It was a beautiful fall morning. The sun was out. The sky was clear. A perfect day to go biking. "Did they call you back yet?" I asked my mom. Ever since my two friends and I had biked to a cafe for drinks in the spring, I’d wanted to do it again. It seemed like every Saturday there was something.
River of feathers Crossing the sky
May not see it ever again
Beating wings
Whoosh up high
May not hear that ever again

Forts, to me, are a great place to hide away! I like to build forts because they are my little place where nobody can bother me. Forts make me feel independent; and away from all noise.
I’ve been building forts all my childhood, and I still do. I build my forts almost always in corners because every corner in my house has a chair, a soft thing or a window for light.

Would you be surprised to learn that there is a science fair in which high-schoolers from all over the world compete in 22 categories for a $75,000 winning prize?
As many people know, the state of California has burned with some 7,600 fires this year. Many of these were large and leveled entire towns, leaving thousands of people homeless. California's recent largest recorded fire ever was the Mendocino Fire. The fires have cost about 2.975 billion dollars in rebuilding and fire suppression costs.
I live in California.
Riddle me this
And Make My Day
Who has taken all the heroes away?
They are not in the papers
Or on TV
Not anywhere, sadly, that I can see
Maybe King Arthur got lost
And James Bond’s in rehab
Batman’s car is in the shop and he can’t find a cab
Lassie’s having a nap
The Ghostbusters are late
Sisyphus is wearing a back brace, bemoaning his fate
You grown-ups created them
Then ...
