Extra Credit Tanka: Childhood

Childhood is going
Somewhere far far far away
I am sad and glad
All the memories I had
Now I guess its not that bad

Haiku: Change

Leaves turning purple
Everything changing fast
Life's normal rhythm

The Cabin

1 Up north.
2 These two words mean so much.
3 Trout lake.
4 My childhood wraped up into one bunch.
5 The great big fire
6 so warm and bright,
7 the stars in the sky
8 so bright at night.
9 Family and friends,
10 completely content.
11 Together story sharing,
12 Pancakes in the morning.

The Ocean

1 The Ocean,
2 the ocean,
3 the ocean.
4 The ocean waves crash on to the shore!
5 Over and
6 over again
7 smooth bright blue water
8 covered with rough white caps
9 towering over each other.
10 It is like a fight,
11 a fight to the top.
12 Which wave is the most grand?
13 Which one will make it the farthest up the sand?
14 So I sit here and imagine
15 the ocean's waves abstract pattern.
