A Haiku for You

Today, we wrote haiku, triplets, and limericks. This is my haiku about apple blossoms. The only time I've seen apple blossoms (I think) is when my class when to Washington D.C. and the apple trees were in bloom. Anyway, here goes:

Apple Blossoms
Swaying in the wind,
The precious blossoms whisper,
Gently on your cheek.

Happy Easter!

Hello, everyone! As the title says, Happy Resurrection Day to you! This day has really made me think (which, frankly, I don't like doing). Imagine being betrayed by one of your friends with a sour kiss for money. Imagine being whipped with a scourge with little pieces of sharp glass in it. Imagine having long nails being pounded into your wrists and feet. But most of all, imagine having all the sins of the world, both present and future, heaped onto your back. That is what Jesus did. And for that reason, we should all be eternal grateful. Easter is not just a happy day with adorable bunnies and colorful eggs; it's the day that Jesus Christ rose from the dead. That day, thousands of years ago, death was defeated. Amazing, isn't it? Here's a poem I wanted to share with y'all (as you can tell, my class is studying poetry):

Good Friday

What is good about Good Friday?
When mocked and scorned was He?
When rivers of scarlet flowed down His face?
When they crucified the Prince of Peace?

What is good about Good Friday?
He took on the shame on the cross
That was our own to bear.
Now we are free and His alone!

An Awesome Poem

Hello! I haven't posted in a long time, but this is one poem that has to be written somewhere other than paper. Today, my teacher had us write poems in rows, and this is the best (according to me). I did not write it; Melia, Anna, Dakota, and Indigo wrote this one.

Love is an unmovable mountain
A fountain of impassive peace
A Patience, a Joy, a Peace
A feeling that always endeavors

No motion or movement throughout the land
No breeze can blow it away
The things I've found in love
Don't happen everyday

Science Fair (I'm Not Trying to Brag!)

Hey! Sorry for not posting. I have been really busy with science reports and such. Today was the Mason County Science and Engineering Fair. This year my project was about acid rain and how it affects plant growth. I was pleasantly surprised when it won the Best in Category award. (My category was 8th grade Biological.) What was even more shocking was the Best of Show award. There are only two of these awards in the science fair, and I'm honored to have one. With it, I also won a sweatshirt (which is huge on me!) with this year's logo on it. The picture was drawn by 4th grader Cody Bragg. It's a picture of a mad scientist and it's very....um....interesting. LOL :D Well, bye for now!
