Trees

Here's some more art!

I ain't no spelling wiz

People I have a confession to make.

I suck at spelling. Horribly.
It's been one of those things that I've always struggled with, and it embarrasses the heck out of me.
It's super sad when I can't even get spell checker to understand what I'm writing. (Sometimes I have to write another word then pull down the little synonyms bar to find the word I've been trying, for like 15 minutes to write.)

Is it because we now have technology to save us from our neglect of spelling?
Is bad spelling going to grow into a pandemic because the computers can do it for us?
Maybe spelling will die out like cursive did. (Learned it in like, 2nd grade... never used it again...)
I mean most people write like they text.
LOL.    

Poem wizards

Man I was reading some of the poems that Mr. Nelson put a link to and I have to agree with him. On turning ten by Billy Collins was by far the best.

That poem is totally amazing! How the words work together to make such a beautiful poem. Wish I had that talent, or at lest Billy Collins style!

My favorite line is
"... A kind of measles of the spirit, a mumps of psyche, a disfiguring chicken pox of the soul..."
This line is perfect, nails the mood right on the head.

Shark

 My niece: Hey, you.

Family friend: Yeah?

My niece: Your a shark, right?

Family friend: Uh, yeah?

My niece: Then eat my leg.

Kids, they say the funniest things.
