Art Club Fun! Painting Fun! Blogging Fun! Forum Fun!

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 key

Tada!

Also this is a really cool forum, created by the animator and voices of Charlie the Unicorn. It's snazztastic! http://www.filmcow.net/forums/

P.S. The title bar at the top of the window in the forum changes every week or so. 640!!!
