My New Business Card

A Black Bear.

Black is all around it's body.
Likes meat.
A Black Bear lives in the woods.
Can be very big.
Kind of scary.

Black Bears are simillar to brown bears.
Endagered
A Black Bear eats berries too.
Really cool!

My Little Brother's First Poem

Dogs chase cats.
Cats chase rats.
Rats eat cheese.

The Friendship That Didn’t Work Out

It all started out one summer night when I had nothing to do.
I went on a walk and ran into you. I went one way, you went the other.
I didn’t bother to say sorry, but you said “hello.”
I was about to run, my hair was undone, my shoes weren’t tied and my finger muscles died.
The fear began to grow into a vine.
I said “hi”, you said “bye”. I felt like I could cry, “goodbye” I said.

The grass dried out, they sky turned pitch blue,
everything was different besides for you.
The sun was setting and I was betting, that to tomorrow would be a new day.
The world is a lonely place that everyone has to face.
At first the world was clear, until it turned into a nightmare.
Life is life, you are you.

The evil world is turning black and I’m in the middle.
I shut my eyes and opened them and everything changed,
the grass turned green and the sky faded blue,
but then I realized I was standing right next to you,
with my hair undone and my shoes weren’t tied and my finger muscles died.
Everything is perfect to me.

MORNING GLORY AND THE CRYSTAL DIAMOND

Once there was a girl named Sidney who thought the library was magical. Every day after school she would go to the library and get a book all about adventures. Today she got, Morning Glory and the Crystal Diamond, and it went like this: Once there was a horse named Morning Glory. Morning Glory had two little sisters and one little brother. Their names are Rose, Violet, Thunder and Morning Glory’s big brother Winston. They loved to go exploring together, but then one day Rose and Thunder got in a big fight and tumbled into the bushes. Then they stopped and walked very quiet. Morning Glory was scared. She poked her head in the bushes, but then she walked very slowly. “Winston!” Yelled Violet. “Go!” Winston shouted. Violet ran home as fast as she could.

Winston poked his head in the bushes, “Stay away!” warned Winston. “It could be a trick.” “But it’s so beautiful” Morning Glory said. “I don’t care!” “What is it anyway?” Asked Rose. “It’s a crystal diamond” said Morning Glory! Then Violet came. Behind Violet were mom and dad. They looked at the crystal diamond. “Mom can we keep it?” She looked at dad, “sure” he said “but be careful with it!” or it will break. We took it home and played with it for a while, but then it slipped out of Thunders mouth and crash! It fell into the dark green grass and broke into tiny pieces! All of the sudden thick gray smoke came. After it went away we saw a unicorn! “Hi” said the unicorn. It was only a baby, so we brought the baby unicorn home. We showed it to mom and dad. They said we could keep it!” Ok what should her name be?” “How about Daisy!” “Ok” said mom, our little sister Daisy.
 Sidney thought that book was the best book ever!
