Of Apricots

I am an Apricot In an ApricotPie And lest you forget, I’ll now explain why Apples are for school And teachers’ goodbyes But ‘Apricots are strange ‘ --A fact I belie— Does it really matter As long as we try?   People are confused And tell Apricot lies “They can’t grow well there, Won’t be strong and spry,” But our Apricot juice Is not running dry Sweet and delicious, An endless supply   I am an Apricot In this ApricotPie

Triumvir (previously titled "And There Were Three"): Chapter Twenty-One

Submitted by Clare Marie on Sun, 01/17/2010 - 18:14

**Yep, it happened.  I finally was able to find a better name for this book.  Triumvir.  (Pronounced try-UM-vur, almost like triumphant, only with a vir instead of a phant.)  Triumvir means "a ruling body of three".  At this point, I think my chapters are going to start getting a little confusing, as I'm not too sure where I'm going right now, plot-wise...so any "constructive criticism" comments would be most welcome. :)**

Clumsy in New York City!

I pull on my coat and my scarf underneath.

 It's another frosty day in New York City.

 I stop at a crowded Starbucks and buy a coffee.  I take a sip

 Not quite ready to brave the weather.  The beverage

 Warms my insides and leaves me feeling chirpy.

  

I step outside and almost fall on a thick piece of ice.

 I look up hopelessly as a couple stares at me.

My Six String Beast

Submitted by Tatum on Thu, 08/20/2009 - 17:46

I was thrilled when my parents came home on my fifteenth birthday and announced that they had brought home a surprise. I had known what I wanted all summer and now the moment was finally here! Could it be? Yes! My parents opened up the box and my wishes were fulfilled at last. My own, brand new, guitar.

The creature was so cute! It was a new born, too, so it couldn’t stand up on its own. It was the most beautiful guitar I have ever seen! Her eyes looked like slits. I guessed that was due to the fact that she was only a few weeks old.

The Girl with the Hiccups

Submitted by Ragdoll on Wed, 03/04/2009 - 03:21
There once was a girl named Sophia. Sophia was ten years old, but very different from the other girls of her age around town. For starters, Sophia cried over everything. And I do mean everything. And because Sophia cried very often, she always got a serious case of the hiccups.

So one day, Sophia’s mother decided to take a trip to the doctor’s office to figure out a cure for her very annoying hiccups.

The Road to Nowhere

Submitted by Ragdoll on Sun, 01/25/2009 - 04:20
The road to nowhere. Or that's what it seems like anyways. Heading west on Interstate 10 with my mom, dad, brother, sister, dog, cat, and myself. Miles of empty land stretching out all around us. Small hills here and there. A lot of yellowish-greenish grass. Dry. Like no water has touched their roots in ages. My cat finally sleeps peacefully after an hour of meowing. My brother is immersed in his video game. I wonder if he will keep his neck down for that long, the whole trip. 10 more hours. 10 more hours. I can make it. I have to. I person can't die of boredom, can they? No.

The Story of Deedee

Submitted by KatieMarie on Fri, 12/26/2008 - 23:50

Once Upon A Time, a monkey named Deedee owned a beautiful island. It was only Deedee and her bananas that lived there, so she called the island “Deedee’s Banana Cabana Heaven”. Then, one day, humans came onto the island. They built a town and took most of Deedee’s bananas. “Those pesky humans!” Deedee thought angrily. Deedee climbed one of the trees on the island and said, “Well as long as they leave me alone, I’ll leave them alone.”

The teachers almost always stayed inside during recess because, in this small town, watching the television was probably the most exciting thing to do. So recess was the best time for Jimmy to antagonize younger students.
