Love Songs

by Sara Teasdale

Tides

Love in my heart was a fresh tide flowing
When the starlike sea gulls sour;

The sun was keen and the foam was blowing
high on the rocky shore.

But now in the dusk the tide is turning,

Lower the sea gulls soar, And the waves that rose in
resistless yearning

And broken forevermore. (pg 35)

Jellyfish

I have been making Jellyfish lately. Once I have enough and the upstairs bathroom is painted I am going to hang them from the ceiling. Giving us an underwater theme.

Olive Kitteridge

by Elizabeth Strout


She showed him the library... He looked at the books, and she wanted to say, "Stop that," as though he were reading her diary. (pg. 215)



~I sometimes feel this way too.

Seagulls

It was clear,
bright
and blue.
Seagulls caught my eye.
Bathing in the sun.

Sarah's Key

by: Tatiana De Rosnay


Her tears washed the image of his face away. She cried into her palms, alone. Her father did not touch her. In those awful, lonely minutes, the girl understood. She was no longer a happy little ten-year-old girl. She was someone much older. Nothing would ever be the same again. For her. For her family. For her brother. (pg. 57)

The Clarence Principle

by: Fehed Said


I always thought that birds would end up in heaven. In my mind, if you were born a bird, you were blessed. They were the only ones who could touch the sky. They had wings...like angles.
