Saturday… which actually felt like Sunday because of going out on Friday, the Friday which felt like a Saturday…

Hey everyone!

Okay, so over the past three days I’ve actually been busy doing… okay well I wouldn’t say busy but I’ve been enjoying summer to it’s fullest!!

On Friday (Yes Friday, I know! Aren’t the holidays just the best :-P) Venetia and I met up in town with three of our French (I have to stop categorising them under “French”… what other type of Friends would I be going out with over here /: ) friends and we walked to a studio sort of place. Where we met a friend of Adelyne’s (Melanie the drummer), and there we “jammed”. It was so much fun!

Usually I’m extremely shy about my voice but this time, I just thought, Aww what the heck! And sang for a bit, of course I didn’t want to play the band’s music on my guitar… I haven’t really practised improvising… Can you practise improvisation /:-S? Anyhoo, yes I’ve never improvised, so decided to leave that to the other guitarist there :-P. Then we went back to town, and all in all it was great! Finally making friends here ^_^.

The following day, Saturday… which actually felt like Sunday because of going out on Friday, the Friday which felt like a Saturday… So on the “real” Saturday Venetia and I met up with a friend and went to the outdoor swimming pool! Extremely confusing, since I’ve never been to an outdoor public pool in my life.

It was quite fun actually, although I put my body through shock. See we went straight outside and jumped into that pool, I thought it was an alright temperature but half an hour to an hour later when we decided to head on inside, and I bombed into that pool, I was shocked by the temperature, I thought I was going to die of the heat! So was soon back outside again… which I soon regretted :-P… Everything felt so much colder than it had been before, because now my body had warmed up >.<. Even worse! The clouds had decided to just come over and smother the sunshine up! I decided to just brace myself for it though, I had lived in Ireland for most of my life anyway! What’s another few minutes of shivers and shakes? :-P

On Sunday, the Sunday which really should have been Monday, but wasn’t, we had a barbeque in the rain :-P. Living in South-West France and all, we had sort of just expected the weather to be top-notch like always… We’ve been taking the weather for granted recently! But the barbeque was so much fun and the lovely couple we know here, who we’d invited and who’d driven two hours to get to us, had seemed to have a great time, so all was good. It was brilliant to get to practise my French, without getting flustered. And I even learnt quite a few interesting phrases :-P. The weather hasn’t improved much, but by “Meteo France” it shall be 23 degrees in my little town tomorrow :-). Vive la France! Today I actually feel like doing a bit of work, so going to practice my guitar and “maybe”, emphasise on the maybe, learn more French words :-P. Hoping to hear from you guys soon!

“I-Have-No-Idea-What-You’re-Saying-To-Me-So-I’ll-Just-Smile-And-Nod"... Smiling and nodding doesn't actually work by the way...

Hey Everyone!

Okay, I know it’s been a while since I wrote but now I actually have news ^_^... New art and a poem! Last Saturday, was ”LA FETE DE LA MUSIQUE” (THE MUSIC FESTIVAL)... It deserves caps lock :-P. So in my little town, there were bands set up everywhere! So at half past eight, we all set down there, and it was absolutely brilliant!! Music, and people everywhere, even a French Tribute Band to AC/DC! Have to say that was my favourite set up, the loud grumbling music running through your veins, flashing lights, roaring crowd, lovely weather, can't get any better than that :-P... So yes, evidently I enjoyed it very much.

The next Music related thing happening in my little town is on the 13th of July, so will definitely be there. It’s more of a teenage thing, I think. Loud “tektonik” music, flashing lights again… DJ’s and everything! I’m not used to these sorts of things happening so it’s extremely exciting for me when they do :-P.

After being in France for a year, a month and 5 days, I think that I’m finally getting the jest of the language, honestly, the day before yesterday, my mom realised something was wrong with the car engine, and thought it may have been the oil. Then I had a whole, complex conversation, with a French person that we know, about it… In… would you believe it… FRENCH!! :-P

I even surprised myself about how much I could understand… of course there were still those moments of “I-Have-No-Idea-What-You’re-Saying-To-Me-So-I’ll-Just-Smile-And-Nod”… Smiling and nodding doesn’t actually work by the way… Well it never works for me anyway… it’s mainly because of the reason that my body won’t do these movements and prefers to get a rigid look of “Oh-Dear-Gods-Over-Load-Of-Confusion” and I end up with my eyebrows looking all sad and worried, my eyes the size of the moon (I love that song… although Venetia finds it creepy…), my teeth clenched, so the words “Je n’ai pas vraiment saisi ce point” (I didn’t quite catch that), never seem to pass through my lips… No matter how many times I practice it… or the person whom I’m speaking with will just go off speaking at a hundred miles an hour again, and then, I’ll realise, oh well, it couldn’t have been that important… Right? /:(

The absolute worst though, is when you really didn’t understand the person, and then they’ll ask you to translate… Or you happened to be daydreaming for those 5 minutes that you know you REALLY should have been listening, then they’ll look at you, as if expecting a reply, and everything goes silent… This is usually the time to smile and nod, and if that doesn’t work, find something to fixate on, and start talking about that… It usually works, especially if it’s a compliment to the person. **

**If it’s something about the person, try not to fixate too much on it… This will only lead to creeping people out.

Once you really get the hang of all that, it’s usually fine to say that you’re getting the jest of the language… Until once more, you’re asked to translate and you turn to the person closest (the one who’s awaiting the translation of course) and instead of translating you smile and nod and say “I have no idea”… and use your hands as if making some real point. Look back to the French-speaker and then look expectantly, as if, okay now I’m waiting for a response from you.

The best plan though, if you want to practice your French, is simply to tell the French person/ people “Je dois reviser mon Francais” (I must practice my French)… Then begin to ramble on in French, I’ve found that it doesn’t matter what you say, as long as you keep going without a break, for them to respond in French, then it feels like you’re really breezing along in the language.

Although the other day, we were promenading, and walked past one of the lovely neighbours on our street, and my dad said “Bonsoir!”, she beckoned us into her garden, down the back, squeezing past her car, and then to a cherry-filled tree, it had a much larger percentage of cherries on it than our tree did at the time, I’m guessing because my grandmother hadn’t been at that tree yet :-P.

Yes so she told my dad to put the ladder up under the cherry tree and then gave us two shopping bags, and told us to fill them. I thought that we were being extremely intrusive so I just stood there randomly, and then had a conversation with her, of which I decided to do the “I’ll-Be-The-Only-One-Talking” conversation… And so the rambling began… BIG mistake, without thinking I said “Je ne sais pas ce que je dois dire parce que je n’ai pas beaucoup à dire” (I don’t know what I must say because I don’t have very much to say). Afterwards I thought, Oh nooo, how could I say that!!?

So yes, perhaps the rambling French isn’t one of the best ideas… But she didn’t seem offended, and is very nice. I really HAVE to watch more French television, I have a problem with the listening of French, hence, I get overly flustered when people reply :-P.

So that was your “How To Speak French” lesson for today :-P. Now to the poetry!! When I write a poem, I’ll think about a short story, that I know will never be long enough to write as a book, and that I know, if I did make it long enough, I would be far too lazy to write it :-P. So here’s a poem that I wrote in 10 minutes last night.

************************************************
It was a thundering night,
You were quite a sight,
As the doors flew open,
And you made your way in,
You were wearing black and red,
Who knew you would leave so many dead,
You pulled out a gun,
Everyone threw up their hands, as if to a glaring sun,
But nothing we could say would change,
The happenings that had made you go insane,
You came for her, and only her,
As she curled up like a baby on the floor,
You whipped her up, and made her pay,
Who would have though it would be her final day,
Before you pulled the trigger, one last time,
You decided everyone must have done a crime,
The yells and the cries,
How could you have ruined all of those lives,
Finally you turned it on yourself,
You’d never had glory, or even wealth,
She was your life,
Suddenly a wayward wife,
Her fate was sealed,
When she started playing the field.

By Bianca Cassandra P.

************************************************
And another one I wrote a couple of weeks ago, it even has two whole words of French in it!! :-P. Usually I don’t name my poems, but this time I have, because it just goes :-P.

************************************************
Reserved
I’m keeping this place,
I’m keeping this table,
Keeping them for you,
You’ll have a spot,
Always in my heart,
No matter what you do,
Reserving this space,
Expecting your face,
To come smiling around that corner,
Sitting here on my own,
Just another late one?
It’s always what I wonder,
‘Cause you know that my heart is reserved,
Unnaturally curved,
I’ve been waiting so long,
My heart wants a new song,
But even so, still I’m here,
Waiting for you, mon cheri, my dear,
My soul scorns,
My heart burns,
I’ll continue reserving it for you,
Holding my phone,
Expecting you to come,
Every day, this is what I do,
Every day I wait,
Repeating “He’s just late”,
“No, this seat is taken, I’m sorry”,
I’m beginning to worry…
You don’t even know,
Maybe it’ll be easier just to let go
But no,
I’ll reserve this place,
I’ll wait here forever,
Although you’ll know this never.

A couple of weeks ago I drew this tiger, and he’s now one of my favourite art pieces, even if he did only take an hour and a half to draw :-P. And yesterday I also drew a picture of the “Me To You” bears for a friend of mine in Ireland :-), Kirsty!! I think it is the cutest picture ever :-P. Oh I’m so modest ;-).

If you’re new to the site, remember to scroll at the way down to the bottom and click “Older Posts” and keep doing this until you come to the very first “Kiss My Fishy” post. I just realised how long this post is, and that I should really get back to French. Shall post soon! Don’t forget to kiss the fish on your next fishing excursion… And get pictures!! And then send the pictures into me at kissmyfishy@gmail.com :-P.

Hope to hear from you guys soon!

P.S. If you have a short story (a paragraph or two) and want me to write a poem about it, just send it to my e-mail, and I'd be more than happy to :-).

This is NOT summer

Hey all of my fellow fish kissers!

I can’t say that I have too much news but a couple of things have happened recently.

One of which was my parents buying me an acoustic guitar! It sounds like thunder!! I love it to bits, midnight blue, oooh! Yes, so quite ecstatic about that! Though, the strings on an acoustic guitar are much thicker than that of an electric. So when pressing down on the strings, it is much more difficult, therefore, much more painful!!!

So my finger tips have been toughening up, will have to put some video’s up on “Youtube” of me playing! Ooh, fun ^_^!

Another, oh, so very… exciting thing that happened was that my sister, Gizmo and I all got caught in a thunder and lightning storm when we went for a walk! It wasn’t horrible but it was hardly pleasant as well :-P. We’d gotten quite a bit away, and then drip… drip… then it just began bucketing down! I triiiied to hide under anything suitable and run the rest of the way, to try keep dry, but soon enough, gave up. Gizmo and Venetia were loving it, but I wasn’t so keen :-P. Half way home there were enormously large BOOOOOOM’s!!! Which actually made it fun! Once we got home, I had asthma and we were all saturated. I thought this was supposed to be “sunny” France /: … Pffft!

Yes! This is NOT summer, I woke up on the 1st of June and looked outside, rainy… wet… not as cold as Ireland though. And I can’t really complain, yesterday I got a bit of tanning in!

I had my first French Cinema experience on Sunday! We were wanting to go watch “Indiana Jones” but were a liiiittle bit late in getting to the queue and ended up going to “Cash” instead, it was alright. The funny thing was that after five minutes of French speaking, it burst into English for about ten minutes!! Venetia and I were thinking “Oh no! Our friends are going to think we chose this film because it’s in English”, it was alright though, even though it did keep slipping into English, the majority was French, and it wasn’t too hard to follow along with. The end had a very good twist!

Okay, I’ve decided to do my “100 French Words A Day” thing today, so have to get stuck into that… Joy! ;-)

Hoping to hear from you soon, waiting on photos :-).

Argh, TOO bright!!

Hey guys!

The ice-rink closed last week, and the weather has been terrible since, so I haven’t much new news. I’m hoping to get out fishing sometime soon, today would have been perfect, but alas, it is Monday :-P.
Sorry guys, I wrote that section on Monday, and then changed over to doing some French :-P… Let me start over :-P.

Yesterday morning my mom came into my room, walked to the windows and threw open the French shutters. The sun streamed through, I moaned and mumbled “Argh, TOO bright!!”…. Then I realised that the weather was finally back to normal! So I flopped out onto the section of bed that had a sun-patch on it, and said “Ooh! Sun! Sun!!!”… Yes, you appreciate it much more once you’re completely awake :-P.

Today my mom and I have been working on flattening out the sand for the pool to be placed on. Oooh yes! Don’t think that I’ve told you, never mind the first problems we had with the pool, a few weeks ago we found out that we had to move the pool off the patio! “Soooommmmebody” (I put this “soooommmebody” into inverted commas because… I honestly don’t know who built it :-P) hadn’t built it correctly… and therefore it wasn’t strong enough :-(…

Anyhow, a few weeks later, three tonnes of sand, a few concrete bricks, a lot of muscle pain from moving the sand, and a lot more water later, we were done! Joy! We just finished it today, and it looks brilliant! So looking forward to going for a dip soon.

I’m truly looking forward to the summer, all of the fruit in the garden will be in bloom, the sun will be on duty 16/7 :-P and of course, the outdoor pool will be open! I think it’s absolutely brilliant, well it looks like it anyway on the website! I’ve wanted to go just to the indoor one recently, but haven’t found myself going :-S. So guess I’ll just wait :-P.

The downside to summer here… and any hot country I guess, is the mozzies! The other night one of the mosquito’s had an all you can eat buffet on my back… and my wrist! Absolutely horrible and itchy! And another problem here are the “aliens”. I have told you about these awful insects that I named “aliens” before (Blog Name -There's an ALIEN in my tea-cup!), we got them in Sicily, and they just can’t seem to leave us alone… well leave my sister alone more like, she’s been “attacked” uncountable times in the past week, one crawling across her arm, another, scurrying up her leg!... Blurgh!

Oh! My grandmother’s come over to stay with us from England, woo! ^_^ She’s not like a normal grandmother… She’s really cool… not that normal grandmother’s aren’t cool, but Karen’s different ^_^. Anyway, I call her “Karen”… I never really got the “Granny” thing. It just sounds strange and makes Karen feel old (which she’s not) :-P. Also with my uncles and aunts, sometimes I guess I’ll say “Uncle Rino”… no, maybe not :-S, :-P.

We have a baguette lady! Can’t get anymore French than that! Yes, so she comes everyday… except Monday /:-S, and delivers our daily “flute”. Like a baguette but larger. It’s pretty darn awesome! And always super fresh and soft! Mmmm!

Ooh! Has anyone watched “Buffy, The Vampire Slayer”? I know it’s a random question, but since we have a shortage of English speaking films in France and there is only so many times that I can watch “Arthur and the Minimoys”, a friend of my dad’s has leant us the complete series of “Buffy” and they’re surprisingly good :-P!

Okay, since I’m telling you about the weather, my grandmother, the baguette lady and… what I’ve been watching on T.V. lately, I think it’s time to stop boring you :-P.

So I shall talk soon, or at least once I have more news :-P.

My first pool… sort of… in France ^_^!

Hey everyone!

I haven’t got a lot of news… again… except for… that... we got a swimming pool! Yay :-P!! But the bad news is that it’s been terrible weather ever since the day we got the first one… yes, the first one >.<.

You see, the first one was far too big for the patio but we didn’t realise this until it was filling with water and falling over the edge… we had quite a few mud slides… blurgh!! Something I NEVER want to do again… so we got another one, which fits perfectly and is still quite big. Even though the weather’s not been up to par, on the first day of putting up the second pool, I went for an extremely cold dip… I don’t think the point of swimming pools are supposed to be to make you turn pale and numb… it was a lot of fun though! My first pool… sort of… in France ^_^!

A couple of days ago, we went fishing! It was brilliant, even though I didn’t catch anything, it was still a lot of fun :-)! I got to see a few fish… and even saw a tidler swimming away with my bait… well a giant blob of orange moving around under the water for a bit before… vanishing into thin… water :-P. It was quite an excursion, since we don’t live by the lake anymore, we drove out to the small one by the main office area of Le Sidobre. On a day where we have more time, I am determined to get out to the ENORMOUS lake that we found, but that’s an hour and a half drive away /:(.

When we went fishing, Gizmo came along, and only got frustrated towards the end of fishing, beginning to moan and growl at the float… he even tried to get closer to the water, by sliding down a steep rock and luckily being saved by a bed of reeds, which just managed to hold him up from getting wet until I shimmied my way down and pushing him back onto the grass.

Another thing that happened with Gizmo when we went fishing, that was absolutely the funniest thing, I’ve yet to see, was that when we went into Le Sidobre’s tourist office, Gizmo came with quite happily, and ran around, sniffing everything he could, whilst we tried finding directions to the closest place that would sell a fishing license.

The lady there, drew out a whole map, then asked where we’d be fishing, we said right there by the lake for an hour or two, and she folded up the map and told us that it would be fine to fish without the license. So we were content about not having to go driving again. Anyway, I walked out of the open glass door and Gizmo followed beside me to run straight, head first into the closed glass door, it was so funny! I thought that only I did that :-P. After a minute of comforting, Gizmo was running around and tail-wagging again :-).

I haven’t got a lot of news, before being in France for a year I want to be speaking French almost fluently, and that includes understanding it as well! So that gives me… 24 days :-P. I’m getting there, yesterday I watched six episodes of “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” in French with French subtitles, to get my ears tuned in, I’ve already watched the French Sopranos, and now my dad’s friend has lent us all of the Buffy series so… Yes, I just don’t feel like watching them again today, so going to go learn more French words once I finish writing this :-).

In a week it’s my sister’s birthday, she’ll be turning 19!! I can’t believe it :-P. So if you want to send me a picture of you kissing a fish for her birthday, that’d be GRRRRREAT! I’m sure she’d appreciate it ;-)… well I would appreciate it :-P.

Sorry this post wasn’t that long, I shall try writing up soon… once I get some news! See you all soon!

Le Sidobre rocks!!

Hey everyone!

I’m extremely ecstatic because I received an e-mail, giving me permission to use a photo :-)! So I have to say, thank you very much to the Guth’s at “Guth’s Lodge” in Alaska for the permission! You can find their website here ---> http://www.guthslodge.com/

This lady was one of their guests, and caught the first of many Silvers that day. She grew up in eastern Europe and lives in the Mideast! She sounds like a “Globe Trekker” like myself :-P.

Thanks again for the permission guys :-)!!

Well recently, we’ve had absolutely gorgeous weather here since Friday! Sunday was a little overcast but the weather’s back on track today! On Friday we went about driving, we did actually go out for a purpose but never quite arrived at our destination /:… You see, we set out to go to “Le Sidobre” but ended up driving around and slowly losing ourselves and our time, within quaint, French villages. Le Sidobre is supposedly a large park, like the French version of “Matopas” in Zimbabwe :-P. Basically, gorgeous scenery with large rocks, defining gravity by their awkward shapes and sizes.

We did actually see some of the rocks and boulders, and even found the Le Sidobre Office, so we got so excruciatingly close, but there were no walkways or cycle paths from there, so we’d obviously been in the wrong area. The little sneak-peaks that we did get from there though were absolutely wonderful! In that area there are forests and little streams everywhere! So since we couldn’t find the main section of what we went looking for, we just drove around, stopping every few minutes so that my mom could take pictures for her photography course.

So, all in all, it was a lovely day! Sure we’ll set out to find Le Sidobre, preferably when the offices are open and with a map on another day!

The poll that I put up last week, has only had 1 vote, but it still counts, so countries is what I shall write about!

Okay I juuust wrote this, literally over the past 10 minutes, so I may make some changes to it later, for now though, I hope you enjoy it, it sounds more like it’s about weather but I did try!

************************************************************
It’s strange to think about how different one place is from another,
Some countries you can lie down in the sun, others you must cover!
Languages and nationalities,
Monuments, so much to see!
Some countries are calm and peaceful,
Others have war and are wasteful,
Snow is rare, where I come from,
We only ever get the sun,
But just a few hours up the road,
Where it’s not by the coast,
Up high in the mountains,
You won’t be seeing flowing fountains,
There will be no sunshine,
The weather is not so kind,
On every single thing, there is no colour,
This is where the snow shall smother,
In Ireland forever it rains,
So much, you could go insane!
Winter in France…
It’s usually overcast,
But when the skies are clear,
And the sun appears,
What a sight it is to see,
This will stay the same, no matter where you’re from, every country.

By Bianca Cassandra P.

************************************************************

Oh when we were driving around, we did find some lovely areas to go fishing, and even saw a few people giving it a shot. So that’ll be fun to do, sadly that day, we didn’t have the fishing gear with us /:, so now we’ve decided to always have it in the car :-).

I’m going to leave you guys, as I have to go do my French :-P. Will be posting again soon!

Plonk! Vroosh! Click!

Hello people!

Sorry that I haven’t written anything for a while, but the truth is that I have absolutely no news whatsoever… how sad >.<.

The good news is that my mom and I went shopping last week and they’re bringing out all of the fishing equipment again! I am really looking forward to that comforting feeling of the fresh outdoors. When I think about the flicking of the wrist and releasing the wire from my grip as it floats seemingly weightless through the air and lands with a soft “Plonk!” and a small splash (hopefully not getting tangled with loose reeds :-P). Then quickly flipping over the metallic piece of the reel in case of that rare occasion that you’ll instantly get a bite. Finally when you do, how the float goes under… or in some cases starts moving around in circles with the smaller brained, dazed fish, who just feels it is safe enough to swim quite naturally with a hook in their lip.

Maybe trying to be cool, thinking it’s an awesome new piercing that came free with the mysterious blob of cheese-like-orange stuff, that just so happened to be floating in their path “Hey dudes, l-hook a’ me!”. Then “Vroosh” they’re gone! Perhaps later they come flying back in… Wow, talk about the scitsofrenic of the day! Fisrt a normal fish, changing into a cool punk, then a vanishing magician, to being a bird… without wings, just beinging thrown back in the general direction of where they came from… or for the more larger, unfortunate fish, meraculously changing into a tasty barbeque… What a day!

Anyway, back to the way we see it! Gloriously relaxing and getting that first tug of the day! Gripping the rod for all it’s worth and putting your complete might into reeling the fishy in. I love it! Not so much though when you get it out of the water, it comes loose and begins to roll down the embankment… this happened to me with what looked like the largest fish that I’ve ever caught, not so surprised that he was too big for the hook, never being caught by anyone and still getting to eat all of our tasty… well rather smelly orange bait. I wouldn’t say that I’m overwhelmed with joy having to touch the fish to get it off the hook though, especially not touching it with my lips :-P.

Well I’ve actually become a lot less squeamish since fishing, when “someone” that I knew, I think they’d prefer if I didn’t name them :-P, caught her first fish she was so upset and yelled for my dad to take it off the hook… when he threw it back, she cried because a scale had come off it… I thought it was rather amusing, but tried my hardest not to show her my thoughts on her squeamish-ness… especially seeing as I refused to put a maggot on the hook earlier on that day :-P…

Yes, so getting back on to the subject of what I was on before I got extremely distracted… Like I was saying, I have no news whatsoever, so I’m going to just write about… well, whatever first pops into my head at this very moment, that seems interesting enough.

Oh! My mom received a camera recently as an “early birthday present”. She’s decided to take up photography so all I’ve been hearing (and seeing) recently, is a faint yet noticeable “Click!” and a flash of light. That lasts just a few seconds but that’s more than enough time to blind someone, trust me! I have had uncountable (155+ :-P) photos taken of me since that thing arrived. Not that I mind of course, unless I’ve only just woken up or am about to go to sleep… Then this is simply impractical and utterly uncomfortable… bright lights are not welcome, during “tired” hours :-P.

Oh! I was just about to forget to put up some more poems, the first one was written in quite a short while actually, the second took longer, which is surprising, since it’s a lot shorter :-P. Okay, I just wrote up both and since I only have one more left decided to just throw it in there as well :-P. Hope you like them, think I’ll put up a poll for you guys to choose what I’ll write my next poem about as well… or you could just post a comment or send me an e-mail about what you want to hear my rhyming thoughts on at kissmyfishy@gmail.com :-).

************************************************************
I saw you that day,
Yet I didn’t know what to say,
I took a deep breathe,
Shut my eyes and turned,
As you came my way,
You just skimmed right by me,
As I watched you walk briskly,
I wondered to myself, could you see?
For I noticed you stop, so very slightly,
A feeling inside, sent me spinning,
So I chased after your footsteps,
I felt like I was in a race, I was the one winning,
As you turned, I was taken aback, breathless, a rush,
For bestowed upon your finger, was the very symbol of trust,
We looked into each others eyes,
I’m sure you could tell I was about to cry,
I believed in love at first sight,
And this felt so strong, even stronger than “might”,
I simply remarked, I’m sorry you’re not the one,
And within an instant, you had nodded, and were gone.

By Bianca Cassandra P.

************************************************************
I sit here all on my own,
Wandering how many days it’s been since you’ve gone,
I watch the moon rise and fall,
Thinking of you, holding back, not wanting to call,
At night I try to fight the tears away,
I would never want you to see me in this way,
What you did that day, no one will ever forget,
You made your poor mother, so very upset,
Pulling the rope, and kicking the chair,
Was there no other way out of here?

By Bianca Cassandra P.

************************************************************
How I wish to be a butterfly,
I say to myself with a sigh,
Able to fly away so easily,
So many different colours, prettier than a bee,
Lifting itself off the ground,
Without a buzz, not a sound,
To be carried away with the air,
Never having a worry or a care,
Even if it only lasts a day,
It must be great, to be free, to play,
From a creepy,
Of a tree,
To an insect of the skies,
Their tiny round eyes,
The delicate dust,
This is definitely a must,
Wings of weightless material,
Then their two, little aerials,
A body so fine,
I want that to be mine!
Six spindly legs,
Skinnier than pegs!
I bet they never thought they’d be able to do this,
To be caught in the winds,
That would be my only wish,
But then I ask myself with glee,
Do they ever wish to be me?

By Bianca Cassandra P.

I thought I’d leave my poems off on a happy note with the butterfly poem. Hope you like them :-)!

Looking forward to hearing from you all soon!
