Long Time No Post

The title says it all...SORRY! :( I've been making a new blog which people I know in real life are going to look at, about my life, my stories, and so on, so I've been focusing on that one. I would provide a link to that blog but it says my personal info and stuff on it so I made it a private blog. 

Anyway, enough of the ol' excuses. Here's a haiku I wrote today:

Sunset Reflections

Pool beneath the sky,

Trees' reflections reaching down, 

Amazing sunset.

Not great, admittedly. What do you think?

Also, have you any ideas of stuff I could post? :3

Thanks,

Making Essay-Writing Enjoyable

Hello writers and artists! :D

I woke up this morning feeling decidedly subdued - my head was spinning, and I just sort of felt moofy (word we invented). However, after a bowl of weetabix, a glass of apple juice, and an essay, I felt decidedly high-spirited. 

My father gave us three topics to choose from to write our essay - What I'd Do With a Million Pounds, A Day Out with My Friends, or All's Well That Ends Well. 

By coincidence, Fauna and I both did All's Well That Ends Well, which really is a coincidence, as we weren't allowed to confer about it. We also, coincidentally again, both did it about a rowing boat! Two great minds work alike! XD

Anyway, I really don't understand why I hear people speak of essay-writing as if it was unenjoyable. I find it extremely enjoyable! :D

Here are a few ways to enjoy essay-writing:

• If you are allowed to choose your topic, choose one which you'll enjoy writing about. 
• Use your imagination! Even if it's a topic you don't particularly enjoy, make it so you do!
• If you find it hard, talk with your parent or teacher or whoever you're doing it with, and they'll help you. :)

Well, now I have to go; I have to do my maths schoolwork before lunch. See you! :D

PS. Like my signature? :3

Poem and Drawings

Hello! :D 

Here are the drawings I said I would post! :3

A cat.

A stag. 

A wildsow and her piglet. 

Do you like them? Do you think my drawing has improved at all since last time? :)

And now, here's a poem I wrote! :D

Summer Fun

By Dawn Woodlands

Running through the sand,

A toy boat in your hand,

Set it in the water, and watch the waves push it back to land!

Dig a deep hole,

Turn over on your back in a roll,

Pretending to be a water-vole!

While you enjoy yourself, grown-ups lie,

Sunbathing under the blue, blue sky,

I wonder why.

Time for a swim!

To keep afloat you must use every limb,

Oh, there’s a fish – try to swim like him!

What do you think? ^.^ I entered it to Fauna's poem contest! Click here to enter!

Oh, and I've made the Dawn's Drawings and Dawn's Writing pages into one page called Dawn's Creations to save on page space. :) I've also changed the Readers' Drawings page to Readers' Creations.
