Poems and Tracker Jackers

I apologize when I say that I honestly completely forgot about Poem Tootin' Tuesdays. I know. I know. I should be excommunicated or something. A poem:

Annabel Lee

It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love-
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.
The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me-
Yes!- that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we-
Of many far wiser than we-
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
Edgar Allan Poe


About the tracker jackers.. the other day at tennis practice I saw the biggest bee ever. I screamed and ran away like a girl! (And girrrl I do not run away from stuff like that but at least I wasn't the only one) This thing was huge. At least the size of my thumb. Let me tell the rest of the story. We're volleying, right? So this bee (I bet he's like 'The Rock' in his bee hive. We're talking big bee or more like a tracker jacker) lands on me and I shriek and run away! It flies towards Daniel and he hits it over the net next to where I'm standing. Hannah, next to me, beats this bee with her raquet. She showed him what's up! Don't be messin with us tennis players! Anywho then Daniel says that he thought it was the ball! He thought it was the ball. It was that big. Should've been born a tracker jacker. R.I.P wanna-be tracker jacker.
I'll update ya'll later on my life. Stay cool bros and for now... a picture of what my face prob looked like running away from the bee.
