Poetry

Poetry has happiness,
Joy,
Appreciation.
Poetry has sorrow,
Anguish,
Depression.
Poetry is music to my ears.
Poetry is tears down my face.
Poetry is our souls,
And has many tales to tell.

Joy

Joy brings us together,
Joy wills us to cherish what we have.
Joy helps us love one another.
Joy keeps us going, like fuel in a car.
Joy drives us to reach our goals.
Joy is priceless.

Gotta Go Green

Hi, I'm Pooja and I'm here to help you realize the importance of saving our planet. Earth is the only place we can live, and if the world ends soon, it'll be because of global warming. Just remember the three R's to keep our planet healthy:

-Reuse= Keep using things over till they need to be replaced, for example, keep using plastic bags from the grocery store, because it takes a lot of oil just to make one of those bags.

-Reduce= Reduce the amount of trash you throw out. Instead, recycle. An example is, use a towel to wipe your hands after washing them, instead of billions of paper towels.

-Recycle= Here it is, the last R. Every one of you will know what recycling is. Recycle plastic, paper, cardboard, etc. Recycle apple cores and veggie/fruit peels by putting them on soil by plants. It makes good fertilizer.

Well, got to go. I'm going to help save the Earth. Remember, it's the little things that make a big difference. See you all later!!!

My Diary and Me

Hey!!!
It's me, Sarah!!!
So here's the latest news:

We were at gymnastics and Courtney couldn't even do a somersault!! My coach hates her. I'm so happy. So Courtney was like,"I hate gymnastics so much, I would so like to leave." My coach was like,"Stop bein' a darned slacker. I hate slackers like you. Just follow your sis and you might be allrigh'." My coach is from Texas and talks with a Southern Accent. "Get on the darned mats girls. This is gonna be one long session. I'm talkin' abou' you-know-who," She glanced at Courtney, who was trying to arrange the mats and rolled her eyes." Courtney. Don't touch the mats. I had them all organized. Girls, not includin' Court, set it up again. Please." She rubbed her temples, as if trying to wave off a migrain. "Change of plans," she suddenly said, "Girls, not includin' Court, go work on the beams and floor." As I passed her, I heard her mutter,"At least y'all are past kindergarten." My face broke out into the large grin. "Coach, maybe I should intruct Courtney, you've obviously had a long day." I said. She smiled,"Thanks Sarah, you've always got my back." She walked into her office. "Okay, Court." Courtney scowled. "Watch carefully and do exactly what I do." I went into a complex stucture of flips, cartwheels, back hand springs and handstands, clearly giving her the message that she would so have to keep up. By the time I was done, it was the end of class and I was exhausted. She smiled,"Great work sis. We'll do more tomorrow." I grimaced. If she wanted to play hard, I would have to crush her.

Hot springs are pools of hot water rich with minerals and chemicals.

Geothermal energy can be found in places with past or present volcanic activity. It occurs mostly in the west, particularly in a pacific area called the Ring of Fire.

Through the Burrow

Through the burrow, round and round, my burrow, their burrow, our burrow. Through the burrow, round and round, no change as I go below and above the barren ground, until I recognize the soft pitter-patter of the everlasting rain.

This is a poem I wrote about change. You should be able to adapt to the pitter-patter of rain, that's the change. I hope this is one of the most important lessons in life.
