Would you like to meet my friends?
You would? Hurrah!
I’m sure they are the finest group
Of folks I ever saw
Let’s begin with Lucy,
The dear, brave, and sweet girl.
She’s gentle yet faithful
Through ev’ry adventure.
And that’s Pollyanna,
Standing by the window.
She’s most remarkable
Among everyone I know.
Her life was not easy,
But she still played the game.
She would count her blessings
Whene’er troubles came.
Judy stared at her bedroom ceiling, just as she did every night. She admired the familiar crevices as she allowed her mind to drift freely. Normally this habit resulted in sleep, but this particular night her brain was wide-awake. Her eyes careened to her bookcase, as she thought of the many adventures that lurked inside each book, ready to be released into her imagination.

People become leaders by using persuasive ways, like propaganda, posters, TV and ads. But some, like me, want other people to be interested in something that they are interested in. This essay is to get you interested in my favorite book series: The Peleg Chronicles!
A year from today; today, the 21st of January; I found this amazing website, ApricotPie. I cannot believe a year has gone by so quickly, but it has. A year ago from today I would not have even imagined that I would be allowed to be a part of this encouraging community of home-schooled writers...but because of my parents' permission, I am! I am so incredibly blessed. God Bless You all!

Turn
The
Soft crinkle
Of the bending
The slightest move
With
A motion
Turning a page
A whole new world
One
Soft sigh
A held breath
A trance of wonder
Hurt
Odd pain
Not your own
Brought on by ink
This
New place
Brand new world
Exciting new adventure
Not
Of flesh
Born of words
Living deep inside
All
New view
Shifted forever
Brought by a turn
