A Love Poem
Sonnet 43 by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

Are You a Dreamer?
Dreams by Langston Hughes
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
Hold fast to dreams

Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

I read 'Pretty Little Liars' and loved it! It reminded me of a horror movie but it was about teen girls so I could somehow relate to it. Theres 6 books in the series and I've already read 3 of them but the library only has the 1st, 2nd and 5th books. Check it out!

I think that the Hunger Games is a book that everyone should read if you are interested in action novels. I really liked this book because the author uses very descriptive writing so you can easily see what she is trying to show you. I also liked this book because it is exciting, and it's hard to put down. I think that anyone that enjoys a good book needs to read this A.S.A.P!

YES!!! I have said those words...about this one book called On My honor. My teacher read it to the class in 5th grade and when the class finished the book i wanted to read it again. I told my sister about it and she read it then she told all her friends about it. So yes i have said those words before...and probably more then once.

OMG!!! I've read to many books that were so interesting! One of the books was called Esperanza Rising. This book is about a rich Mexican-American girl who lives in Mexico but her house is burned down and she is forced to move into the U.S. Her life is started like any other immigrant. She goes through alot of problems...but it was so worth reading! Another book i read was called He Forgot to Say Good Bye. it was about two boys who were both abandoned by their fathers...it was a sad read but i just couldn't put it down!

My favorite book is about a little brown dog. He played, jumped and caught the ball. He lived with one child, a boy.
ReplyDeleteI do not remember the title, but I recommend it.

Some people say that the twilight books are stupid, but if you really gave them a chance then you might really end up like them. The books have very different plots than some of the books people are you use to. just because some people like them, that dosen't mean you have to like them. The books have tought me alot of life lesons, that would have taken me a long time to figure out on my own. Don't be afarid to be different by reading different books than you friends, they might want to read different books but do have the currage to step out and pick up the book.
