My Amazing Adventure - A Story From Lilliput
It was an eventful day...
On my way to the town,
I tripped and almost broke my crown.
Oh no! It was not fine!
A chill went down my spine.
Lifting up my head...
A hand I thought I saw,
Or was it just an animal's paw?
I went to take a closer look
And to my horror, the "thing" shook!
It was breathing...
It was warm...
It was very much ALIVE!
The wildest thought went through my mind!
A place to hide, I tried to find.
Arrgh... ...
It was an oversized creature in human form!
An unknown Lilliputian
Imagine you were the first Lilliputian to discover Man Mountain. Write a personal recount to tell your friends what you saw and did.

Is the Moon Tired?
While we were learning to enjoy poetry in our English lessons and exploring the Solar System in our Science lessons, I stumbled upon this beautiful poem...
Is the Moon Tired?
Is the moon tired? She looks so pale
Within her misty veil:
She scales the sky from east to west,
And takes no rest.
Before the coming of the night
The moon shows papery white;
Before the dawning of the day
She fades away.
-Christina Rossetti

Inspiration
I read the poem NOISE yesterday and was inspired... I don't like noise but...
I like quiet...
...
I like quiet...
...
Quiet
I like quiet.
In the quietness of the day,
I hear the singing of joyful jay,
Rustling of leaves in the forest green,
Whispering of wind... a stroll, I'm always keen
Nature sings a harmonious tune,
Having the peace of God- my greatest fortune
I like quiet.
...
"... in quietness and confidence shall be your strength." Isaiah 30:15
...
5 PEACE, you are
...
Precious- the apple of God's eye
Extraordinary- special... wonderfully and skilfully made
Amiable- for the love of God is shed in your hearts
Courageous- for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go
Enthusiastic- passionate to learn and excel
...
"Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John14:27
