What if Poem

What if...What if...What if…
What if Brent payed for a big rent
 for a cozy little tent. 
What if a zoo truned into a loo. 
What if a cat truned into a bat and 
the bat truned into a rat. 
What if Bod Marley truned into to barley.
What if charlie went to Bail.

What if...What if...What if
I Sanah have read your writhing and I like the way you used good vocab.

Why do stars twinkle?

Why do stars twinkle?
At night have you stared at the sky and you can see the glimmering.But your eyes are tricking. Star don’t scintillate.Its just an opatical illustion.
Stars don’t filker because of the earth’s atomosphere.You can tell  the diffence bettwen a star planet.Because planets don’t twinkle.This because of strong turbulce in the atmosphere.This makes the stars fliker.

I like how you used vocab maybe next time you can work on your spelling shreya
