Not a Bear

Author's Note: I really wasn't sure what to write about and I asked a friend. She gave me this idea, so that is what I wrote about. This poem is a cinquain.








Koala
Cute, fuzzy
Climbing, eating, cuddling
Not a bear

It Could Take Forever

Author's Note: This piece was inspired by a quote from Margaret Thatcher. She seemed like a real inspiration and I thought it would be cool to write from a quote of hers.



You may have to fight a battle multiple times before you win it.
~Margaret Thatcher


I had never known anything about Margaret Thatcher until my uncle told me about her. She seemed like quite and inspiration to many people, and especially women. The quote above really says a lot to me because there are many road blocks that might come up in your life. Some larger than others, and you sometimes have to work at something many times before you can actually get it.

Baby, Your a Firework!!!

 Author's Note: Katy Perry is my favorite singer and I think that this song really means something and people should just stop and take a look at what it means to others too.








Firework---Katy Perry

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag (Do you ever feel like people can push you around)
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?(Flying by yourself wishing to start over)
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin(Do you ever feel like you aren’t good enough)
Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?(You are fragile)

Do you ever feel already buried deep?(You have too much on your plate)
Six feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing(You are worthless and nobody cares)
Do you know that there's still a chance for you(There is still something out there for you)
'Cause there's a spark in you? (There is something magical about you)

You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine(Let yourself be free)
Just own the night like the 4th of July (You showed what you could be)

'Cause baby, you're a firework (You’re full of everything and your going to burst)
Come on, show 'em what you're worth (You are worthy to show)
Make 'em go, oh, oh, oh (Make them look at you with surprise)
As you shoot across the sky (You are free flying)

Baby, you're a firework (You are awesome)
Come on, let your colors burst (Let yourself be free and happy)
Make 'em go, oh, oh, oh (Make them look at you with surprise)
You're gonna leave 'em falling down (They will be so stunned)

You don't have to feel like a waste of space (You are worth a lot)
You're original, cannot be replaced (There is something about you and it cannot be taken from you)
If you only knew what the future holds (If you only knew what was there for you)
After a hurricane comes a rainbow (After something goes, something good will come)

Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed (You won’t let things into your life)
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road (Something could open up for you if you let it)
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow (Like something striking, your heart does too)
And when it's time, you'll know (You, yourself will know)

126 Hours

Author's Note: This piece was inspired by a Christmas gift I received. I took the place of it and pretended to feel what it would be like.

On average, I take 126 hours to make. I am very small  and when you are done with me for a little while, I get stuffed in a case. I have a plastic bar and then a silver head and then you press my keys and blow. I am very shrill and you usually get the chills when you play me. If only you knew what it was like to be me. If only you knew......

I make beautiful music. Oh my gosh. I just gave you a clue. I have 9 keys in all. I am mostly made of metal and when I am in the cold my inside sort of freezes. You read notes in order to play me. If you play something wrong, it makes me sound bad. Nobody likes to sound bad, so don’t do it to me. All sorts of people handle me everywhere they go. I can be used for a job or just enjoyment. If you didn’t know, I am a piccolo.

I love my new owner, as she is very gentle. She doesn’t every hurt me and she plays me beautifully. Her parents bought it for her and I was expensive. I left my friends at the music store, in the case they are. I wish I didn’t have to leave them but I guess I just am leading a better life rather than being trapped in a case.
