I AM A PORCUPINE I am a porcupine which most people are afraid of. Once I almost got ran over by a car but I was so short so the car ran right over me but I was not hurt. Some people try touch me but they are too scared. One day there was man, somebody else called him Jonathan Mayhew and a little girl behind him that looked Chinese. He lost his balance and landed on me and on his chin were some of my spikes. That also happened to my ancestors one of them ran into somebody named John Muir. He did not shave and more grew but more soft. That happens all the time and I hate it. Oh no! That guy is losing his balance. Not again, OW. Thursday, December 30, 2004
HOW HOT CHOCOLATE WAS INVENTED Hundreds of years ago there was no hot chocolate, one day somebody was eating chocolate with hot water he dropped the chocolate in the water and did not even notice,he shook the water so it would cool down and started to drink and it tasted like chocolate he called it hot chocolate and we still have hot chocolate! PLANET LOCUDA I sit at my desk doing homework, What is five to the seventh power or three to the fifth power, I asked myself, but all of a sudden a telescope appeared and I decided to have a quick glance, I peered in and WOW! There were big sky- scrapers everywhere and unusual creatures, they looked like animals from the future, for some wierd reason everything was floating in the air exept the buildings,the clothes were totally wierd! There was an ocean, people were surfing on boards but there was a paddle with their boards, the airplanes were much more small and there were new flavors of ice cream, yikes, I turned the telescope accidentally and there was a different city in planet Locuda I would call it! There were supposed to be horrible monsters everywhere. People dressed in the same clothes while running. Some people held sticks (looked like wands) and robes with a hat shaped as the trash can we have in our house with fancy string on it. Lights were coming out of their sticks like lightening zapping the monsters, oops. I turned the telescope again. There was a big computer, people were jumping on it. I would call this city the technology center. Mini robots looked like a mailman. It would stop by people and hand a package to them and go to another person. Each letter on the colossal computer looked like an office for a person. The weird people with sticks and a robe would appear and jump into a letter or button on the computer. "Julia! Julia! Julia! Finish your math homework," my Mom yelled, and all of a sudden the telescope disappeared and back to my boring homework. Monday, December 20, 2004
THE ASCENDING DANCE! In Boulder, there is a danced called the ascending mountain dance All what you have to do is put on your ropes, you have to do this dance. You have to get ready to climb. There is a helicopter beneath you if you are not an expert. Hop with one foot while your other foot is scratching your itch on your head while arms are by your side and do a flip in the same position and shake your body like the whole ocean is in your body then the foot you are not hopping on and do your hair. One of your arms will untie the rope and untwist your body so you will land on the helicopter. I warned you that only experts should do this dance! Now I have to call the hospital. TIGERS Tigers jumping up and down tigers chasing butterflies tigers growling at me tigers doing a backflip tigers helping the sick tigers eating chocolate cooks tigers deciding what outfit to wear tigers tucking their cubs into bed tigers doing a crossword puzzle like my dad tigers teaching poetry tigers are going crazy tigers are gaping over the world tigers blowing in a trumpet tigers just learned to ride a bike tigers chasing their tails tigers smoking a lot tigers getting revenge on evil glimpses tigers watching their favorite tv show tigers blowing away the sun so they can sleep!

LETTERS EVERYWHERE J is orange, U is black, L is blue, I is brown and A is red. J is when you are in the car and when you look in the sky the clouds look orange and the fire which seems like the dragon's flames right above my head! U and L is when you see the blue sky when a panther is behind a bush ready to pounce or a crow and the ocean and it is a leopard shark with black spots and I swim ashore and find my dad's black coat. I is when I am in a ship with brown wood and I see a a storm and the clouds are brown when I fall in a puddle of mud and the captain is drinking coffee A is when you are angry your cheeks turn red like the blood of a warrior who had a red shiny shield the color of lipstick. J, U, L, I, and A is when you see the flames of the dragon and the black panther under the blue sky on a ship and the warrior holds up his red shield to defend himself from the panther and all those together are the colors of letters and the world. HOW DRAGONS GOT THEIR FLAMES Once upon a time dragons had no flames but one day a whole army of dragons were attacking people. They all charged gulp and they all swallowed a bomb and there was fire in their body and their bodies were so hot the fire never went out and whenever they blow really hard there is a flame.

IN THE PLANE I am in a plane If I could only meet Mark Twain He is dead, but the grass is still green If I could see Louis Braille He is dead, but I cannot fly like a bird If I could only run You will see how fast I run But I am in a boring plane I don't see a single bird And no book to read about Mark Twain Or a journal to write poems about Louis Braille And I can't write about the color green My journal was green I can not run To see Louis Braille But all I can do is sit on a plane With not a single book by Mark Twain I want to be a bird Oh, there is one bird And there is a guy with his hair dyed green He is not like Mark Twain That guy is about to run All round the plane Wait he isn't, I must be blind like Louis Braille If only I saw Louis Braille One thing bad about being a bird Is when you crash into a plane There's nothing green I just need to run And get exercise like Mark Twain Plane is where I am and I can't see Mark Twain Green the grass is and no Louis Braille Bird is what I see, if only I could run Friday, December 03, 2004
HOW MY DAD GOT HIS BEARD My dad got his spiky beard because he ran into a porcupine some of the bristles got stuck in his chin and now whenver he shaves the bristles grow back on his chin Wednesday, December 01, 2004
I AM A CROW I am a crow, there is this person who seems to talk to me. First he called me lopsided, but then he called me bold heart. I was so happy I did a flip in the air, OUCH! I am missing my left claw, it hurts a lot. A dragon bit it off, well, I think this boy is a skald (bard). I follow him. He is on a quest and doesn't want me to come. Humph, I am very brave. Why do you think I'm called bold heart? Well, this boy is here, yikes! I shouldn't have come, there's a Jotun and a troll right in front of me. Flap, flap flap! Explanation: I have read a book called "The Sea of Trolls." A skald is another way of saying bard in Northmen language. A Jotun is a creature who freezes people to death and are very deadly, and trolls are just as dangerous. Jack is the name of the person and the crow is a character who is Jack's companion on his quest. |
