Kite Flying

Me and my family one day went down to ocean shores. It was fun for a few days but then we got kind of bored. For entertainment we went to a kite store to see waht they were selling. There were kites of all sizes. some were big and some were small. Some were colourful and some were dull.( That ryming was not intendid.) So we bought a kite that had to handles and was pretty large. We took it out to the beach and it was fun!!! After a while we got bored and went and bought a bigger one so two people could go at once. Then we got more bored so we bought another large one along wit ha huge one(for only 50 bucks!!!). This huge one had four strings and bigger handles than the other. So if you did a certine motion it would colapse and then you could uncolapse it and would start flying again. For the res of our trip we would just go out to the beach and fly them. Every once in a while the wind would die down so we could only just fly them but when it was strong you could jump of the dunes with it and it would carry you for a few seconds. Now me and my family only fly them up at fort casey. It is very fun.

Intimate Conversation Poem

Dear Taco,
you are the most
amazing creation,
the world has ever,
seen.
Your crunchy shell,
is like the crisp ice
in Antarctica cracking,
in the morning sun,
compliments,
your tender ground beef,
or shredded chicken.
The fresh vegies
go great with the cheddar
cheese.
Oh taco I love you.

Just To Say

Just To Say

Am am sorry
to say that
I robbed a bank.

The money flying
around my head
is like butterfly
in the meadows
of flowers.

I can have
whatever I like.
Including a Dodge Charger
and a Mustang GT.

They are like
bullets coming out
of a gun.

RIddle

I follow you through your life,
breathing down your neck.
I make sorrow,
and fear.
You cant avoid me,
because ill always be there.
Don't even try.

Your Mom
