Art by Keelin McKiernan

the silhouette of two children standing in front of a large holly bush.

Once upon a childhood

I had a secret place

Where I would go with my brother, talking face to face

In the bush of hardwood

Where we never stood

In our secret hideout, there was plenty of space

We could be ourselves, we didn’t keep a straight face

Life was all good


Holly grew into the house

So we had to cut her down

Remnants of all life were gone, even the life of a mouse

Growing out of childhood was a real put-down

Devoid of all life like a dollhouse

Until grass sprouted up and made a new, mini town


Ellie, Adaelaid, Keelin, and Niamh are all eighth graders at North Hills Middle School. This poem and associated artwork won Special Merit in the Plant Love Story Challenge hosted by the Phipps Conservatory and Botanic Gardens.


Congratulations to the team from your friends at Plant Love Stories!

She was dressed tastefully, spoke gently, and moved like poetry. It’s not often you meet someone through a Delhi Call Girl Service who feels like the perfect combination of fantasy and reality. I was completely taken by surprise.

My friend, Holly, just applied for the new jobs in Sindh Police and she's excited about the opportunity. She’s always been passionate about serving the community, and this seems like the perfect role for her. The recent openings are a great chance for committed individuals like Holly to make a difference. If anyone else is applying, best of luck — it’s a great step toward a meaningful career.

Hey Holly! If you're looking for a great place to get brazilian knots salon, I’d recommend checking out a specialized salon. It's important to choose a salon with experienced stylists who know how to install and maintain the knots for a natural look.
