Though You Are Gone
Though you are gone, I still wait. The snow, that falls like an ever beating drum, falls around me, Though you are gone.

Into the rain, My shoes squish into he cold ground. Splashing, crashing. Your shoes used to squish with mine, before you were gone, now I walk alone. I walk in silence, Through you are gone.

Breathing in sunshine, touching the sky, the limitless sky. You used to be here too. Flying next to me through the wild flowers, but, You're gone. Were you ever really here?

But I can't dwell, I have to learn to drink in the sunshine, Jump into the snow, Dance in the rain. You don't have to forget, You just have to move on, Though you are gone, I can't wait.

"Preposition Poem"
Before the rain, After the sun, Below the ice, Above the flame, In the clouds, Out of the starts, We walk together.

"Hint Fiction"
White flakes fall, over the calm sea, where then sun used to be the only king.

Original Post:
A book that I recently read was called "Along for the Ride" by Sarah Dessen. I picked this book to read because I had already read a few books by Sarah Dessen and I thought they were good so I wanted to try this one. The setting of the book is in a small town called Colby. The time period is the present. Auden is the main character of this book and she is the daughter of a sucsessful mother who is a proffesor and a dad who is very much into literature. Auden's parents are divorced and her dad lives in Colby. Auden is also very smart and has just finished high school. The plot is basicly that Auden is used to constant studding and has been sent to private schools all her life. Auden doesn't have time to make friends of be "girly" like other girls. She had colledge and studdies to think about. But when she goes down to live with her dad durring the summer, she meets Eli who helps her on her "quest" to do all the things she missed out on as a kid. The deeper meaning is that even though studing and school is really important to Auden, she goes through her whole life without any real good, fun, experiences to looks back on. So what I learned from this story is to not let life pass you buy, but engage yourself in in and everyonce in a while stop and appricate all the things you've done. I would recomend this book to anyone it sounds interesting to. =)

[|The U?]
I read "The U?" written by [|The Daily Sentinel]. In this editoria, the author clearly thinks that Mesa State College shoulld not be "College" but instead "University". I can see this in the way the author structures their senteces and word choice. One example is in the paragraph: //We don’t think the college in Grand Junction will ever become known simply as “The U,” as athletes at the University of Miami refer to their school. But we do believe there are other names that could give prospective students in California, Texas, Florida and elsewhere a better sense that the facility here is much more than a tiny local college on a dusty patch of ground in the desert.// The author starts out the paragraph with the negative comments twoard Mesa State. However, he follows the negative comment with the preposition "but" and a posotive comment that contradicts the negative comment: //But we do believe there are other names that could give prospective students in California, Texas, Florida and elsewhere a better sense that the facility here is much more than a tiny local college on a dusty patch of ground in the desert.// This show the optomisim in the author and that they think that Mesa State should become a University and deserves that title in spite of the contradicting claims. Then the author goes on: //is much more than a tiny local college on a dusty patch of ground in the desert.// This comment comes off as sarcastic, perhaps in the way that it is a stong rapid sentence that is not punctuated as a list. This reveals again that the authors tone is that he wants Mesa State to show all the naysayers that they aern't the tiny little college they used to be and are capable of becoming a University.

A star is...
A crystal hanging from a black ceiling, A dot in a pool of black water, A light in the dark, A watchful eye A garudian protector, What burns inside us all.

Gone with the Sea

Definition:

 * **to decline**  in power, importance, prosperity, etc.: //Colonialism began to wane after// World //War II.//
 * **to decrease**  in strength, intensity, etc.: //Daylight waned, and night came on. Her enthusiasm for// ﻿the //cause is waning.//

Rationale:
So I guess what I what I wanted to do was show somthing in life that "Wanes" very quickly. Which leads me to say that when I thought of somthing that waned fairly quickly I thought of technology and how there is always somthing new out there or a newer version of somthing. In my digital vocabulary picture I am trying to cominicate the fast pace that technology evolves at. On one bilboard you see the iphone. That was back when it was brand new and popular. But if you drive down the road a little further you see that the next bilboard already is advertising the new iphone 2 within only a few feet of the previos bilboard and heading into the future.
