Wings of Fire- The Dragonet Prophecy

When the war has lasted twenty years,
The dragonets will come.
When the land is soaked in blood and tears, 
Tsunami
The dragonets will come. 

Find the SeaWing egg of deepest blue.
Wings of night will come to you.
The largest egg in mountain high
Will bring to you the wings of sky.
For wings of earth, search through the mud 
For an egg the color of dragon blood.
And hidden alone from the rival queens
The SandWing egg awaits unseen.
Sunny

Of three queens who blister and blaze and burn,
Clay
Two shall die and one shall learn
If she bows to a power stronger and higher,
She'll have the power of wings of fire.

Five eggs to hatch on the brightest night,
Five dragons born to end the fight,
Darkness will rise to bring the night,
The dragonets are coming... 

       Ever since the death of Queen Oasis, her daughters, Blister, Blaze, and Burn, have fought over the SandWing throne. Then a NightWing utters a prophecy, and everything changes. The eggs are taken, but Burn, suspicious of prophecies, breaks the SkyWing egg. The anti-war effort, the Talons of Peace, take an egg from the RainWings instead. RainWings are prejudiced against because they have no known natural weapons except camouflage and sleep almost all the time. Six years later, Clay the MudWing is very bighearted but not the best fighter against their trainer Kestrel, a SkyWing with strange burn scars. Of his friends, Tsunami the SeaWing is the best fighter, as well as very rebellious. Starflight the NightWing's mind reading and divination powers haven't come yet, but he makes up for it by knowing every piece of knowledge he's ever read. Sunny the SandWing is kind and honest, but her scales are darker than other SandWings, her eyes are too light, and she is missing her barbed tail, a SandWing's greatest natural weapon. Glory the RainWing studies and trains the hardest of them all, but the teachers are still prejudiced against her. One night, Tsunami makes a plan to break them out of the mountain they've always lived in. Clay wants to see the world, but he is worried about their teachers' retaliation. And however mean their teachers might be, they don't want to kill them. That can't be said about the other dragons in the world.

The High King

Taran is not an Assistant Pig-Keeper bent on becoming a fearsome warrior any more. He is now the friend of Prince Gwydion, warleader of the House of Don; Princess Eilonwy, fierce princess who happens to find herself in on almost every adventure; Gurgi, monstorous ally with a softer side; and Fflewdur Flam, reluctant king and unofficial bard who often "gives a little more color to the facts". But one day, when Gwydion shows up dying with his magical sword, Dyrnwen, missing, fooled by an incredibly realistic illusion of Taran, they realize that only one has the power to change his shape: Arawn, lord of death.

Eight Keys

Elise has two dead parents, a bully for a lockermate, and eight mysterious doors in the upper story of her aunt and uncle's (modern-tech, as of early 21st century, when the story is set) barn. Her aunt and uncle love her like they would the child(ren) they never had. Her classmate Amanda always drops her books on top of her lunch, but the teacher never cares, it's always "just an accident", day after day after day. One day, she discovers a mysterious key, and realizes that there is a mystery around her. She must unlock the past to ready for the future.

Poetry map

Great vegetables and tall plants in bloom                            Let all the troubles you have go,                  
At Logan, gardening is a true enjoyment.                            It calls: the call of a book.  
Red strawberries, yellow sunflowers, green stalks,             Bring on the fantasy, poetry,
Do it right, and these greet you.                                           Ready the nonfiction.
Even if it's not perfect, it's natural.                                       And if you have to research,
No artificial beauty can compete,                                         Readily tear through the books
In a cooking class, it will taste divine.                                 You are in the right spot.
Nourishing a plant makes you happier
Go and plant a garden!

Limerick Blog

There once was a poem called a limerick
Who talked pompoms and poodles and proteins that are trimeric
The poems might be full of floccinaucinihilipilifacations
But they have gone through acclimatizations
Even if they're written by a nudnik.

Free Verse Poem

                                                                           I am surrounded
                                                          By that which I love
                      The days I could spend, and look through
      All in this room, and never find the last
Of it.
But I could go, and go learn, learn all there is in here, and enjoy myself forever.
I could enjoy the books of stated fact, of answers true and bold, for all to know.
I could listen to encouragement, the real, true lives of those that faced a challenge.
And overcame it, or I could hear the news of discoveries and new scientific facts.
And maybe I could listen to the legends, of dragons and wardrobes and magic rings.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Seven years ago, Harry Potter was just an orphaned kid getting bullied by his cousin. He didn't know he had magical powers, or even that his parents didn't die in a car crash. Now he is a powerful young wizard who is out to  get revenge on the corrupted Ministry of Magic, avenge his parents, and destroy the evil Lord Voldemort with the help of friends Ron and Hermione. He knows Voldemort's secret: he has split his soul and placed the parts in a collection of objects called Horcruxes. He knows it will probably kill him, but he has already reconciled with himself the fact that he will probably die. Ron and Hermione know that too, and are fighting with a hope they will see the sun rise in a peaceful sky.
