~Amanda Schlesinger~

An author of luck

As she is getting ready to publish her first book ,

Many people wish her the best of luck and,

Amazing reviews to come and a lot of

New friends to make while she starts writing more

Delightful stories because,

Amanda loves to write books!

The odd out family

Some think they are German which

Causes a lot of confusion that needs some serious

Help or else someone might start

Leaving false rumors that

Everyone might start to believe but the

Schlesinger's are always fixing things even

If it is not at all there problem but they

Never give up trying to make the world

Greater in any way shape or form

Even if it a little challenging but if it is

Right then they are as happy as clams .

~Amanda Schlesinger~

Fried Chiken complication

Famous for greasiness and, fat that is

Rather very rapturing but recision is very radical

In times when all you want to do is eat unhealthy,

Even if it means you will add bad food to your system

During time you might get sick of it...

Chilling out with it does not

Help to try to make

It any less gross but,

Chicken always taste so yummy and it,

Kindly always awakes you with its greasy crumbly layers

Even if your try your best not to make a mess it

Never stops your temptation.

The loving tree

                                                                       I am

                                                       A small tree

                                                     That can bring joy to thee. 

                                                Come join me on my soft leaves

                                          And take a rest. My branches will reach

                                      Out for a hug, as you give me tight little tug.

                                                         While I am still young

                                                We shall play in the midst of the day.

                                            We can dance, and play with my luscious

                                 Leaves leaving lovely laughter in the light misty air.                              When autumn comes, my leaves

                                                      Will turn into the colors of the

    Rainbow, telling you to go.

        But don’t worry

   Soon enough summer

                                                  Will come and we can

                                                           Play again.

Seasons Greetings

Falling from the sky

Into very cold wet sleet

Forming chilliness. 

The sun beams down, like

  A proud beaming little star

  Anxious to be free.

The leaves are faintly

Falling for festivity

Flawless fall colors

The bees are buzzing

 Within all of the flowers

 In the warm sunshine.

Rocks Dream Silly pandas

When dawn comes,

the light sheds a

twinkling ray of light

down onto the glistening rocks.

When evening arrives,

the moon will shine down

on the rocks casting

an eerie shadow. 

The panda bear likes to

hide way up high in the air.

They are big and fluffy and

sometimes small yet chubby.

they have a big appetite for

yummy bamboo that they

can sit there and eat.

Broken love

She thought he had loved her.

But all he did was use her for her heart.

Now she is lost in a big blur, 

While she watches her heart fall apart. 

He lost his commitment, and shattered her trust. 

She willowed in pain as she realized it was all the same. 

His love for her was swept away like dust,

Her love for him burned like a flame. 

Her heart heaved a sigh as she felt the love melt. 

Now she knew she won’t be ready to love again.  

Every day she sits alone and all she can do it dwelt, 

She knows soon, she will no longer have to suffer in pain.

~Amanda Schlesinger~

Love not as it seems

When he came near, she knew all her troubles would vanish along with the fear. 

His love for her was like unbreakable chains, he would never trade her heart, he had said.

Every day they were together he would hug her and would whisper “I love you” into her ear. 

Their love grew like fire in a forest neither knowing it would cause heartbreak and dread.

~Amanda Schlesinger~

A simple lie

When he left and she could not be with him darkness started to fill her sorrowful heart.

He always told her love was a flower, yet the seed she was for him was something he no longer had.

Then one day she discovered something painful and realized she was not at all smart.

She discovered he was never committed, this whole time he was cheating and it made her sad.
