Cross Country Skiing Haiku









Author's note :  This haiku poem is about a memory I have from Christmas break about the time I went cross country skiing with my grandpa and my brother. 



Cross country skiing up north
Gliding through the snow in Papa’s forest
Winter fun with my family

high heels are dangerous

 Author's note : high heels stink



Oh hello, I am Rachel Ward.  Many people wear high heals to be stylish or taller.  Women, children and sometimes even men wear high heals.  Shoes are considered to have high heels when the heal is four inches or more.  Even though many people wear high heals, I feel that they may be dangerous or harmful to your health.     

Heels this high are dangerous because you could fall and hurt yourself.  The heel could also break off and cause you to fall down or break your leg or sprang your ankle.  Your feet need to be flat on the ground to keep your balance.  It is also harmful to your feet to be wearing heals all day.   High heals cause your feet to be bent upward which can injure them.

High heals can also damage someone else's feet. If your high heal steps on someone else's foot or toe it can break their foot or toe.  As you can see, high heals can really be dangerous to you and other people.

oscar

Author's note : Oscar is a clumsy dog


Hello, my name is Rachel. Let me tell about my dog named Oscar. He is two years old and a pure breed black lab. Oscar is  full grown  and weighs a lot, about 63 pounds. Oscar is a clumsy dog. He even ran in to a glass door because he thought it was open. My brother told me that Oscar fell down when he did that.  I thought that Oscar would be dazed and unsteady on  his paws. He looked around to see if anyone was looking at him . Me and my brother and sister thought it was funny. It proves that Oscar is a clumsy dog

the Nintendo 3 DS system

  Author's note:  i am a Nintendo 3 DS system

Hi , I am a Nintendo 3DS system . I sat on a shelf everyday at Best Buy .The routine was  the same everyday until Mrs.Ward bought me. She brought me into her house , took me to the basement and hid me.  Several days later she returned to the basement and I felt her  wrapping me in Santa paper. Then she put me under the tree  on Christmas Eve.

On Chirstmas morning  my wrapping was torn and I was naked. The girl  who got me  was so surprised and happy. Her name is Rachel .She is the nicest person I know.  Rachel  is nice because she cares for me.  Also she would never do anything that would harm  me.  Rachel plays with  me so much.   I am a Nintendo 3DS system and I had  very long journey just to get to Rachel but it has  been fun so far

Real Chirstmas Trees Rule

 Author's note: real trees rule


A Christmas tree should should be real.  I have a real tree every year on Christmas.  Fake trees may last longer than real trees but real trees are full of life.  Real trees make my home much prettier than any fake tree would.  Real trees help people make money .   They do this by growing little baby tress many years earlier to become Christmas  trees and selling them.  These trees are then decorated with lights, ornaments and finally the star on top. Pine trees can be a hybrid in order to make a tree that won’t lose it’s needles.  Pine trees also smell better than plastic fake trees.  If a fake tree is thrown away, it is harmful to the environment.  But when a real tree is thrown away it can be chipped up and used to make wood chips.  So as you can see, I think for many reasons that real Christmas trees are better than fake Christmas trees.

Girls vs. Boys in Grades

 Author's note: girls get better grades


In my opinion, I think that girls get better grades and are smarter than boys. I believe that because girls work harder than boys, they get better grades. I also believe that girls study more and pay attention more than boys. Because boys make silly noises with their laptops and goof off during class, they study study less and get bad grades.  I observe how boys behave during the day and what they do in class and this is why I think that girls get better grades than boys.

Ketchup is Not a Smoothie...and a Tomato is Not a Fruit!

 Author's note: tomatoes are not a fruit


I’m here to make things clear, a tomato is not a fruit and ketchup is not a smoothie!  Some people think that tomatoes are fruit because they are soft and they grow above the ground.  They are used in cooking like a vegetable would be used in cooking.  Tomatoes are also used to make ketchup.  The vegetables would blended like a smoothie  to make the ketchup but you would never drink ketchup.  No one in their right mind would drink ketchup like they would a smoothie.  Fruits are used to make smoothies but you never use a tomato to make a smoothie.  Therefore, tomatoes must be a vegetable and not a fruit.
