Haiku


Fish in the sea



A bright sunny day
The fish swimming together
From the hungry shark

The shark get’s closer
The predator seeks his prey
The fish have no choice

He jumps too early
His prey swims with no urgence
He can not catch them

Original: Passing On, Udiah (witness to Yah)
12 cor 5:8, Eccl 12:7

To be absent from the body
Is to be present with the Lord
The dust returns to earth
The spirit returns to God who gave it

Is a gift from the Lord
To be given a Chance on earth
Have faith in the Lord who gave it

Shakespearean Sonnet


Winter

Watching the year go by, as fast as light;
Summer, winter, spring, fall, modifying
Our way of life day by day, night by night:
Summer shows up and it’s fine, defying
Jack Frost’s longing for the days to be cold;
Sharp as the fangs of a snake as it bites;
We don’t even expect it. The wind’s bold
And relentless. We continue the fights
Against the white stuff that falls from the sky;
We battle with our shovels and our minds;
We search for defeat, we will not comply;
No way to win the fight is what he finds;
Though he continues to try day by day;
For four long months it is constantly gray.

Introduction poem


I am poem






I am Nicole Bailey
I have never moved in my life
I have never been out of North America

I got invited to try out for the provincial soccer team
I have four first cousins
I have broken my arm
My mom loves dogs
I am Nicole Bailey
