Mixed Feelings

I can't wait,

for this time of year,

but I'm sad,

so I shed a tear.

This road has turned a different way,

happy or sad,

I cannot say.

Time

Time flies by so fast.

I don't know why.

Maybe I'm having fun,

or is it just me?

I hope it's normal.

Tick, tock, tick, tock.

When I'm bored,

Time

slows

down

a

lot.

Summer

Summer is almost here

Summer, I do not fear.

The sizzling sun,

After summer has begun,

We'll have tons of fun!!

Flowers

The fragile petals
sway in the wind
soft and smooth,
unlike metals
Pink, orange, purple, blue,
all different, like
me and you.
Clouds give a precious drop,
the help and guidance,
making the flowers pop!

April

Storms, storms, out of control

People go out for tornado patrol

Pitter, patter, rain dyed from the sky

The flower buds like a secret spy

In a number of days, they reveal themselves

To some flowers, the bees are like elves!

Weed

Stuck in the ground, not free.

You deserve it, right were you should be.

As people go by, you get trampled and pushed,

Finally, someone comes along, and you are smushed.

Perfect Song

Give me the beat

Melody, such a treat

Harmony, the one I need

Energy rushing through me.

Sky

Why, why is the sky so blue?

Can't it be red, or yellow too?

I know why can't be as black as a crow,

Blue helps stop the hiccups, did you know?

Perfect

Your perfect smile

makes me stare

at your for a while.

Your perfect sparkling eyes

is like watching

the sunrise.

10 Reasons Why We Shouldn't Have School

1. Social life is important too.
2. Why do we study history when in the future, WE'RE history?!
3. Homework hurts trees.
   
4. When we sit in class, think about our health...you don't want to get fat do you?
5. We spend all these years studying when we don't really use all of the knowledge we have in the future.
6. The bullies issue is getting better, but there are still some around.
7. Teachers can spend their time freely if we didn't have school!!
8. ...I guess school isn't so bad...

P.S. That wasn't 10, it was just 8.

Early Morning

A warm orange and pink
sunshine awakes me with a wink
of joy. The bright glow is a
fuzzy comfortable blanket wrapped
around me, the sun lapped
it's hot tongue to lick me. Ah,
early morning.

Dance: Performing Art or Sport? I choose Performing Art

You are sitting at the Civic Center watching Swan Lake. You think, “Wow! Now I really know what performing art is!” or, you will think this, Wow! I should watch this more often! It’s like watching football!” What would you think?

Dance is a performing art, right? You better say yes! At dance, you win gold medals at competitions, not tournaments. You don’t have teams like the Giants or Packers; you dance by yourself or in groups. Also, you don’t really have a “home stage,” you perform at different stages like the Civic Center or Hoyt Sherman Place.

Solos, duets, trios, anything on stage, but no way, Jose you’re doing that in soccer! Variations like Blue Bird, Four Little Swans, or Kitri’s Entrance are performed while people in softball are pitching. Pitching, dancing, well, don’t you think it’s just a little different? Okay, a lot different.

Where do dancers practice, you asked? Well, they practice in a studio like SCBD or Charlee's Elite School of Dance. At soccer, you usually practice in a gym or in the field, but that’s so not happening in dance!

You are sitting at the Civic Center watching Swan Lake. Now, you think, “That’s what you call performing art!”
