Gemma's+Dilemmas

Erm, Hi. I'm Gemma, the girl with the short brown hair in class. i'm in 9CH, da BEST class EVER and writing is, as you say, my forte. As you can see from me username and pagename, i have gotten into quite a few dilemmas in my life. therefore i decided to unembarresedly (is that even a word?) announce it to the world. ta-da! well i am pretty lazy and i love to start things but not finish them, so keep on reminding m to finish that story. ta. See you around.

I have been made editor of the earthquake magazine, and here is my poem for it. whaddaya think?

Ten thousand broken hearts  Deep rumble Stomach twists A creak, a groan, a roar. Roar! Roar! Screaming now, faster, faster!
