The KittenI was out walking when I heard a sound,I followed it and you'll never guess what I found,A gray and white kitty,With soft blue eyes looking up at me,I reached out to pet it's fluffy coat,When a male voice from behind me spoke,"She's a stray!"I couldn't imagine her living that way!"Take her, she's free,A good home sh...

~~Monsters Underneath the Bed~~There are monsters underneath the bed, Daddy,Please won't you check, won't you look and see?And look in the closet they're hiding in there - Oh! They must be!I just know, in the middle of the night, they'll come out and get me!Daddy, Daddy, please tell them to go away - flee into the night,I won... More..
Hobbies & Games > Kids Games & Toys Game reviews: Connect Four: 7 of 18
This two-player game is a great learning game for kids, as well as an entertaining game for adults. Kids can learn strategy, color, and counting, all at the same time. This is the same basic concept as "Tic Tac Toe," but a little more complex. Take the playing pieces and drop them into a line of the grid until there is four(4... More..

DreamingThe path is dark again tonight,But the moon gives off the exact amount of light,To guide the way of your dreams,As you pass by mountains and streams,You hear birds singing and feel rain falling,When suddenly startled by your mother calling,It's not over yet, for again real soon,You will fall asleep guided by the light...

Arts & Humanities > Writing Tips Research before you write: 7 of 13
Research is a word that scares some people, even me. When I realized that half the work was researching, I almost considered giving up writing. But research isn't scary at all. Gone are the days of encyclopedias that break your back, with tiny text on the pages that you have to squint to read. You don't have to go into a cor... More..

We honor our soldiers by flying the American flags so high,By saluting the ones who return home and remembering the ones who died.To all the soldiers defending us-we remember your sacrifice,The sacrifice you unselfishly make to protect our way of life,To all the soldiers who didn't make it back, to each brave woman, to each b...

~~THE ONE THEY CALL THE WOLF~~ "Hey, Matt, I heard a rumor that one of the new kids trying out for the team is The Wolf." Aaron told me as we bounced a soccer ball back and forth waiting for the tryouts to start. The ball came toward me, and I used my knee to bounce it back to Aaron. "The Wolf?

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: The mountains: 62 of 99
Snow covered mountains are my favorite ones to see,As the altitude rises a few thousand feet,My ears begin to pop,But that doesn't stop,The enjoyment of the beauty of the mountain top.I've heard that in Ouray,Snow can last well into the month of May,Perfect for skiing everyday.Mountains so tall, mountains so high,Every time w...

PLACES TO GO, PEOPLE TO SEE -"We've got places to go, people to see," Stephanie told her Dalmatian, Max. They looked both ways before crossing the street on their way to the playground. Their favorite bench was empty. From her bench she could see everything, even her own front door. She could hear her mother call when it was ... More..
