The 'like as' Poem

Snow is like a soft white kitten

Snow is as white as a white kitten

It feels soft as a cotton ball

Snowflakes fall as quietly as a snoring baby

It feels as cold as ice

on my tongue it taste

like a nice cold glass of water

when it has fallen I can play with it. ©LPI

The Jungle

The jungle became eerie as darkness fell. There was a Very heavy smell, which reminded me of cow manure in the countryside. The deeper I traveled into the jungle's depths, the stronger and worse it became. Inside my stomach, i experienced the feeling of a lump hitting the lining of my tummy. This discomfort increased. My fears increased. Now I wish I wouldn't have had this accident.

It all began when I was exploring the jungle depths from an airplane. Suddenly, the engines sputtered, I was out of oil. The plans was going down a mile a minute. I hit the ground and flames surrounded me. Determined to escape, I crawled out into the muddy soil. It felt like quicksand. I thought I was sinking. I started analyzing my plans for escape. I heard a roar behind me and I was on the run.

I began to follow footprints in the soil. I was traveling further and further into the jungle depths.

suddenly, the roars subsided and the jungle was quieted. I turned only to find myself staring into the large, white beady eyes.

Panicking i ran smack into a tree. Half-conscious and aware I ran into another tree.

I was doomed. Slowly, what appeared as hours it approached me. Spying a brush behind me, I attempted to dodge by diving into it. The animal became infuriated. It darted toward the brush. Escaping its furiosity, I rolled smack into the tree again.

When I became conscious, animals were enclosing in on me. They were going to eradicate me. I could now panic this was the time. It was my last chance.

I boldly jumped up trying to scare the animals away. Sweat was now streaming down my back. With tears in my eyes, I yelled an impotent scream. The animals didn't budge. I knew it was the end, the came closer and closer. I screamed. I tried to run. I fell over my foot. The animals snapped of my head. And now, I roam the jungle.

((the assignment was to use the spelling words, create a word and write a scary story...)

Funny how things turn around

Words are very powerful.  Translations and interpretations run rapid.  Have you ever experienced a pronunciation of a word that changed depending on where or with whom you spoke? 

Let's just take on example:  advertisement....how many pronunciations and meanings does it have?

How about vandalism=spray paint or signs and pictures=graffiti=graffiti art=street art=murals=commissioned works of art on a wall or side of a building=commissioned art around town?

What words have you seen change during the course of time?  Who comes to mind with each type?

Words and Art= Power and self-expression=create change.....

Life is a Journey

 Life is a journey.  Treasure each and every moment.  Today while watching tv. I heard someone quote a boxer "Joe H" .  The quote said "I have been knocked down and out many times but the one that really matters is the fact that I got back up."  Now if I am correct that came from the show "V".  So get up!  

WoW!  What a revelation.  Which one matters for you getting knocked down or getting up and winning?

Original Poem (Intellectual property of Sy Smith)

                                        Dwellers of the Unknown City

Dwellers of the unknown city

hoping searching but lost in pity

to them the sky holds no limit

but reaching there only takes minutes.

Greed is the root to all evil

taught here in the uncivilized unknown city
