How can practicing cursive be interesting? When it's for illuminated manuscripts, on parchment paper, and with a quill!
We collected chicken feathers from around school, soaked them over night in water with a little bleach, then baked cat food cans full of sand at 350 for thirty minutes, then stood the ends of the feathers up in the hot sand until it cools. This hardens the feather tips enough to hold a point and retain ink. Then we sliced the tip of each feather at an angle.

The blue prints of the Boston tea party.
The t-chart of papa holo.
The domain of ka’amaai.
The alphabetizing of haupia.
The specis of how to make a scroll.

Whatever she needs is given.
Whatever the world throw at her, she can take.
What ever is stored is needed.
Whatever she has laid out will be accomplished.
Whatever she doesn’t have, she shall have.
Whatever her soul craves she shall have.
Everything thats hard she will overcome.
Everything that has been a war will be won.

I seem to be (blue)
But really I am (Purple)
I seem to be at school
But really I am in class
I seem to be calm
But really I am an animal
I seem to be a slow runner
But really I am a fast runner
I am like a turtle
I wish for the strength to survive the next day.

I seem to be red but really I’m green.
I seem to be at home but I’m really at school.
I seem to be an animal but really I’m a human.
I seem to be playing soccer but really I’m playing football.
I am like a tall mountain.
I wish i could go to disney land.

Lets not go to Paris ,
Don’t talk to me of romance ,
Talk to me of something embarrassing ,Don’t mess with our hostage,
Lets not be resentful ,
Lets get angry , Lets be quiet ,
Lets not get a hotel room ,
Dont mess with the morass I’ve been through , Lets walk through a dark ally ,
Don’t be so tearful ,
Lets walk in the dark ,
Lets not avoid the street fighters ,Lets go to the south so we can avoid staring ,
Like I said, Lets be embarrassing.

Whatever she needs was always with her
Whenever the world denies her pushes her down
Whatever she has laid down to go forth in life
Whenever her life isn’t right, she is strong enough to push throng
Everything thats been bad has a reason
Everything that is broken is now restord,
Everything is now fine with friends by her side

My
I seem to be white but really I’m brown
I seem to be the river but really I’m the mountain
I seem to be a cute cat but I am a mean big dog. Quiet.
Kiaura: Goodbye
This life I have lived is now gone,
All of the choices all along,
Has lead me to this day.
That one day when you have to walk away
My gray hair and pale eyes
My life that no longer has a life,
as I look back on this broken road,
The one that fun and joy use to hold
Through my life of ups and downs,
I did my best to never frown.
To always say smile throughout he tears,
And learned to conquer all my fears.
When having to chose between two things;
Life and death.
I would honestly say to die
For I have lived my life to the fullest.
Goodbye.
