Friends

My body was suddenly tight! I tried to free myself. I was like little ropes. When I tried to look around I felt a tug in my front side. I closed my eyes for I knew who it was. I braced myself for the third tug, I felt it. I said, “Hello Fiona, Mya, and Olivia.”

White

White is all the colors.
White is the color of snow.
White is the color of the clouds.
White is the color of sheeps wool.
White is everywhere,
White is beautiful.
White is where heaven is.
White is sad, yet happy.
White is life.

Embarrassed

When you suddenly cry at school.
When you walk into the bathroom, and
see that someone is in there.
When you get sent to the principal's office.
When you suddenly get yelled at in public.
You miss your school bus, and are late
,and you walk into an assembly and have to
explain to the whole school why you are late.
Yet no one believes you.
How do you feel?
Sad? Happy?

Life

Life
Shy like the meadows,
Sweet like the birds,
Soft like the wind,
Sunny in the grasslands,
Soothing like, well, ME!
They all equal the same thing, it is LOVE.
Love is Life
