

I slip away into the beat,
and the music's in me.
I twirl and jump and move my feet,
I'm weightless and totally free.

My ears keep on ringing,
even after the music stops,
because the music had been blaring,
and there was no time to drop.

Can you feel the music?
Do you like the beat?
Does music make you lose it?
Or get bored and take a seat?

I suddenly awoke to find myself in a grassy field. I looked around a saw a vast ocean, sandy beaches, and strange creatures of all sorts. I walked over to sand and squished my toes in it. It felt great to be alive again. I ran into the ocean and felt the thrill of swimming again. I jumped out and ran down the beach. I jumped up on top of a rock and felt like I was king of the world. Then a strange creature walked up and said “you are king of the world”. The creature looked about 2 feet tall and had short claws. The creature was grey and had large eyes about the size of a tennis ball. I looked down and said “how did you know what I was thinking”. The creature said well us looglaps can read other creatures thoughts. I then asked “looglap what is your name”. The looglap said “Well my name is Greg walison”. I thought to myself why that name seems familiar. It does he said. I then said “this is going to be hard to get use too”. I asked Greg how many looglaps are there in the world.

Every October 31st this house randomly appears in a cloud of fog. The house is always completely obscured. When it appears it suddenly starts to rain. Then the moon becomes full and becomes as bright as the sun. The light shoots into the obscured house. It makes all the widows glow then they all crack! The glass comes flying at you, but it all halts to a stop. All the glass crashes to the ground. Then the rain stops and the fog disappear. Then all these blood thirsty black cats come sprinting towards you with blood red eyes. Then it seems like reality is not with you it seems time has stopped! Then rotten shriveled pumpkins come plummeting towards the ground and land on the cats then the whole thing goes into chaos!




 




 


 


Ghost come flying out of the house and hands pop up from the ground and grab you legs to pull you into the ground. Then they get sucked up into a tree. Dead bodies rise from the ground. Then the ghosts go into the dead bodies. They all come after you your only hope is to go into the house. You here nothing inside. As you walk around you see paintings. Then the paintings start to moan and groan. Then you realize they are all kids. The pictures say the year they died and there name. Then you realize all those kids have been missing. After that you try to open the door but it won’t open up. I ran up stairs to find another exit. There were seven doors. I opened the first one and there was a huge mouth. The tongue came flying at me. I slammed the door shut. I opened the second one and there was people screaming. I slowly shut the door. Thinking back these are the same kids in the picture. I ran to the third and opened it. It was pitch black. I put one foot in and it started to suck my foot in. I grabbed a torch from the wall. It was quicksand. I tried to pull away and I got out but my shoe had come off. I opened the fourth door. There where zombies! One of there heads fell off and rolled toward me I slammed that one too. I opened the fifth one. A hand came flying at my neck I used the torch and light it on fire. When it burned it disappeared. The sixth one I opened there where people being mindlessly slathered. I slammed the door. I can barley mention this without having nightmares. I opened the door and found a mirror but there was something different about me. I was headless. Then the mirror shattered. A blood river came flowing towards me. I ran down stairs and the door still did not open. I ran down the hall and found night armor. I took its sword a cut a hole in the house I ran outside. The bodies where still there. I started slicing through them. I got out of the place. I threw the torch at the house so no one else would have to go through what I did. I was the only one to escape this place. That was the end of that house. I never saw it again, but sometimes on my morning walk it seems like its still there.

Cleats dug into the fresh grass, blue jerseys were tucked in, and young faces waited for action. A whistle blew and the game began. Our team had the ball. I stand at my position, left forward, I feel butterflies in my stomach. I see the field in front of me like a valley of opportunity. I stand stiff and nervous. My heart beats fast but so does everyone else. The goes back to the midfielders and I run up with the rest of the offenders to receive the ball. The ball is passed , quick and high. I watch my teammates on the other side of the field. I hurry around to get open but the ball is switching from teams. The game is on and every one wants to win.

GSKE -- Personal Narrative: The Time I Moved To Rye

Article posted May 7, 2010 at 07:12 PM GMT • comment • Reads 835

This following story is about the time I moved to Rye, NH. See, My mom works at a nursing home, and she met this guy named John. They got married, so John is my step dad, and when ever someone asks John how he met my mom, he says “I met her at a nursing home.” Any way, here’s the story.

I can’t really remember when I moved in with John. I know it was some time ago. But I remember my room was nothing more than a window, a spider plant, and a cot for a bed. There was also an oar in the corner. When I moved there, I also met Bradley, John’s Grandson. I haven’t seen him for a while, because his dad doesn’t want to drive half way for John to pick him up, ‘cause see, he lives pretty far away. But, back to the story. I remember I still used to go to my old school, which was heaven compared to my current school. Ohhh, I miss that school! I miss all the righteous friends I had too! But, now I’m at Rye Junior High, with ridiculous home work assignments, that I don’t even see as applicable, and John always freaks out when I fail to tell him info! And don’t even get me started on some of the people here! I mean really! But I live here, and nothing more.

All thanks to school, of all things.

I sit on an old black bench on a street corner in the middle of Nantucket town. I sit up to lick my peppermint ice cream so it doesn’t melt on this warm summer day. My hand is cozy warm against the hot homemade waffle cone made by the Juice Bar. The loud sound from the Cape Cod potato chip truck against the cobblestones catches my attention. The smell of the homemade ice cream and cones haunts me even though I have one right in my hand. Then, I am pulled back to real life with a loud honk of the ferry on the dock. I look over to see whats going on. Oh, its just the same as every time, tourists running on with there bags full with Nantucket souvenirs. The town is now quieter than usual. 4th of July weekend is over, leaving the people we know and love to play with.

Over the summer, at my lake house, I went sailing in our sail boat called the sun-fish. I was going alone for the first time and that day it happened to be very windy. I got in the sun-fish and started sailing to the middle of the lake.The wind was pushing the boat faster and faster and before i knew it i was almost on the far side of the lake. I turned and headed for the lily pads. On my way I almost capsized a few times because of the huge strong winds blowing in the sail. Luckily. i managed to right the sun-fish when it tipped because I had capsized it before.
I sailed around the lily pad area and turned back for the lake house. But the boat kept going slower and slower because I was headed up wind. The sun-fish started drifting toward the rocks, far away from my lake house. I didn't know what to do because with the strong winds, my boat would crash to the rocks in a matter of seconds.
That was when I saw the paddle hidden under a storage part of the sun-fish. I let out the sail and started frantically paddling away from the rocks. then I was able to turn my boat away from the wind and make it back to my lake house.

I woke up to the sweet smell of Apple Pie on Thanksgiving morning. I got out of bed and staggered down the stairs. I heard Mother humming to herself while she cooked. The Apple Pie scent getting stronger. I arrived at the kitchen just in time for mom to turn off the oven and take the pie out. It was a sight like in a dream, Mother in an apron, a fresh baked pie looking magnificent, and the Macy's Day Parade on the mini television.
My mother greeted me with a warm hug and I felt her soft cheek against my lips. I couldn't have been happier!
People began to arrive and it was time to cut the pie. I sliced it and scooped it onto a plate for myself. I dug my fork into the pie and slowly raised it into my mouth. I was so delighted with the sweet apple taste in my mouth I immediatly went for more.
Finally dinner was over and everyone had left. Once again Mother and I were alone in our great big house. The apple smell was gone, the t.v. was off, Mother was no longer wearing her apron and it sat dirty and crumpled in the corner. Once everything was cleaned up I went to bed and Mother came up to give me a kiss. For the second time that day i felt her soft warm cheek against my lips. I went to bed dreaming of Apple Pie.

LSMO -- LA Poem #1

Article posted November 2, 2010 at 07:18 PM GMT • comment • Reads 818













Skiing


 Whenever I get off of the chairlift, I get a knot of fear in my stomach that I am going to fall off of the lift and plunge into the freezing deathbed.


But as soon as I lift my skis, I glide on the powdered snow.


It is a sunny day and it makes the snow glitter like crystals.


As early spring comes so do the birds.


A little bluejay chirps and makes the trees shake.


A slow but steady shard of snow gracefully falls,


I dodge and swiftly make my way to the other side of the lonesome trail.


I swerve from left to right with no noise but the sound of my shifting skis.


As I gaze at the winter mural,


I notice that the blue of the sky enhances the the purple-gray mountains,


and the tips of spruce trees bunch up to make patches of green blobs.


The brisk air caresses my exposed face,


and gently cools me from the heat of the lodge.


As I reach the end I pull my skis together close and speed up to finish the adventure.

MSSO -- Language Arts Writing

Article posted November 3, 2010 at 03:26 PM GMT • comment • Reads 968

As I stepped down the slopped hill of rocks. I looked to my left to see a rope swing, then I looked to my right to see the surf boards. I unclipped to hook holding the one of the surf boards. I then slowly walked down the rocky beach into the water, got onto my surf board and started rapidly moving my arms rapidly through the water. The water on my arms was as refreshing as a cold glass of lemonade on a hot day.
When I finally pulled into the large, white rock, I pulled the surfboard up to a red and white buoy, then hooked the board onto it. I quickly climbed up the rock to the lowest level, jumped off and was ready to go to the second to highest part of the rock. I go up to that part look off the rock say quietly to myself,"1,2,3, GO!" I jump off and when my feet touch the water I say....."YES!"

MSSO -- Personal Narrative

Article posted December 3, 2010 at 07:16 PM GMT • comment • Reads 843

Twenty-eight minutes is a pretty fast 5k run, but it also takes a lot of energy and strength, that's why I was very happy when I finished. As I was starting to go down Pit lane my pace decreased vividly so I could make a sprinting comeback at the end. I was beginning to smell the smell of pine. The run was a comforting, and short run but when you started getting towards the end you got antsy. I finished Pit lane, ran up the steep hill and started rounding the circle. As I was closing the last turn I started sprinting, I couldn't control myself. Before I knew it I was across the finish line with a time of 27 minutes and 57 seconds. As you can see running is a hard but good skill and it's a great ability though and that's why I love to do it!

WJKE -- Soccer Game

Article posted November 2, 2010 at 07:09 PM GMT • comment • Reads 956

A soccer player has very good qualities. They try hard in what they do. As the Player kicks the ball, I examine they way she kicks the ball. It seems seems so easy but then so hard.
I had a soccer game last night, and I had the ball. I had time to pass to someone else on my team but then when someone yells, "Kelsi there's someone in front of you."
So then i decide to pass the ball to a open player in the middle they SCORE! I feel so proud of my team. But the other teams players were
furious at mine and so they were giving us squinty eyes and their faces looking red as ripe tomatoes.
That game was fun!

It all started out as putting my name into the almost filled box. The form took two seconds to fill out. I fold in half two times and then hope that i get in for the modeling position. The next day about 7 pm my mom picks up the phone and talks then she comes out with a smile on her face saying Kelsi you have an audition tomorrow at the fox Run Mall. I SCREAM quietly. The next next day i wake up to go to school After School i get ready then at 6;30 i go to Mall. My heart beating fastly.I walk up and sign my name they give me a line to memorize and to practice my walk. They finally call my number to tryout in front of the judge to say my line and walk down the runway. They ask me a few questions and then they have me say my line then walk down the runway. I say thank you then walk off the stage.When They call winning numbers they call mine i walk up to the stand and they take my picture with other girls that made it in too. I think to my self this might be my future and who knows i could be famous.
