Night

The night reveals the moon,
It seems to float in the sky,
like a balloon,
Slowly drifting by,
All the stars,
Shining bright,
Coloring the sky,
with their light,
And sometimes with a creative mind,
If you search the sky with your eyes ,
A picture will be shown in time,
A constellation is what you'd see,
A constellation of some kind,
Is always revealed when you use your mind,
As the moon starts its descent,
The sun begins to rise,
shining ever so bright,
And the moon says "good bye",
Until the next night.

Facts about me

I like to eat frozen custard,
I'm quite small,
I don't think that I "cut the mustard",
My favorite animals are the colugo, lizard, and panda,
If you knew me well you'd know that I'm quite random,
I like going outside,
And watching thunderstorms,
Any rollercoaster I will ride,
No matter its shape or form,
I like firework displays,
As well as magic tricks,
I remember Billy Mays,
And have built things out of sticks,
I  don't like to wait,
I was born in a different state,
And I wish that people would comment,
Those are a bunch of facts about me,
So could you respect my wish,
And leave a comment please.

Patience

Patience is difficult,
To learn as well as teach,
Learning patience is especially hard for me,
Recently  I ordered something and I still must wait a week,
It attracted all my attention,
The longer I must wait the greater the tension,
Will it work like all the reviews mention,
I just can't wait,
I want it now,
It better not be late,
If only somehow,
I could go to the future and have it now,
Too bad there is no such thing,
Down with my spirits it does bring,
Whenever I have to wait this long.

Summer turns to fall

Summer is drawing to a close,
And fall is beginning,
Beginning with the leaves,
Changing color,
Then blowing away with the breeze,
The heat from the summer,
Is slowly fading,
Into the chill of the night,
The sun seems to shine,
A little less bright,
And at all the stores,
What grows is the line,
As parents and students try to get supplies,
For school in time,
They got new books and met their teachers,
In new clothes as well as sneakers,
Found their locker,
Memorized the combination to the lock,
Spent the next day staring at the clock,
Waiting for school to end.

School turns to summer

School is nearing an end,
And for that day I cannot wait,
After that date,
For 3 months school I wouldn't have to attend,
No more homework no more teachers,
Only sports events and sitting in bleachers,
No more books and no more tests,
Just mosquitoes and other pests,
Summer would be starting,
Me and school would be parting,
I could play video games and stay up late,
Man this summer is going to be great,
I wish the summer would last forever,
But I know the possibility is never,
They say good things come to an end,
If only there was something I could use to extend,
The length of this summer so it never goes,
But there's nothing we can do,
That's something everyone knows,
If only we could,
Make summer forever,
But that would happen never.

Comments 2

Nobody has left me a comment,
I don't know what you think of my writing,
Haven't you read my comments poem,
Your opinions could be good or frightening,
But if you don't comment I won't know'em,
Like I said before,
Please leave a comment,
Do I need to tell you more,
I'm begging on my knees,
Your opinion is all I need,
So what do you say,
Will you leave a comment please?

Nobody is leaving comments. So I made a poem about it, yet no one left me a comment. Its really disappointing that I have to write another poem begging you all to leave a comment. Please leave a comment and don't make me write another poem about you all never leaving comments.

Garbology story

Author's note: we were handed a bag with random stuff in it, then we had to write a story that included all the items in the bag and the story also had to follow one of the modes of literature
By Jacob Kogod & Joe Labs

Austin and his parents were eating dinner when his parents said "We have some thing to tell you," "What is it," Austin asked "We're getting a dog,  your father and I will be going to the pet store tomorrow," his mom continued "You should get to bed, it's getting late." "Okay mom." Austin replied. Austin went upstairs, got the toothpaste, brushed his teeth, then went to bed. The next morning, Austin woke up to his mom making breakfast. When he went downstairs and he saw his mom flipping pancakes with her spatula. After he ate, he went to school. Austin came home to a tiny Chihuahua. "Say hi to your new dog Scruffy," said Austin's mom. "How big is he?" Austin asked "I don't know, let's find out," Austin's dad got out a tape measure and measured the dog. "He is 9 inches tall and 10 inches long," answered his dad. "Can I play with him outside?" Austin asked "Why not," answered his parents. Austin went into the back yard with his dog. He grabbed a stick off the ground and threw it saying "Fetch". Scruffy darted across the yard, going after the stick. The dog took a sharp turn and started heading toward a bunny with a cotton ball tail "No, Scruffy, no!" Austin yelled as the dog chased the bunny into the woods. Austin sadly went inside and told his parents what had happened. They lit a candle so the dog would know which house to come back to, if he ever came back. Austin went up to his room and cried, thinking the dog would, like a balloon when let go, would never come back. The next day, Austin decided to go check the back yard to see if Scruffy had returned. Sadly, he hasn't returned. Austin spent the rest of the day worrying if something had happened to him. Once it started to get dark, an idea had struck Austin. He was going to go look for him. Austin grabbed a battery powered flashlight and set out into the woods. Night was almost upon him, when suddenly he heard something barking at him. When he turned around, Scruffy was there. "Scruffy! I missed you so much," Austin said as he picked up the dog. He went home and told his parents the good news. Scruffy was given a bath and Austin's dad built a fence the next day, so this wouldn't happen a gain. Austin went outside with Scruffy, after the fence was finished, and they finished their game of fetch.
