FINAL exams.... :S

I hope I do good!

Study, study, study,

That's all I do...

Study, study, study,

I have no time to feel blue!

Study,  study,  study,

Get it cemented in your brain;

Study, study, study,

Stay at that desk, use a chain!!!

Study, learn, study.

Encode, store, retrieve.

Study, learn, study,

this desk you will never leave!

Learn, study, learn

'til you hear it in your sleep.

Learn, study, learn

It becomes easy, like counting sheep...

Study, study, study,

learn, learn, learn,

read, write, again!

and never from this textbook turn! ;)

Concentrate ( acrostic poem no. 5)

Concentrate real hard.

Open mind,

Never get distracted!

Conscious thoughts.

Even time spent.

Never let your mind drift!

Trying so hard to memorize!

Right from the start,

All of your mind must go into this.

Two, three, four times over, until it

Echoes in your mind.

Back To School

Back to studying....

     Oh groan!!!!

Back to reading,

     Oh nooooooo!!!!



Back to writing,

       Oh my!

Back to memorizing,

        Oh Gosh!




Back to seeing friends,

        every day!

Back to meeting new people,

        every week!




Back to attending

        many social events.

Back to long days and nights,

        books spread on a table.




Back to pulling all nighters!

        Back to putting stuff off!

Back to strained eyes and bad backs,

        All in the name of Education.






Good luck students of every age!

Burin Peninsula drive with my Pop and Nan

Grand Bank is home sweet home,
under a sunshine dome!

In Fortune, a gateway to another country, 

with beautiful rock sediments and history.

Beautiful sunshiny day in Point May

pure happiness in a simple ray

Calmer; peace in its name,

will always be the same

Oh I am so keen, 

of sweet little Lamaline

We certainly will fall,

for Pointe au Gaul

Taylor's Bay -I have heard them say

 that this place is quite okay.

Lord's cove ~~horses galore, 

this land I adore

Each and every dawn 

is quite special in our Lawn.

St. Lawrence- the very best
place for adorance

Epworth makes me so thoughtful,
so thoughtful indeed of Wordsworth.

Wans Worth reminds me of the north,
pretty cold in the winter
but with very pretty summers.

Lance E Ou reminds me straightaway
of Lance Aux Loup, where I spent so
many childhood summer days. :) 

Big Salmonier..... mmmm salmon is all I have to say about this one.

Lewin's Cove, quaint and pretty, quite like a dove

 I have heard it said quite often, "the place for all the best curin' " is Burin.

Marystown is at its core,
they sure have many stores.

 Then we have Frenchman's Cove

 which is as precious as a dove.

 Sea side with beautiful gardens in Garnish, 

this wonderful place will never tarnish.

Grand Beach, place of my sweet Grandmother's birth, 

she has held so many of us, 

her love continues to reach everyone with no fuss.

Grand Bank,  place of so many 

happy, wonderful, and cherishable 

childhood memories...

home sweet home.

⚽️Summer Rain

Children play in the garden,

oblivious to the impending weather.

Children play, so carefree

as light as some feathers.


The sun beams from the sky,

let's play soccer sweet, young boy.

Or perhaps you would like to play indoors,

with a new game or a really cool toy.


Enjoy every moment

you possibly can outdoors.

Before you know it,

weather can change and the rain will pour.


Rain beats down softly

on the window panes.

Watering our trees, grass and plants,

balancing out our wonderful food chain.

My Spectacular Pop (acrostic poem no. 4)

Magnificently,

You're MY pop. How lucky could one be?


Special you are,

Precious indeed;

Excellent - on all accounts!

Could never find a better one,

Terrific you surely are.

Amazing from

Childhood to Adulthood

Unbelievably

Loveable

Automatically forgiving

Rough on the outside, soft inside.


Patience galore

Oh, how lucky could we be to have you, dearest Pop...

....Part of our family forever!!

Sacrifice

cold, like the crystal white snow,

cascading from the blue sky

wind, violent, also harsh

blowing and tearing at objects

cheeks rosy, noses red,

eyes are crying,

but I'm laughing instead.

Cause you made it home safe.

sweet boy

To feel anything,

It is all numb,

To feel everything,

This makes me dumb.

This frustrating,

This very unreal,

This painful cold;

My skin feels teal. 

I love you...

Robins, sparrows, and Ducklings, oh my! :)

Let's go to the pond -

let's feed those ducks.

We can grow more fond

of each other on this trip!

Let's go hear the beautiful robins

as they sing to each other through the trees.

Let's hear them chirp out beautiful songs,

as we walk along this nature path, so free!

Let's watch the sparrows soar

so high above our heads.

Touching us to our cores,

as we wander on our way.

Let's continue on this path,

let's stop to watch those crows.

We can wander over there,

to you I will certainly show.

Now we have the Common Loon,

what a nice bird this is.

What a pretty and catchy tune.

Wail aloud the songs of nature.

This land is made of hills,

this land is full of rocks.

Trees are almost everywhere,

they can shelter hawks.

We have large-eyed owls,

they go, “Who-who-who!”

They will turn to you, they scowl,

Just when you look at them.

Innocence

Sweet, perfect child;

innocent in soul and mind.

In words and actions you are kind,

fair in everything you do.

Clap your hands,

paint until your heart's content.

Dance or sing,

Anything for smiles, I will bring

Your style's so cool!

You have so much class,

you stand out from the mass.

You are awesome, for sure!

Never stop believing,

never stop striving.

You can do this!

You will not miss!

You love that doll,

let's brush her hair.

Or change her clothes,

or draw a picture there.

You love those dinosaurs,

let's play a video game.

Or play some truth or dare,

or play with tigger and pooh bear.

Maybe we should paint,

or draw pictures of each other.

Better yet, I will draw you,

you can always draw another.

I wish you the very best

as you face the challenges ahead.

I sincerely hope you face no dread,

Just wonderful, spectacular days.

My Mother, Acrostic Poem no. 3

My Mom is so sweet,

you would never believe.

My mother is the best,

one-in-a-million – she's great;

there has never been, nor ever will be a

human who cares so deeply, and understands so well;

everlasting, never-ending love

right from the start, we captured one another's hearts.

I will never love another in this unique way...

M.T.S.

The Runner (acrostic poem #2)

(Acrostic Poem no.2)


The Runner started off slow.

He used to run just for exercise;

Exercise for his body.


Racing past the rest,

Up, up, and away!

Now he runs for his mind;

Now he runs to stay sane.

Echoes of his footsteps,

Reverberating in her mind.

True Love - R+M -

I wish I could be there,

right there to see you both;

on this most important day,

most memorable moment.


My heart and soul are with you both

on this most special day.

I want you both to know:

I'd give my left arm to be there!


R, I am sure you are so incredibly beautiful today

I feel super blessed to have witnessed you both from the beginning.

I'm sure that when M. sees you, you will take his breath away

Hopefully I get to witness even more in the future!


Love you both!

I wish you a lifetime of happiness!

xxxooo

Frustration, Acrostic Poem # 1

Feelings are frustrating, make blood boil,

Raging as if she were mad!

Unforgettable, all that she wishes to forget.

She becomes terribly sad when she thinks of her

Train wreak they said, She cannot do it!

Right from the start, just writing her off,

As if she were damaged, or in some way torn.

Terrified is She of what has happened,

Images of her beautiful brown eyes, her hair.

Open wide, her eyes are now, streaming with tears

Never, ever will anything seem right again.

FeAr

I'm scared

of the dark side of everyone else

of the dark side of myself!

of losing people I love with all my heart

of my uncertain future

of what is coming tomorrow or ten years down the road

of hurting myself or others

of never finding my true love

of never feeling complete on my own

of wasting my second chance

of my Skullcandy's breaking

of never getting to say what I want to my loved ones...

I'm terrified.

HOME

HOME, a poem based on the children's movie

Home is where the heart is...
Home is where young memories live...
Home is where everything is his.
Home is where he has plenty to give.

Home is a worthwile investment,
Home is cozy and warm.
Home is a special assessment;
Home is a haven from the storm.

Home size does not matter,
Nor the possessions within.
Home can be a great scatter!
Home can cause you to grin!

Home is where you feel the most safe.
Home is a wonderful place for a waif.
Home is special, no matter the size;
Home is the best, most secure prize.


to be continued...... ;)

I HATE winter

I miss you Green Grass,

I miss you tickling my toes.

I miss walking outside to class,

I am really only winter's foe.

 


Where are you lovely Sun?!

Where are you soft wind?

Pretty flowers, I love to run

With you I can always grin.


Sun, oh how I have mourned your loss,

Since you disappeared behind those clouds.

Are you mad or somehow cross?\

Are you finished with us all in our crowds?


Why must you punish us?

We know you are the boss.

Why have such a big fuss?

We will be at a complete loss....



In the end.

I do not know what to do or say, 

I am at a complete loss.

Suddenly this man is gone, 

this father, son, this boss.

I feel this sudden, sinking feeling,

I know it MUST be grief.

This man is gone, this father,

this loving partner,  this chief.

I must continue on, 

Live through the tears.

Hold on to memories, 

Chase away all fears.

these memories are all we have, 

when a loved one passes on. 

a lesson to cherish each moment, 

before we are all gone.

my uncle, Dad's brother, 

this captain at sea

steer and captain that boat, 

as you glide through heaven in harmony.

farewell.

Brave, inspirational young children

 

 

Brave little kids; with you I am always kind,

So amazingly, incredibly strong,

I very often have thoughts of you zooming through my mind.

It's so hard to believe that with you there could be anything wrong.

Let's play with ponies, dolls or dinosaurs, maybe a board game

Anything at all to bring a smile on to your face

Let’s do a puzzle or play make believe, I like it all the same!

Our lives move by so quickly like a crazy, frantic, race.

I will always have time for sweet, little you

You are great, you can try,

I will always have time, even when you are blue.

If you really want to, go ahead and cry.

It's okay! You are super girl/super boy

I'm just here to give you a little joy!

 

My Poem for Chicks

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pinning up my long, wavy hair

Wearing frilly underwear

Making extra effort to say please and thank you

Why?

 

Cause I'm a chick.

 

Avoiding  ugly confrontations

Remembering to be polite

Not at all letting on that I feel blue

Why?

 

Cause I'm a chick.

 

Never, ever letting a swear word slip

Minding all my P's and Q's

Being kind to all, even those who have been untrue

Why?

 

Cause I'm a chick.

 

 

Smiling nicely at everyone I meet

Going out of my way to help them when they need

Caring about everyone, yes, YOU too

Why?

 

Cause I'm a chick.

 

Hiding when I am sad,

I'm not allowed to just be MAD,

Cause that would just be bad.

Why?

 

Cause I'm a chick.

 

Being sneered at by dudes at the gym

Being marginalized or given menial tasks

At work or school or anywhere at last!

Why?

 

Cause I'm a chick.

 

Maybe I am strong enough to lift that box

Yes I can control my emotions

No, I don’t need help understanding that devotion

Why?

 

Cause I'm a chick.

 

No, my favourite colour is not pink,

No, I do not like wearing make-up,

No, I do not need you to lift that box up.

Why?

 

Cause I'm a chick.

 

And I am strong all on my own.

 

 

Despite the fact that all this sucks,

I am proud to be a woman.

Super proud.

Extremely proud.

 

We are a kind of strong all on our own.
