The Battle Of Boyne - my poem what do you think?

Full question:

it's short and not the best, but still, what's your opinion? THE BATTLE OF BOYNE The sun showed over the mountains Glowing lightly on the scene A scene that promised to hurt A scene that was for naught The breeze sang in the trees And the silence ended Early in the morning The battle began It was between the Catholics And Protestants William the Orange said, “I am the King.” But so did James. They were going to battle it out Who was better? They stood face to face Over the Boyne River. In a split second James was diverted His troops were split His forces made weak William charged heartily forward His white mare carrying him He led his troops Facing into the battlefield James ran He hid He didn't stand by his troops He would rather stand back and watch His troops weren't trained As compared to the Williamites They were just farmers With no war skill at all They lost quickly Leaving behind So many dead William took Dublin And never looked back On that day that they called The Battle of Boyne

Best answer:

That's very good! A little shaky in some parts, but overall, a great read! You're a talented writer/composer!

Best answer:

I would definitely be reading handle with care by Jodi Picult and The Choice by Nicholas Sparks, I've read them both before and they are both amazing. I found that they were interesting, the one by Jodi Picult sparked so many emotions inside myself, that I was laughing, crying and feeling suspense all at the same time, It took me a few chapters to really get into the book, but it was well worth it!

What is the best rocker Snowboard?

Full question:

I am looking to buy a snowboard, I have been snowboard for about 3 years going on average 4 times a year to Boyne mi and places in Ohio (no powder) I love going fast down hills and hitting medium sized jumps but recently I've gotten bored of that, so I have been in the park. Especially, at the small hills that I go to. I also want to try to make my run longer and try buttering and ride the edges of the run. Although, I have a stiff camber board right now from 5150 that really doesn't do the job. To sum it up I think I am looking for a flexy park board (probably rocker?) that can still do all mountain stuff. I weigh 135lb and 5'9" I am looking for maybe a old version of a board in order to stay in price range around $200 some of the boards I am looking at is Signal Park Series Camber Snowboard 2011(last years version) 2011 K2 WWW ROCKER SNOWBOARD Burton clash 2012(can get for $199)

Best answer:

If you want an extremely flexible almost noodly board the WWW will be great. Also, the Rome Artifact Rocker will be a similar board and that one's real nice. If you want a park board rocker version but still stable on runs maybe check out the K2 ParkStar. I just bought one of those brand new for $225 (2011 version). I don't know much about the Signal or the clash, but if you check out reviews on youtube you'll get a good idea of what you're getting. Also, google review from people who have used the boards. Also, the Sierra Stunt snowboard would fit your needs well if you wanna check that one out. I think it's only a 2010 version, but it's a $500 board and everywhere sells it for around $250 now. It sounds really good. Those are the main boards I've been checking out that are close to your price range. Hope I helped.
