Attack Of The Bird Poop Lake!!!

Bang! Ahhh! Splash! I tumble down the sandy hill towards the slimy brown lake water. How this happened? Well, let’s start from the very first moment of this adventure… “Coming Esa!” I call from the garage of my house. Esa, my best friend is waiting at the bottom of my driveway. I hop up on my pink bike seat and pedal down next to her. “Ready?” Esa asks. I nod an excited yes. We pedal out towards the entrance to our neighborhood. **As bright, large, green trees and big, tan condos whizz past us, I think of the best song that I can whistle. So I start whistling. Esa laughs when I finally mess up the song.** Then, the sunlight disappears. I assume it's a cloud blocking the sunlight's path to

But you don’t have to worry about me!” Esa laughed. She’s staring at me. Then, we both find ourselves laughing. we were laughing as hysterically as hienas. Then, I remember. “ Our bikes! They're gonna sink!!!” I say. “Oh right!” She cries out. We hurry out to where the tiny bubbles are rising up from the black, gooey water. We both reach down and pull hard. The bikes are so heavy it feels like lifting 100 pounds! Soon, I see the pink and black handle bars of my bike. I start to walk back towards the brown, smelly beach. Esa joins me and we gasp for breath. I eye my bike up and down. “Gross!!! I hope Esa sill has her hose. We need it!” I thought.

We pull ourselves of the disgusting beach and walk over to Esa’s condo. I hold the hose while Esa wipes the bikes down with rag. Then we rinse ourselves off. While we do this, I think about how terrible this would have been without Esa. I mean, she IS my very best friend. And we do everything together. (That includes falling into poop filled lakes and getting mouthfulls of feathers together. Not to mention almost losing our bikes and getting grounded for the rest of our lives.;) And that's when I found out that absolutely everything is better when you have your friends by your

    Joy Harjo 's choice to use of Creek Indian Social Ball Game by Solomon McCombs as cover art for Conflict Resolution for Holy Beings invokes Mvskoke cultural traditions and methods of conflict resolution. The references to traditional ceremonies and the treatment of storytelling in her poems affirms that Harjo sees preservation of her heritage through art as a form of healing from ancestral trauma, a theme that dominates her poetry. Healing implies that the body and soul have worked through a complicated process in which tender care of the body and spirit have been administered so as to knit wounds together, form scars, and lead to invention of new ways to cope with what has been lost and the changed as a result. Perhaps at its core, Conflict…

    and I went to Orman Dam. While we were there we knee boarded and tubed. We were all having so much time and while we were doing all that my dad was filling up the ballast. If you don’t know what that is it is a spot on the back side of the boat where a giant pillow thing gets filled up with water. You need this because it weighs down that one side of a boat so you get a wake that looks similar to a wave at the ocean.…

    “So now I always tell my students about the Gulf-Stream: that what it means for us, for writers, is that we need to align ourselves with the river of the story” Bird by Bird Anne Lamott. This quote stuck out to me when I first read it, mainly because I am not usually a fan of poetic metaphors. However this is so cohesive it does not just seem as if it is a filler but it adds to the piece. Illustrating her thoughts in a vivid way and drawing a conclusion to her lengthy anecdote, it brings a deeper meaning to an almost unconnected story. The connection to writing and real world events is very important to further our understanding of our individual writing as well as how it can connect from paper to day to day life.…

    Tread Water Poem

    Upwards, your lungs craving air; the muscles in your body ache as you emerge up to the surface. Take a breath, feel the air rush back into your lungs, colour rush back into your cheeks. You were dying - only for a moment, but you were drifting away, being engulfed into the murky darkness. It will happen again, someday. Everyone gives in at the end, they claw at the water, resist with the small ounce of energy they have left, hold on the lonely drop of hope in all their minds despair; but sooner or later their eyes roll back, they feel nothing but numbness, they let the water take them, pull them, drag them down like it did to all the other lonely souls that were once just like you.…

We have heard from other settlers that it's too wide to bridge so we have to use the sandbars to get across. That has been a stressful thought, hopefully no one has any troubles. It's also very shallow which could cause problems because the current will be going at a high speed.…
