Minecraft Haiku

Building my first house

In a sunny minecraft day

When a creeper blows

Up and down the mines

Searching for some diamond ore

Armed with a pickaxe

Swimming in lava

Is a weird noob decision

While screaming “mercy”!

Making my first bed

Using wool and wooden planks

Setting my spawn point

Doing PVP

Using swords, bow and arrow

With good enchantments

Eating my first cake

Which tasted really yucky

As I rage quited

Killing the wither

With diamond armor and swords

With lots of potions

Getting an apple

To make a golden apple

With lots of gold blocks

A bunch of brown dirt

With a stack of diamond blocks

To give to a pro

Derek's mothers day card

I made this card for my mum on mothers day and want to share it with you. Derek.

Above me Below me poem by Derek

Above me…   

Brown gnarly branches swayed gently in the calm breeze, while leaves rustled loudly. The chirps from crickets irritated me so much I’ve nearly gone deaf.  

Below me…  

Thick tree roots grabbed at me daring me to fall. The muddy uneven dirt helped the tree roots as I ventured into the unknown. Leaves scattered all around me , surrounding me, the sound of leaves crunching overwhelmed me, it was so intense.

In front of me…  

Vinegar got sprayed at me in the face like a missile, but stinker! Thin, puny branches poked me in the chest while I was holding onto something that would lead me out of this maddens, rope. I could smell victory as I scrambled to the end quickly but carefully.  

Behind me…  

Freezing cold air smashed into my neck, nearly turning me into an ice cube and freezing me to death. Screams of terror echoed around me wrapping me in. Warm, wet hands touched me trying to make me scream, but it was actually pretty relaxing.
