Ashley Grace's Corner

I am a thirteen year old animal lover.  Cats are my favorite, although I like dogs and horses as well.  When I am not playing with and caring for my animals, I prefer to spend  my time reading, reading, and reading some more…I also like to write.  My mom manages a cattle feed yard and likes to pontificate about cattle and the beef that they make.  When my mom is out caring for her cattle, I take charge at home as I am more organized than my dad and my sisters.  I hope that you enjoy my posts and eat lots of great tasting and healthy beef.

Love and Pollution

Love and Pollution; very different, right?

But think of these facts I shall bring to light

Both have burning, of passion and fossil fuels,

Which are dangerous, flammable tools.

Love, when done wrong, can be quite dirty

Like pollution itself to those in the spurning.

Yet we need the two,

For sparkling eyes and food.

Without pollution, we’d be in the dark

Though love could guide us with its bright burning spark.

Sure there’s ways to make energy without pollution

But that’s our way of life since the Industrial Revolution.

In short, love and pollution are alike

Burning, churning, love can make things all right

For a bit.  Though still the world catches up

With pollution and all that bad stuff.

Melody

Flowing like a river

Flying like a dove

A song’s melody pours out

Like sunshine from heaven above

Sunrise

Along the horizon

Stretches brilliant artwork

Done by the fairies

That hide at dusk.

They paint and draw

With the sky as a canvas

New works every morning

Their beauty is endless.

They work all night

So we can enjoy

The beauty each morn

Of sunrises galore.
School Daze

The patter of footsteps

The dring of bells

The chorus of voices

The drone of the teacher, as well.

The sighing of students

The endless work

The detentions, the lectures

I think I’ll uncork.

The end of the day

The enormous relief

The possibilities are great that

We’ll go home and sleep.

Fueled by beef–I keep getting faster! 2nd place finish at the Minden Invitational with a 6:00 mile time. Catch me if you can!

Cats

Cats are cuddly,

Fun and cute…

They like to party,

And raise the roof!

Horses

Horses Rock

Horses Rule

Step Away

Magnam might drool!

Family

Playing and joking in the sun,

Laughing till the day is done.

Fun and laughter, oh a treat

Isn’t family so, so sweet!

The JAMESKA Crew!

DI: Destination Imagination

Creativity and Teamwork are the key

To suceeding in this brainiac spree…

You act and write and build your dreams

And you find out if you are as smart as it seems…

Go JAMESKA!

Ashley Grace pulling ahead to win the 800 meter

Fueled by Beef!

I run and jump as far as I can,

I lift off high and land in the sand…

I run hearing Mommy cheering for me

“Finish Strong!”, “Come on Ashley!”

Fueled by beef, I win the race

Hurray! I won 1st Place!

Oceans of Secrets

Oceans lapping at the shore
Wipe away all spoilt memoir
Back and forth,
The rising tide
In its depths
Secrets hide…

Fishy Foo Foo

Little fishy foo foo
You won’t be dinner

I promise you…
I don’t lie
I’ll tell you why
Just bite my fly!

A Patchwork Quilt

A patchwork quilt is like a story
of somebody’s life
It shows the thoughtfulness, joy, and strife
It has different colors and pieces of mind
A true patchwork quilt is hard to find

Natural Beauty

Flowers, flowers everywhere
A daisy chain in my hair
Butterflies flit to and fro
I try to catch them and
Off
They
Go!
