Voices chatter loud and clear
The clock ticks by fast

Oh Biza
How I miss when I could ride your back and sneak you treats
How I could nuzzle my face into your furr
When I spot a rhodesian ridgeback on the street I think of you
I had such little time with you before death came to your door
The tumor was in your lung and I couldn’t do anything to stop it
We drove up the the vet and said our goodbyes
I didn’t really know what was happening
I was too young to understand
I don’t believe in heaven or afterlife
But I know it was better for you to go in happiness than in pain
Personification Poem

I hang in the wind all day long
My pot getting warmer as the sun goes up
I divided the life of two families
I can’t help them
All I can do is listen
The arguments back and forth never stop
They are friends, they were friends
I bring each of them joy when they see my flowers
I bring light to the dark times
The lovely lady waters me
And the man smells me every morning
He comes back late at night and he holds me for support
He can’t stand by himself for he is too tired
One day the lady didn’t come back from work and the man watered me
He cried as he did
Then when the lady came back the hugged
I feel like I brought them together
The arguments stopped and laughter started
I grow old but they keep me alive
First line Poem
categories: Edson, Humanities
It was Martha who saw the lake first.
Even in the middle of a clear day, much of the jungle is dark as a room at dusk.
I shouldn’t have done it.
Rudi had a feeling that something was wrong as soon as he returned from the village.
They’re out there.
I was one of the kids who slipped through the cracks.
The little girl wouldn’t stop crying. I didn’t blame her.
I was completely aware that I was being an idiot, that we needed to get out of there before anyone saw us, but it was like I had eaten spill-your-guts, and words just kept pouring out.
A dream, just a dream was what a piece of my mind told me, but the terror and pain ‘just a dream’ evoked seemed no small thing. Yet I couldn’t escape it.
I never asked for this.
Attempted murder was not how piper liked to start her afternoon.
Style of Oni Poem
categories: Edson, Humanities
A girl sits by herself in the ally way.
Despair engulfs her like cancer.
No one’s there to see her cry and scream.
Alone forever and left with sorrow.
Death comes to her door every day,
But she fights it off like a pack of wolves.
Her face is deprived of life
She smells of sewer and human excrement
The people that walk by stare
Not knowing what to do
How can they help?
Life will go on like this for eternity
With different people every time
This will happen until they die.
My Map Project 2
categories: Art
I am very happy about how my project is going. It is almost over and I am going to put layers in and hang it up. I am adding a moon in the back round. I am going to put every thing in order and line it up. I am very close to being done. It looks great and it is very colorful. I am going to cut out the to other spray painted papers and outline the last one in silver or white pencil. That way it will pop out. I think I am on the track to success.

My map project idea
My idea is to have an out line of the New York city skyline in color. How I am going to do this is cut out the skyline out of the map, then spray paint it on to black paper. The problem I ran into was, I wanted a clean map outline to put in front of it. So I had to make another outline with black paper and cut that one out too. After that I decided that After I spray paint it I would want to hang it up by string. Right now I am testing spray paint ideas. I am still making it and I think it is going very well. I want to add in other thing hanging from string like a moon or a sun. 
Auntie’s point of view writing
If you are ever giving birth and you are in a bad place, this is what to do. First you call out for help. A good tip for that is to wale. It brings more attention to you. If that doesn’t work try to push really hard, like really hard. Yell if it helps. And if that does not work then give up. It is probably already dead so just give up because you have tried everything. After someone comes they will help you and get the baby out. It is probably dead, but if it is not dead then you are lucky! Birth is a hard thing and I might not show it but I do care when my baby dies. (sigh)
