Write about a color without mentioning the actual color

Evergreen
The shade of a pine forest,
Where the immature seedlings hang,
Waiting for the first gust of fresh spring air.

It's the stem color of the tropical plant,
Angel's trumpet, who's sunshine gold flower,
Has no imperfections.

It's the crunchy lettuce that you chew into,
While you spoon into your split-pea soup,
On the day that you decide to recycle!

      This painting caught my eye right away. This caught my eye for two reasons really. The first reason was because I love nature and this picture obviously has nautre in it. I like how it has components of a forest, mountain and a lake in it.  It feels like it's open yet very peacful and i like it alot. The second reason is becasue of the house/ mansion that is distant in the backround. I love this because I love to learn about things like u.s history and ancient england. The castle in this reminds me alot about english castles and absolutism in the 1600th century!

You will soon meet the person you admire (130)

"You will soon meet the person you admire."

I admire Yotsuba. Yotsuba is a character from a graphic novel called Yotsuba. I admire her because she doesn’t think twice about what she does --She goes over to her neighbor’s house whenever she wants and just walks in. A person that I admire and I would love to meet is Suzanne Collins. She is my favorite author in the world. I think that Hunger Games is one of the best series that I have ever read in my life. Along with: The forest of hands and teeth, Divergent and Fablehaven. Suzanne Collins has a way with words that I wish I could have. I want to be able to write like she does. I’m jealous because my sister has an amazing writing talent, when she writes it’s amazing!

E

Every day I have homework. Even on the weekends, I still do homework that was assigned. Everyone in the world has different traits. Emotions are fun to guess when you see someone walking by. Eeyore from winnie the pooh just needs someone to hug him. Erudite are the intellegent people in my new book that i chose for homework. Ernist was my artistic grandfathers name. Ernist was great at painting, woodworking and everything in between. Ernist painted a picture of a bird out of a pen and i have it hung on my wall in my room! Even though I never got to meet him, i feal as if he and i are connected through his painting!

Believe


and preted it gets easier,
when your hero moves to another world, never to be seen again,
when your best isn't good enough.

and pretend it gets easier,
when your dream is shatered in two,
when you know the going will only get tougher.

and pretend it gets easier,
after hours of daunting homework,
after a failed grade.

and pretend it gets easier,
only to make your day feel better,
when the real thing to do is believe that it gets easier.
