Shakespearean Sonnet

A tiny piece of the setting sun;
Often revealing the hidden way;
Each one is one in a million;
Useless in the light of day;
A little reflection in your eye;
Many colors like orange and red;
Behind the meaning of secrets and lies;
Their crimson rays play with my head;
Sowed vindication in my mind;
Hiding behind the two faced mask;
Its friendly heat can be so kind;
Enemy of the iron flask;
Saving us from freezing snow;
Here comes rain, time to go.

Limericks

The man in the big ugly hat
was tall and extremely fat.
All of the time
would drink lots of wine
so was stuck and was permanently sat.

There once was a kid who would cry
Just sit and look up at the sky
he found a new dime
and made a new rhyme
Then left his old ways so he could fly.

Grass in a Field

In a windy field
where wind carries all new life.
Grass is wet with dew.

Bears Growing up

Awesome new powers
noses creating ideas
mother bear is free.

Metaphor Poem

Poems are like rivers
which are string and col
winding desires.
Fish dotting “i”’s on the paper,
swim through the lines with new ambition.
Its cooling self
relaxing on a summer day
entice kids to play.
Each one is different
a new adventure,
to be had.

First Line/Last Line

My mother once told me
not to take things
that don’t belong to me,
that all men are created equal,
that it’s only right
to treat others the same.
But people aren’t nice,
people are naturally
evil.
I try to see the good
in war,
in money,
in nature,
and life.
But where does this kindness,
that my mother came to know,
root itself in the world today.
So I walk today,
with me head held high,
clinging to a hidden truth.

Lonely Stars

I wonder if stars get lonely?
I suppose during the day
They probably bet bored
They are infinitely spread out
People find company with seeing them
They are life makers

I am

I am focused and philosophical.
I wonder why people learn best through negative reinforcement.
I hear trees whispering.
I see a thousand angel tears.
I want my own theme music.
I am focused and philosophical.

I pretend to live in slow motion.
I feel my tail tingling.
I touch the face of time.
I worry im not fast enough.
I cry about fallen friends.
I am focused and philosophical.

I understand new movies.
I say love is overrated.
I dream about the future.
I try to run fast.
I hope my friends wont forget me when they leave.
I am focused and philosophical.

comp 11

This is a fascinating little film about an outrageous medical student who wants to become a doctor. It starts out with him in an insane assylum because he tried to commint suicide. He decides to go to medical school to become a doctor and there he finds a few friends and a girls he loves. He breaks all the rules because he believes things should be different and almost gets expelled. This is a movie reveiw that i am doing for a project in comosition 11. I think that they should change the story a little, the music choice was very well selected, and i was left with a captivated feeling after seeing this movie.
The story was very well thought out but i think that it could be changed a little. The idea that Corinne was killed was

Pig Introduction

I chose anatomy and physiology because I am very interested in the human body and how

it works. I am in 4 sports a year and I am interested to see if taking this class

will help me to understand how I can use this information to train better and become

a better athlete. I am a little more interested in the physiology part than the

anatomy part of this class. I would like to become something in the medical field and

this class is very important to get me going in the right direction.

I think that I will be grossed out a little bit by the pig but I think that I will

be able to stand it a little bit better than most people. I will not be looking

forward to the bad smell than anything, but the juices aren’t sounding very nice

either. I have some experiences with dissection. Last year in biology I dissected the

frog, I think that it went well and I was very interested in it. The frog is the most

famous and well known but I think that I am looking forward to the pig more than

anything because it is the most like humans. In 5th grade we also dissected cow lung,

I don’t remember very much and I don’t think that I can take very much information

from that experience and apply it to this one. Also, freshman year we dissected

chickens in the class of small animals. They aren’t very much like humans but we did

find the duodenum, jejunum, and the ileum. Hopefully taking these previous

experiences will help me to do an even better job during this dissection. I don’t

think I will use gloves. Not because I want to but because I don’t have any. It’s not

a big deal to me either, they are disinfected. I don’t know if I would approve of

this as animal rights but they are going to a good cause so I think I could let it

go. The labs, self test, and keeping on track will be the hardest part for me.
