Rain falls On the ground Drip Drip Splash

Hail comes down And turns into water Drip Drip Splash

Snows comes down And starts to melt Drip Drip Splash Ice Skating When I first went on the ice I felt like I was falling over. I was so incapable because it was my very first time to go on and ice skates. I was feeling like… aaaaah but also good so I did not scream. I stayed at the edge holding onto the wall. As I became more brave, I went away from the wall. It made me happy that my friends Tinelle and Callie helped me to go in the middle. I wasn’t sure about this. It was really really cool! When I went in the middle. I fell over a few times, that was not good. But then I fell over again and then I got the hang of it. I could do it by myself. The ice was so tricky the most difficult thing was when I looked on the ground. It feels like I would get frozen. I was not that cold because I had my new jacket on. And on the ice it was shivering cold. It was so big that lots of people could come and more than one hundred did. I did not want to go off it because it was my very first time on it but I knew that I will go there again. The call came and we had to get off. But I wished that we could go and stay there for another 10 minutes. I did not want to so we had to get off the ice but it was time to go back to school. When I went off the ice it felt like skate was stuck to the ground. I took it off and said, “OUCH! I hurt myself.” A small bump had hit my heel. So I gently pulled the shoe off and the pain when away. I had a good time coming back to school because Tinelle and other people including my buddy’s came and talked to me. That was so fun!

I smell the burning of the houses I smell the tears of loss I touch the homes instead of fear. I touch the wood where everyone sits The feel the carts as they all gather around. I feel the houses cosily. I taste the smoke when they throw in wood. I taste

I see the mouton up above where snow hits,

I see the guns flowing away O my what a busy place to be.
