My father is the hurricane,
knocking anything and everybody out of his path.

My mother is the sunshine after the storm (my father),
clearing and calming everything else.

My oldest brother is the sand,
kicked and blown away by my dad,
but warmed with care by my mom.

My oldest sister is the breeze in the wind,
cool, quiet, and there when you need her.

My other two brothers are the stingrays,
dangerous,
but also willing to fight anyone who comes along.

And I,
I am an old ship at the bottom of the sea, 
lost, abandoned, but full of memories."

They are comparing ocean things and features to their family.]]> 2017-09-27 14:58:24 UTC https://padlet.com/becky_hayden/xyunwhf27wpq/wish/191705362 Metaphor Zander https://padlet.com/becky_hayden/xyunwhf27wpq/wish/191705379 Gone
"Trust is a shiny crystle sheet of glass
Not some thing to take advantige of
It's not like a little girl's pigtail doll
That when her brother tears it's head off
Can easily be replaced
When you break someone's trust
You almost never get it back
It disappears down a road of no return
And it's something that never missed 
Until its cracked
Shattered 
Gone"

"A book is an open flower,scented pages, fragrant hours
a crafty fox,surprising in it's clever plots
a fairy's wings,with princesses,enchanted kings
a windowsill where breezy thoughts are never still
an hour glass whose  pages flow as hours pass
a lock and key that opens doors and sets minds free
an ancient clock that speaks the times but never talks
an open letter when read again the friendship's better 
an apple core with seeds inside for growing more
a trusted friend that keeps it's secret  till the end."

It’s Spring by John Foster

It’s spring

And the garden is changing its clothes,

Putting away

Its dark winter suits,

Its dull scarves

And drab brown overcoats.



This is a personification poem and its saying when its spring the garden putes on new clothes.
