I wrote half of this poem in class and finished it at home. Then I read it to my dad and he said to log on to his computer and start typing this up so I hope you like this poem just as much as he did.

The meaning of life

Meaning of life

nobody knows

why were we invented?

what were we made for?

for slaves, to be rich, to be poor?

was the meaning of life just for us to spend it?

or to save it?

to have it wasted by being imprisoned?

to have it spent right

to have fun

to get to live your dream

or is it just something that you’d rather have

then being just nothing?

who made life? No one was there to invent it

Why are we walking on earth?

Well instead of wasting time asking these silly questions

shouldn’t we be living life while we have it?

Here is my writing that I published in class.Its based on a true story that happened to my friends and I.

I love spending time with them. They are some of my greatest friends. There names are Bryony and Hunter. The first photo is of me and Bryony and Hunter and the second is a mob of Kangaroos near their dam.

Whenever we have a holiday, my family always goes to Australia to stay with the Donald family.  I remember the last time I was there, we had an interesting walk around the fields nearby their house.

Bryony, Hunter and I were walking up the hill to see the lambs. When we got to the top we saw some kangaroos hopping around in the distance. They were big red kangaroos, hopping around in the wide-open space.  They looked so free.

We decided to keep going on, so we went up to the woods where the lambs and sheep were. When we finally got to the lambs, they were all so cute! Walking around on there little legs I love the lambs I wish I could live near animals, because I love them so much.

As we were walking further we saw a dead lamb.  It was probably attacked by a fox. It was lying there all alone. Flies were flying all over it.  It was bloody and gross – not a pretty sight.  Everybody looked away and decided it was time to go.

We went on to the shed by the dam.  It was a small metal shack.  It was rusty all over and looked like it had been there for a very long time.  The door was open so we pushed the door open and went inside. There was a fireplace, a rake and a couple photos on the wall. There was a wooden chair that looked like it would break if we sat on it.  The table was in the same shape with a few cracks on top.

“This place is so dusty!  Somebody should clean it,” I said.

“People used to sleep in here,” Bryony said.

I looked out the door looking over the dam.  The shed was near the deep end where the snakes liked to stay.  I know they don’t do this, but I’m always worried some snakes will  jump out at me.

We decided to go back to the house.  I love going to Bryony and Hunter’s house. It’s a lot more fun in the country than it is in the city!

Yesterday during Art my dad came to pick me up.
I was doing my land form project and he came 10 minutes early. I also had a Chinese class party.
And I had to miss both of them, I was really disappointed. So we went out to meet Mum and Mimi.
We got in a taxi and off we went.We were going to Qingdao.
At the airport it took a long time in queues, good thing I brought my knitting.When we got through all the customs
it was a very long walk to gate 93.On the way we stopped at a few shops.
One was a toy shop, another was a toy shop, and another was a ice cream shop Hagen dazz,to be
exact. So once we got on the airplane it was the shortest ride ever!
Now to get to the point. In Qingdao it was amazing! To make it even better we stayed at the Shangri laa Hotel.
At dinner we went to Cafe Yum,I had some sushi. It was delicious!
The next day we went out walking to the sea shore well it was not really the shore we were high up and the sea was
down low if you can picture it. The waves were ginormous, they were all over the place.The waves were coming over
the bars it was amazing. We went around town and my next favorite part was the leaves, it was like Autumn.
The leaves were blowing every where and Mimi and I were jumping and playing in the leaves and trees.
Since Mimi had a jumper with a hood we stuffed leaves in it and she looked really funny.
We had a great time, unfortunately the next day we had to leave but we had a great time.
