Quote of the day

"You cannot hold on to anything good. You must be continually giving - and getting. You cannot hold on to your seed. You must sow it - and reap anew. You cannot hold on to riches. You must use them and get other riches in return."

-Robert Collier

Spring


Creative Piece

Author's Note: When I looked out the window in the L.A. room, I started thinking about how I really wanted spring to come. I used a lot of describing words in this piece so then the readers could try to get a feel of being in this wonderful world. I also tried to use more colons and semi-colons to help with my goals.



Sweet smells of spring dance through the air. Delicate flowers sway in the wind; the green grass dries from the midnight dew. Butterflies hover above your head, while little bees picnic in the tulips. A tabby cat lies on a freshly painted porch, bathing in the sunlight. Children and their canine friends prance in the parks, celebrating the beautiful spring day.


You can hear music in the air as a car drives by with its windows rolled down. Friendly gardeners tend to their crops: tomatoes, carrots, and so many more. A family dashes by on their bikes as if they are in a race. Little humming birds sing their happy tune to the budding trees, while squirrels play in their branches.


People gather around a fire enjoying the peaceful night, while children play tag with their little flashlights. Animals of the night scurry around, exploring the darkened landscape. Crickets start to chirp in the grass, singing their song of joy. Children drag their sleepy feet as their parents call them to bed.


Spring may feel oh so far away, but just you wait. It will be here to welcome you into a beautiful new world.
