Author's Note: This a poem about a book that I have just finished reading. It's called Life as we Knew It, and it's by Susan Pfeffer. It is definitly a sci-fi genre and if you like those kinds of books you'll probably enjoy this one. Here I have written a poem about this book.(It's also on my poetry blog:)
I remember the day...
when the moon got bigger,
and we scrambled for food.
Is there any hope we won't starve?
The day when the well went dry
Is there any hope that we won't die of thirst?
When my friend and neighbor died.
Is there any hope that we'll live?
Winter came as harsh and cruel as ever.
Is there any hope that we won't freeze to death.
Then my family got sick.
Is there any hope they'll survive?
Then the mayor came with bags of food.
We will not starve.
We were surronded by snow.
We will not die of thirst.
We saw people.
We are not alone.
We have wood and a fireplace.
We will not freeze.
Is there any hope in this cruel world?
Yes, there always is.

Lord of the Rings- The Fellowship of the Ring (part 1)
Author's note: This is my free read book that I'm currently reading. This is a short response to my book. I'm not very far into the book so this is what I can write about. This is in the eyes of Bilbo the hobbit finding the ring.
There!In the dirt something sparkled. While my boss isn't looking I walk over there casually and pick it up. It's a ring, it's a beautiful golden ring. I can feel it's power surging into me, calling to me. I look at it once more before slpping it into my pocket. Then I turn and run to my house. At my house I take the ring out of my pocket and examine it once more. Every once and awhile my hand reaches into my pocket to touch the ring and make sure it's there.
20 years later---
I have decided to leave the Shire,where I live,and go to the mountians to live in peace and quiet for the rest of my life. My 111th birthday party is tonight and I shall announce that I'm leaving there.
"Hobbits of all ages,sizes, and colors I have a special announcment to make." I began look out to the crowd of my many loved ones. "I have decided that my time is done-"I was interupted by mummers and whispers from the crowd. "I wish I could have spent more time with all of you but it is my time to leave. So now I will go and most likely never return. Good-bye my friends." and at that I slipped the ring on my finger and vanished. I never returned to the Shire and was never seen again.
