Lit. Poems

"Explosions and Accordions"

Explosion
Clamorous lethal
Obliterating killing flashing
Fiery destructive pleasing squeezebox
Shrinking collapsing breathing
Audible harmless
Implosion.



"Rudy Steiner"

Rudy
Determined, athletic, bold
Who loves his best friends Liesel.
Who feels excitement about the war.
Who needs the love and encouragement of Liesel.
Who shares his stubborness with everyone.
Who fears the lose of a loved one
Who'd like to see a kitchen full of food.
Who dreams of being the great Jessie Owens.
Who ends up dead in a devastating bombing.

Aquarium

On our trip to the aquarium we experienced touch tanks and were able to observe animals. In the one touch tank we went to I was able to touch a shark which i found to be the most interesting part of the trip. I enjoyed this because I was able to interact with the animal instead of just observing them. Also while observing I found it interesting when observing all of the fishes behavior. For example, all of the sharks were extremely active while some other fish such a stingrays were either very slow or lay doormat on the bottom. Some animals like the Hippos were not much fun to be with both because they simply spent all of their time sleeping and smelled really bad. Another favorite animal was the seals and penguins. Although the penguins didn't move much they were intresting since unlike Antarctica these ones were used to warm weather. The seals on the other hand were very active and constantly leaping through the top of the water. I enjoyed this trip very much and found there were numerous animals to observe and touch. In conclusion I wouldn't mind visting this aquarium again and it is packed with intresting animal, fish, jellyfish and much more.
