Summer

The wind blows the sand
The sea breaking the silence
The sky shining bright

The sun is flaming
Heat burns your skin like fire
Your skin turns golden

The sky turning dark
The sun setting on the sea
The heat turning cold

What do you think?  Feel free to leave any suggestions or additions you think is necessary.  I'm also sorry that I haven't been posting anything.  I am currently working on a book for Nanowrimo so I've just been so caught up in that.  But I will be sure to update as soon as I start writing creative pieces, which will be somewhere in the end of November. :)

Beach

The sky's rose gold,
Making it look like a painting.

The waves crash onto the sand,
Turning it into a blank slate.

The birds skim the water,
Scaring the fish away.

The wind blows against the ocean,
Pushing mini waves to the shore.

Slowly the sky fills with stars,
Shining like crystals in a cave.

The water becoming violent,
Scaring the birds away.

The wind feeling like paper cuts,
Leaving small, hot scars on your face.

The sand turns cold,
Chill to the touch.

Everything is still,
Except for the ocean.

Waves breaking the silence.

This is the final piece, what do you think? If you think there is a change that should be made, feel free to share it.

Paper #3


The wind blows the sand
The sea breaking the silence
The sky shining bright


The sun is flaming
Heat burns your skin like fire

As you can see, this is still a work in progress. My goal was to make two to three different haikus but with a somewhat theme. I am still not able to think of a third line for my second haiku so feel free to share an ideas/suggestions. In addition, I still have not come up with a good title so if you have a good one, feel free to share it:)

Beach

The sky's rose gold,
Making it look like a painting.

The waves crash onto the sand,
Turning it into a blank slate.

The birds skim the water,
Sending the fish away.

The wind blows against the ocean,
Pushing mini waves to the shore.

Slowly the sky fills with stars,
Shining like crystals in a cave.

The water becoming violent,
Scaring the birds away.

The wind feeling like paper cuts,
Leaving small, hot scars on your face.

The sand turns cold,
Chill to the touch.

Everything is still,
Except for the ocean.

The sound of waves breaking the silence,

What do you think?  I'm still working on it.  I just haven't found the right ending yet. Feel free to share your ideas for a good ending or just suggestions.

A Day in Dubai

When I got of the plane I felt a wave of heat crash into my face.  I started to walk down the stairs with my small carry-on bag feeling the sun burning through my skin.  As I walked to the airport I knew this would be one of the craziest decisions I've ever made, moving to Dubai, UAE.  When I walked into the airport I felt a breeze of air cool on my hot skin.  As I walked to the baggage claim I noticed that the heat didn't seem to faze the rest of the people.  After getting my two maroon bags from the baggage claim I went outside to the front of the airport to see if I could quickly flag down a cab.  To be honest I think I looked like a crazy person, waving rapidly at different cabs with tons of stuff in my hands.  Eventually a cab pulled over and offered to drive me to my hotel.  After a half hour drive I arrived to the hotel, I felt the hot air when I got out the cab to get my stuff.  I walked to the desk and told the receptionist my last name.
“I'm sorry but I do not see a reservation under Jean.”
“I’m very sure that I booked a room for two weeks.”
“Ok. I will see what I can do.”
“Thank you.”
I was very sure that I had booked a hotel room, but I had to wait almost two hours for them to check and see if I had made a reservation.  Then the lady walked up to me, “ Excuse me, I want to apologize for the wait. We found your reservation, it just hadn't been put into the system.” Finally, they found my name in the system and led me to my room.  When I got to my room I went to check the view and discovered that I had a view of the Burj Al Arab hotel which was said to change colors at night.

After dropping my stuff in my room I grabbed a cab.  
“Could you take me to the Dubai Mall.”
I entered the mall only to be greeted with a big sign that suggested to print a small paper that told me where I had parked.  The mall was so big that people actually have forgotten which entrance they came from or where they parked.  I immediately went to locate the aquarium on the map because it was said to be not only beautiful but gigantic.  When I saw the tank it was overwhelming to see a big aquarium-over 27-feet in a mall.  I saw all types of fish and I also saw many sharks.  Next, I went to search for a good restaurant in the huge food court and ended up eating at a small cafe.  By the time I finished and shopped around a little it was 10:30p.m. but the funny thing was that just then, the mall started to get packed.  I found this a little funny but when I went outside I noticed it had cooled down a lot which made it easier to walk around and go to the outlets.  Conveniently the mall had a car rental which I gladly went to so I wouldn't have to rely on cabs.  The only cars they had available were Rams and Jeeps because some of the roads were not exactly paved or smooth.  After I rented my car I parked in a vacant spot in the parking lot and remembered to print the piece of paper that tells you which entrance you came from.  I got in the car and rolled down the windows feeling the slightly cool breeze as I was driving.

I looked outside and I saw a sea of lights and lots of people walking.  It seemed that at night Dubai came alive and everyone became party animals.  Just as I got to the hotel I saw the Burj Al Arab changing into different colors.  It looked so pretty in the pitch black sky and the lights from the streets and other places almost highlighted the hotel.  I really wanted to get a room there, but at $24000 per night for the Royal suite, it would cost me an arm and a leg.  After admiring the colorful lights, I left the baking heat and and went back to the cold air conditioning of my affordable, less colorful, hotel.

What do you think? Feel free to give suggestions and/or advise.

Hi:),  I am in high school.  I am currently in 10th grade.  Right now I am in a class called, " Creative Writing."  In this class, I have to turn in a new creative writing piece every two weeks.  During this time, I usually start writing my paper and try and get feedback on it from my other classmates.  As part of our grade, we have to publish it to the world.  However, I will not just be posting the final piece,  I will be posting my drafts and revised drafts to get feedback and make it perfect.  Only then will I turn it in to my teacher to get it graded.  And of course, I will share the grade with everyone who helped make the paper perfect.  So be prepared to see a new paper every two weeks.


Me


I am 15 years old and in 10th grade.  I love cats and love to read action-packed and fantasy books. I am currently in Yearbook in my school as well as SCA(Student Council Association).  I just recently moved from California to Virginia.  Throughout my whole life, I have probably moved about 7 times.  I was originally born in Virginia.  When I was about to start preschool, me any my parents moved to California.  After one year they decided to moved to Boston, Massachusetts, near my aunt.  In Boston I went to kindergarten but after I finished kindergarten we moved all the way to Dubai, U.A.E.(United Arab Emirates).  When I first got there it was very hot but beautiful at the same time.  We lived there for about 2 and half years.  In that time we moved from a house to an apartment and I changed schools for each year.  After about half way through third grade we moved back to Virginia...yay:/Thankfully I went to the same school for the rest of third and fourth grade but changed schools again for fifth grade.  After fifth grade I obviously had to change school, form elementary to middle.  Thankfully I knew a lot of people so I was able to adjust pretty quickly.  However, when my first year of middle school ended...you guessed it, we moved, to California.  I was so mad we had to move to California, I had finally made some close friends and then I had to leave them like there was no tomorrow.  When I went to my new middle school, I was very nervous.  I had to make new friends AGAIN.  But after a few days I made a lot of new friends, they were like my best, best friends.  We went through everything together from our first year in the middle school to the first year of high school.  However, after my freshman year in high school I had to move.  I had to leave my friends who I had been friends with since seventh grade(3 yrs-longest I've had the same friends), who were practically my 2nd family, AGAIN.  Now I'm here, in a new school, with few friends, and barley any family.  I'm making it work though, I don't know how, but I am.  I don't exactly know what will happen next but I just have to be prepared.
