Poem #2
The think that I want is to go to any college I want and get a good education, to have fun and to have a bright future after college. I would have to do a lot of things to accomplish that but I think it can and will be done.
To get into any college I want I will have to do a lot of things. One big thing is that I need to have good grades, not like a couple Bs or Cs but As with maybe one B. That us a big part that the colleges look at and semester and final exams. But to do this I will need to study, not get carried away with phones or friends but I mean hanging out with friends is alright. It is a way to take a break from school work. Some other things is that I need to ask for help if I need or even if I don't need it. Because this first year of high school I never really did know how much teachers helped like at tutorial. At my old school you just go to class,take some notes, a small lecture, and later that day you couldn't go back for help because we had no time during school. So I learned that the hard way. Now they are a huge help to me. And hopefully if I do all of this I will get into any college I apply to.

Hurricane Poem
Hurricanes by Landon Foster
Devastating creatures of gods creation
that last for days with endless rain.
Turning lightness into darkness
The rain will never stop coming down
like cats and dogs.
As it drowns the soft, sweet grass.
The king of winds roaring and howling
commanding trees to bow down to its almighty power
The giant whirl spin consuming large areas of land.
Destroying everything in its path
leaving nothing but.
Trash.
Flooded houses and buildings.
Up rooted trees.
What more does this beast have to offer?
Devastating creatures of gods creation
that last for days with endless rain.
Turning lightness into darkness
The rain will never stop coming down
like cats and dogs.
As it drowns the soft, sweet grass.
The king of winds roaring and howling
commanding trees to bow down to its almighty power
The giant whirl spin consuming large areas of land.
Destroying everything in its path
leaving nothing but.
Trash.
Flooded houses and buildings.
Up rooted trees.
What more does this beast have to offer?

This book I am reading Fail Safe is historical fiction about American bombers go off course pass the fail safe zone and into Russian territory and one man a Russian translator has the fate of the world in his hands, which in that case if that was me I would be so scared.
The book so far has not been exciting, it is just putting all the characters into the book, telling who they are, what they do for the government, there personality and the cool thing is that at the end of every chapter there is always alittle foreshadowing on what will happen in the next chapter.

Song
"Ring around the rosy A pocketful of posies "Ashes, Ashes" We all fall down." today is a children song. That all the kids today sing and love. But it has a connection with the Bubonic Plague. The plague's symptoms gave a person a rosy red rash in the shape of a ring hints "Ring around the rosy" and they thought that carrying flowers and nice smelling herbs known as posies in pockets hint "A pocketful of posies" But the ashes ashes part was originally "A-tishoo, A-tishoo" due to the deadly sneezing. The English version "Ashes, Ashes" refers to the burning of infected, dead bodies.
The first two verses of the song are iambic trimeter "Ring around the rosy A pocketful of posies" and the verse "Ashes, Ashes" is a iambic dimeter and the last verse "We all fall down" is a trochee dimeter. In the song there are some consonance like Ring aRound the Rosy and A Pocketful of Posies and "We ALL fALL down"
