For Anne's Sake (read this blog)

This poem is a nonet. It has nine lines and the first line has nine syllables, the second has eight syllables, and so on. Beach a cerulean horizon and glitter spouting from the sun's rays foamy waves breaking nearby boats drifting off to sea sand between my toes marshmallow clouds spotted shell fishhook sea

I really enjoyed reading Vincent and Theo: The Van Gogh Brothers written   by Deborah Heiligman. It was very interesting and easy to understand and read. This book is about the life of Vincent and Theo Van Gogh. Theo supported Vincent most of his adult life. Vincent would not have become the painter we now know without Theo. Although their stories had a tragic ending, it was so fascinating to read about them. This is a YA book, but it is good for all. I definitely would recommend this to someone who loves art. Here are some things I liked (+) and disliked (-) about this book: +Very interesting + The author's formant and use of pictures was original and so lovely + I learned a lot - I sometimes got mixed up with the different characters, but I think that this was mostly my fault - Sad ending - A bit long (409 pages) Overall rating:**** (4/5 stars)

I have been trying to write more poetry. My friend has been writing and posting poetry on her blog (you can see it here.  ) and my family has been sharing poems with each other everyday. I have decided to post some of the poems that I have written. I am not the best and I am still learning, so bear with me. House parlor, kitchen, flight of stairs doorknobs, toilets, dining room chairs ceiling fans and sliding glass door living room with hard wood floor our possessions liven up the place legos, paintings, flowers in a vase through the house our pup will roam a house with us is now a home

I love the way blurry pictures look. I actually don't mind when I snap a picture and it turns out blurry. I think it has to do with being imperfect and real. On social media, we see so many.... distorted pictures. People look perfectly fit and happy and life looks so clean and organized. It makes me feel almost suffocated to look at these "perfect" people. Just remember, people are dumb (myself included) and we do dumb stuff like judge ourselves and others.
