Poem of Me

Poem of Me

I am Eden.

I wish that Victors adoption debt gets payed of soon.

I keep Gerbils.

I like to act.

I dance a lot.

I sing on stage.

I love my family.

What Church Is

Church is fun.
Church is knowledge.
Church is true.
Church is what God is.
Church is for us.
Church is us.

Crimes and Friends

Edgar Allan's Official Crime Investigation Notebook by Mary Amato is a wonderful book to read together with family and friends.  It's about mysteries, friends, crimes, and poems.  You might think that friends and poems don't really go together with crimes and mysteries but the author does a great combination.

I like the end of the book where it talks about how the author chose the character's names according to famous people.  The main character is named after Edgar Allan Poe.  Also, the poems that the "robber" leaves are based on actual poems that are written.

Isaac would give this book 9 crime investigation notebooks out of 10.  Eden says she'd give the author a 9 for the book, but a 10 for creativity.

I Just Met a Man Named Sue

I just met a man named Sue
He had a dog named Lou
They'd play in the sun and run, run, run,
He loved his dog named Lou.



Me and My Gerbils

Gerbils are fun and these are mine.
Day by day I love them
Both
I love my pets!!!!!!!!!!!

End of a Unit

We have finished our poetry unit.  Here are my final projects:

I forgot to do writing
It was very depriving
I went to the bottom of the floor
And all I wanted to do was snore
I stayed up all night
And dreamt of a kite
Of dynamite
So the moral of the story
Is read more of the story
Or else mua hahahaha



A pencil is a sword
A wooden hilt and pointy
A paper is a victim waiting
For the pencil.

Limericks

We were going through our school and we ended with poetry.  Our assignment for the day was to make a limerick.  We went online and found some limericks.  One of my favorites goes like this:

There was a young man from Japan

Whose limericks never would scan.

When asked why this was,

He replied "It's because

I always try to fit as many syllables into the last line as ever I possibly can."

I hope you get a good laugh out of it.

And then it was my turn:

There was an old man with kazoos,

Who got struck down with the flus.

He never got over

He now lives with Grover

The sorry old man with the blues.

McDonald's has only one fry
And everyone wanted to buy
They auctioned it away
So it wouldn't decay
So now some old guy has the fry.

Fall

The leaves fall
The air is clinging to my coat
Little Leaf,
Fall, fall, fall

Ourchestra

"Ourchestra"

So you haven't got a drum, just beat your belly.
So I haven't got a horn- I'll play my nose.
So we haven't any cymbals-
We'll just slap our hands together,
And though there may be orchestras
That sound a little better
With their fancy shiny instruments
That cost an awful lot -
Hey, we're making music twice as good
By playing what we've got!

by Shel Silverstein
Where the Sidewalk Ends


I love this poem because it is a fun poem and because it has feeling to it.
I get a fun feeling when I read it.
I also like it because it has made up things in it like, "so you haven't
got a drum, just beat your belly".
