Alaska is a place I would love to
visit someday.
Burton Hollow Swim Club is where I spend
the majority of my time in the summer.
Christmas music has been playing in
my house and in my car since October.
Dancing is not one of my strongest skills.
Eight years is how long I’ve been a
swimmer, and eight years too many.
First grade was the worst year of
school for me, I ended up getting suspended for a day.
Gator is the name of my first pet,
a clumsy old chocolate lab.
Hawaii was one of the most
beautiful places I’ve ever been to; I hope to be back soon.
Ice cream is something I can’t live
without; cookie dough is the best flavor.
June of 2015 is when I completed my
first triathlon, something I hope to continue doing.
“Kick the Dust Up” was the name of
the Luke Bryan concert I went to this summer, country music is constantly
playing in my house.
Leaving home to go to college is
the thing I am most nervous for at the moment, even though it’s a couple years
away.
My full name is Ashley Elizabeth D’Amour.
Napping after a long swim practice
is one of my favorite things to do, but it’s a rarity in my life.
October 25 is my half birthday,
which means my real birthday is April 25.
Peanut butter is my absolute
favorite food, also the name of the color of paint on my bedroom walls.
Questions from my parents after I get
home from school are something I dread.
Red Cross is who I got my lifeguard
certification through so that I could work this summer at a swim club.
Spain is something I’m very excited
for this summer, I am fortunate enough to be going with one of my best friends,
Katie.
Taking time to spend with my sister
is something I cherish, since she’ll be leaving for college soon.
Umbrellas are a good sign to me
since I love rainy weather.
Vacuuming our house is one of the
things my mom makes me do that I despise.
X-rays are something I got used to
when I had my appendix taken out in the eighth grade.
Yellow trees and late night
bonfires are the things I look forward to the most when autumn comes.
Zoos are very fascinating to me;
the best one I’ve been to is the San Diego Zoo.
This is very well written! I also liked the vacuuming line because my mom makes me do that too and it is terrible. I see no mistakes!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to go to Spain! It is going to be a trip of a lifetime and I am so lucky I get to go with you! Good job on your poem!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your poem! It was both detailed and humorous! Also, good use of the letter y.
ReplyDeleteThis is very detailed Ashley and a great effort. I can't believe you competed in a triathlon! You go! My main constructive comment is to try to keep the line-lengths more even for the flow.
