Battlefield (one of my poems)

War, blood, death, winning, loosing, getting revenge.
Everybody crossing their fingers, everybody wishing they had never started the fight.
The end of your life, the second you start.
Worrying, hoping, and wishing that the bloody situation would stop. Your whole life is in your hands.
Nothing you can do but take one last breath before your whole life ends.
There will be only one winner in a war, but who will it be?
The feeling that you are going to die……...

Just, bloody Battlefield

Toby (one of my poems)

Never has a dog loved me like Toby, whenever I have a cut Toby licks me like a mutt .
Lonely, sad, feeling useless, Toby fixes them all with her cute puppy face and slobbery lick.
Care, love, happiness, she shows them all, makes everyone cry with happiness, and have a smile like the glowing sun.
It will take you forever to measure Toby’s heart, she never bites she never growls but even if she does the heart only counts.
I will never leave her under any circumstances because she’s all I ever wanted!
I started loving her from the start and hopefully till the end. I love you Toby.

Who's a Good Doggy?

Gone (one of my poems)

“Gone”, that word whispers to me when it’s time to sleep, No reversing, he’s gone.
Makes me cry when I think about him, his soul, stuck in heaven.
He suffered, he did not manage his pain, but it does not matter anymore cause he’s gone.
Barely got to see him when he was alive and now I can never see him again. His words whisper to me when I’m asleep, make me feel sad, make me feel like crying.
Grandpa Joe, you are gone and nothing can be done, but you will always be in my heart. I will always love you, Grandpa Joe.
Your grandson, Johnny.

Dedicated to my Grandpa,who died from Cancer.

The Test (one of my poems)

Oh, no! A test, panic in my chest!
Got my fingers crossed, sitting at my desk.
Well, I should not panic, I should just review the test and do my best…..
Okay so what is one billion divided by one thousand. Oh no I forgot!!
What should I do, should I cheat, listen to the beat going on in my head that is saying “Ahhh! I’ll fail!”
Or listen to the other beat in my head saying “Don’t panic, just try your best” So frustrated, so nervous, so, so, so, so…… I’ll fail!
So guess what, I got an A+ on my test, amazed at how smart I am!
Yes!!! I’m a genius after all…..!

Animal Rights

Some people take animals from Africa and other places for zoos and circuses. But really, do you think it is nice to be tooken from your house and then dumped in a huge cage or to be forced to do something and to be starving! Also, sometimes they kill the animal's mother when they capture the animal from the wild! I wish someone would go up live on stage and tell everybody that animals are just like us; they have the right to be free. I really hate circuses and zoos cause all they do is torture animals for human entertainment! Animals are creatures like us and they have every right you could think of, like us! My only wish is for all animals to have freedom!

Osaka Restaurant

Now look what's next, Japanese food! It's been a long time since we have been to a Japanese restaurant! Sushi, spicy crispy tuna, edamami and more, all in Osaka! Now this food is not good, it is delicious! I also love the Japanese decorations all around Osaka! But I am mostly happy that Osaka is in Downtown (in Lebanon). Because Downtown is the best place to be in Lebanon! It is good to keep on visiting different restaurants with different kinds of food. Again, Ina don't worry we will take you to Osaka too when you come to Lebanon! Japanese food is my favorite kind of food!

Is My Dog a Fish?!

I have never seen a dog like Shadow who always swims. The second you take her to any place with a pond, lake, river or beach, she freaks out and jumps in to the water! Sometimes I think that she is a fish! But the amazing part is that Shadow does not mind to swim when there is a storm, when there is rain and not even when it is freezing! Now I wonder how Shadow always gets courage to jump in to the water because not every dog will just jump in to the water like Shadow! Shadow is soo active! But at the same time she is still enjoying it!

Falamanki

I used to only like restaurants with sushi or pizza but now I am finally enjoying a Lebanese restaurant! It is called Falamanki! But the food was the best part! My favorite dishes in Falamanki are " Tabouli" (Tabouli is a typical lebanese salad), "tormos" (lupini beans) and the meat (the meat is sooo good). All food in Falamanki is always good! But I wish that Falamanki would use glass cups instead of plastic cups. Because plastic is not good for the environment at all. If you are reading this Ina, don't worry we will take you there soon!!

Julia's Easter Bunny

We have a huge garden or farm in Jieh separated by walls. We have chickens, 1 dog, 2 cats , fish in a pond and now an Easter bunny! The bunny was a gift to Julia for her birthday, from our dad because his friend had the rabbit and did not want it anymore, so he gave the rabbit to my dad! Julia is my sister! Well, we named the bunny "Thumper"! Julia loves Thumper a lot even more than you can ever imagine! Thumper is such a good pet because when you hold him and start petting him he gets tame and relaxed and when you put him down, is when he uses all his energy running and jumping like a cute rabbit! We are planning to keep him at home for the whole Easter break which is 11 days and when the break finishes we will put him back in Jieh because he needs to feel like he is free sometimes. The key to get an animal happy is to give it some freedom! Just like you have freedom and can do what ever you want! Thumper is always having fun at home!! In the picture, Thumper did not dig the hole it was Shadow (my dog).

Hallelujah!

The only words I could hear now are “fun, vacation, No School, No Homework, No tests, ". Plus all of these words lead to "Hallelujah!!"! I just cannot believe that I have no school for 11 days; I know it is a small number compared to 50 or 100 but at least it is not less! But I am still thankful. It is of course worth it because it really is for the celebration of Easter and at the same time everybody deserves a break! It is also good that it is including the day of April fool’s Day celebration! I have lots of tricks that I've prepared from a long time ago!
