The perfect vacation that would fit me would be like a long camping trip. The camping trip would have to involve some very important people in my life. The people that would have to be there for it to be my perfect vacation would be my cousin Travis my mom, my best friends Zach and Chris. Also the most important person that would have to be there would be the girl that im falling for Sara. The location that we would pick for our big camping trip would have to be Lagrange xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comMissouri.The location is right by the Mississippi River and ten minutes away from Quincy Illinois . When we got there we would set up our tents and rough the vacation like they did in the old days. After we set the tents up we would make a camp fire and drink um (pop) and just enjoy the surroundings of nature. The birds chirping the leaves falling just makes you stop and have no worries about anything. We would stay up long hours of the night playing pitch and talking about things that have happened in the past and about what we plan on doing in the future. One of the nights that we are there me and Sara would have to go fishing and set by the river with the cool air blowing on our face. It would be a long but well thought out vacation that would be a memorable memory.

The qualities that make a best friend are… having somebody that will listen to you whenever you need to talk about something that is bothering you. Also a best friend is like a part of your family. He or she is always over at your house and as close to your family as they can be without just being a blood member. A best friend will be there to have your back if you are in trouble with something. He or she will comfort you if your boyfriend or girlfriend broke your heart and will be right beside you when you tell him or her what you think of them for doing what they did to you. A best friend is someone that you do not want to go somewhere without them either being with you or them meeting you where ever you go. As a best friend they should be able to keep secrets that you tell them. Also as a best friend they should not hold any information about anything that might hurt your feelings in some way. A best friend can be described as many things but mostly the common way I hear a best friend refer to is like a brother or sister.

As the day began it was a rainy and gloomy day. I woke up and started off to school. As I arrived there the day was short and time went by very quick. After school got out I got in my vehicle and went to pick up my date to get her hair done. When we got in to kirksville the rain was still coming down very hard. While she was in the saloon getting her hair done I went to Wal-Mart to get an umbrella so it would not mess her hair up before we even got to prom. After she got her hair done we headed off to go get are corsage and other prom materials. As we arrived at prom it was a beautiful site and I could not believe how beautiful my date looked in her dress. We walked in and the light hit her face and showed off her shiny eyes. As we went to get are pictures taken I could not believe that this was my last prom. As we danced all night I never would believe how time there would fly by. All I know now is that I had fun and it was a worth wild experience.

Time Crime

 At a time when Hitler was pressing his power among every Jewish city, and every one who stood in his path and stood up for the Jewish people were killed, all hope definitely seemed lost. As the war was getting worse day by day a political confrontation broke out between the two Jewish leaders. Abodo, the present leader of the Jewish people, and Tomo, the former leader of the Jewish people. Tomo, the former leader of the Jewish people felt a sudden bitter hate for Abodo, the present leader which gave him the sudden passion to try and get Abodo to back down as leader and let him control the Jewish people once again.

Tomo, knowing Abodo as well as he does, knew that Abodo would not let him take over the Jewish people, even if it would mean facing death himself. Although Abodo would rather die then release power back into the hands of Tomo, it made Tomo think if there is anything Abodo loved more then the Jewish people themselves. Finally after analyzing Abodos life Tomo remembered seeing his son Vondo with Abodo every where Tomo went and realized that Abodo would not be willing to give up his sons life as easy as his own.

With that in mind Tomo planned out a way that he would pressure Abodo into giving up his spot as the rightful leader of the Jewish people to Tomo. Tomo would gather a group of terrorists and devise a plan to kidnap Vondo. While kidnapping Abodos son, Tomo plans on having a back up plan which would still able to get the terrorists out of the country. While Tomo is preparing the kidnapping the word gets out to NATO about what Tomo is planning on doing. As a super power, the xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comUnited States decides to assist NATO by sending a recon team lead by John Stevens.  John Stevens, a veteran recon specialist has to make critical decisions along the way and is asked to lead a young but talented S.W.A.T team to join up with other NATO forces and rescue Vondo and stop the nuclear weapons that Tomo has in his control.

John Stevens ends up entering the school and realizes that he is going to have to think fast if he is going rescue Vondo first or disarm the bomb and save the lives of thousands of citizens. Only time can stop him and his team from saving Vondo and the world.

When I got in this class i really did not know what to suspect. I did not think that i would like to write poems or better yet be good at it but I do. Out of all the poems that i wrote the poem that i am most proud of would have to be my Failure & Feat Poem because it talks about baseball and it has really good rhymes. I am very happy with this poem and i like how i make the poem end with drama.

 

The poem that i struggled with the most is the memory poem. I really did not struggle with how i was suppose to write it I just had trouble with using past experiences and sensitive subjects to add some realistic features to my poem. I like how i used experiences that people know about especially about me starting to drive.

 

Sense i have been writing poems in Creative Writing class i have learned that i can write good poems that reflect how i feel about anything. I think sense i have been writing poems it allows me to release stress and personal feelings that i would never talk about to anybody about in person or even over the phone. I guess i can just express myself with poems I guess im just weird.

Don’t Be Afraid Of The Light

Don’t be afraid of the light,

Come out of the dark and stand alone

Step out of the shadows of the night.

 

Stand as calm and hard like a stone,

Be quick and fast and stay unknown

When you hear that soft tone.

 

Walk out as relaxed as could be,

In your heart I am with thee

I wonder if it could be.

 

I wonder if it is she

The one I think about endlessly

The one that I want beside me.

 

I see something in my sight

So I whisper in that soft tone

Don’t be afraid of the light

 

She walks up calm and alone

As I stand there as hard as a stone

And repeats to me in that soft tone

 

You gave me enough courage and might

So I tell you to walk out of the night

Don’t be afraid of the light.

(Caring) Extended Metaphor

Caring is…..

Blossoming red roses.

Showing love,

Being thoughtful,

Internal values.

 

The love I feel inside,

Forever in love,

Never again single,

Forever attached.

 

Thinking

 

Quiet, long, vast, deep

Time, goes, fast

Endless, careless, really, steep

Future, to, past.

Baseball

Tough, triumph, taught, teammate,

Honor, hit, homerun,

Swing, steal, slide, safe,

Base, bat, bunt.

 

In My Town

People, praying, people, playing

Racing, rebelling, riding

Time, flying, kids, wining

Environment, easy, breezy.

There was a man as slimy as a snake.

He would bob and weave with a shake and bake.

He was built like a bison.

The man was Mike Tyson.

 

Sky

 

Cold, Vast

 

Dark, Gloomy, Cloudy

 

Surrounds the bright stars

Five years ago, I was about to become a teen

I did not understand i was very nice

And then I turned really mean.

 

Four years ago, I was now a teenager

Tried to be nice

But i could not hide all the anger.

 

Three years ago, I got to drive

It was very scary

But i manage to stay alive.

 

Two years ago, my parents started to fight

I could hear them all the time

Especially at night.

Tender love and care

With the love we really share

Hold me like a bear

 

Loving is caring

Caring is really sharing

Love is learning

Rain

 

Cold, Wet

 

Gloomy, Damp, Dark

 

Wets the fertile ground

 

Drop

The Big Game

Looking at the crowd

What do I see?

I see people.

 

They’re staring at me

What do I do?

Should I run?

 

Should I try to hide?

Will I swallow the pride?

I will run.

 

Just as I swing the stick.

Very fast!

Very quick!

 

As the ball flies high

In the air

I just stop.

 

And try not to stare

I pass first

And the second

 

Home plate in vision

I slide hard

It’s a close decision.

In my mind---

Clear, calm, relaxed

In control,

Thinking about things---

Really smart.

 

In your mind---

Confused, nervous, hyper

Out of control,

Not really thinking---

Really dumb.

 

 

In my town--- 

Quiet, boring, relaxed,

Not fun,

Controlling the area---

The mediator.

 

In a different town---

Fun, exciting, uncomfortable,

Very fun,

Scouting the area---

The instigator.

 

Love

Why does love hurt fast?

How come it is really tough?

Why can’t you put in the past?

Why is it so rough?

Can there be a cure?

Will you find that lover?

Why is love a lure?

Will there ever be an answer?
