Thursday, Octorber 16- Rain

  Rain 

      I love rain. I love to stay at home, relaxed, with a warm cup of coffee and a movie listening to the pitter patter of rain drops falling from the sky. The best time for it to rain is at night. Thunderstorms bring the most soothing sound despite their angry front. The sound of the rain drops hitting the roof and the ground is what I would prefer to fall asleep to every night. I actually like the way rain looks as its falling. However, I hate the mud and the nasty smell it leaves. So no, I do not love everything about rain but, it is one of my favorite things.

Wednesday, October 15- I remember when...

     What happened to the children?
             
                             I remember when children were not so dependent on technology
                                          There was a time when children drew,
                                                  used their imagination
                                 There was a time a car ride did not require a tablet
                                         When boredom could be solved with a board game
                             When children would play outside until they could no longer see
                                  They get the technology obsession from their examples......

                                       
                                          Did you know children used to read?
                                                Not the directions in a game
                                                     Not off of a screen
                                                  They read off of pages!
                                                 I remember that time........
                                         

Friday, October 10- Pet Peeve

                    PET PEEVE
                       
                        I hate to hear people chewing their food or scraping their utensils on their teeth/ plate while they are eating. It is disgusting and I have to leave the room. I get very angry. The sound is the nastiest thing I have ever heard. So please, eat politely. and quietly.

Tuesday, October 7- The Flip Side

                                          Removed

                          Them:   That girl is not responsible
                                        She's only fifteen
                                 How can we trust her with children?
                                       The girl is just a teen
                            She doesn't care about the children or the church
                                     So she is no longer invited
                                  to take part in teaching our children
                                    Let's relieve her of her position
                                        I bet she is excited

                            Me:  Oh how I care for the kids I teach
                                         I don't want to go
                                     The parents are infuriated
                                 The church's decision is causing a show
                                        No, I'm not eighteen
                                    but does that really matter?
                           My class on Sunday never even caused a clatter
                                   Now I have to leave my kids that I teach
                                     I am far from excited
                           The very people who encouraged me to serve
                                    proclaimed me uninvited
                                   
                                    
                                      

Monday, October 6- Persona Poem

                                                                                      Cara
                                                                   I wake up for another day of work
                                                                         I don't even consider my work "work"
                    It is more a hobby that I get paid for
                           The makeup is put on
                        The eyebrows are groomed
                                      I wear Chanel
                                              I walk
                              Interviews are taken
                                      so are pictures
                            The makeup is taken off
                                             I sleep
                                      until tomorrow

Thursday, October 2- The Frog Prince

                                           The Witch and The Frog Prince                 

                 One day a prince was walking along the bank of a river when he stumbled across a beautiful girl who was so beautiful she had to be a princess. She had black hair and pale skin with piercing blue eyes. She kept throwing a golden ball in the air. All of the sudden the ball slipped out of her hand and rolled toward the prince. He picked it up and quickly devised a plan. "Is this your ball princess?" he asked. The girl looked at him and said, "Yes,  thank you for retrieving it for me." She held out a hand but he did not give back the golden ball. The prince saw she was confused and smiled as he said, "If you want your ball back, you must promise to marry me. I have been searching for a princess like you." The girl tried to snatch the ball from him but he held it back. So, she agreed to marry him. They went back to his castle and on that day they had their wedding. "You may kiss your bride!" The priest says to the prince. The prince and the girl kissed. The prince  fell to the ground. His skin turned green and his hands became webbed. His body shrunk until the prince was no longer there; only a nasty green frog was left. The girl retrieved the golden ball from the pocket of his coat which was now discarded on the ground. "I am not in fact a princess, I am a witch," she looked at the prince with her icy blue eyes, "You should really stop assuming things. Now, because you refused to give my golden ball back to me I have cursed you with my kiss. The curse can only be reversed if you convince another girl to marry you . Have a great new life." The witch threw her golden ball in the air and disappeared with a flash. The slimy green frog prince hopped off, terrified.
