Blog Reviews

1. Pensamientos    
              
        I thought your peter pan post was great because I think it's really creative that you wrote the song yourself, and the lyrics turned out very good.

2. AyeBeeBeeEWhy

        Your christmas haikus are cute and fun to read, it helps me get that feeling that christmas is near.

3. Creative Writing- An ability you have to learn 

         "The things around you" was one of the best things I have read on any of the blogs so far. It had the most meaning and was just different. I really enjoyed it.

Sweet

The steel has not made me cold
Nor the stone made me hard
Nor the gray made me colorless.

The dopefiends have not made me scandalous
Nor the cops made me hateful
Nor the hateful made me heartless.

The food has not killed my appetite
Nor sexlessness killed my desire
Nor lifelessness killed my thirst.

They gave me no water for my garden,
Gave me sand for my seeds,
And I grew flowers
And low fruit,
Enough to color the walls
And make stale rice
Taste sweet.

Just Listen (Rite a Riff)

I chose to write this because I think one of the most important things in life is to listen to what one another has to say, the same way you want them to listen to you when you have something to say. 


Just stop and listen to the things people say around you.
You may be hearing but that doesn't mean you are listening.
To take in what someone has to say is a great skill to have in life, to analyze it is even greater.  
To sit down and rethink the meaning.
To take out every word and put in real thought.
If you just listened to me everything would have been okay.
Its never to late to go back, its never to late to rethink.
So Sit back and just listen.
