Shining Bright-A Full Moon's Flight



There was a full moon last night! (5-7-09) If you guys didn't see it, here is a description that I wrote in a poetic format.


Shining Bright-A Full Moon's Flight:

5-7-09 at 10:49 pm


I saw the moon last night. Way up in the blackened sky, shining almost too bright, looking almost too beautiful and almost too breath-taking. The light and the dark clouds moving in on the glimmering object, they come and go, like wind and snow on a winters evening. The shining ball in the sky lit up the room like a lamp in the middle of blackness. The city at night didn't need lights to be lit, it didn't need trees and flowers to be beautiful, just look up and be astonished at the gorgeous orb of the night. Only one time in the year, the bear is exposed to the warmth, only one time can you see Halie's comet, (maybe never!) But once a month, when the sky is clear and the stars are showing, I get to admire the beauty of a full moon. Then as suddenly and as gracefully as it appeared, is was gone, behind the storm. It is hidden for the night, not to show its full face again next month. Say goodbye to the beauty and hello to darkness as it hides among the clouds, not wanting to be found...

Getting to Know You Music Style (memoir 1)

The day came when i suddenly grew up. My love for kids' music and games of "house" blew away. I grew up. The things that were once fun are now too young for me. My passion for music grew and got me to where I am today! The song Fearless, by Taylor Swift, describes me and my life. The lyrics speak to me in some way, I can understand what she is trying to say. The phrase " With you I'd dance, in my best dress, fearless," describes the way that the singer loves the person she is with and that she would do anything for or with them. She loves life and doesn't want to let it go too suddenly. The song makes me feel loved and not afraid of anything. I want to love and be loved, just like the song says. Lyrics of fearlessness bring out my gymnast side, they uncover happy memories of gymnastics: competitions, being with my friends. It also brings back bad memories and sometimes encourages me to get back on the " horse," or in this case, beam and try again. It makes me forget about my problems and live the way that I want to. Many other songs are very impacting om my gymnastics career.

Chelsea Paxton was her name, her favorite song: For Good, from the musical Wicked. The calm and pleasant feeling that the song gives off calls to her and replays memories of her and her best friends singing all of the time. Words intertwined in the song helps her forget about people she misses and when she is quiet or shy, it shows her that she can be bold and brave!

All music, even if it is immodest , has a message or meaning tied into it. whether is is " Drugs are bad," or " be free," all music speaks. Songs about love, usually have words about happiness and love. Songs that are about a break-up or and angry song is normally packed with angry words and sad phrases. The songs that stick out to me are the happy ones, with lyrics about love, freedom, or gladness. The depth of the song "Fearless" is as deep as the ocean. The performer, Taylor Swift, is basically saying that she wants to be brave and not afraid of anything. She wants to be able to kiss the person she loves and not feel ashamed or judged for it.
