JUNGLE GYM DAYS

Lunch done, magic begins

off to the jungle gym

running down the hill

seeing our castle waiting

princesses, ninjas and even flying pigs

one day in Australia

the next day Arizona

waiting for our imagination to begin

koala bears and horses

all or our friends joined us too!

just the two of us

crazy as can be

we would travel the world

but then the bell would ring

and all would disappear

but we would wait

for the next day

we would be off

off to the jungle gym

HANDS

Lend me a hand

a prayer hand

hold my hand

with my own hand

a couple of hands

during a dance

hand me that

that preformers hat

hands together

hands apart

together in union

they'll never fall apart

wedding hand

jeweled with joy

red rover hands together

torn apart

hand in hand

lets take a bow

hand in hand

lets hold on for now

Assignment #2 : Things Remembered

My favorite piece of writing is the poem Picture Puzzle Piece By: Shel Silverstein. I first read it when my fouth grade teacher Ms. Boyle handed me book, Where the Sidewalk Ends By: Shel Silverstein. It had a collection of his poems but the one that stood out the most and had me think about it was the poem Picture Puzzle Piece. It really made my imagination go wild. How such a small piece of wet cardboard could be sooo many things. Since then I have always been thankful of how lucky i am to have such a imagination, but now that I'm getting older the imagination is not as strong as it use to be but every time i read this poem it makes me feel like my imagination has come back to me and that i can imagine anything i want.

One picture puzzle piece

Lyin' on the sidewalk,

One picture puzzle piece

Soakin' in the rain.

It might be a button of blue

On the coat of the woman

Who lived in a shoe.

It might be a magical bean,

Or a fold in the red

Velvet robe of a queen.
It might be the one little bite

Of the apple her stepmother

Gave to Snow White.

It might be the veil of a bride
Or a bottle with some evil genie inside.

It might be a small tuft of hair

On the big bouncy bellyOf Bobo the Bear.

It might be a bit of the cloak

Of the Witch of the West

As she melted to smoke.

It might be a shadowy trace

Of a tear that runs down an angel's face.

Nothing has more possibilities

Than one old wet picture puzzle piece.

By: Shel Silverstein

When were you really happy with your creativity?

When was your imagination at its peak? What was one of the times you used your imagination?

First Assignment 9/12/07

Hi my name is Rima. This blog is for my Creative Writing class. My writing interests are quotes, short stories and haiku poems. I like to make diamond poems and limerick poems and write about my life. In the next four months i'd like to learn how to write better and learn how to make my words flow. I want to learn how to write an actual poem that has meaning and depth in it. My favorite authors have to be Nicholos Sparks, J.K. Rowling and the guy who wrote The Kiterunner. I appreciate their books and how they write because they get a hold of the reader very well. Once i start reading any of their books i can't let go of the book and won't put it down until i finish it. A quote i believe in is "When you were born you were crying and everyone around you was smiling make it though when you die people around you are crying and you are the one smiling." i believe this because i feel like i should make a impact on the world that we live on and that i want to be remembered as someone who would always be happy and not the person who no one noticed.
