To Do Something Special (age 10)

I want to do something special this year, or even 20 years from now.  I want to stand out sometime.  That may be the reason I’ve decided to become a doctor when I’m grown.  Most kids think that’s stupid, even you may be thinking that too as you read this.  But, I want to help.  Anything!  I can help clean up my neighborhood, wash away mean words written on walls, so no one has to be reminded of the hate that lingers in this world.  I’m getting off point.  Anyway, I want to help the class community, or help raise money for starving people.  I want to become more active in peacemaking, and helping people make the right choices.  I want to help save endangered species.  I want to discover the cure for cancer, and save lives.  I just hope I get the chance.

Writing Poem (age 8)

Writing poem,
Writing poem,
how I wish I had a writing poem,
to tell me what to write.
There must be,
a writing poem, somewhere,
telling people
what to write.
Oh writing poem
writing poem
how I wish I had a
writing poem,
to tell me
what to write.

Silly Expressions (age 11)

1. “A watched pot never boils.”  Now that is stupid.  The water in the pot will eventually boil no matter what.

2. “Go fly a kite.”  Where do you get the kite?  What if you don’t know how?>  Plus kite flying is something that is fun to do!  If you’re mad at someone, don’t suggest that they do something fun!

3. “Children should be seen and not heard.”  If children were seen and not heard, how would they ask if they were old enough to talk.  Besides, what if they cough?  Anyway, those are 3 very silly expressions.
