This one's also 3 years old.
Every time I said "red" I wrote it with red colored pencil, but I couldn't do that, so italicizies(??) had to suffice.

We look at a dot      .Not knowingThat there's a whole communityLiving on itBut maybe some other creatureLooks down on earthAnd sees a dot         .The top of a bald man's head      _Oh so smoothTiny organisms trek for centuriesTo climb over the huge hills        /\/\/\/\/\/\/Which are his hair                          We climb Mt.

Also, there are a bunch of pictures in the margins and stuff that enhance it, so it's missing the full effect.
Hope you enjoy!

Kati's Song
Mallory Mar 2010
Crickets are chirping outsideBranches reach up to the blue skyAnd the butterfliesFloat way up high So many wondrous thingsBut the one, that makes my heart singA girl whose hair’s goldenShining like the sunHer eyes, a twinkling toneBluer than the sky Kati, you’re my sunThe brightness in my dayA day that’s just begunSo don’t set yetNo, don’t set yet Birds sing good morning to meTickle of grass under bare feetAnd the springtime airSmells so sweet So many marvelous thingsBut the one thing, that makes my heart sing A girl who’s hair’s goldenShining like the sunHer eyes a twinkling toneBluer than the sky Kati, you know you’re my sunThe brightness in everydayA day that just begunSo don’t setNo, don’t set yetDon’t set so soonOr else I’ll be left in the dark
From my book "A Perfect Harmony." It was supposed to be written by a twelvish year old boy for his three year-old dying sister...

The Truth
Mallory Mar 2010
Please don't talk to me right now'Cuz I'm trying to get you outYour tender touch is nowThe claw that tore my heart apartThe secrets you whispered in my earI wish I didn't hearOf course my love's still trueBut I certainly won't tell you

Our Dance
Mallory Feb 2010
Neither of us could tell when one song ended and the other started, for they blended together into one endless tune. To us, the songs didn’t have an end and neither did our dance. It was like the shades or the sunset that we danced in, the backdrop of the song. Pinks, purples, reds, and oranges, all mixed together to represent the guitar, piano, passion, love, hope, and fear in our song. We were creating our own melody, our own song. We were singing it, dancing it, and living it, and it lasted for an hourAnd then it ended.No, it didn’t end. It just moved on to a different part, like the sunset. The sky was still there, just in a different part of its song. First it would darken, to the navy colors of midnight, the full moon a bright hold in the sky, as the stars glittered around it. Next, the sun would rise again, slowly reclaim its place as the ruler of the sky, as the darkness turned to light. Then, the sun would shine for the rest of the day, against a blue the color of Jonathan’s eyes. Finally, the sun would tire, and begin to sink again, and the night shift would begin. Our song would continue on a different night. The sunset was our chorus, the repeating melody that held our song together. Everything else was extra verses, little things that added to chorus and made it stronger and fuller.Sometimes, the chorus would change, but it would always be there, because it was the highpoint of the song, the ****** of our story.The universe was the verses.The chorus was us.Together, dancing, free.
This is an excerpt from my book "A Perfect Harmony." You can use it, but give me credit. Also, my book's written more in a paragraph form, so this is probably going to format weird...
