This is a poppy

The soil filled the boots of the trapped soul

 The poppy the only thing to grow 

Except for the number of bodies to hit the ground                    

 The trenches dug deeper

 The rain fell harder

 The bullets cracking past the ear

 Just to bring one small tear                                  by   Tony .M

 Down a soldier’s wounded cheek

 make his heart grow weak

 Murmuring a song 

To keep the arms pumping strong

 One hundred legs moving one by one

 Over the sand bag hill

 Bullet piercing through you like a quill 

Calling out for any man with gauze or bandage at hand

 Now you are trapped in the trenches.

Right now I am typing with the hands that have touched the Olympic torch. it is amazing that I even got to see it but I the got to hold it is so cool this is my story.

I stare at my red Olympic mitts poking the maple leaf waiting for it to come. IT IS HERE someone yells. I look up and feel the heat on my face coming from the Olympic torch. The man who  was running with it old and wise looking. as he runs past me a small tear runs down my cheek as i think to myself,  “Wow this is the Olympic torch that  will go around Canada and I have seen it.”

After his speech my class and I start to walk to the bus and then we were asked if we  wanted to hold the torch… We said yes! As I held the torch I thought to myself, “Wow, now it will  go around Canada with my fingerprints on it… WOW!

a super book

I have read a lot of good books and a lot of bad books but the best book I have ever read was  Hatchet.  It is like a written survivor episode.  It is not super hard or really easy.  It is about a kid named Brian who gets lost in the  woods with only a hatchet to live with. He has amazing adventures and I highly recommend Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. If your as crazy as me about Hatchet then read the sequal  Brian’ s Winter.

This is my dog

Tango is my dog. She is a duck toller lab cross and she is happy all the time.  Her coat is a golden yellow and she is about two feet tall. She is sweet and kind and she would never hurt anyone. She can sit and shake a paw she can also catch a kiss and play fetch. She is super talented but sometimes she misbehaves by escaping through the fence.  Maybe that is her talent. My Mom calls the great her disappearing Houdini.

Here is a funny story about her. One day my aunt was in the living room of our old house talking to my mom. Then she stopped talking and said “it is  too quiet.  Your daughter is in school and your son is napping …THE DOG!” she wailed. On the floor was her perfectly marinated steak being gnawed at by Tango. 

Another time we baked banana bread for my Sparks bake sale and wrapped it up in little packages to be sold.  My aunt left them on the counter when she came to pick me up from school.  When we got home we found Tango under the table eating the banana bread.
