Art is beautiful

it is full

of fun and color

it’s like no other.

lots of shapes,

and sizes.

even value,

and design.

more elements

such as

form, line,

space, and texture.

Art can even be

two – or three – dimensional.

flat or limited,

to height and width.

To be me 
It's a roller coaster 
I am as slow as a sloth 
Would want to become a doctor.

My parrots name is Bella, 
She is a little fella. 
I also have 3 sisters,
Their such a crazy pack.

I enjoy traveling the world, 
because its such a puzzle. 
My favorite colors lavender,
Its such a pretty color.

Enjoy helping the environment, 
because its a movement. 
Someone needs to help,
But have fun being me.

I once had a dream

It was such a gleam

It was like fire in my eye

that gave me a pinkeye.

But not to worry

I never say sorry,

because that is my dream

that i am going to achieve

Life has obstacles

but we gain better muscles.

In order to achieve it

we must believe it.

A dream is a dream

but can be done, too.

Just keep on dreaming

to succeed it.

There was once a small French parrot

that was the color of a carrot.

It was raised in France

and grew in a bounce.

So I guess it wasn’t a small french parrot.

Animals are dying

Forests are burning

Virus’s are starting

People are dying.

What have we done

What can we do

Can we even help

With something.

Would this ever stop

Can it stop

Should we help

Or should we not.

Soon animals will

be gone.

And we will

be gone, too.

In high school

i’m gonna be a scholar

and i’m gonna holla

without a single fool.

I’m gonna get my work done

and then go have some fun.

Work like a freak

so i don’t break a beak.

I’m really nice

so lets go get some ice.

and if your really mean

go get yourself a bean.

I hope its really fun

or else i’ll have a run.

And if its a bun,

I’ll go get myself some sun.

I have a dream

to be wealthy,

buy a nice car and

get my dream pets.

Not only do

i have these dreams

but everyone else does too.

But first things first, is to graduate.

After we graduate

we get our career.

Many want to do this too,

but also to enjoy life.

 J- enna was the kind of insatiable child reader who had no choice but to grow up to become a writer. 

     E- ither she’s writing or chasing her children and making elaborate messes in the kitchen.  

     N- avigated her way in Florence, Italy, her high school years, driving a scooter. 

     N- ever had enough gelato from Florence, Italy, and loved dancing in fountains.  

     A- nd she currently now lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, with her husband and two young children. 

Worst News

Oh mother,  

     Life was great with you here. 

     One day we are out having fun, 

     And the next day we find out the worst news.  

     Your about to leave my side and I won’t see you again.  

     Remembering those times, we used to sing karaoke in the car makes me sad  

     Because now all we can do is look/ talk to each other  

     While your laying in the hospital, about to die. 

What’s To Come

You are gone now   

     Cancer has taken you.  

     You wanted me to go to Italy. 

     So, what do I do now? 

     Here I am in Italy  

     Scared of what’s to come 

     People I’ve never met before. 

     They say it’s my home. 

A New Friend

Here in Italy 

     I have a so-called dad  

     I haven’t met in 16 years. 

     I live in a cemetery, 

     And had no friends.  

     I say I had no friends, 

     Because now I do  

     I met Ren on top of a mountain on my morning run.  

     Rens a hero, 

     He’s been taking  

     Me almost everywhere  

     and helping me find out  

     The surprising news in my mother’s journal. 

     And trying to find out if this so-called  

     Father of mine is my father. 

Final Thoughts

So, it turns out my so-called father (Howard), 

     Isn’t my father. 

     Some guy named Mateo is. 

     But he’s a whole liar. 

     After reading my mother’s journal,  

     I found out some bad and sad things about her  

     And Mateo’s relationship,  

     And who Howard really was. 

     And me and Ren are together now after all our drama  

    With his ex-girlfriend and after accidentally kissing him, 

     After my breakdown from meeting Mateo. 

     I’m also officially staying in Italy

Decisions  

Make choices 

Do the right thing  

Dig deeper to find the truth

Love & Gelato

     Love & Gelato was a very suspenseful and sad book. 

     It thought the reader how to never glance or skim  

     Through an object,  

     But to dig deeper into it.  

     You can never just glance 

     At something and decide.
