I strongly regret not posting for the last few days. I've been busy with the Art Walk, homework, and reading. But I'm back!!! I think.
The Art Walk was pretty fun last Friday. I saw all kinds of artwork and got good comments about mine. Art's really something I enjoy. I'll share some of my stuff in a little while. In the mean time, I'm gonna talk about poems.
Poetry's cool.
There. I said it.
Anyways, I'm getting info about the Civil War shoved down my throat. I have to admit it's slightly intriguing, but not "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" intriguing.
Guess what? I'm really going to talk about poetry now! Woohoo!
So we're doing a poetry unit in school right now. "Okay, cool," you say. But inside you're thinking "I hate poetry." If you're not, I congradulate you. Here are some of my most recent poems. I hope they're good enough for your eyes.
Space
What is space like?
A vast emptiness?
As empty as the unlit moon?
As empty as a thief’s soul?
The stars in the sky surround me in the night
Little spotlights all focused on me…
As if I were some sort of center of the universe
Troublesome Trouble
Don’t trouble trouble until trouble troubles you
Many times I have heard this
The only thing is that trouble hasn’t troubled me yet
So I haven’t troubled trouble and
I don’t plan on troubling trouble for a long time
I may never trouble trouble
Because what has trouble done to me?
Paper
A blank sheet of paper can hold many mysteries
With pencil in hand, I form curves and delicate patterns
For many to behold
Cross-hatching and shading
Astonishing details
And while specific angles continue the realism,
Depth’s illusion runs rampant
Across this thin sheet of bleached wood.
In reality, a sheet of paper is a window into the imagination
For people to observe and admire and think,
“Now that’s a pretty picture.”
Language
One day language spoke out to me
I used to just know it was free
I learned it persuades
And gives me good grades
I consider it now as a keyTada!
Also this is a really cool forum, created by the animator and voices of Charlie the Unicorn. It's snazztastic!

Motivation can be hard to create when doing something you don't want to do. This could be work at your job, work from school, exercise, or even chores and tasks like mowing the lawn or taking our the trash. Whatever that task is, it's good to have some sort of reward in order to get yourself going. For example, I had to do some homework today. My reward was a bar of Hershey's. A quarter for Algebra, a quarter for Science, a quarter for Social studies and a quarter for Writing. I'm halfway though the bar. So, whenever you feel like putting something off, do it and reward yourself for your astounding self-control!
