We all know what poetry is due to my last weekend post about poetry. Poerty can be for anything such as holidays , birthdays , society , and more. This week was Earth day. Poets have made poems on days like these and I am going to recite one. My poem is by another author. Earth day is celebrarated on April 22 in the US and is a day to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earths enviroment. The first Eath day was created in 1970. You can find numerous poems on Earth Day Poetry website. I find the poem Earthd Day a very cute poem that helps me understand the meaning of Earth Day. It describes what you see in the world and just paints the global picture for me! Another good website is Earth Day Activities which presents numerous campaigns and activites and / or programs that have to do with Earth Day. There is a climate decaration for this Earth Day! You can find out more on the website.

Weekend Post : Storytelling and Poetry
Over the spring break , my teacher , Ms.Ford gave me an assignment to read a book called Coraline. This book is written by Neil Gaiman. It is about a little girl named Coraline who discovers a secret door in one of the flats of her giant house. Coraline who is an explorer took an adventure in this room after her mom went to the supermarket for food. It turns out there is this fliped dimension where Coraline has this other mom , dad , dog , Forcible , Spink , and Mr.Bobo. Coralines other mom who is evil tries to keep Coraline in her world and give her whatever she likes. Coraline has to find a way to get her real parents back and get rid of the other mom forever. When she gets back to the real world all that is left is other mom's hand. Coraline tricks that scary looking hand into the forbidden well her father took her to as a little girl. I reccomend Coraline and if you want to find out more about it you can go to this link Coraline. It is sold on amazon and avialable in your libraries.
