Books

Pick a book,
but only one.
You can read another.
Only when your done.

Books five knowledge.
Knowledge they supply.
If there weren't any books,
I think I would die.

Grandpa's Garden

Every year it tries to grow,
Only to fail and grow old.
The stems go limp
and tears they cry,
but still every year, they will try.

Life~Haiku

Life is valuable.
Live your life to the fullest.
Death always follows.

Work~Haiku

I have been chosen,
For a job I do not want.
But with work, comes pay.

Breathe~Haiku

Cherish every breath.
As the next might be your last.
With life will come death.

Haiku

What is the meaning
Of hanging from big tree vines
They look like monkeys.

Seasons

When Winter's snow melts away
Jack Frost's ice comes out to play.
Grabbing you by the foot and leg,
COLD
It spreads through your body,
Like the plague.
There is no escaping evil ice
Until Spring's heat
Decides to be nice.

Beanstalk and the Jack

Hi. My name is beanstalk, you might remember me from the foolish children's tale "Jack and the Beanstalk" and honestly, none of that junk the little kid Jack told the press was true, and I am SICK AND TIRED of hearing those dumb climbers tell me about the UNTRUE story Jack told them. But don't worry that is what I'm here for... to tell you the real story.

The Real Story

So one day, me and my little seed buddies were just hanging out, laughing at the bruised apples. When right then and there some freak came and scooped and handful of me and my friends up and would not let us down. At this point, I was screaming my head off, "HEY! LET ME OUT OF HERE! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE! THIS IS A FREE COUNTRY!" But my mysterious kidnapper would not let us down. Then we were sliding " WOAH!".

When I finally realized that we were in a sack, I was MAD.

"Hey guys can you believe this freak?!"

I waited, but no response came.

"Guys?"

Still no response.

"Uh-Oh..."

Could it be possible? No. It couldn't be. Were my best friends, gulp, DEAD? That's when I fell asleep.

When I woke up, It took me two hours to realize that I was in the ground. One morning two weeks later, I awoke in sunlight. I was now two inches above the ground! Before I knew it, I was 36 feet tall! WOW! And then one day this Jack kid comes up to me and starts climbing... "OWW!"

He tried climbing up and got scared halfway and then slid back to the ground, what a baby, I thought, and the next day It's all over the media.

"little boy climbs beanstalk to find giants at the top"

"Local Child Is Greeted by GIANTS at Top of Beanstalk"

But as I said, none of it is true. But I guess thats what you get for being mean to bruised apples!

Why Rain is the Best Form of Precipitation

Ever since I was little, I have always loved rain. Have you ever sat out on your patio during a storm and watch the rain pour down? Making puddles and drenching everything below it. That is one of my favorite things to do. That is what this essay is about. RAIN!

When it rains, you can hear the pitter patter on your roof, or on your window pane. Most of the time that certain sound makes me feel safe and calm. Why? If you imagine standing in the rain getting drenched and being scared out of your mind of getting struck by lightning and are frightened by the sound of thunder, then you could imagine why being INSIDE makes me feel safe. The sound of thunder is a little scary to some people, so the soft sound of rain is a sweet sugar cookie in comparison to the booming roar of thunder.

I also like the feel of the rain on your skin, It's actually almost indescribable. I guess it depends on what kind of rain you are feeling. To me, rain feels like a warm outdoor shower, with clothes on..... Weird right! Cold rain feels like tiny shards of glass are landing on your skin, but not really stabbing you, then they gently, gracefully roll of of your skin.

After it rains, most of the time, you will see a pretty little rainbow, with all the colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. SO PRETTY! Have you ever tried to get to the end of the rainbow, in hope that there is a big pot o' gold at the end? Some people say that the rainbow just goes on and on forever and ever, it never stops. But nobody really knows. In the fall, when all the leafs fall off the trees, you can see that after a nice long rain, you can see the droplets of rain on the empty branches, gently rolling. And in the spring ( same scenario) you can see the droplets of water rolling of the leafs, swiftly flying through the air onto the ground or the next leaf. Some of the droplets get stuck in the spider webs. All of it is truly magnificent.

Not to be rude but... why would you even consider liking snow, ice or sleet? They all just stay on the ground, and honestly, I am absolutely positive we could live without snow, sleet, and ice... if you think about that snowstorm/ blizzard we just had, I think you will agree with me when I say that rain is WAY better! A lot of the countries near the equator don't even get rain at all. But every country gets rain at some point of the year! We need rain. Without it we would have no plants, trees, flowers, crops, NO PRODUCERS!!! We would all DIE!

So you see, rain is VERY important, useful, and definitely THE BEST form of precipitation, but if I can not convince you... then fine, go ahead and like some other form of precipitation, but when starts disliking you back, you can go ahead and water your plants, crops, tees ect. with snow, sleet, or ice! I can already tell you that it won't work out well!
