Have you Ever Wondered


Have you Ever Wondered 

by Amelia Ott and Audrey Arnold


Have you ever wondered,

As you lay in bed at night,

If a monster was waiting

To give you a fright?


Have you ever wondered,

what might lie underneath,

How big, how scary,

Or how many teeth?


Have you ever wondered

What it eats for lunch?

Have you ever wondered

If it would grab you to munch?


Have you ever wondered 

What chaos a monster might bring?

Despair? Destruction? 

Or something not so mean?


Could a monster be friendly?

Unlike in many books?

Or can a monster only

Be judged by it's looks?


Have you ever wondered 

If appearances mislead?

For what you find in the heart

Is all you really need.

The Stump

  The Stump by Amelia Ott I used to be so tall. Now I am quite small. Birds used to land atop my head. Now all my leaves are gone and dead. Critters used to call me home, But now I am all alone. There are no green things to be found. I now lay huddled, close to the ground. I used to host a hive of bees, Along with many other trees. Now all the bees have moved away; To find another tree to stay. I used to dance along with the wind, I used to gracefully bow and bend. Now I just sit here all day long, Without my leaves' rustling song. So I'll remember the days that used to be, When I was a tall and mighty tree. -Amelia

Book Review: Anne of Greene Gables

Image
               "Anne of Green Gables" is a great classic about a young orphan named Anne. Anne is very imaginative and has the habit of sucking people in to her imaginary world. She has lots of interesting adventures, most of which teach her some valuable lessons. You'll laugh and cry along with Anne as she finds out what it's like to have a real home.       Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert decided to adopt an orphan, more specifically a boy; a nice sturdy one to help work out in the fields and such. Instead, they got a girl, a talkative, daydreaming redheaded girl. But over time, not only the Cuthberts, but all of Green Gables grew fond of Anne and her lively, passionate spirit.     I loved this book for three reasons. The first reason is because of how surprisingly captivating the book was. When I first picked up the book, I did not expect that I would have a hard time putting it down, yet I was pleasantly surprised. I found that while I was busy I couldn't wait unt

The House

Image
  The House by Amelia Ott When I was first made, In me, a couple stayed. Then before I knew, I watched as their family grew. I witnessed a baby's first steps, As it laughed, and as it wept. I was shelter during a hurricane. I've withstood wind, and I've encountered rain. I've seen happiness, and I've seen grief. I've hosted streamers, and I've hosted wreaths. I watched as the couple grew old, And soon enough, I was sold.  And though it grieves me to this day, As I watched that couple drive away, And though they left me all alone, I'll wait for another to call me home. -Amelia
