Purple Frog

Hip hop purple frog

How did he get like that, well…

How should I know?

Wolf’s Eyes

They tell of his bravery,

His entire life and history,

 I look and see a wolf watching me,

But in his eyes it’s no surprise there is honor and loyalty,

Right there for all to see.

Pond

Turtle, turtle swimming by,

Zip, zoom, buzz, there went a fly,

Splash, splosh fish,

Make a wish,

Time to say goodbye,

Me

The Wind

The wind blows the world back and forth

It batters and blows south, west, east, and north,

But can be gentle enough to just barely blow grass,

And strong enough to blow objects of large mass,

And not many people can obtain,

A way to be both without pain or strain

My Final Product Cause and Effect Creation for Three Cups of Tea the Story of Greg Mortenson

Greg is an intelligent and friendly lad

And what a goal he had

To climb K2

Into the sky of blue

He thought of his goal as selfish and bad

When he saw children learning dirt clad

Then a new goal arose to be fulfilled

It was a new school which Greg must build

He made many improvements to the people’s lives

And encouraged the education of the girls and wives

The children now play in the school yard very loud

Greg is sure his sister would be proud

Life

welcome warmth,

love laughter,

appreciate affection,

is to living as;

greeting greed,

obtaining obsessions,

declaring defeat, 

is to grief.
