The pain The long, extended pain The hot, dusty trails Four and a half hours The 1500 metres of elevation On technical trails With the technical descents In Pemberton All worth it When you have a good time And complete the full 50km On a bike Very fun In a suffering kind of way

To personify worldview we’ll give it a name We’ll call it Johnny, that isn’t lame! Personifying worldview can be a hard sometimes Try to make it sound human? Fine. Johnny is what makes your decisions It’s in your head, not in your vision Johnny likes to come up with what you like He does it so well, almost god-like You can never tell when Johnny’s there But he influences you everywhere Johnny can tell you what you love Like horses, forests, or all of the above! Johnny is also known as worldview He can help or hurt you, too He can influence everything you do He can lead you in the right way, or leave you askew

Call me Brazilian. Whenever I find myself growing grim About involuntarily pausing before November, I try all things, and achieve what I can. A noble craft, we must die in bearing them. All things remote are never down on any map, Just like coffin warehouses And queer instances where Men take over the world for some sort of a practical joke. Consider the subtleness of devilish men in Tahiti, Full with peace and joy. To enjoy bodily warmth, Some part of you must be a Catskill eagle, Like some souls of which cannibalism Drives the horrors of a half-lived life. Consider all this, then turn to Haitian Tahiti, Where this practical joke is at nobody’s expense but his own. These lines we brought to you by famous quotes from the classic novel, Moby Dick.

Bistecca Alla Fiorentina is my favourite food Whenever I eat it, it raises my mood The juicy steak of which melts in my mouth How I feel will never go south Bistecca Alla Fiorentina is the very best steak To me, when I eat it, it’s better than cake The steak is rubbed in olive oil and herbs This feeling, I could write more than a blurb Bistecca Alla Fiorentina is better than candy Whenever I eat it I feel better than dandy This steak came from a place in Tuscany The taste is so good, it’s not even funny! Bistecca Alla Fiorentina is from the best cut of beef It’s so juicy you can just sink in your teeth You rub the T-bone in olive oil It’s such a good plan, it will never foil! Bistecca Alla Fiorentina is from cows in Florence This steak is of top importance You roast this steak on top of a grill To cook it perfectly you must have skill Bistecca Alla Fiorentina is my favourite meat Whenever I have it, it’s such a treat I hope you learned something about the best type of steak It’s actually real, it isn’t a fake.

Life is like a box of chocolates You never know what you’re gonna get Now though this may be a Forrest Gump Reference It’s all true and yet… Sometimes you may get coconut And sometimes you might get chocolate mint Sometimes you might get Cadbury Chocolate And sometimes you might get Lindt Sometimes in life you just Don’t know what ball life will pitch But sometimes you can cheat By looking at what chocolate is which

Hi everyone, my name is Andrew L. I am in the PLP program in Seycove Secondary, and I am 13. I race cyclocross, XC mountain biking, and XC skiing competitively, and I have done so sine I was 5. I play 3 instruments, the piano, the guitar, and the trumpet.

I think this project was very fun, I learned a lot about poems, and wrote a lot of non-rhyming poems, something I wouldn’t have done last year. I think my poems improved from my first poem to my experience poem.

Smile with a simile Like a lion eating its prey Now go ahead and smile Not once but twice today Smile with a simile Like feeling the wind while riding a bike Sometimes its nice to smile When you do something you like Smile with a simile Because sometimes it’s nice to smile Smile like a Quokka (yes it’s an animal look it up) And do it for a while

The sound of the hub spinning swiftly The sound of the wheels moving on the dirt The feel of the handlebars surely shaking The smell of the forest, forming pictures as I move Down the twisty trail The taste of spit and a bit of dusty dirt The thought of longing for loam The feel of shaking from the roots On the curving and winding trail The sight of the trail and trees ahead of me The sight of dirt and ruthless roots The feel of dirt on my face I wasn’t paying attention to the trail
