Stella’s Beloved Garden

Posted on March 25, 2021 by lillian

Hey, everyone! I wrote this story inspired by World Water and World Poetry Day this past week. Here are some related stories: Festive Seasons, Rainbow’s Crushes, and Magical Unicorns In Love. Anyways I hope you enjoy!

Once there was a girl named Novella who was often called by her nickname Stella. Stella often loved the garden in the mansion where she would do everything and so all was well or at least so she thought.

Until one day, there was a huge fire that blew across the land. Stella was very sad to leave her beloved garden behind but she knew that her garden would always be in her heart.

So Stella and her family left to go to their grandparent’s castle. Stella had a fun time learning and playing in the castle. But when she grew up, she felt the need to rebuild her family’s mansion and her beloved garden.

So she left her grandparent’s castle though it was hers now. She started the long hard process of building the mansion. While she started building the mansion, she thought about adding a lake to the backyard.

She had her friends and animals helping her so within a few weeks, Stella was making an indoor pool for her mansion. Eventually when that was done, she replanted her beloved garden.

She read poetry to her beloved plants in her garden every day. The poetry went something like this:

Leaves bloom like flowers;
Flying in the wind gracefully
Soaring as far as the eye can see

Beautiful birds fly fast
as flowers dance in breezes;
the pretty flower shined brightly

Butterflies perched on a branch
Sitting on a flower showing beauty
Where the breeze lies within my hand

After she read poetry to the plants, Stella watched the plants grow then she went for a swim then went to the backyard to sit by the lake to watch the sunset. This repeated every day until she passed away peacefully.

She became famous for her beloved garden after she left earth. Later on, her family joined Stella in the great beyond so they happily lived as a family forever and so they lived happily ever after.

That was the end of the story. I hope you enjoyed it!

Festive Seasons

Posted on February 7, 2021 by lillian

Hey, everyone! I made this inspired by Christmas. Anyways here are some related blog posts: https://lilliandarnell.com/2021/02/06/rainbows-crushes/, https://lilliandarnell.com/2020/04/04/the-sugar-touch/, https://lilliandarnell.com/2020/03/19/roses-of-spring/. I hope you enjoy!

Peppermint in the sky above
Smelling like festive mints
sweet scents feel the air

Cinnamon dances
like brown snow
as cinnamon fades
through the dark

Pine trees sway and dance
Like wind and dancers
Spreading the scent
As fast as fire

As festive music
Rings in my ears
Singing and dancing

That’s the end of the poem!

The Sugar Touch

Posted on April 4, 2020 by lillian

Hey, everyone! I decided to do a sugary themed poem this time. Here are some other poems: https://lilliandarnell.com/2020/04/01/water-of-summer/, https://lilliandarnell.com/2020/03/19/roses-of-spring. I hope you enjoy!

Sugar flies through
the sweet air;
landing softly on
your lips

Licking lips
as you taste
the sweetness
pf sugar

You eat the sugar
only to want more
as you start
on your day.

This is the end of the poem. I hope you enjoyed!

Water of Summer

Posted on April 1, 2020 by lillian

Hey, everyone! This poem is a little late but this is a poem for World Water Day & World Poetry Day. Here is some related poems: https://lilliandarnell.com/2020/03/19/roses-of-spring/, https://lilliandarnell.com/2019/03/21/poems-of-nature/, and https://lilliandarnell.com/2018/03/21/fun-poem-extravaganza/. I hope you enjoy!

Water waves
swirlin’ through like a waterspout;
splashing energetically

Dancing waves
of water curl
and touch you

As you catch a ride
on a huge wave
the wave of water
comes up to greet you.

That’s the end of the poem. I hope you enjoyed!

Peaceful Summer

Posted on June 16, 2019 by lillian

Hey, everyone! This is a poem I wrote for someone in Tasmania, Australia on June 7th, 2019. Here are some related blog posts; https://lilliandarnell.com/2019/06/15/how-the-sombrero-hat-came-to-be/, https://lilliandarnell.com/2019/06/01/how-liana-and-summer-came-to-be-best-friends/, and https://lilliandarnell.com/2019/05/20/my-dream-story/. I hope you enjoy!

Stars shine bright

as diamonds in the sky.

Stars dance all night long

like a bird flapping its wings.

Stars wink at the Moon

like the ocean waves to the Sun.

The moon shines down

as silver in the night sky.

The moon brightens at the Sun

like gold glimmers in the sand.

The Sun glides gracefully

as a swan swimming.

The Sun blushes when the Ocean

shows the Sun’s reflection

as bright as sparkly snow.

The ocean gently whispers

Into my ear like a seashell.

That’s the end of the poem. I hope you enjoyed! What’s your favorite summer thing? I would love to hear your answers!

Fundraising for the 2019 Chromosome 18 Family Conference – Poem Creativity

Posted on March 27, 2019 by lillian

(This is our group photo from the 2018 Conference in Baltimore)

Hey, everyone! For this year’s fundraising efforts for my family to attend the Chromosome 18 Conference in Colorado Springs, I decided to make customized poems. Here’s some information on the poems:

The poems will be nature themed, fairy themed, mermaid themed, or unicorn themed. Every poem created will be different and uniquely yours! The poem will be made into a lovely graphic image and emailed to you.

Now, here’s some information on what the Chromosome 18 annual conference means to me:

The Chromosome 18 conference means a lot to me because I get to meet new friends and spend time with old friends. It also means a lot to me because I get to travel to a new city with my family.

Me with Rebecca

Macy and me.

The Chromosome 18 conference helps me get over my fears and my emotions. It helps me feel brave, courageous, and enjoyable. Here’s an example: In July 2017, when my family and I were inside the airport, I was fearful, nervous, tired, and afraid; yet, the view I got from the airplane was amazing and it was all worth it.

I want to check out the swimming pool and have fun with new and old friends. I also want to explore the city if the weather and temperature are good. I also want to check out new restaurants.

Here’s a poem as an example:

Butterflies dash and play
Within the golden sunbeams
Dancing in the afternoon sky.

Butterflies fly in the sky like a colorful moving rainbow
Glimmering in the sky.
The sky sparkling like water.

Butterflies dance freely along
the water.
Water sways as it’s greeting the butterflies.

Fun Poem Extravaganza

Posted on March 21, 2018 by lillian

Hey, everyone! As you know, March 21st is World Poetry Day. I’ve decided to write a poem and add a poem from last year and this year to celebrate. Here are some related blog posts: https://lilliandarnell.com/2016/10/17/lillians-triple-poems/, https://lilliandarnell.com/2014/03/13/easter-poems/, and https://lilliandarnell.com/2014/03/12/what-am-i-poems/. I hope you enjoy!

Here’s the first poem I wrote today:

A flower blooms in
the midst of winter
knowingly lasting

Forever running in
a sea of white
as the sun shines.

As its golden petals laid its petals
softly to its soft comfy bed as
it rests in winter.

Here’s the second poem that I wrote last year:

Birds dance in the breeze like ballet dancers
Flowers flow from trees like a waterfall
Trees dance in the sea of grass

Here’s the final poem:

Water is a land
of freedom

Freedom is a gift
of emotion and pride.

While pride is a sea
full of joy.

Emotion is an ocean
full of joy and happiness
with anger and sad falling behind it

As water waves
like a sea of freedom
knowing its beauty awaits.

That’s the end of the poem extravaganza. I hope you enjoyed!

Lillian’s Triple Poems

Posted on October 17, 2016 by lillian

Hey, everyone! I’ve decided to put together 3 poems for you to read. I got inspired by Leap Into Poetry by Avis Harley. I hope you enjoy!

Alliteration:

Moons meet mountains.

Simile:

The sun rises like a bright flashlight. The moon rises like a beaming light. The sun sets as a wink in the sky. The moon sets as a vanilla cookie in the awakening sky.

Riddle:

I’m awake in the nighttime. I sleep during the daytime light. I watch the sunset and the sunrise every day and night. Can you guess who I am?

Yes-No Poem (Just answer yes or no to the questions):

Are sunsets colorful? Are sunrises beautiful? Are sunsets breathtaking? Are sunrises full of color? Do sunsets and sunrises rise and set at the same time?
