About You


About You

Your touch is with me always,
It’s burnt into my skin,
As soft and warm as sun rays
When a summer day sets in.

Your soft voice never silent,
It’s forever in my ears,
Serenading every moment
And calming all my fears.

Your arms always enfold me,
The strength of angels wings,
They support and protect me wholly
With the safety a true love brings.

While I can never repay you,
For the wonder you bring to my life,
I can forever be true,
And forever be a true wife.

Apple Surprise

2/24, brooklyn—What was supposed to be a routine apple-picking trip turned into something much more. tanae and adriene went to lil wayne's farm to pick apples. This was a funny sort of farm! To get to the orchard, they rode on a(n) escalade driven by trey songz! tanae and adriene went about picking their apples, and they filled two big bags with the most purple apples they had ever seen.

Suddenly, usher happened to ride by on a(n) tigger and offered to turn the apples into a delicious pie, right there in the orchard. tanae and adriene didn't believe that this was possible, but they agreed. usher told them to close their eyes, and before they knew it, the apples were steaming, hot apple pies. tanae and adriene couldn't believe their eyes! They were so amazed, they ran home and called daily news. When lil wayne was contacted about this matter, a reporter was informed that this “miracle” was “just a really rapidly practical joke”!

Myths- Zeus


He was the supreme ruler of Mount Olympus and of the Pantheon of gods who resided there. Being the supreme ruler he upheld law, justice and morals, and this made him the spiritual leader of both gods and men. Zeus was a celestial god, and originally worshiped as a weather god by the Greek tribes. These people came southward from the Balkans circa 2100 BCE. He has always been associated as being a weather god, as his main attribute is the thunderbolt, he controlled thunder, lightning and rain. Theocritus wrote circa 265 BCE: "sometimes Zeus is clear, sometimes he rains". He is also known to have caused thunderstorms. In Homer's epic poem the Iliad he sent thunderstorms against his enemies. The name Zeus is related to the Greek word dios, meaning "bright".

Weekend post - Legends/ How the Zebra got its Stripes


How the Zebra got its Stripes
by Ginny - aged 12½
Forest City - U.S.A.



Zebras, many years ago were not black and white. They were white.

Some would say that they were a mixture between a white horse, and a donkey or mule.

People at this time were still trying to domesticate (or train) wild horses so they could show them off, and prance around on them since they were so beautiful.

Now zebras were called zebras since they were a bit different from horses, and mules. But it was very difficult to catch, and train a zebra. One day a zebra which was still very young, wondered off into the village. Many people started to stare and whisper about how they would catch it.

The zebra became alarmed, and realized what they would try to do. So he frantically began to run. People started to run inside to get a net to catch the zebra with. He ran and ran. Finally he had an idea.

He found some black paint, and tipped it out of the pot that it was in. It splattered out into little wavy lines. So he rolled in it until his body was covered with black stripes. He did this thinking that it would make him ugly.

The people of the village finally found him, and realized what he had done to himself. They didn't think that he was pretty any more since he had black blurry stripes all over him. So they let him go.

Soon all zebras did that so that people would leave them alone. Then gradually they didn't need too. Zebras started to be born like that except they were beautiful.

The End.
