It's on my face
It's in my hair
Leaves are blowing
Everywhere
I love to just sit and feel the air
Some it's chilly
Sometimes it's straight
but it is important
Yes it's our fate
Sunglasses are hot and
Flip-flops are cool but
School is a drool
When I look outside
I see the sun
I see seagulls having some fun
I want to join
soonly I did
Then I just felt a breeze
upon my cheek
Jeez
I was asleep

The Library
Library is very awesome if you are interested in books.
If you are very interested in book you should check out the books at the library.
Books are very good if you like to read.
Ready to check out books? Go to the library,
After you check out books you can go home and
Read them.
Yes, you can go to the library to check out books.

Hole in my life
In Great Stories Club, we are reading Jack Gantos' Hole in my life.
At the beginning of the book, Gantos quotes Oscar Wilde: "I have learned this: it is not what one does that is wrong, but what one becomes as a consequence of it."
On p.7, Gantos says his father said this: "These folks zigged when the rest of the world zagged. And once you cross the line, there's no coming back."
Think about these 2 opinions. Which do you agree with? Why? Is there a line which once you cross it, you can never be a regular, decent person again? How do you think all those people Jack's dad pointed out would feel about being known only for the things they've done wrong?

I Float in the Pool
I Float in The Pool
Relaxing on the water.
Soothing My Problems From School,
Swimming Like An Otter.
The Breeze Cools My Face,
The Pump Calms Me To Sleep,
Enjoying Myself in This Place,
My Thoughts Turn Deep.
My Troubles Float Away,
Dreaming Of The Waves.
Having So Much Fun On This Day,
Trying To Understand This Maze.
