The party went on for years.
She slept for what felt like years.
The wrestler’s stomping shook the earth.
The boy ran faster than a cheetah.
We don’t HAVE one.
There were a million decisions to make.
We have an infinite amount of ideas.
The summer stretched on for an eternity.
I went to the moon and back looking for you.
I am so hungry I could eat a big horse.
The whole world went to see the hockey game.
I spent a million years in class learning my vast array of knowledge.

Delicious decadent divine double chocolate chip cookies.
Murph’s mighty magnificent massive manly magical heart.
Rick roared in his red robe when it ripped running down the road.
Busy bumble bees.
The sweet summer scent filled the sad space.
Susan slyly stole Sally’s sardines, so Sally sadly slit Susan’s stomach.
Whole watery wet watermelon.
My partner has it but she’s not here.

Roll on, thou dark and deep blue ocean.
Oh summer, when are you coming back?
I cursed that coffee table when I stubbed my toe.
Oh God, please answer my desperate prayers. (NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO – maybe later)
Lord, exempt me from this exam!
Fall, snow, fall!
Oh world, why aren’t your days longer?
Summer, why must you fly by so fast?
Death, you are my enemy.
Judge, O you Gods, how dearly Caesar loved him.

The firehall burnt down…oh, the irony (saying it out loud makes it verbal).
Just won the lottery; what a misery.
Back when we didn’t have electricity, we watched TV by candlelight.
That class was a slice of heaven.
The brussel sprouts were delightful.
I get kind of sick of winning.
That was a close game; we only lost by 50 points.
This sunburn feels so good on my shoulders.
Thanks for all the money, I can almost buy a sucker with it.
Oh great, I failed bio.
Losing is my favorite thing.
She couldn’t be happier when she achieved the mark of 5% on her math mid-term.

The snow on the ground was as white as the clouds and glistened brighter than diamonds.
I looked as the clouds danced by like a newborn lamb.
The northern lights created cracks in the sky’s equator.
Her hair flowed like a waterfall.
The clouds looked as if they were soft cotton candy.
When I looked around, I saw Sally staring at me.
The flowers bloomed in an explosion of colors.
The sun’s bright beauty blinded me.
The warm orange glow of the sunset caused the deep blue sea to shimmer before it faded into the night.
Bright as the sun.
The sea was a beautiful painting in the vast open world.
The rainbow was plastered on the sunset like paint on fabulously perfect van Gogh.

The lunch bell rang like music in my ears.
The sounds of springtime birds were like a quick glimpse of heaven.
The sounds of the flute felt as if silk pierced through my ears.
You could hear the grief around the world.
The crowd was in an uproar as he scored the game winner.
The train went screech as it came to a halt.
Smack, as the hyperbowl hit the floor.
The whistle of the wind in the trees whined in my ears.
The piercing cry of the child echoed in my head.
The brakes squealed like a newborn baby.
The blades cut the ice like nails on the chalkboard.
The wind whistled in my ears hearing the children’s sweet laughter.

Um, just give me a sec. The smell of the big brown bacon pieces raced up my nose.
The smell of daisies danced in my head after walking through the garden.
The smells invaded my nostrils and caused my eyes to wade in seawater.
The smell of the apple pie was intoxicating.
The gust of wind brought up the sweet smell of lavender.
The wet dog smelled as bad as Sam’s barn on a hot summer’s day. (That’s gross)
When I walked into the kitchen, it smelled like heaven.
The sweet warm scent of cinnamon floated by me.
The sweet smell of chocolate chip cookies danced around the house, mocking me.
The freshly-lit candles smelled better than a bright red rose.
The barn smelled like a fresh pile of poop.
As he flipped open the first page of a musty novel, he could smell the stale moldy stench that told him how it had been enjoyed
by generations throughout the decades.

The soft warm cookie melted in my mouth like cotton candy.
The taste of the hot cocoa soothed my chilled my bones like a cough drop soothing my sore throat.
The taste of that morsel brought me back to when people were proud and paparazzi was persistent.
My tongue went on fire when the coffee hit it.
The soft chewy goodness of a melted marshmallow.
The spicy wings burned my tongue like a marshmallow over a hot fire.
The mint brought a warm chill to my mouth.
My tongue tingled and my jaw ached when I ate the sour jujube.
The delectable velvet cake lingered on my tongue the whole day.
My mouth watered when I saw the freshly-baked cookies come out of the oven.
The steak melted in my mouth and I was in heaven.
The hot coffee burned her tongue, causing a numbness void of any possible taste of bittersweetness.

The ice stuck to my finger as I took it out of the freezer.
The fuzzy blanket touched my face, and I happily sighed as it warmed it.
The stone was so smooth, it could have been sanded for trillions of years.
Her skin was as smooth as porcelain.
The hard crusty shell cracked in his hand.
The peach felt as fuzzy as Sam’s upper lip.
The hot cold radiator warmed my hands.
The warm waves lapped at my toes as the grains of sand moved over my feet.
The rough grainy sand slithered through my fingers.
Her hair was as soft as clouds.
The cold hard hail cut my face.
As I pulled the band of rubber back across my wrist, the shooting self-inflicted pain throbbed.

The glow of the neon green light bounced off me as I walked past it.
The deep red blood seeped into the pavement as if it were paint splattered on a wall.
The colors of chocolate and vanilla twisted and danced around each other to form the perfect ice cream cone.
The freshly-fallen snow was as white as a swan’s stomach.
The vast amount of fallen leaves left you searching for color.

The green grass grew gigantically as the feeling of summer became greater.
A bright flash of orange fired across the sky as the sun sank into the ocean.
The pink feathers of the flamingo reminded me of fluffy soft cotton candy.
The bright yellow balloon soared in the dreamy blue sky.
The vibrant red car sped by and looked as if it were in flames.
The sunnyness is joy and hope, the very sight bringing warmth and happiness to the deepest, darkest depths of the school.

When the first snow falls, people put on their toques and gloves; when the hockey starts, then you know winter is starting.
The hot sun’s rays beamed on my face like fire roasting marshmallows and I knew summer was here.
The fresh leaves of the great maple shot out of their buds like newly-birthed butterflies to accept the kiss of sun’s rays.
It was so still in the dead of winter, all you could hear was the popping of the trees from the cold.
Layers upon layers means winter is here.
Windy white winters.
Oh summer, your arrival seems light years away.
The hot summer day reflected off her dull face while the sun smiled in the sky.
The leaves crunched beneath my feet as I trodded through the rusty-colored forest, taking my first walk through autumn.
Summer: no school, soaking in the sun, and sipping on a cold one.
Summer soothes sorrow.
The snow crumbled beneath my feet, weaving a pitter-patter trail of my prints as tracks and the sweet smell of the crisp air
could not have been a better indicator of winter.
