Poem

Last week I learned the poem A Red Red Rose by Robert Burns.
Oh my luve is like a red, red rose, 

That's newly sprung in June: 

Oh my luve is like the melodie, 

That's sweetly play'd in tune. 


As fair art thou, my bonie lass, 

So deep in luve am I; 

And I will luve thee still, my dear, 

Till a' the seas gang dry. 


Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear, 

And the rocks melt wi' the sun; 

And I will luve thee still, my dear, 

While the sands o' life shall run. 


And fare thee weel, my only luve! 

And fare thee weel a while! 

And I will come again, my luve, 

Tho' it were ten thousand mile! 
 My favorite line in the poem is " O my love is like a melody that sweetly played in tune." This is my favorite line because I love and play music. The general tone of this poem is a man who is deeply in love. And who cant wait to get back together with his love. The hole rhythm of this poem is the same. I like that its the same because it helps you learn the poem and its catchy. Something that I wasn't sure about this poem was if Robert Burns was talking about love as a person, or just the emotion love.

Holiday Season

The holiday season is a time for friends and family to spend time with each other and to make long lasting memories. In my family we celebrate Hanukah.  I have a lot of good memories of the many Hanukah parties we have had through the years.  Every year my Grandma makes Latkes and my Aunt Donna brings what she calls "homemade Gefilte fish" But we all know she really just gets it at Publix.  We also play Dreidel and my Grandpa brings $20.00 of dimes to gamble.  The winner collects all of the money.

My Lazowick cousins celebrate Hanukah with us but they also celebrate Christmas.  This year my sister, grandparents and I did something special with them.  We went to Miami Christmas eve to see the show Cirque Du Soleil and then we went out for a nice dinner.  It was great spending time with them, since I don't get to see them all that much anymore since they all go to college.

Also, this year we did something fun for New Year's.  My parents, sister and I spent New Year's at South Beach.  We hung out on the beach, walked around Ocean Dr and had a nice dinner on Lincoln Road.  To me the holiday season is all about spending time with my family and making special memories.
