Poem #11

Dedicated to my friend Becca Sears, who suggested I write this poem.

Llama

When talking ‘bout a llama
I sometimes think of the llama in a red pajama
Or of Kuzco in the Emperor’s New Groove
A movie I highly approve
Wanna tell your mamma
About an animal known as the llama?

You can find them in the USA
Or all the way
Down in the country with the equator
Which gives you a greater
Chance of seeing one
And may make you stunned

They love to spit
And have very distinct characteristics
They can carry packs
On their backs
And will help you
Get through with what you need to do

They aren’t very common around these parts
And don’t exactly show a bunch of smarts
You can enjoy them if you feel like it
They’re not really a misfit
They’re a very awesome mammal
Just don’t think of them as a camel.

Poem #10


I actually wrote this on December 1st which was when I was supposed to post this, hence the 1st & 2nd line. But I got busy (somehow) and forgot. But finally, here is POEM #10!!

Start of Winter

Welcome December!
What happened to November?
Time to prepare for the cold
And the snow to behold

With a time at the end
Which we will be able to spend
On a holiday break
In which we will partake
In the spirit of giving
On this holiday that comes after Thanksgiving

After that holiday comes the next one
That is always so much fun
Where you stay up late
While you get to wait
For the next year to arrive
As you watch it on your TV, live

Then comes the next month
That only occurs once
In the entire year
But still brings that COLD, breezy atmosphere.

Poem # 9

This special poem is dedicated to all my very good friends in F.F.A. The things they do there are amazing & exciting. Makes me wonder if I should join too. Keep it up my friends! You're doing awesome! "I believe in the future of agriculture..."

FFA
(Note: Poem refers specifically to Nampa FFA)

You’re in the FFA
Or so you say
You love anything AG
And you probably will brag
About what it is
And how you’re such a whiz
About anything and everything about it
Since you learned it bit by bit
The whole group will agree
To that I will guarantee

You’ll tell them to join in the fun
Because you get things done
While you have fun in the process
And by joining you’ll have lots of access
You’ll have many things to explore
So you can add more to your knowledge drawer

There are many competitions
With lots of recognition
Don’t forget the many events
That surely presents
What the organization does
And causes quite the buzz

It’s cheap to join
So throw in some coins
You won’t regret your decision
And you’ll meet Volkers, Frank, and Dixon
The fun and excitement awaits
So don’t be late
To join right now
Then take a bow
And the next day you’ll be able to say
“I joined the Nampa FFA!”

New Official Photo Website and a Sheepie News Update

WHOA! JULY 1st!!! WHERE HAS TIME GONE!? 

Due to a class photography assignment, I now have an official website for all my photos. It is updated frequently. It is be a Weebly based website with the name as ZiXiuPhotos. I have also connected it to my Flickr website to provide double the photography though the Flickr photos will tend to reappear on ZiXiuPhotos. 

If you want to view my photos webiste, please click on ZiXiuPhotos. (<Click here) 




And now for a special Sheepie News Update. 

Sheepie Land  has added on!! We now have Sheepie Island, a piece of land that's all fenced around for the Sheep to be in. Truthfully, it's just a big pen. We also have Floating Sheepie Lake, a lake full of Sheep (and squid) that, on June 7th, had approximately 104 Sheepies. that count is not accurate as so long has passed since I've taken count.

We now conclude this special Sheepie News Update. 

Please join us again soon and have a Baaaing good 4th of July!

Poem # 7

To the Grease Cast!



We’re just a bunch of people who got into a show
Bringing what we already know
Every time we meet
It proves to be such a treat.

Every rehearsal brings many laughs and jokes
While our show obtains it from the folks.
We have fun with each other
Or we have fun all together

And from me, Renée
I say
We make a great team
Or so it may seem
You guys are some of the greatest best friends I’ve ever had
And for that I’m glad.

When this is over, I’ll miss you a lot
And each and every fun thing you each brought
Onto this Cast
Which made it a blast.

We’ll never forget what we went though
And to that we say “Adieu”.
We’ll never forget the times we spent
But still will represent
The show we worked so hard on
Even though the hours made us groan and yawn.

The show is entertaining
Due to all our training
It was quite fun
And now we’re almost done.
