As Promised...

So in my last post I said that I would be posting a few of my poems to see how people like them, so here it goes...

     The Duck
He sits in the water
Basking in the sun
He flicks off his feathers
Full of water from his fun.

He gives a big quack
As he calls to the others
His sisters, his cousins
His parents and his brothers.

He sees all the big people
Throwing bread along the shore
He eats all that he can get to
And yet he longs for more.

His parents call to him
To return to the nest
He settles down at the end of the day
To enjoy a wonderful rest.

      A Funny Place
I need a place
For just in case
I cannnot escape my thoughts.

Someplace sunny
Where everything's funny
That I can call my own.

    These are just a couple of poems that I wrote recently while in one of my better moods. Enjoy!! This was interesting, and I may keep doing this. Or maybe not, I haven't really decided yet...

Unsure

Today's post is rather random.

I don't have any idea what to say, yet I feel as though I am obliged to say something.

I've been trying to write poetry more often, and today I wrote about a little happy duck and his life with his family.

I just had an inspiration!! It may not be permanent, but for a while at least I will do this.

I think I will post some of my poems, but only the good ones. Yes, I think that's what I will do! Tomorrow all my followers (the 2 that I have) will be able to see one or two of my poems that I haven't posted on facebook.

Blogging

So if you've read the 2 blog posts I've done so far, you might have noticed that they are polar opposites of each other. Well, I have decided my posts are going to match whatever my mood is. My first post was ver sentimental and peaceful because thats how i was feeling when I wrote it. The second was just one of my funny/random moods that I sometimes have.

Before I post more things, I should probably tell you more about myself. I am 16 years old and I live in Dubyuar(not a real place, but for safety I won't give any actual info). My name is Emily(also fake). I am in marching band and play the saxophone. My hobbies are listening to music, solving Rubik's cubes, and writing poetry. Poetry is rather relaxing and my friends tell me I have talent in writing it(which I still have great difficulty believing).

I think that's basically all I have to say, so I will post when I have something else.

Observation of the Day

While going to my small group yesterday, I saw as we were headed there in the car a very peculiar site.

In the car next to me were two women. The woman in the passenger seat was of no importance but the driver caught my eye.

For on her arm was a large white cockatoo!

My first thought was that this was not safe at all.

My second was,"Holy crap! Why does that lady have a bird on her arm?!"

It was a most peculiar site indeed...

Just the Other Day

Just the other day I was riding a charter bus in West Virginia on the way home from a long and exhausting journey. It was early and the sun was rising slightly in the distance, coming up from behind the mountains.

I sat there, ipod in hand, listening to music while the rest of the bus slept peacefully away.

As I stared out the window into the sleepy morning, I came to realize the beuty of the world.

Everything the rising sun touched made it more beautiful then before.

Even as the view was occasionally interrupted by telephone poles and roads, I realized that the world is nothing but beautiful. And I was more at peace then I had ever been in my life.
