  • The Beach


    For the Fourth of July I go to Seattle to my Grandma and Grandpa's beach house. I get to see all my cousins and most of them are 3-6 years old. During the day you can go to these big firework tents and my uncles get so many fireworks.
  • The Woman

     I remember walking home from school one day with my best friend. We were having a funny conversation, and we were both really happy. When we had walked about half of what we were supposed to walk, this woman came out of her house. 
  • Dreaming


    I have had the same dream before. This dream was me walking around outside and then all of a sudden I fell in a big hole like Alice in Wonderland, but I just kept falling. When I am falling I feel butterflies in my stomach.
  • Why?

    I witness injustices often now. How come when we learned about the thirteenth ammendment they just "forgot" to mention how it turned the prison system into slavery?
  • The Silver Maple

    I just love the silver maple. The tree is not too tall nor too small, it is the perfect height for anyone to climb. I personally love the tree because when I am there it makes me relax and it just lets me think to myself.
  • The Tree


    The tree

    It sits outside 

    my window

    A big and 

    glorious tree

    It shimmers in the winter 

    And blooms in the summer

    But it's not just any old tree

    It’s my tree
  • Bathtub In the Woods


    It was a late summer day when 9 year old Gabe stumbled across the off-putting bathtub. After Gabe “devoured” as his mom would say, half a watermelon, Gabe ran back into the eerie woods on the warm summer afternoon.
  • the endless void

    I was walking in the woods, It was just a normal afternoon. It was a normal thing I would do, but I think I went too far. It started to get dark. I turned around to head back...but it didn’t look the same.
