My Great Grand Father

I never met,

Though pictures depict his life,

He, was strong, He was audacious,

He is in my heart.

My serene great-grand father,

Seems like he’s miles away,

Though, he’s watching down on me,

Haven, is where he is,

Is where someday, far in the future…

I will meet him.

I look a lot like him,

great grand mother would say with a smile,

I could tell she missed him, the way she stared at me, with stars in her eyes.

I was told, by my mother…

Great grandmother enjoys to see me smile,

Because its just like his…

Therefore, when I visit her, I come with a profusion of smiles,

I act as if everything is ok,

Even if its not, as long as she’s happy.

My great grandfather,

He’s with me, always…

for the long run.

The Catcher in the Rye

Family doesn't care,
Family doesn't matter...
Im on my goddam own.
Up on this scrummy old hill,
away from the crowd.

The load, agressive, football,crashes from down bellow.
Theres no way im there interact... hell no.
Not there for the game, there for a memmory,
something to remember this place by,
a sign, a goodbye.


Soon enough, i thought of something...
something to help me get the hell out of this place.

The Last Song

In this novel, The Last Song by Nicholas sparks, its about a girl named Veronica (but everyone calls her Ronnie). This is a romantic, but sad novel. Once you pick it up, I guarantee you it will be hard to put down, and stop reading. This is the type of story you want to snuggle up alone in the quiet, and just read and read, no distractions. If you are the type of person who loves romantic novels, but also sad ones, your in luck, because here you got both in one book!
In this story, Ronnie hasn’t been the best daughter ever, she has even almost gone to jail. Her dad doesn’t live with her, so her parents are divorced. She has a little brother who misses being able to be with his dad. So for the summer vacation, her mom sends Ronnie, and her little brother to her dads house at the beach. She loved to play piano with her dad all the time, but she gave up her passion of playing the piano when her parents divorce. When she was a pianist she dreamed of going to Julliard’s for collage, but she gave it all up. Her family church got burnt down when her dad was inside playing the piano. So he blamed himself when later on he found out it was really Ronnie’s boyfriend (named Will’s) best friend. Ronnie and Will met on the beach, when he was playing volleyball and he hit her, causing her drink to spill all over her. While her brother spent every second he had with his dad wisely. Ronnie and Will fall in love, and spend almost all the summer vacation together, until something happens, and the whole story turns upside down, no longer romantic, but now sad, if you want to know what happens that’s so sad, you have to read it yourself.
The Last Song is really romantic, sweat and fun, until a tragedy occurs. Thank god she has her boyfriend will there by her side every step of the way, and he sticks by her side when she needs him most. Ronnie starts to feel full of regret, and wishes she can undo it all now, but she cant.
Nicholas sparks is an amazing righter, look up a few of his other novels, I’m half way through his other novel called Dear John, and I have noticed how Nicholas Sparks loves to right in first point of view.
In conclusion I deeply recommend The Last Song because you wont ever want to put it down, its really nerve wrecking, and fun.

My Aunt

Is a mother
Has ears that can hear through concrete,
My aunt has nerves of steal
My aunt, the early bird,
The one who’s the boss of a bank, but never gives the money away.

My aunt has the power, she would win if she ran for president.
My aunt, the perfect cherry added on the top of every ice cream
the one who you hear always cracking a joke,
My aunt, the clever one,
My aunt is as sharp as a tack,
Jesus, God, P E R F E C T.
My aunt-

The gum in the middle of the lolipop
my aunt... the apple in New York, the Crocodile in Florida,
because of her, i have a load laugh,
because of her i know how to shop, for good deals,
because of her... i saw the statue of liberty.

My aunt, the pop in rice crispies,
Because of her, i know what family realy means.

Cyber Bullying

Tyler Clemienti has been reported to have unfortunately been taped in a sexual act with a other man, by his roommate (Robbie) in his neighbors room (Molly Wei), and she did nothing about it. It has been posted on the Internet for everyone to see! I think this is a violation of privacy, and I think they both have something to do with it, even though Molly just stood there, she did nothing about it, so they have to pay for the price, and set for charges. This is a horrible thing to do, and not a matter to laugh about, they should know that, so I DO think this is a hate crime.
I think cyber bulling is quite a serious matter, because i personally think that people rather say offensive things on the computer, than in person because it is "easier" to insult someone, and you don't have to face the person, and the that persons reaction.

A Bump on the Road, of Friendship

You think you know me, but you don’t,
You think you know everything, but your amiss.
I see you, looking at me, with that face…
Again.

She acts like her life is the best,
Just to pull people in her charming smile, as did I.
You think you understand,
What im going through, but you don’t.
that’s just another way you pulled me in your trap,

You say “I know how your feel” but you don’t.
When I thought, finally someone I can talk to, but that’s all just a lie,
Our friendship is based on a cold, mean, horrible lie.
You think you know…
who this poem is about (of course you think someone else), wrong again.
Cut it out, that’s all I ask.

I don’t want our friendship to be interminable,
but it seems like its going in that direction.
I know we are in that moment of a friendship, where it hit’s a bump,
In this case… a long one…
But I still love you, as one of my best friends, even if you detest me.

I confess, I am mad at you, I say I’m not,
But I am, but only because I don’t want your feelings hurt,
Just like mine was.

I confess I’m sorry for what ever I had done,
Lets just hope this bump on the road ends…
Soon.

My Big... perfect sister

My big sister,
is always there,
to give sage advice...
to help me get through the rough times in life she has experienced too.

She is the best roll model,
perfect this, perfect that.
Like her long blonde wavy hair,
along with her tall skinny body,
shes even very intelligent...
and lets not forget her perfect, straight teeth, pays of for four years of braces.

No matter what,
No matter where,
still my big sister I can count on.

Even though I know, she is moving out,
I still know I can go to her,
no matter how far away,
and I will listen to what she has to say.
