My Favourite Quotes + Poems

Hi guys, It's me Dancing Tween,

Today I'm going to be showing you my favourite quotes and some poems. Hope you enjoy!

Quotes

I found all of these quotes by searching inspirational quotes on google and going into images.

This is my life... My story... My book.
I will no longer let anyone else write it;
nor will I apologize for the edits I make.
- Steve Maraboli

Don't Underestimate me. I know more than I say,
Think more than I speak,
and notice more than you realize.
- Unknown, I did not write this quote so I give credit to all the writers on all of these quotes.

Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself
- Coco Chanel

Poems

This one I wrote last year. It's a Haiku.

Butterflies

Butterflies flutter,
In the cold bitter wind, bright,
Colourful, and free.
- Dancing Tween

This one is by my favourite poet, Shel Silverstein.

Where The Sidewalk Ends

There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rest from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.

Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.


I hope you enjoyed my post,
Dancing Tween

P.s I may not be posting the next two weeks because I have a dance production, and rehersals coming up.

End of Summer Reflection

Hey Guys,            It's September, (sad face) and I start school tomorrow. Today is my last day of Summer. Today I am going to be reflecting on my 2018 summer break. Mostly I'm covering what I completed on my bucket list. Here are the things I completed on my bucket list: 1. Go shopping at Claire's accessories - Completed on the second last week of July. 2.  Post a lot more - I'd say I did really well on posting at least once a week, sometimes I even posted twice. 3. Cut my hair - I did this on the 31st of July. 4. Cook almost every or every week - I successfully did this pretty much every week. 5. The things about dance - I practiced a bit and stretched a little bit, but I have some great ideas for choreography. 6. Visit a local farmers market - I didn't visit the one I wanted to, but we went to another several times to buy corn, fruit, and fudge. I really didn't do much this summer, but I went to some family eve...

Short Stories

Hey Guys, Long time no see! Happy holidays! I have been busy for a while and now that it's winter break I can blog more. I probably won't be following a posting schedule so my posts will be at random times on random days. I might, might  do a Christmas gift haul so stay tuned. Without further ado lets get started. Today I'm going to share two short stories I wrote doing a prompt a day. I wrote these stories on the 20th and 21st of December. I got these prompts from the seventh sanctum writing prompt generator linked  here . Enjoy!  Story 1: Prompt: The river is her friend. We never really understood Sadie. She was just different. I never really understood her until we became friends.  Sadie was only at school Monday, Wednesday and Friday. We never knew why. Sadie was alone all of the time, I was her only friend or so I thought. Sadie approached me on a gloomy Monday morning. "Rory, meet me after school down by the river. Don't not come." she said and...
