My other half

We love
We care
about each other

We share
We bare
with each other

We yell
We fight
we get angry at each other

We cry
We hug
we comfort each other

We smile
We laugh
we like to be around each other

We’re best friends
We’re sisters
We are the second half of each other.

Smile

When things go bad, it’s not the end.
You have to keep in mind you always have a friend.
At times it feels you will never be happy again,
but in time things always mend.
So next your feeling blue, put a smile on your face,
because there is nothing else you can do.

Candle

Stare into the flame and get swept away
it feels like your mind begins to stray.
I could stare at a candle all day.
They all smell so different and are so pretty.
When the power goes out there are no worries.
Light a candle and the room will be bright.
Oh we love candles, they are such a delight.

2006-05-11T16:47:00.000-07:00

Storms

Thunder, lighting, rain and snow.
I love to watch them it makes me glow.
It brings such a rush to everyone’s life,
go outside and watch the wind blow.
The storms they excite me and I don’t want them to go.

Spring Time

When the winter ends the flowers begin to bloom,
your so happy that winter is over, it’s such a doom.
You know that spring brings the summer time,
it’s okay to be happy, it’s no crime.
The spring and the summer are so much alike,
they make moods brighter and friends even become tighter.
So when Spring comes next year make sure you give a good cheer
because the winter is over so drink a beer.

Graduation

It comes so quick and oh so fast
When your in highschool you don’t want it to last.
You dread waking up and listening to teachers talk,
all you want to do is get up and walk.
The only good thing about it is having your friends,
at least you have them when the boring day ends.
The day you graduate you realize it’s true
no more highschool, and then you feel blue.
But you have to remember you will always have the memories,
and when times are bad you remember the good ol’ days.

The boy

When I was young I didn’t care about boys.
I loved to just play with my toys.
Then my girls always came first.
Nothing could break us apart, not even the worst.
Then this boy came along,
he stole my heart and I thought it was wrong.
Now we’ve been together for almost three years.
If we ever broke up I would have endless tears.

Home is where the heart is

Joe is the kind of guy who loves his job, stays late at the office to get all of his work done, then goes home reheats the dinner his wife made says goodnight to his three children then sits down to watch TV until he’s ready for bed. On weekends he works on his car and occasionally he plays with his children (not as often as he should though). He enjoys sitting down for dinner with his family but explains to them why he doesn’t get to do that very often. He loves a lot of things but never makes time to do any of them, such as bowling, football, baseball, and wrestling. He doesn’t realize that his two sons love going bowling and watching all of the sports though because he’s never really home. His wife and daughter are very close and enjoy cooking.
One day Joe got all of his work done very early so decided to go home and relax for the rest of the day. His wife, daughter, and two sons were all sitting in the living room cheering. I wonder what they are cheering about he thought to himself. He walked in the living room and his wife was in her chair, and his three children were on the couch. "What are you all doing?" he asked. His wife replied "We’re cheering for the Yankees!" Joe looked surprised, he didn’t know his family’s favorite team was the same as his, he didn’t even know they LIKED baseball! " You guys like baseball?" His sons replied "Yeah dad, we always talk about how we wish you would watch it with us!" This made Joe feel sad that he didn’t even know his family sat together and watched his favorite team play. Then he realized his work is important and his family is more important and he needed to spend more time at home with them. "Everyone, lets make a new family rule," Joe said. " What is that?" they all replied. "Whenever the Yankees are playing I will come home early from work, sit down have dinner as a family and then watch the game." They were all so excited "That sounds like a great idea!" From that day on Joe began spending more and more time with his family each day.

Decisions

Wrong, Right, Never made.
Easy, Hard, In between.
Undeservable, Deservable, Neither.
Pretty much some people are good to make decisions
and others are not.

Dance

Twirling, Spinning, Jumping, Leaping.
Graceful girl just keeps repeating.
She moves her arms and legs so neatly.
Her hands and feet are so elegant.
When I watch her I am in a trance.

The Sea

Blue, Green, this is the way that it is seen.
Cold, and wet is how it feels.
Nasty and Salty is how it tastes.
Fresh and pretty is how it smells.
Jump in the water and swim all around,
ride the waves,
this is so fun on a beautiful day.

Memories

In kindergarten she came up to me,
she said "Want to color?"
I was shy, but I said sure
and after that we were best friends.
Jr. High was great and never ditched each other for a date.
Then highschool came and so did boys,
we promised each other they would never get in the way.
We graduated and shed our tears, we remembered all the great years.
I moved away, we kept in touch.
Then our phone calls got few and few,
finally they were completely through.
We both found boys and it ripped us apart,
which was the promise we made from the start.
No boy would ever do that, but sometimes things change and there is nothing else you can do.
It doesn’t matter now though
we have our memories that
I will never let go.
Best Friend, I love you so.

The Journey

Up the mountain, over the hill.
Into the woods, let wilderness find me.
Watch the sunset, let the darkness surround me.
I keep on walking not knowing what’s around me.
It doesn’t matter though this is my journey.

2006-05-11T16:16:00.000-07:00

The Girl

She is the envy of every girl
when she leaves a room everyone is in a blur.
She will just sit in the wind and let her hair twirl.
She glistens, she shines, she is always on every mans mind.
She is never mean, yet always kind.
Just to remind, this is a girl you will never find.

I wished upon a star
for someone like you,
someone to make me happy when I felt blue.
Thank you for making my wish come true,
without you I don’t know what I would do.

LOVE

Lean on
One and only
Vows
Everything to me
To love someone is to be able to Lean on one another,
think of them as your One and only,
as give your Vows thinking..
"they are Everything to me."

What is a sister?

A sister is someone to lean on,
someone to cry on,
and to lend a helping hand.
Someone to share secrets and giggles with throughout the years,
and sometimes even tears.

Sisters have bonds so tight
nothing can break them apart,
not even a little fight.
A sister is your blood, your family, my sister is my life.

No one can compare to a sister they're best friends and are so much alike.
In other words sisters are the other half of one another, without one,
the other isn't complete.

You

You take away my fears,
And wipe away my tears,
You make me happy when I'm sad,
You make the world seem not so bad,
You make me think,
You help me to try,
You make me wonder,
You make me laugh,
You make my life better,
It's as simple as that.

You smiled at me and touched my heart.
I knew right then, we'd never be apart.
We walked and talked and realized we were the same.
I knew right then, someday I'd share your last name.
You're the closest to perfection I've ever known,
and I want to thank-you for the love you've shown.
I love you so much and always will
You fixed the hole in my life I needed to fill.
Anything and everything for you I'd do.
Oh, my love, how I need you!
Your loving embrace and gentle kiss
Fills my soul with erotic bliss.
Your compassionate heart and caring soul
Flourishes our love and helps it grow.
You are my lover, my confidant, and forever friend.
With all my heart, I choose you to the end.

A friend is like a flower,
a rose to be exact,
Or maybe like a brand new gate
that never comes unlatched.
A friend is like an owl,both beautiful and wise.
Or perhaps a friend is like a ghost,
whose spirit never dies.
A friend is like a heart that goes
strong until the end.
Where would we be in this world
if we didn't have a friend.

Why God Made Friends
Unknown

God made the world with a heart full of love,
Then He looked down from Heaven above,

And saw that we all need a helping hand,
Someone to share with, who'll understand.

He made special people to see us through
The glad times and the sad times, too;

A person on whom we can always depend,
Someone we can call a friend.

God made friends so we'll carry a part
Of His perfect love in all our hearts.

My other half
By:Katie Romeo

Six years apart, but so much alike.
At first we argued over everything,
we hated each other but I couldn't understand why.
I would always make her cry, then it started to make me feel like I wanted to die.
Years later we began to talk, laugh, and enjoy each others company.
I didn't hang out with her because I had to anymore, I did it because I wanted to.
It would put the biggest smile on her face, like she won some sort of race.
We became closer everyday, there isn't anything we don't know about one another.
And the reason for that is because..
she's my best friend, my sister, but most importantly.. she's my other half.

So much to lose
By:Katie Romeo

He looked in her big blue eyes and said I love you
She knew that this was true,
but she didn't know if she really loved him too.
He was ready to say their vows and say I do.
But her she didn't have a clue.
When they were young they were stuck to each otherside, like glue.
But somewhere along the way her heart began to stray
and she fell for a guy that always brightened her day.
He said, leave him, I'm here to stay
but she was so confused she didn't know what to say.
What do you do when you have two loves so true?
She never wanted to make either blue.
But one day she will have to choose,
and put an end to her wonderful dream cruise
until then she has so much to lose.

2006-04-23T12:10:00.000-07:00

Thinking of you

When the day ends
I lay in bed I think of
nothing but You.
I see your face,
your smooth skin when it rubs
againsted mine,
the kiss of you lips makes
my mind go wild.
I know every cruve in you body
the every move you make
the every sound of your laugh.
what can I say I'm in Love with you.

Big Band, Slow Dance

Were you close? Im asked, as if grief
Would sting less deeply were we friends
As well as son and father. Further apart
Two men could never meet, though blood bends

Through arteries, veins and capillaries
Summoned into Presence by his pleasure.
On that I could have grown more slowly -
Remember being held, and cradled like treasure.

ROSES

You love the roses - so do I. I wish
The sky would rain down roses, as they rain
From off the shaken bush.
Why will it not?
Then all the valley would be pink and white
And soft to tread on.
They would fall as light
As feathers, smelling sweet; and it would be
Like sleeping and like waking, all at once!

Summer Sunset
By: Kim

Still
And soft
Fades the day.
Painting the path
Of a red stairway.
Hues mingle in the sky,
A glorious tribute to
Every tear ever shed in joy.
Content with life in every respect
The dimming sight of the sleepy sunset

Memories

They left us their paw prints we no longer see,
their happiness still in our minds.
They left us fond memories to you and to me,
their friendship will last all of time.
They left us their shadows grow dimmer to fade,
but never forgotten we'll see.
They left us their photos to gaze at each day,
to brighten us up when we're down.
They left us their feelings their purrs and their meows,
that echo around empty rooms.
They left us those moments to think of and smile,
of footfalls not gentle, like horses.
They left us their playing they thought such a lark,
with toy mice and baubles a plenty.
And the house was all empty without our small friends,
but the love that they gave will remain...

Here is our assignment, hope this is what you were looking for.

1.) Have you ever heard anyone tell you that you need "an endless amount of water?" I mean how much water is "enough" water? Here's a little scenario..

The other day I heard that if you drink up to 10 glasses of water a day you burn 500 calories, I mean wow what an easy way to burn off 5oo calories doing nothing but drinking water. Yeah, so I did that all day but I really didn't sit all day.. I figured out the reason why you burn 500 calories is most likely because of the number of times your walking in and out of the bathroom. Ooo wee. So I tried not to do that again, but obviously you still need water so I decided I would cut back to about have and if that's not "an endless amount of water" well than that's just too bad.

2.) Nature has alot of accesories, from what you've obviously just seen water is a big part, then there is grass, flowers, trees, rain, thunder, lighting, sunshine, moonlight, wind, snow, hail, rivers, oceans, mountains, hills.

3.) Nature comes with all sorts of different colors. Grass, duh it's green that's exactly what we think of. Lighting.. it's like ohh fireworks and add some rain and thunder to it just to make it more exciting. Sunshine is usually thought of a orange or yellow, as with moonlight most likely white which is also snow too. And the mountains well depends on what season almost any color will do.

4.) She said, " So I was standing on top of a mountain watching the sunset and I was thinking of all the different colors."

She quickly gets interrupted by another girl.. " Ya, so one time this guy like climbed this huge friggen mountain and when he got to the top.."

She interrupts back.. "Sh, don't interrupt me.. anyways, when he got to the top he was like it was sooo beautiful blah blah blah and then he like started telling me he wanted to watch the sunset with me but then he like watched it by himself so what did he not want to watch it with me seriously?"

She answers " You would probably ruin the whole experience for him anyways, I mean got listen to yourself."

He walks in the room and says "Your totally right."

5.) Nature is used for many things.. when we're bored we can go out for a walk or ride and enjoy a little scenary or make up a cool adventure and pretend your like totally somewhere else.

Or if you want to buy your mom a present, go find a field and pick some nice flowers for her, she'll love that.

Nature also helps us get to our destinations I mean if there weren't an "outside" man we would all be pretty bored.

6.) Enjoying the outdoors is not "necessary" some people would rather sit on the couch and watch Everyboy loves Raymond, but hey that's cool.. it's a good show. We're not talking about a life or death situation, just the outdoors and if you like it you like it, if you don't.. you just don't.

7.) Nature makes it's own decisions just like a human.. if it wants to rain and storm want day that's just what it's going to do.. it doesn't care if you had plans to go on a picnic with your boyfriend or girlfriend.. too bad. Somedays it likes to be sunny though and enjoy it while you can cuz that could change any second.

The indoors is another story though, you want to have a picnic indoors nothings going to stop you, crank that heat up to 80 and pretend like it's a gorgeous day at the beach. The indoors doesn't care what the outdoors is doing it just "chills."

How Will You Kiss?

Lilt me your lips,
our lost breath intermingling.

Synchronize our silence
as lazy hours ease by.

Waft cocoa, hazelnut, cinnamon,
scents around me.

Tremble with me in paralyzing pauses.
I may no longer breathe without breathing you.

The Crystal Gazer

I shall gather myself into my self again,
I shall take my scattered selves and make them one.
I shall fuse them into a polished crystal ball
Where I can see the moon and the flashing sun.
I Shall sit like a sibyl, hour after hour intent.
Watching the future come and the present go -
And the little shifting pictures of people rushing
In tiny self-importance to and fro.

Hope is the thing...

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

Sisters

When Nan and I were little
we sometimes used to fight:
she'd read my secret diary
and I would scratch and bite.

If she pulled up the window shade
I would want it down;
if she wore short pajamas
I'd wear a long nightgown.

But then we learned it's better
to have a sister-friend,
someone beside you in the dark,
someone to hold your hand.

Now we're glad my hair is long
and hers is short and curled.
The difference doesn't matter:
we're two against the world.

What Is A Cat?

Gentle eyes
that see so much,
paws that have
the quiet touch.

Purrs to signal
"all is well"
and show more love
than words can tell.

Graceful movements
touched with pride,
a calming presence
by our side.

A friendship
that will last and grow,
small wonder
why we love them so.

I love the Spring and watching all of the flowers and trees blossoming so here is a poem about all of that.

For winter's rains and ruins are over,
And all the season of snows and sins;
The days dividing lover and lover,
The light that loses,
the night that wins;
And time remembered is grief forgotten,
And frosts are slain and flowers begotten,
And in green underwood and cover
Blossom by blossom the spring begins.

I was searching the internet for poems and I just happened to find this one, it's really weird because I met a friend named Rachel when I first started college, we were inseperable and then she decided to change her major and had to transfer. We were becoming such good friends and had so much in common, I cried when she left. We still talk almost every day but it's just not the same. So here is this poem I found.

Rachel
by Gap

I'll always remember her,
in good times and in bad.
I'll always remember,the good friend that I had.

Next year we'll be at different schools.
We'll have new teachers, new friends,
and all new rules.

I'll always remember,
the good times that we had.
And with her in my heart,
I'll never feel bad.

Every time I saw her,
She made me feel better.
I liked her more then anything,
the day that I met her.

I wish we could've been best friends.
That way I'd know she'd remember me,
till the very end.

As our school year comes to an end,
I'll always remember her,
as my "wanna be" best friend.

Just a love poem that I really like

Love

Love is like a hole dug deep in the ground,
easy to get into,
but hard to get out.
Once you're in,
you're in forever.
You're stuck with the pain,
and it never gets better.
Sometimes it feels good,
and sometimes it feels bad,
sometimes you're happy,
and sometimes you're sad.
The person you love will feel the same way.
He'll love you just as much,
and even more each day.
Love lasts forever and never dies,
so be glad if you have it,
and don't ask why.

This is the latest writing excercise that we did and I thought it turned out pretty cool. Check it out.

Mother Earth

Life, friends, is boring. We must not say so.
If you observe carefully you'll see,
Life is not all about that.
After all, the sky flashes, the great sea yearns,
It will appear as a clear "bubble."
You will be amazed.
We ourselves flash and yearn.
Thousands of reactions will occur,
when you see the gorgeous sky stir.
And moreover my mother told me as a little boy,
to accomplish this task withouy any questions asked
ever to confess your bored,
Go outside and gaze at the world.
The boredom will be gone
because the beauty is the cure.

Recently in my speech class a girl gave a speech on animal abuse and talked about the shelter she worked in. I am such an animal lover it broke my heart to here some of the things she said, so here are a couple of poems by some authors to make you think about it. Hope you enjoy, and I hope they touch your heart.

A Dog Sits Waiting
By: Anonymous

A dog sits waiting in the cold autumn sun,
Too faithful to leave, too frightened to run.

He's been here for days now, with nothing to do,
But sit by the road, waiting for you.

He can't understand why you left him that day.
He thought you and he were stopping to play.

He's sure you'll be back, and that's why he stays.
How long will he suffer? How many more days?

His legs have grown weak, his throat's parched and dry,
He's sick now from hunger and falls, with a sigh.

He lays down his head and closes his eyes,
I wish you could see how a waiting dog dies.

Cry From a Lonely Dog

I wish someone would tell me what it is that I've done wrong.
Why I've had to stay chained up and left alone so long
They seemed so glad to have me when I came here as a pup.
There were so many things we'd do while I was growing up.

They couldn't wait to train me as a companion and as a friend.
And told me how they'd never fear being left alone again.
The children said they'd feed me and brush me every day.
They'd play with me and walk me if only I could stay.

But now the family "hasn't time"; they often say I shed.
They do not want me in the house, not even to be fed.
The children never walk me. They always say, "Not now!
I wish that I could please them. Won't someone tell me how?

All I had, you see, was love. I wish they would explain.
Why they said they wanted me, then left me on a chain.

Just thought I would share two of my favorite sister poems..

There is no Friend like a Sister

There's no better friend than a sister -
There's no one more loyal and true . . .
and even when sisters are different . . .their likeness comes shining through!

Perhaps it's a family resemblance that strengthens the bond they share . . .
or maybe it's just that sisters live life with a similar flair!
A sister remembers your collegehood -
She knows more than you will admitof times you were Little Miss Perfect . . .
and times you gave others a fit!
She's seen you in some situationswhen silence just wouldn't suffice . . .
and managed somehow to get by with those sisterly words of advice!

And when some encouragement's needed . . .
a sister will always be there . . .
to listen . . .
to laugh . . .
or to lean on . . .
to comfort, or simply to care.

There's no one who's more in your corner . . .
and no one you're more grateful to.
There's no better friend than a sister . . .
and no better sister than you.

From "There Is No Friend Like A Sister"by Mary Engelbreit

A Very Special Sister

For many years we've shared our lives
One roof we once lived under
Sometimes we laughed, sometimes we cried
Through winter storms and thunder
The younger years have faded fast
We've gone our separate ways
But through all time our friendship lasts
Our bond in life remains
As summer brings the happy times
The autumn winds will whisper
A closer friend I'd never find
Than the one I call my Sister.

Vernon, 1985

New Woman Blues

Inside my white armor I am covered with hair and lice.
I haven't bathed for so long I no longer stink
but give off the odor of perfumed catacombs.
When I open my mouth to say I love you
spiders run over my lower lip and down into my beard.
There is a mouse tail hanging out of the corner of my mouth.
I want our first moments alone to be messy.
I want you to feel all the terror of me you will ever feel, now.
If you take me as I am I will nevr dissapoint you.
I wake at night and cut my dreams into paste-ups;
the snack snack snack of the scissors will test you.
I am violent and unpredictable.
I eat snake heads.
I have invited my beast to come live in my skin,
look out through my eyes.
I deny nothing.
I have no secrets.
I will give toy more truth than you ever wanted.
I fuck like the last day on earth.
When your parents come to visit
I will lead them into the room which is always in darkness
and there under the black light
show them my collection of missionaries
from all over the world.
When I say I love you
great greased cogs begin to turn
down below the sewers.
With me you have always more then you wanted.
Your leprosy is nothing to me.
Your psychotic episodes,
your collection of Filipino war knives,
nothing; your vibrating bras
ringed with Italian Christmas lights,
nothing compared to the vise-grip I'll pit on your heart.
Your legs will shake so badly waiting for me to come home
you'll scarcely notice they get worse when I'm there.
I drink a glass of blood every morning.
The Jehovah's Witnesses will not knock on my door.
Now I've told you everything.
No surprises down the road, no disappointments.
I'm sorry I've done all the talking.
That's the hardest thing of all you'll have to bear.

I like the imagery in this poem because you see that this man loves someone but its kind of scary the way he explains things. He wants the woman to love him for exactly who he is. In every line you see a different image though and it keeps you very interested.

Writing Excercise

Be.
I warned him,
It's snowing.
Like alot of llamas,
Put a hump on a camels back,
and don't look back.
Run until the next day,
Stay there until the break of day.
Delectable Delectable delirious deliquents destroy destiny.
Fight to the end to destroy everything to have victory.
You have to outsmart the enemy,
so hide behind a snow mound,
and when you see the whites of their eyes, BAM!
The sharks were scary and vicious.
The ocean is blue,
the seagulls are noisy.
I should get my twenty-two out.
And see what I can get,
while I stand on my head.
I imagine myself flying toward the safest place of all.
The dog was barking,
but the burglar was not scared off.
Only the rats were scared when they heard the gun blast.
Everything else remained silent the rest of the night.

There were so many different things going on in this writing excercise, it was very interesting.

Katie's Blog
I recently just read the first chapter of Janet Burroway's book Imaginative Writing. I loved reading all of the stories the imagery in it was just amazing. My favorite story was Sister Godzilla because I could just picture the whole story and it kept me very interested.

Well, this is the first time I have ever done this and I'm not really sure what to write. I'm an Elementary Education major and I'm 18 years old, I love children and I can't wait to become a teacher. I enjoy reading and I like to state my opinions often. I love dancing and hanging out with friends . Well that's all I really have to say for now.
