Concrete Poem

Square

I am a regular quadrilateral shape and I have four points to my body figure. I have four
equal sides which means each point are 90 degrees and I equal up to 360 degrees total.
I have 2 hypercubes and 2 orthaplex in my shape figure and that might be real hard to see.
No one knows how it feels to be a square and other shapes call us plain and dumb at times.
But I just think they are jealous that they can't have good body points to their names and at
times they want to be like us but it doesn't realy matter because squares never cry when things
like that come int our way. We love ourselves and we love the things about us and we are smart.
Well if you ever want to know how it feels to be at our shoes just look at the things they has came
after our name like for example a rhombus or twisiting our bodies into diamonds, trapezoids and just
other good shapes like that. Triangles are super hatredful of four point shapes because they are lame
at being only three and nothing more than that but it's whatever because it's your choice to be like us.

The house was made of…bricks and it made me love the house evevn more and I loved the look fo the bricks that made the house look more beautiful. But for some reason I felt that some things in the house was wobbly and I was scared to go inside the house and see what it was made of. Like for example, the door wasn't acting right and I was worried that it might fall off, and then the windows wouldn't open when I tried to fix it and see what was going on because the hot was a little bit too hot. Then there was twinkle noise that I heard from upstairs and I went to go see what was that racket that I heard. But it was only the old rocking chair that my grandma gabby use to sit in and I started to get sad because I missed her so much. But I went outside in the backyard and there was a wagon that we use to ride in with the horse that she use to own but it had went away to my mom's house so that way we can have it full time to ourselves.

Sonnet Poem

What Do I Look Like To You Everyday?
What Describes Me When You Think About Me?
Being Speechless Not Knowing What To Say.
Give A Kiss to You In My Favorite Dreams
Do Not Want You To Leave Me No Time Soon.
Thou Shall Not Hate But Have Even More True Love.
Wish That We Can Go Far From Earth To Moon.
If You Die I Know You'll Watch From Above.
Am I Beautiful When You Hold Me Close?
I Don't Want No One Else In Life But You.
Passion But Tickles When You Touch My Nose.
All I Know Is You Are Meant To Be True.
Together We Stand, Together We Fall.
Throughout Our Ups And Downs We Beat The All.

If i could invite three people to talk to for an hour it would be my Auntie Tasha, my best friend Amanda Johnstad, and Tupac. Tupac is one of America's greatest MCs there has ever been in American history. Auntie Tasha had a baby girl name Tatyana and she passed away in '04, but she was real fun but crazy at the same time. Then my best friend/godsister died in '09 and she was a good friend to me and she inspired me to do half the things that i am doing. But they all have been an inspiration of me and they have taught me some things that I have learned from my mistakes or something I will use in the future and I really want them to tell me their feelings of how they are whereever they ended up. And also how they feel about how the world is ending up these days just things like that and what they wil do to live another day.

Assonance Writing Assignment

As I ran with a knife in my hand trying to keep myself protected from my dad.
I had trust in him until we started to fuss and now he's chassing me with anger in his body.
Telling me to get back here or I was going die but I knew he was going to anyway and I started to cry.
I run into my room waiting to see if he was going to come but it was silence until I heard a loud boom at the door knowing he was trying to come in.
He come in and we started to fight each other and knew this was going to be the last night I see and I tried to fight back but something happened to me.
He stabbed me and the time was Seven and as I layed down dead I knew my spirit was flowing to Heaven to be in peace for eternity.

Daily Journal

I remember during the summer before the 8th grade, we had we went to Valleyfair because it was hot out and we wanted to have fun before we went back to school. SO what we did was that there was a ride called The Wild Thing. The lately news of the rollercoaster is that it had broke down fo a while because it had fell off the trail of the coaster. But when we got on, it didn't break or do anything and I was happy and not scared of it but still caucious.

Wordle: Untitled

Daily Journal

I hate my life and I hate that I have to live through the pain of suffering when I just want to be in Heaven with God so I won't have to worry about Judgement Day. I really feel that God is trying to show me that if I give my life to him, them things will get better because being a sinner doesn't make my life no better. My sister's friend yelling at me over some tray that could have been done by herself in less than a minute. And the crazy thing about it is that she didn't stick up for me or told her that she was being too harsh on me which I felt like she was misusing me and she never listens to what I have to say and that makes me mad even more. But then it got even worst when I was in my math class and Ms. Hoffman had us pick groups with different instruments to make a band and I felt left out because I didn't know anyone that I could be with and I had to be in an all guys group as the only female. They didn't do anything but play around and I felt like crying but I'm very quiet as a person. That is why I want Amanda for stuff like this and to come back but I know it's too late because one she's gone she is gone. I don't want to live anymore, might committ suicide because I don't mind doing it just to get out of here.

Alitteration In Shakespeare

Cute Cuddly girl that Cries
Having Her wet and Hug Herself
Runs of Ruins in thyself as she Rides
Something Suspicious didn't feel right to her health
Walking through wacky paths but behind a tree she hides.
Blood in her hands and she tried to catch her last Breath
Knowing that her number is pulled as she stares and dies
Because she knew from God that she didn't love herself.

Daily Journal

I remember when I was probably 9 or10 years old and I was very quiet but I always wanted to go somewhere with my family because I hate being in the house. But I was always close with my sisters and my mom since we had problems with our father and I hated it but now I am over it. We moved around a lot and it was very hard to understand why but we had to do what we had to do. The cities we lived in was Bloomington, Eagan, Minneapolis, and Richfield. But it hasn't been easy in the long road but we always tried to do our best.

SENSE OF TIME POEMS

December
December is White
The color of Christmas and Snow
December feels like pretty packed presents
It sounds like Christmas songs and Gospel music.
Smells like Cookies and Candy Canes
December taste like Cupcakes and Birthday Cakes
December is all about Jesus.

Daily Journal

A man/woman walks out into the cold night air. His/her hands are shaking from what just happened…There was a horrible accident on the side of the road where they were walking from. Worried about what is going to happen to the person that jus got hurt. They were foots away from being apart of it themselves. Their names were Melony and Jason that has witnessed the cara crash into the tree. Melony's eyes filled with tears and it starts to come down her face quickly as her husband Jason holds her tightly and lets her know everything is going to be okay. But the scary part about it is that she knew who the person was in the car and it was someone that she wasn't having a good relationship with... Her mother. They have been arguing everytime they try to work things out and it hasn't gotten them anywhere but where they are today, apart. She thinks in her head how much she wish she had more time with her but it's too late, because she was gone.

Too Short

Free Writing

I had just got yelled at and I have been unhappy about myself. I might run away and never come back to Eastview. I should just drop out since my mom wants me to take care of my own. My boyfriend and my only true love Poly cried because of me. I hate me. what is wrong with "me"? I don't know what to do. I ask God why does he have me stay on earth when I have done nothing but caused trouble in everyone's life including mine. Poly should just go out with someone else because I am a hot mess mentally, phsyically and emotionally. Then my mom should have aborted me when she was pregnant with me. I feel like my number might be pulled in any minute. I would write more but I feel that I can't trust anyone :(

Cinquain Poem

My God
Loves me always
No matter what I do
and I am glad there is a God just
for me

Daily Journal

I wake up and try to take a deep breath, but the deeper the breath the more severe the pain. The ground is hard beneath my back, and I feel a dull pain in my arm… I can't tell what it is and I am worried that it might kill me. But all I know is that I got to get up from this place where ever I may be. I have to get out of here and I realized that I have been trapped in a black hole and I can't get out. It's a far distance from the earth ground above me and there are stick figures I see looking down at me but my eyes get blurry and I don't know if they realized that I am stuck in the hole. I tried to call for help but no one answered me. I was going to be stuck here forever.

Sleep & Heaven

Sleep.
Heaven.
Sleep is the best time of the day
You can be in this position for as long as you want
Dreams come into your head
But no one can interupt you unless you have them
Sleep is another word for Heaven
But Heaven is a better place to be in
You see a new and better version of the Earth
But the best thing is that God is visible to you
These places can not do anything but make you happy
Addicted but you fall in love
Sleep can have think of things that you never think of
While Heaven has you experience your life in a better and you are alive.
No one can't take that away from you.
It's the best gift in life.

Best Friend, Family, Boyfriend - Happiest Things In My Life

Her name was Amanda Johnstad and ever since I came to Eastview , the friends that i was cool with in middle school didn't really talk to me and I felt left out all the time when it came down to being social. But ever snice I met Amanda, she was so sweet but crazy at the same time and she accepted me for who I was. I invited her to my 16th birthday party and it was very fun because my other Godsister Britney Hayes was there as well and I was glad to have them both here with me. But after Amanda passed away on the 1st of April, I got wost abouit myself and then i didn't believe in friends that much after her death. But last year I got over it and I still miss the person that I needed in my life.

But there is a guy Name Poly that I had met a week ago and he is such a nice guy and I am happy to meet him. Two days ago, I invited him to my church and it was very fun. But yesterday I wanted us to have a good date for Valentine's Day and we went to the Apple Valley movie theater and it was super fun and his brother Jackson came with us. He is 18 just like me and his birthday is Oct. 28 which is 14 days after my older sister Trisha's birthday. I really believe that we were meant to be after all and he is such a beautiful guy that I have met and no matter what people say about us, I will still always love him just how he loves me. Thank you God for him because without him, I would have been an unhappy person for my whole life.

My family and my mother is my best friend as well even though we are family but it doesn't matter. We are starting to get along more and understand each other more which is a good thing. But thank to the Lord that he gave me this crazy family that i really love and I am so glad that they are my bestfriends because they don't tell anyone my business and I do the same thing to them. My mom Pat, my sisters Diamond and Trisha are the best things that God has gave me and I don't want them to leave no time soon as well. I love you guys :)

God, I know you have Taken Amanda from me and I really don't want my boyfriend to be taken away from me no time soon. He is the person that has some actions of Amanda that I really honor from him. Thank you God for the family that you have gaven me and I am happy for them as well. But other than that, RIP Amanda Johnstad and Poly, here is the start of our strong good and blessed relationship :)

Similie Activity

A heart is like a life because it can make it through ups and downs and still be strong at the end.
A light is like God because it shines in our lives.
A job is like homework because it doesn't give you a break and you always end up doing something.
A meal is like money because you could never have too much.
Music is like an order because you can request what you want.

Daily Journal: Out of the dark we came, into the…

Forest where we have been lving in since we had got lost on how to find our home. We came into a light where there was an island and the blue sky water that was making small waves by the shore and it looked so beautiful. But as I look to the left side of me I see a squeal that was sitting by the seashore laying down since it didn't have anything to do. Then I went up to it and I started to pet the squeal afrida that it might be dangerous or that the squeal was in danger itself. But then I left it alone and start to walk to this moutain that looked like a volcano and I went up to the reek of it and it felt like you was about to hit the outer space how close it was to the sky. And then out of the blue a guy was standing there in his culture clothes playing a trumpet that was a good song for me to hear. But I felt a little crafty afterwards and didn't feel like leaving the view of the whole world.

There once was a guy name Paul
We met on iMesh and he gave me a call
Now he is my friend
Which might become my boyfriend
I am happy to meet him because we can't let our relationship fall

Bucket List

Meet as many celebrities as I can that I love very much
Write a book that can turn into a movie
My true love to come
For me to have my life given to God full term
Start to eat healthy and have nice a body shape figure
Have more love for people in my family and peers and strangers
Fly a plane without being in fear
Go to different places around the world
Become a famous singer
Live life to the fullest
and many more to come...

Daily Journal: Best Place In The World

A couple of months ago I went on a trip with Multicultural Achievers going to Chicago, and Wisconsin, and Duluth. The first place we went to was Chicago and they had everything you can imagine out there. All the restaurants, the famous sports companies, malls, clothing stores, hotels, you name it and its there. It was so beautiful at night when it gets dark and the buildings are next to each other with nothing but lights that you can see from them. It felt like you was in a movie that was going to be shown to the world. Oh my goodness it was amazing and I didn't want to leave no time soon, because I felt like it was my home that I needed to come back to, since I am from Chicago. Then our next stop was Madison, Stout and Milwaukee of Wisconsin. We got to see so many colleges there and they have a really good campus for us to look at and a lot of buildings that looked old, but Stout was the most boring place I ever been to. It felt like you was in a dessert by yourself and you couldn’t do anything about it. But I was really in love with Madison, because of the food and clothing stores they had to offer us and the respect they gave to people when you meet them. Duluth had such an amazing view especially the long bridge that you went across to go to enter Wisconsin before you get out of Duluth. But was amazed me was how the houses were sitting on a hill made me feel like I was in Italy. Then we went to Lake Superior and we saw many bird flying thinking they was going to drop their poop on us or even try to attack us. The water looked so beautiful and the things you could see from a long distance made it look like we were totally in Italy. I felt blessed to be able to go see these types of things when I only traveled to go see my family in Chicago or pass through Wisconsin. For me to see the beautiful side of Chicago and Wisconsin and I wouldn’t mind going back there.

Thank You Note

I want to say thank you to mostly my mom and Julian and to the people that God gave me in my life that has cared about me because without them I would not be where I am and I probably would have gave up a long time ago. My mom brought me into this world when she could have gotten an abortion, then she took care of me by herself and no father in my life. I know that must be hard taking care of kids when you doing this by yourself. Then we have given her heartache, stress, and no love at times towards her and I fell bad for the things I have done to her that she might have not wanted me anymore or might have even hated me at times. I am thankful for the things that she able to do to me now, i feel like I am rich with all the clothes in my closet that they all can't even fit. Even the shoes that I have and the food that I have. To Julian, he is so funny and I am glad he is my Eastview Steppers coach, he is very sweet and does care about me. He feels like a somewhat father to me that I needed in my life when I was younger. Julian, please don't leave my life no time soon and my mother as well. To my friends, thank you so much for things you have done for me and has helped me through depression and when I was down.

Daily Journal

You are walking down the street and out runs a zebra, you hear a roar and then out strolls a lion. It turns and looks your way… and my heart start to beat real fast while the stares at each other gets harder and harder. My feet are stuck to the ground not knowing if I should leave or if I should stay to see the lion's reaction. The lion licks his mouth and then he slowly walks in my direction and my body wants to faint but my spirit is staying still inside of me. It gets closer, and closer, and closer and then I realize that my life might be taken away from me. I had no choice but to run and I ran as fast as I can away from the lion ; looking back to see if it's chasing but it’s nowhere in sight.
Until I fell on the ground and I slowly lean up and realize I have blood coming from my mouth and nose. But then I stand up to my feet and then lion jumps out into the street right in front of me. My body starts to shiver of fear and the animal sees my pain that I have been injured. Tears rolling down my eyes and I try to back up from the animal but make a roaring sound and I know it’s telling me not to move. The lion keeps on walking towards my body and he gives a stare that I have never seen before.
Then a shocking moment came when he rubs his head on my arm letting me know that he wants me to rub him and play with him. Then he lays on the street on his back for his rub his tummy and I do what he wants me to do. I realize that the lion was lonely and wanted someone to play with.
"Netta!" Is all I hear from a person and then the animal gets up and runs into the woods back to his home where his family is. While my mom sees where I am, they run towards me and hug me very tightly because I have been missing for days.
 "Netta don't you ever leave us anymore you understand me?"
 "Yes ma'am."
While hugging my mother very tightly, I look over her shoulder and see that the lion his hiding behind a tree giving me the most beautiful look ever and I realize that he was the best friend that I could have ever asked for. Then he ran off even further until I couldn't see him anymore.

10 Years From Now...

I woke up from a nice song playing as my alarm to wake me up 8 in the morning. I smile to see my husband still sound asleep and I give him a kiss on the cheek. He moves a little bit but is still sleeping before he has to wake up and get ready for his job. I go into the kitchen and cook us both some really good breakfast. Whichh includes egss, pankcakes, buscuits, sausages, toasts, oatmeal. With some orange juice, apple juice and milk already set on the table. When the food is done I set the different foods onto a separate plate for him to eat and get to work on time. My husband comes down and gives me a kiss and tells me thank you that I am a good wife that he has and sits down to eat his breakfast with me. After we finish we both walk in the driveway towards our own car. He has the Yukon new model while I have the new model of the Cadillac Escalade. I work as a Forensic Scientist and he works as an Engineer or something that he does for a living. We call each other during our breaks and hang out together for lunch and then go back to work. Aftter work is over for the both of us, we get home and take a shower, and then we eat dinner at the house and we go to sleep for another day of routine.

ODE TO HAPPINESS

You bring me the light to my soul when you come into my life
Blessing follow right along with you
Confidence has came into my mind
Motivates me to do better and not give up
I love you so much and I would hate for you to leave me
Without you I would have been in fear of myself
I believed that anger was the permanent mark of my soul
Until I realized that there is a real gift of happiness.
Please don't leave me no time soon
If I had no happiness where would my life end up
I would have been a miserable person until the day I die
But I didn't give up on trying to recieve the life of happiness
Thank you so much for finally breaking through into me
Because I have no doubt that you will not be apart of me.

Most Embaressing Moment

I don't remember any embaressing moments, I just remember all the funny times that I have with my family and it can be about anything. We all have different ways to make each other laugh when we are together doing family bonding at home or going out. My sister Diamond makes us laugh when she brings up funny parts of a movie and she intimidates it, or she will make fun of a person and make up a song about them. Then my oldest sister Trisha will amek us laugh when she is mean and acts up in her crazy ways just to get attention and she is overdramatic with herself so it makes us laugh all the time. Then my mom can makes us laugh when she talks about us for fun or even herself or people at her job or people she meets while she is working or delivering mail. Then I make people laugh just by being myself and seeing thnigs that doesn't make sense or i can just make people laugh by the expression I give people on my face when people say dumb things all the time. I love when we are able to get together through good or bad times and we are able to laugh and have a good time even though we are very different in our own way and that is what makes me love my family even more.
