It's been a few days since I've written in here due to the fact that I haven't exactly been the healthiest girl lately. I've been pretty sick with the weather being how it is in all. And with me having a full time job and trying to stick with school, it's all really hard. School is my number one responsibility but I haven't been there much do to being sick, so yea not fun! Anyway I really enjoyed posting winter poems in here last week that I thought I'd continue with the theme, considering Christmas is in two days. Yea i'm sitting in school and it's Christmas Eve tomorrow, nice. I think that, that is rediculous! We should not be in school at this time but whatever it's not my choice, unfortunetly!
Anyway I'm super excited for Christmas! I've been waiting for it to roll around since Turkey Day got over! I hate the fact that people have lost the true meaning of Christmas though. People go out and buy there friends and family gift cards because they don't know what to get them, that is pretty sad in my opinion or even parents just let their children pick out their presents these days. They take them to the store and their like "pick out presents kids." Who does that? People think Christmas is all about presents theses days, but it shouldn't be that way. Christmas is a time when people come together to celebrate. In some cases, and for me and my family, we come together to celebrate Jesus's birthday. Well I'm going to leave you with those parting thoughts but I will be back!

To New Viewers This Is For You!
If there are new viewers that are checking out my blog I would like to give you a little update on what my blog is about and the contents of it. First of all I'll give you a little background information. Since I can remember I have loved to write and draw! I especially loved to write and read poems, it has always been a favorite of mine. And when I got to highschool I doubled up in my Language arts classes every year, because I wanted to get as much knowledge about writting as I could. It is actually what I am going to try and major in, in some sort of manner. So what I did for you here, with my blog, is I brought together an abundance of quotes and poems that I have found throughout time that I have really enjoyed. And I have hoped that you would enjoy them with me. I tend to put poems and quotes in here that relate to how I feel that day. Sometimes I will put quotes in here about or relating to the weather. Just recently I added poems about Christmas, family, and snow. Those happen to be my life right now, and what's going on in it. I do ask that if you want to comment please go ahead, I love to hear from people. I like to hear suggestions and if you have a poem or quote that you want me to put in here just leave it for me under my comments and leave a name I can put it under. I want to be able to give you guys recognition for your work! Anyway today I'm going to show you guys a little bit about what I do, so I'm going to add a few poems and a few quotes in here for you.
* I Close My Eyes
"I close my Eyes and try to imagine if, after so much pain, I could abandon my love for you
and live my life again...all that comes to mind is a memory of you promising never to leave...I look up and see you waving at me...I turn away and I close my Eyes once again..."
* In The End
"I thought I was Safe After so much disappointment there's just no fun in being pessimistic I thought I could Keep them close with my charmingpersonality...Not so I always planned ahead imagining obstacles but never realizing the damage they could cause People come and people Go not understanding the Havoc that results in my mind I thought I couldhang on...thought I could be special to Somebody and have them be special to me I thought they would stay for me but Everybody goes Away in the End..."
* Say Goodbye
"You've finally left, but I never thought it would happen We used to be so Close What happened I don't even know why you left I've been denyingit for a long time, but now I realize that you're gone forever and there is no reason to cling to the hope that you'll come back...I'll miss your companionship and love, but it's time to get on with my life and say goodbye..."
* Laughing Alone
"I know now that I have always been alone... I laugh at my former faith in the saying "friends are forever"... As I trudge through this desert of a life friends and companions seem to be hands materializing out of nothingness... their sole purpose being to offer me a small cup of water, a bit of shade, and a smattering of physical contact letting me know that though I walk alone others do exist Laughter usually denotes happiness or joy- I laugh because there are too many things to cry about... I cease my cackling for a moment because a thought, too vivid for emotion comes to mind 5 billion people on this planet and yetI tread through this weary existence alone...I lick the tears from my lips as I laugh again...hysterical-and alone..."
Okay so here are some poems by Nat J. Yea they are a little sad and depressing, but I just wanted to give you guys a little tase of the text that will be in my blog. And somedays you'll get poems and quotes that are sad like this because that's just how I feel.

Snow Days Last Forever
Waking up in the morning when you're in a warm bed, completely comfortable, and completely exhausted....well you don't exactly want to get out of bed. Well at least I know I don't. I personally like my sleep. And when you wake up and realize it's zero below you just want to crawl right back into the bed you crawled out of. And that's how I came across my title. The days that snow feel like they're going to drag on forever. And that's bad enough that they do, but I have to sit in school during it, which make them feel even longer and longer.
Anyway today I'm going to try and bring you guys a poem or quote about snow or winter. I felt that it was appropriate considering the circumstances of the piles of snow outside right now. Yesterday in my car I almost bit it...at least three times. My car spinned out into an innersection, but don't worry I'm still alive, hence the whole me still here blogging. Anyway I'm going to put five poems in here for you guys today. I hope you enjoy them just as much as I do.
* Winter Beauty: "When it's winter in the Valleyand my breath hangs in the air, The snow will crunch beneath my feetand glisten in the air. The stars at night light up my worldso I never walk alone; It's clear and crisp and beautifulin the Valley I call home."
* A Winter Dawn: "Banana-cream and apricotarose in the eastern sky; Softly blending with shaded-greys, it quietly caught the eye. Dawn is magic along the horizonbefore the sun climbs aloft; Winter mornings are specially-embellishedwith colours more muted and soft. Snowflakes mirror the pastel tones, adding their touch for the day; Beauty spilled from nature's paletteand meant to come our way."
* "Little chickadees, as busy as bees,flying back and forth from the feeder to the trees. One sunflower seedhe takes to the tree; Eats it there; flies right back -”chick-a-dee-dee-dee.” Such a cheerful fellowand not a bit shy; He doesn’t mind if I’m there -he’ll come so close-by. ”Chick-a-dee-dee-dee” - my favourite winter song; I could spend time watching himall day long. A tidy little fellow - no seeds scattered ‘round; His winter manners keep the seedup, off the ground. When seeds in the feederstart getting low,”Chick-a-dee-dee-dee” - He’ll always let me know. A polite little friendI’m happy to see; He has great winter manners - I think you’ll agree."
* The Magic of Winter
"Winter and snow is a child's delight - things dreamed of in July;
Sleds and hills, squeals and spills, waving, as the world rushes by.
There is snow on the ground, snow in the air, snow, snow everywhere.
Angels they make in the blanket of white, and tomorrow will remember how
Snowflakes felt on their tiny tongues - like magic to them now.
There is snow on the ground, snow in the air, snow, snow everywhere.
Snow-people are made and all decked out with colours and a happy smile;
Forts are built with utmost care so they will last awhile.
There is snow on the ground, snow in the air, snow, snow everywhere.
Snowballs rolled and piled with glee; tots laughing merrily;
Adults watch, remembering - secrets bubbling free.
There is snow on the ground, snow in the air, snow, snow everywhere.
Skiers fly the well-packed slopes, independence lighting their eyes;
Blending with snow as they descend like magic from the skies.
There is snow on the ground, snow in the air, snow, snow everywhere.
The ice is cleared so skaters glide and maybe spin a dream
Of triple loops and a sharp edge and costumes of gold and cream
There is snow on the ground, snow in the air, snow, snow everywhere.
At the end of the day all tucked away, they dream of flakes of white
Floating from heaven, in a musical dance - an innocent child's insight.
There is snow on the ground, snow in the air, snow, snow, EVERYWHERE!"
* Visions of Christmas
"When you think of Christmas, what do you see -
a wreath, a candle, a star or a tree?
A profusion of lights may come to mind;
a choir, a pageant, or a deed that is kind.
Children in awe, with eyes so bright,
learning the meaning of the very first night;
And then the tradition of Santa, in red -
they listen for sleigh-bells when tucked into bed.
When you think of Christmas, what do you see?
I see the children, minds open and free."
~All these poems are brought to you by Joan Adams Burchell.~
I thought that these poems were just the cutest thing! They were exactly what I was looking for and exactly what I wanted you guys to see. They talk about snow. family, and christmas. Which is everything that is going on at this time of year. Maybe not the snow for some, but definately christmas and family!

Lots and Tuns
My last two blogs were extremely long! And I'm pretty happy about that I had quite a bit to say and add! And I don't quite think that this one will be that long but it'll be good enough! Today I'm going to do something a little bit different I'm going to put in here lyrics to a favorite song of mine and yes the song is still within my theme of poetry. It's a song by Vanessa Carlton called Twilight. I absolutely love her music. I love music with substance and a deeper meaning behind it and she definately apply's that in her music and I really appreciate and look up to that fact. I like that it's not some hoochie rap talking about sex and drugs. Anyway here it is and I'll let you get you own impression on it.
"I was stained in a role in a day not my own, but as you walked into my life you showed what needed to be shown, I always knew what was right I didn't know that I might, peel away and chose to see with such a different sight...
Chorus: and I will never see the sky the same way, and I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday, and I will never cease to fly if held down, and I will always reach to high cause I've seen, cause I've seen Twilight...
Never cared never wanted never sought to see what flaunted, so on purpose in my face couldn't see beyond my own place, it was so easy not to behold what I could hold, but you taught me I could change whatever came within these shallow days...
Chorus
As the sun shines through it pushes away and pushes ahead, it fills the warmth of blue and leaves a chill instead, and I didn't know that I could be so blind to all that is real, but as illusion dies I see there is so much to be revealed
Chorus
Repeat first paragraph to song!
Chorous
The beat to this song is extremely well put together and follows the tone of this song really well! I will add the video to this song later because the song is really good! And the video will show you the beat and the lyrics together so you can get a feel to what it's about!

Time To Make A Decision
In my last update I talked about how I was at a crossroads and in need of making some huge life changing decisions, well lets just say I've been putting my decisions off hoping that I wouldn't have to make them, but now the time has come were I have to. In fact I have to make a decision within five hours, and my head is everywhere at this moment. I have no clue what I'm going to do. I'm throwing my head everywhere, so if someone finds it let me know. I'm just kidding but really I'm confused. My title is pretty straight forward this time and self explainitory. Today I will be adding probably a couple quotes and a couple of poems. I wanted to just spice things up a bit! So I'm going to get the ball rolling!
* "I climbed up the door and opened the stairs, Said my pajamas and put on my prayers, Then I turned off the bed and crawled into the light, All becuz you kissed me goodnight! * Next morning I woke up and scrambled my shoes, Picked up my eggs and toasted the news, I couldn't tell my left from right, All becuz you kissed me goodnight!* That evening at last I felt normal again, So I picked up my mother and called the phone, I spoke to the puppy and threw Dad a bone, Even at midnight the sun was still bright, All becuz you kissed me goodnight!"
~ I picked this short peom because right now my life is pretty confusing and I'm going crazy with all theses new decisions I'm having to make, and this poem is really crazy and mixed up, so it kind of reminds me of my life at this point!
* " -Friends-Written with a pen, sealed with a kiss, If you are my friend, please answer me this: Are we friends, or are we not? You told me once, but I forgot. So tell me now, and tell me true, So I can say "I'm here for you." Of all the friends I've ever met, You're the one I won't forget. And if I die before you do, I'll go to Heaven and wait for you, I'll give the angels back their wingsAnd risk the loss of everything.There isn't a thing I wouldn't do, To have a friend just like you!"
~ I've already said in previous blogs that friends were important to me, and well I came across this one and I couldn't help but add it into my blog. Friends are a very important part of my life so I dedicate this to them, they know who they are.
* "Try not to let your mind wander. It is too small to be out by itself."
~ I thought that this was an adorable quote! My mind has been waundering a lot lately!
* "If a man stands in the middle of a forest speaking, and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?"
~This was is just straight-up funny, I couldn't pass it up!
* "If you don't know where ur going, any road will take u there."
~ Again it's a lost quote and so am I, I relate to it so I put it in here.
Well there it is in all it's glory. A miss of beautiful poems and beautiful quotes!

Crossroads
It has been quite awhile since I've written in here. I was busy with finals and my Thanksgiving break that I just had not gotten around to it. And the I got sick but that's a whole nother story. Anyway the good thing is that I'm back and ready to write. This time around 'm going to add at least one poem in with each blog alongwith five to ten quotes as usual, I got to keep the quotes rolling. I would have to admit that I did miss blogging though. For me it's a way to excape it all; all of the confusion, sadness, just whatever it is I need to excape from. The title that I have chosen today is "Crossroads," I chose this title because right now in my my life I am having to make multiple life changing decisions and let me tell you it is no easy task once so ever. And I know life is all about choices and making decisions but what do you do when one decision could change your whole world, well I have two decisions to make both world changing for me. Anyway today I'm going to put a couple quotes in here and a poem. I got to follow through with what I said I would put in here don't I!?
* "You helped me laugh because of you...i have no fears. Together we live together we grow teaching each other what we must know You came into my life and i was blessed i love you friend you are the best release my hand and say good bye please don't worry i'll try not to cry i promise you this its not the end because like i said you are my friend!"
~ And there you have it a wonderful yet farily short poem. A poem about a great unbreakable friendship, there's nothing better than that! Do those really exist these days?
* "The People The people who are there for me The people who I want to see The people who I can talk to The people who will tell me if i'm goin coo coo The people who will help me when I cry The people who will help me spy The people who give me fashion advise The people who will always act nice These people are my friends you see They will be there to the end with me."
~ I think that I definately felt like making this a day about short friendship poems! Do you get that sense of feeling?
* "Where do dreams hide? Maybe by your bedside. Somewhere maybe you could see.Or in the sky flying free. Or far away in a foreign land. Or under your feet beneath the sand. Dreams are everywhere, you see. They are in you and me. Dreams are like clouds in the sky, For you can reach them if you try. And they will never leave a day, For dreams unfilled will always stay."
~ A poem about dreams. I love dreams, sometimes they're better than reality!
* " Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They aren't fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them. Disagree with them. Glorify or Villify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."
~ Here's just a random one for the books, but I liked it so I just stuck it on in here!"
Well there you have it! I didn't put any quotes in here today, just short poems. I guess I thought I would get a jump start on my poetry era! I'll write more in here later! Probably later today actually! So check back fellow bloggers! LOL!
