__**​​Introduction** __

My name is Leslie and these are my writings. There are several poems, a few non-fiction pieces I wrote in Creative Writing, and some pieces I wrote outside of class. Some come from assignments that turned out really cool. Others came from stuff that I did on my own. I hope you enjoy reading my writings.

​ ​**__Poems__**

I had a lot of fun writing these poems. Some were harder than others to really get a good poem out of them, but they turned out good at the end. There are several different styles here, so you can get a good vibe of my writing. I hope you enjoy.

 The idea from this poem came from important things that have happened to me in my life. The reason my first line is my first line is probably because it’s the best thing that has happened to me. It shows endless summers with lots of fun with friends. It shows big steps in my life that can be very over whelming. I can’t wait to see what else I could possibly add to this amazing list.



This poem comes from memories of my childhood. I don’t know how purple really tastes like it all, but it goes with it. I remember summers scraping my toes and kool-aid stained lips. I’ve had that first, in the rain, unforgettable kiss, and it was amazing. I love remembering the memories of my childhood.



I got the first poem from drama going on in school. The first person is someone who used to be a friend and now thinks she’s so much better than everyone because she has a boyfriend and the second person is my best friend who is way more mature than her. The second one I don’t really know where it came from, I just needed one and it just came in my head. The third one I wrote during 7th period and was right after I had fallen asleep during 6th period English. So that’s where I got my inspiration.



This poem came from the photo and what I thought the boys would do. I tried to capture what the picture looked like to me and it looked like orphan boys getting their photo taken. It’s in a dark, dirty alley and it looks hopeless. But I turn it around for the boys. Usually head of orphanages are portrayed as mean, hence Annie or Oliver, but I made the head of the orphanage in this poem nice.



This poem came from both mine and Mary’s ideas. We both saw boys not knowing how their life should be and then put that into one poem. We chose to make them decide which path to go down, because that’s a life everyone lives. It can be kind of sad but at the same time happy. It just depends on how you look at it.



I got this poem from how I felt listening to the different songs played. Some made me feel sad, so I wrote about someone feeling sad in the poem, or portrayed it as sad. Then some songs made me happy, so I did the same thing, only made it happy. I tried to make it a happy ending. Luckily the last song was upbeat.



This poem came from the first thought in my head from the word given. Then I’m sure that’s where everyone else got theirs from as well when we passed it along. Plus they had to go with the flow of the poem. It’s neat how you can start it off thinking one way it might end, but then it ends a totally different way by the time you get it back. It was fun.



This poem came from all the physical features of my M&M. As I was making her, I saw vampire teeth and it gave me the idea that I could make her a vampire, but the teeth didn’t look right on my character. So to show it, I gave her gold eyes, since the good vampires in Twilight have gold eyes, and I wanted her to be good. I made her mouth look like she had a secret and made her look awkward, because she was trying to hide her secret. Which she hid it well, except her eyes would give it away.



**This poem is about my all time favorite meal at Red Lobster. Red Lobster also has to be one of my favorite places to eat, especially on my birthday. It can seem so crowded but it seems like people know not to be too loud, because it is rather quiet for it being so packed. I tried to describe how I feel when I eat the Ultimate Feast, which is amazing. It feels you up, but it’s so good.**



I love going to Kings Island but it’s always so crowded when you go. No matter what the weather or day. During the winter, even though it’s cold, I’d still love to ride Diamondback and Flight of Fear. I know a lot of people wouldn’t want to ride then, so it wouldn’t be crowded. But since it’s closed, no one’s there, not even birds.



This poem is about someone, but I won't say who. She just thinks she's so awesome and is better than everyone, but really she's not. She gets into people's conversations when she wasn't asked to be in them, but yet she thinks it's ok. She's rude to all her friends, so she is going to end up with no friends one day, I just know it. She calls people certain things, but she's what she calls everyone else. And I'm pretty sure her boyfriend is cheating on her, and is only with her for one thing.

**__Non-Fiction __**
This section is about some of my non-ficiton pieces. Some we did in my creative writing class, and some I did in my English class. A couple of them mean something to me, while others were just assignments. I hope you enjoy.



This piece is about a situation I was there for, but I had to put it in another person's perspective. I chose my boyfriends, because I know he was having a lot of emotions going on during that day. He was happy I was there, mad and worried he had to drive in the rain, and mad that the whole day wasn't really working out. But it's a good thing at the end he was and really good mood.



This was just an assignment with no attachment to me, but it turned out to be really fun. I got the idea, because I know how a lot of people get drinks before they leave my store, so I knew this would be great observation. I know that a lot of people are wanting to be heathly these days, but yet you still see so many people getting soda. I just wanted to see how many people are really sticking to the "let's get healthy" deal and buying water.

This peom was written in my English class. Our first semester was about warriors, and we had to come up with traits of a warrior. One of our assignments was to write kind of like a story about one of the traits, making the trait like a person. I used a lot of the traits we came up with in it.

This is the college essay we had to write for class. I made it about my first rollercoaster ride. I was really scared, but I conquered my fear and I now love riding rollercoasters. I related it to how college can be a scary thing, but I'm able to conquer my fear of it and can go to college with my head held high.

This piece was for my senior scrapbook. It is an interview with a character from a book I read. I really loved the book, and got close with the character. So I decided to "ask" him questions and find out more about his condition.

<span style="font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 160%;">

This piece is about a relation of my life to a book I have read. I chose Twilight, because Bella and Edward's relationship is like mine and my boyfriend's relationship. My boyfriend also reminds me of both Edward and Jacob, so I include that in there, too. This piece means a lot to me, because my boyfriend means a lot to me.

This piece wasn't written by just me, but by some of my English classmates as well. We had to write our own version of //The Canterbury Tales//. It includes and introduction of why we are telling the stories. We have the story that talks about the five characters we picked. It also includes the story of one of the character's life, and then their story that relates to their life. It was really fun.
