Hey guys! I finally got my blog up and running again! It's been almost a full year since I last posted! If you haven't noticed already, I have deleted a lot of posts. I have done so because I realized that I was just posting the same thing over and over again. My blog is much better now, and is a lot easier to read. I hope to post a lot more often, and provide you with stories that will make you laugh, cry, and everything in between.
Sincerely, Rose Star *

The Great Dark Owl
Here is a poem I wrote one night. It's about a spooky owl. I hope you enjoy it!
Have you seen the great dark owl,
who always bears an ugly scowl?
No one can bear his menacing stare,
that he casts down the long, dark, hall.
Have you seen the great dark owl,
who always bears an ugly scowl?
He never hoots, but always shoots
his shadow down the hall.
Have you seen the long, black, shadow,
he casts along the floor?
It never moves, not even a bit.
Yet it still strikes fear
into all who enter it.
Have you seen the dark owl's face,
with not one feather out of place?
It has big, round, eyes that never blink.
And furry eyebrows, across his face they slink.
Do beware the great, dark, owl
who always bears an ugly scowl.
Do beware its long, black, shadow
that never, ever, fears a thing.
But most of all, beware the owl's face,
with no one feather out of place.
Have you seen the great dark owl,
who always bears an ugly scowl?
No one can bear his menacing stare,
that he casts down the long, dark, hall.
Have you seen the great dark owl,
who always bears an ugly scowl?
He never hoots, but always shoots
his shadow down the hall.
Have you seen the long, black, shadow,
he casts along the floor?
It never moves, not even a bit.
Yet it still strikes fear
into all who enter it.
Have you seen the dark owl's face,
with not one feather out of place?
It has big, round, eyes that never blink.
And furry eyebrows, across his face they slink.
Do beware the great, dark, owl
who always bears an ugly scowl.
Do beware its long, black, shadow
that never, ever, fears a thing.
But most of all, beware the owl's face,
with no one feather out of place.

The Duct-Tape Wallet
The Duck-Tape Wallet
By: Rose Star
Once, there was a small wallet.
And in that wallet, sat no more than a pound.
He lived in a shoemaker’s pocket,
and never made one little sound.
He wasn’t made of fine leather,
Or decorated in fine little jewels.
He was only made rough duct tape,
Tape that had been chewed on by mules.
Now, the shoemaker’s pets,
I think you can guess,
Were very sloppy, old, mules.
Yet the shoemaker loved them,
Quite like his own children,
And pet them, every night.
But then one night,
After closing up shop,
As the shoemaker was walking home,
His wallet fell out,
And it wanted to shout,
But realized it had no mouth.
It hit the ground,
Without making a sound.
And to his dismay,
It was nowhere near day,
So he silently laid there all night.
Then somewhere near dawn,
He had finally drawn,
A conclusion of where he was.
He was next to a tree,
And also a bee,
And a candle that bore no light.
He could not see a shop,
With a big shoe on top,
Or a shoemaker inside it’s window.
As time went on,
When the bee was gone,
He felt there was something missing.
For there on the ground,
Laid the only pound,
That the shoemaker had put inside him.
But the wallet was smart,
So he decided to start,
Inching his way to the coin.
But as he looked up,
He saw in a cup,
A bird, not much bigger than him.
Then the bird swooped down,
And landed on the ground.
She said, “Hey look what I found!
“Why are you, yes I mean you,
Just laying here on the ground?”
Then all of a sudden,
On that old wallet,
Appeared a tiny mouth.
The wallet replied weackly,
“ Oh, please can you help me?
I’m terribly, terribly alone.
My shoemaker dropped me,
And then kept on walking.
Can you help me get home?”
The bird replied,
“I think I can try,
I know where the shoemaker lives.
I’ll carry you and your money,
Over the mountain of honey,
And leave you on his night stand.”
“Man, that sounds great!
But can you make,
It all of the long way home?”
The wallet had said,
While nodding his head.
“What about his bed?”
Then the bird said,
“ok, that works,
I’ll drop you off on his bed.”
“Great! Let’s go,
But don’t be slow!
I’m a wallet, you know,
And I’m never slow!”
So the two set out,
And gave a small shout,
To a bee that was flying by.
But along the way,
To their dismay,
It started to rain.
“Oh, what a shame,”
Said the bird very plain,
“ we’ll have to stop here ,
Oh dear! Oh dear!”
“Don’t worry,”
Said the wallet,
Just look where we are.
We aren’t very far,
From the shoemaker’s car!!!”
Then the bird sang a song,
That’s not very long.
“Hooray, hooray!
What a very happy day!”
Then all of a sudden,
The sky turned bright blue!
And then they both shouted, “Woo hoo! Woo hoo!
So they went on their way,
Without stopping to play.
And got to the shoemaker’s home,
Before the end of the day.
When they got to his home,
The shoemaker was there.
And what a suprise!!!
He was doing his hair!!
When he saw the bird,
He loved it so,
So the shoemaker decided,
He didn’t have to go.
He kept the bird,
As one of his pets.
And he never lost
His wallet again.
The end.

On maple Tree Lane
On Maple Tree Lane
There once was a cat, who lived with a bat. That cat and that bat lived in a cave, because both of them were very brave. They lived in a cave in the end of the street of Maple Tree Lane. One day that cat got bored, so he climbed the tree, out in their yard. From there he saw something shiny, on top of the cave. So he jumped as far as he could, and reached the top of the cave. He found that the shiny thing was a penny, from a human named Betty. Then he saw on a house, just across the street, an even bigger shiny thing. So he jumped, and made it up on that roof.
There he saw a piece of metal about the size of a screw. So now he had a penny, and a screw. Then he looked around, and up on the mountain, there was a cliff. On that cliff way up high, something glowed very brightly. So the cat said, “I can jump that, no one can beat me. I’ll jump right up there and get something shiny.” So with a big push, he jumped! Up, up, up he flew. And then landed safely on his feet on the cliff. Then he spotted the shiny thing he’d seen. It was a big brass gear, oh, so very shiny. So now he had a penny, a screw, and a gear. Then up on the peak, he saw a thing, it looked kind of shiny, but not like the other things. By now it was daybreak, and the sun was going down. But he let his curiosity get him, and he jumped! As he flew higher and higher, it got darker and darker. Finally, he reached a cliff, that was inches from the peak of the mountain. Then he grabbed it, and to his surprise, it was a pony-tail that had tinsel running through it. So now he had a penny, a screw, a gear, and apony-tail. Then, it started to rain, and it had gotten dark. Then, he spotted a cave on that same cliff, so he went to check it out. It looked like a good shelter to him, and, what was that? There was something shining in the cave. Inside the cave, he found that shiny thing. It was a piece of glass and a battery. So now he had a penny, a screw, a gear, a pony-tail, a piece of glass, and a battery. By now he was hungry, and it was so dark he couldn’t see anything. But, he was good at inventing, so he put all the pieces together, and made… a FLASHLIGHT! By now, bat was worrying where cat had gotten off to. So the bat set out to find cat. Then, cat went outside with the flashlight, and waved the flashlight all around hoping someone would find him. Then, bat showed up, and he said, “ where have you been?” “I’ll tell you when we get home.” Said cat. So then bat carried cat home, gave cat food, and then, cat told him everything he’d done that day. But you already know, right?

Treated Equally
Once, a long time ago, when blacks and
whites were treated differently, there was a school. And that school was for black people. One day, the Negro leagues came to
The school to give a first grade class a ride on their bus. Now, there was one boy in that particular class, named Reggie. He was all about fun and loved to go on field trips. on the bus, it was a real tight squeeze because everybody in the class had to sit in the back of the bus. That was the law back then. Finally, they stopped at a restaurant to eat.
Everybody except Reggie went inside. Reggie stayed outside , where he stared and stared at a certain white boy. This certain boy was about the same age as Reggie. He was staring right back at Reggie. The boy’s name was Will. Will waved at Reggie when he thought no one was looking. Reggie waved back. Then Reggie’s teacher came out and said, “ Reggie? Oh Reggie there you are! I’ve been looking all over for you! It’s time to eat.” “ I’ll be in soon.” Said Reggie. You better be. Said the teacher. After she left, Will walked away. That night at home, Will told his grandfather about the black boy who waved to him. Grandfather already knew, for he was at a white restaurant just across the street. I was looking out the window when I saw you. B-but-I-I-thought-no – one was looking. Will stammered. I know. Said grandpa.
Over at Reggie’s house, He told the same thing – or something like it – to his mom.What should I do? Asked Reggie. I really want to play with that white boy.I’m sorry Reggie but you can’t do anything. Yes I can. Reggie thought to himself. Martin luther king J.R is brave . I’ll ask him to do something about it. Martin Luther King J.R was Reggie’s neighbor. Martin was very brave and once said he would do something amazing. But he never did. So, the next day, Reggie went to Martin Luther King J. r ’s house to talk to him and think of a plan. “sure!”Said Martin Luther King J.r I’m always up for a challenge. Great! Said Reggie. But what can we do to make blacks equal to whites? Don’t worry Reggie.Said Martin. I have a plan. So Martin Luther King j.r went to make a difference. And when he did, the laws got changed. Reggie’s mother said to Reggie one night at the dinner table, You were right Reggie. You did make a difference. Well, along with Martin. I’m sorry I misjudged you. You have done well. The next day was Will’s birthday. Will’s mom took him to a restaurant witch was now for blacks and whites. Reggie wanted to try to go to a restaurant that used to be for whites only. It was Reggie’s little sisters birthday, but she was only one. Reggie and Will wanted to go to the same restaurant! When their parents took them, It was at the same time too! They met at the restaurant and their parents exchanged phone numbers, and where they live. They found out they only lived one block away from each other . From that day fourth, Reggie and Will were best friends. Now there is a statue of them with Martin Luther King J.r in the town square. And that proves that everyone can be equal and get along. What happened to Will and Reggie? Well , their at school playing together as best friends.

What is Christmas Really About?
What is Christmas?
Once,
There lived a family.
That family celebrated Christmas every year,
but they didn’t realize what Christmas was really about.
There was one girl named Suzie,
Who was only four.
On Christmas Eve,
Little Suzie asked,
“What is Christmas really about?”
“Well,”
said Grandpa,
“maybe I can help you out there.”
Then with that,
We went to the shelf,
And pulled out
The Bible,
And read aloud
The story of Jesus’ birth.
“Once there was a man
Named Joseph.
There was a
Woman named
Mary
Who was pledged
To be married to Joseph.
Now, at that time
King David
Issued a decree
That a census
Should be taken.
So everyone under
King David’s
Rule
Had to go to his or her
Hometown to register.
So Joseph took Mary to Bethlehem
So he could register.
At that time Mary was pregnant
With a child.
That child was
Jesus Christ.
They went from door to door
Of inns to find a place to stay.
But nobody
Would let them stay
Because Mary and Joseph
Did not live
In Bethlehem.
Mary and Joseph
Were very tired.
Finally,
A good innkeeper let them stay at his inn.
But,
His inn was full,
So he let
Mary and Joseph
Stay in the stable behind the inn.
There,
Mary gave birth
To Jesus Christ
Who later on in his life
Did miraculous
Things.
Jesus ended up dying on the
Cross
For our sins,
But that’s another story.”
At the end of the reading,
Everyone was silent.
Now they knew
What
Christmas was really
About,
And grandpa could help them celebrate
Jesus’
Birth.
Later on,
That family started
Going to church.
They became Christians,
And they lived happily ever after.
