Reflective Essay When I first started taking creative writing I found that I like writing about global warming, greed, and nature. Before this class I never wrote any poems but now writing poems is my favorite form of writing, especially sonnets and abecedarius poems. Writing has opened a new place in my life to go find comfort.
In the vast world filled with water and land many types of creatures want to have it occupied. Of all the species in the world human’s and their desire is by far the most dangerous. The Earth can scream as loud as it wants but humans will never allow it to heal, for it is filled with all types of riches and gold. Gold isn’t just yellow sparkling mineral, wood can be gold with how much we value it. The problem is the land doesn't grow trees that fast and humans are not allowing it to heal No matter how much we cultivate and plant trees on occupied grounds, trees will never grow fast enough to stop the earth’s scream. Humans cannot seem to live without trying to fill their desire. Humans are all different but we all still have a bottomless desire. It’s like an insatiable hunger for the planet's gold. Some people’s desire interferes with others, and they cause them to scream when they remove them from their land. Even the last bits of untouched land are getting occupied. Those last pieces of paradise could have been the planets only heal. Falling World
Black clouds and plastic seeping into the air can’t make the earth heal it would only bring the world’s destruction, ending all people’s desire. Leaving wastelands not wanting to be occupied by anyone no matter how many kinds of gold used to be there. People have already destroyed much land and left many species extinct and the remaining ones can only scream. The problem is do people really care about other species’ scream or do we think they can automatically heal by themselves no matter how much land We take for ourselves. With the new rise of black gold Humans have fought and killed each other over the land to have it occupied. It never stays in one group hands for long, someone else would have it occupied before long. They would make sure the inhabitants will scream and beg to stop killing them for their lands black gold. The fighters won’t even have the injured people heal before forcing them to leave to fill their desire. After all the mining is done the place will be a barren land. A place that would have nothing but useless land, land that won’t be able to fill up anybody’s desire. A place that would be so damaged it can never heal.
Ig-nor-ance\~\ n. 1. Being unknowledge. 2. opting out of reality, / Blinded by tunnel vision, / Stubbing your pinky toe and not realizing it was the toe next to the pinky, / Looking at the sky through a lake's reflection, / flipping a 2 headed coin.
Roses Beautiful red rose Thorns stop it from being took Survives in lush field
Memories Picture frames in house Capturing good memories Forever in place

A Bond for Me The fur on your body sheds like crazy. It takes forever to clean and pick up. The dog food and dog treats are expensive. Giving you a bath is always messy. You bringing in dirt is such a hassle. Can’t ever just spend the night somewhere else always have to make plans for you or not being able to leave at all. Take you on walks and driving around in the car for your happiness. Spending gas money for you. Dog medicine is like a wallet pit. Buying toys is expensive too. It takes much time to put you out in the morning. Even with all of that I still love you.
