Free Verse Poem

I will glance up
Never down,
Always up.
With reverence,
With approbation,
With veneration.
WE ALWAYS HAVE ONE PERSON WE LOOK UP TOOAt my parents,
At my brother,
At my elders.
I know the path will be paved,
The light will shine,
The star will rise,
Just have to look up

They're the ones
Who care for me,
Who give me passions and aspiring dreams,
Who will be there.
As I sit here,
I realize,
Always look up.

Hurricane Irene vs. Hurricane Sandy

Hurricane Sandy, the giant gust of wind, howling in the gloomy day while battling my house to the death... To the frivolous, Hurricane Irene, which did not even engage my house into a tickle fight. Hurricane Sandy and Hurricane Irene were two hurricanes that I have two totally different perspectives on. Both caused damage to New Jersey, but through my eyes Hurricane Sandy would be more disastrous. As you can see Hurricane Sandy and Hurricane Irene had a tremendous difference in how each affected me.

Hurricane Sandy and Hurricane Irene affected me two different ways. Hurricane Sandy was very scary. The winds blew very hard and inflicted much damage with these winds. I was very scared to sleep near a window during Hurricane Sandy, in fear the glass might shatter and pierce my skin. Also, Hurricane Sandy left me without power, making me very bored but left me with fabulous books to read. Hurricane Irene on the other hand was very calm. This is because I did not get affected by Hurricane Irene at all. It was if it was a normal day. Hurricane Irene did make me a little nervous because it was the first major storm I encountered. But I was upset to find out that I didn't get touched by Irene. As you can see Hurricane Sandy and Hurricane Irene were very different in how they affected me.
