The Cat is like Rubber
It is Just Right
The Cat is a Tiger
A felon in the Light
The Cat is like me
Skillful in the Night
The Cat is happy
It is just so funny
The cat is so Cool
That is hates the Pool
The Cat loves Sleeping
Just cause no one is weeping
The Cat is like Rubber
It is just Right
The cat is a tiger
A felon in the Light
The Cat is like Me
Skillful in the Night
The Cat is happy
It is so funny
The Cat is so kool
That it hates the Pool
The Cat loves sleeping
Just cause no one is Weeping
Petrified
Paralyzed or minimized

Still in shock

Love
Love is like a snowflake in the cool winter, it is so different you will never find anything like it.
Love can come and go before you even blink.
but it’s the most beautiful thing while it lasts, the taste of love is bitter and sweet.
Sometimes it comes and goes, sometimes it never leaves.
Love can be turned into the most beautiful things ever.
Sometimes something comes and destroys love,sometimes it never lets it start.
Some want it to stay forever,even though we all know that everything has to go in due time.
So be happy and joyful for love,because when you are in love nothing can touch you.
Love puts you out of harms reach.Love makes you feel better when you are upset, hurt, sick, or disappointed.
Love helps you up when you are down,keeps you from getting weak,and it changes the way you look at life.
Love shows that no matter what happens,there are always more snowflakes in the air.
So never stop searching,when one melts go find a new one.
Never lose your hope in love.
Why does love have to come and go?
Is it because it is like joining the crowd of other snowflakes,or is it because we are too selfish to share the last gleaming snowflake with others?
When people are in love their hearts should connect,not just one heart try to connect to the other.
Some say love is like a dove, but how so?
Doves come and go but snowflakes,can stay all winter and no one will ever notice.
A snowflake can take many different forms for no two snowflakes are alike.
love takes different forms in everyone’s heart.
have you read the warriors? it is a good series about cats surviving in the forest.
What ever happed to the mother in “A Child Called It?”
You guys should check out The Face on the Milk Carton. It’s about a girl who sees her face on a missing sign on the milk carton. She wonders, “I was kidnapped?” I really hope you guys can read this. It’s a fun book to read. And when your done, there’s the rest of the series to read.
I do not know about you but I like D.N.Angel. In D.N.Angel book 1 they tell you the names. their names are, Wiz,Dark,Satoshi,Risa and Riku Harada, Takeshi,and Daisuke.
Have any of you read Divergent? I really liked the book! I would recomend this book to people who don’t like to put a book down, and like books sort of like the Hunger Games!
