Haiku

Leaves crunch under my feet
Hear the cars come as i run
I soon see cars. Home.

The Gypsie

Once there was a Gypsy who lived in the middle of the desert and only had a little bit of experience with happiness and practicing magic in her crystal ball that was emerald colored. Every night she had a dream about god who was successfully showing her to her personal legend that was in the pyramids of Egypt that held a secret treasure. according to what she was shown this treasure would make her rich! Her city was running very low on oil for things and people were becoming very sick and dyeing because of it. the gypsy decided to take a long journey to the pyramids of Egypt to find her treasure. she walked for twelve days and twelve nights before she came upon this big giant... triangle. now this Gypsy had never seen a pyramid before so she did not know what it was, much less what they looked like. the Gypsy stared at this strange building for a long time. she finally decided she would go inside and ask where the pyramids were. the gypsy walked around the pyramid for a long time looking for the entrance before a man with a strange electronic devise in his hand came up to her and asked her what she was looking for. the man laughed and said " these are the pyramids of Egypt! they has no entrance!" then the strange device in his had started to buzz. the man oped it up and talked to it! he said, "hello? oh! I'm sorry! I'm at the pyramids of Egypt. turns out they're only a two hour walk away from where our plane crashed!" the man kept talking so the gypsy moved on. now that she knows where the pyramids are she must find her treasure. she asked a man if he knew and he said that there is a legend that there is treasure right where she was standing. so the gypsy waited for all the people to leave and started to dig. she soon hit oil! just what her village needed! she gather all the oil and went home. when she got back she realized that more people had come from a plane crash only a few hours north. she met a man who been in that plane crash and as soon as their eyes met she knew she loved him. they ended up marriedwith 2 kids and lived happily ever after, and for thousands of generations after her death, anyone that was realated to this gypsy in some way became famously rich one way or another.
                                                                 THE END!

I Am A Totally Awesome Person

 I am a totally awesome 7th grade girl.
I wonder what I am going to do next?
I hear the soft sound of the crashing waves along the the shore.
I see the fog as it rolls overhead.
I want all wars to end NOW!
I am a totally awesome 7th grade girl.

I pretend that my best friends are my older and younger sisters.
I feel the hard wood of the pencil I'm holding.
I touch the rough round surface of a volleyball.
I worry about me half dead dog.
I cry for my dead pets.
I am a totally awesome 7th grade girl.

I understand that i cant help everyone
I say, 'all's fair in love and war.'
I dream about how I will travel the world.
I try to take more responsibility for my self.
I hope I'll improve my grades.
I am a totally awesome 7th grade girl.

my best memory this summer

My best summer memory was the second day of Zoe's yard/bake sale.
I spent the night knowing that I was going to help bake cupcakes, brownies, and cookies for Zoe's bake sale the next morning. The scent of freshly baked treats filled the room as we cooked. We made them one at a time. Zoe's mom started the cookies, while Zoe made the delicious vanilla  cupcakes, and I made the chocolate brownies. It didn't take very long and soon all we had to do was sit and wait for morning to come. That night we all slept real well, so in the morning we were all rested and ready to set up for the bake/yard sale. While Zoe's mom set up a line that we could hang the clothes on, Zoe and I walked through the freezing wind as it hit our faces and started taping up signs everywhere. By the time we got back all we had to do was set up the book/ toy table and the bake sale. We didn't put the baked goods out until the very last minute because the air felt damp, and the blue sky was gray with rain clouds that looked like they would drop rain any second. fortunately, they never did, so Zoe and I kept selling and by the end of the day, we successfully sold a lot of treats and a few things from the yard sale.
