Hi ya!
A Lipogram is when you intentionally (and I guess you could do it unintentionally?) don't use a certain letter, like...
The live fish see rubies.
I was doing and Lipogram on 'A', as you must have noticed, there are no 'A's in that sentence.
I'll put a poem to music and post it on youtube.
i could be the next big thing.
i would rack up the number of views every day.
record deals could be mine (if i only could sing)
i'd see all the fame i had missed all along.
i have got to write a pop song...
After that conversation Gethin withdrew into a silent world. His face was marked with a sullen, empty stare. Except when it was absolutely essential, Gethin cut himself off from talking to anyone. If a nod was sufficient, he would give a nod rather than say a word.
Liadan would have tried to be with him in his sorrow, to comfort him if she could. But he would not allow it. In his sorrow, he turned inward.
Yesterday was my first day of my 15 year on the world. I don't feel much different than I did 2 days ago, when I was a mere 14 year old. I haven't gotten a sudden wealth of wisdom or suddenly understood why I am here or what the purpose to life is. I feel more as if I fit in my own skin, that 15 is the age I belong in for now, and I am content with that. The things that seemed oh so important last year are now dim memories in my mind, things I hardly think about any more.
I want to know everything
I want to see his tears
I want him to let me see everything
But he just fears
Fears that if we get too close
He won’t be able to say goodbye
He doesn't want to take that jump
He thinks the risks are too high
So he gets into his boat
And waves goodbye to me
As I’m drowning at the shore
Now I’m no longer drowning
But sailing out at sea
Happy and contented because I know
Someday there will be someone
Who will come sailing here for me
The man in the corner booth was crying into his tomato soup.
Dear Homeschooling Friends,
Last month I mentioned choosing a topic to write about for the season. Then, after hearing all your ideas, I promptly became very busy and did not follow through with picking a topic.
My appologies.
A third of the season is over, and only two months remain.
To start off, I think we'll stick with a simple topic, and perhaps do one of the more complicated topics during the summer.
So, I need your help to make the final decision. These are the contestants for Spring:
After hot and sunny days,
After work and fun,
Come the slanting rays
Of the evening sun.
