In the winter mornings, you are cold and not fun at 6 am
Tiring exhausting after 3 hours of back and forth flip push 
We get out and stand on the blocks for to jump in and swim to the middle
We push ourselves for you back and forth for 100- 100s or 6.25 miles 
Water polo the fun things we do twice a year
We hop out just come back tomorrow 
Just to go back and fourth
The renovated you form the old “donjon” to some thing we want to jump in
We get out just to come back tomorrow

Loves to cross country ski
Over the hills she goes
Barking and laughing thru the snow
Trees to slide around
Watch out for branches bound
Suzi waves to the postman
He is delivering pots and pans
Gliding by the ice rink
Stopping for a fountain drink
On her way home
Ends her day writing a poem

We splash and play 
I dive to the bottom           
Moving into a backstroke 
Making the breast stroke 
In the pool lanes     
Nothing feels better than water 
Grow stronger go faster

Dropping it at my feet
Barking at the sound of my drill
As he ran up the drive
He dances in front of my face
Wanting the donut
 
Out the door on a hot day
My dog dives in cool water
As happy as a clam
Drinking up the waves
Back on dry land

During the study of poetry and OOTD, what have I learned as a reader of poetry?              Books don’t haft to be traditional the can be wrighten different and can be unique to the author
·       2. What have I learned about writing poetry?       Poets are all sorts of people and can wright how there heart desires.
·       3. One thing I struggled with was: finding things to wright about that would be relevent
·       4. I feel like my best poem is the one titled... ode   because...           it flows with my personality
5. One thing I really like about writing poetry is...                    it gives you freedom to wright what you want and with regular papers you cant leave the reader hanging

But I don’t
I could have all A’s
But I don’t
I could be a perfect student 
But I’m not
No one is perfect and no one  is going to get everything in and do everything PERFECT
I could do all my things on time 
But I HAVE A LIFE
