Poetry
HABITS
A habit is a sticky thing;
Much good or evil it can bring;
It binds a victim, holds him fast,
And keeps him in a vise-like
grasp.
Bad habits grow with extra
speed,
Much like a healthy, growing
weed.
The roots grow deep, the stem
grows stout; How
difficult to pull it out!
Good habits are a little slow;
They need a lot of care to grow;
If tended well, they grow more
fair
Than any bloom a plant can
bear.
Good habits help us all through
life;
Bad habits bring us pain and
strife;
Our habits, whether right or
wrong,
Each day will grow more firm
and strong.

That’s me

Poetry
The sky is low
THE sky is low, the
clouds are mean,
A travelling flake of
snow
Across a barn or
through a rut
Debates if it will go.
A narrow wind
complains all day
How some one treated
him;
Nature, like us, is
sometimes caught
Without her diadem.
Emily Dickinson
