Where is your homework?

Here. My homework in fact is right here. I was just messing with you because I love to see you mad. Unless you aren’t mad, then the homework is a wasted effort.

There: I purposely left my homework at the park. Here is a map, good luck finding it.

Here. My homework is right here, in my mind. I would write it, but it would demean the point I am trying to prove about wasting paper.

There: My homework is with my parent/guardian for further examination.

Here: My homework is right here, you just didn’t see it.

 

 

The Worm

Such a simple body and nothing to lose

a decision between arms and legs I don’t think he’ll choose

He creeps around by night

Then he’s out of sight

Of course he’s prey to the bird

But will he lose hope? No way, that’s absurd.

He wiggles one way and jiggles the other

That way he can escape the mother

So the worm lives to see another day

But we’ve got the rest of summer, it’s only May!

 

Day on the river

 

The place I like best.

I like Canoeing on the Niobrara River best.

No work

No school

All play

All day

Waterfalls splashing

Canoes Crashing

Shoot water balloons at the tubes

Nail all the noobs

Nice sunburns

Insane turns

Eat chili at night

Dead tired out goes the light.

 

 

The end! J

 

What is a poem?

 

A poem is just words blended harmoniously together to make a song

A song to stick in your mind with a meaning

A meaning to change the world

A world that needs a change

A change to understand more about each other

An understanding that is what’s right and what’s wrong

A right that will bring peace

A peace that you will find in a poem, in a song, in the meaning, in a world, in a change, in an understanding, in a right, in a peace, in a poem

 

I am a BIG Deal.

 

I am one foxy Cleopatra

I have the whole world wrapped around my breakfast bar because I don’t even lift a finger

I eat lightning and crap thunder
I’m so hot even my hotness is hotter than hot

 

I’m so fast I run circles around fastness

I am the lightning that I eat

My cheerios are sprinkled with so much greatness I am at max great

 

I am so rich, I own the world
yeah that little worm you are using to fish with, I own it

I am the greatest thing that ever happened to the world

EVER!

 

I am eagle eyes

I know what you did last summer… I saw you driving with friends from 50 miles away.

How did she do that? You might wonder,

I can fly

That’s right I am the biggest bestest bird in the sky

 

I am common sense

New Phrase: What Would Amanda Do?

I am a Big deal.

 

The World Is Not A Pleasant Place to Be

by 8th hour Cybercomp

 

The world is not a pleasant place

To be without

Someone to hold and be held by

 

The sun wouldn’t smile

If there weren’t

A world

To smile back (MV)

 

You could never wish

Upon a star if

No one put them up there

And made them glow (JJ)

 

A flower would not grow

Without the laughter

Of the sun (JM)

 

A flower would die

If not watered by

Love. (SR)

 

A star would not shimmer

Without the moon

To make it glimmer. (ET)

 

A campfire would not be enjoyed

Without laughs

To accompany it. (AK)

 

Fields would not grow

Without rays

From the sun. (LJ)

 

Space is a lonely place

Without

The human race (JF)

 

The grass could not be green

Without the caring tears from the sky

A bird could not survive

Without the trust of a tree  (AB)

 

The sky could not be so high

If no one held it upon their shoulders

To guard their people

And make it real. (MH)

 

You would never be warm or see light

If the sun was not there

To keep it all bright (AW)

 

A moose would not squeal

If there were no hunters

To harm it. (JA)

 

A tree wouldn’t grow

If the soil

Wouldn’t accept it (AC)

 

Music would not be pleasant

If our hearts weren’t there

To grasp it (AK)

 

The world would not shine

If the sun wasn’t to smile

If the grass wasn’t so green

And the sea wasn’t so blue. (NM)

 

The world is

Not a pleasant place to be without

Someone

 

The Spotlight

Passing by the Hy-Vee floral shop after work I spot a gerber daisy.

My favorite color of course I decide to purchase this sight

When I got home I decide to put this beauty into a vase and display it for everyone to see

Every day walking past that daisy it would blast its light into my retina

I would be stunned as if some type of deer in a headlight

Though its light would only shine on me, as if I were the celebrity on stage

But now the light is dull and I am famous no more

 

No Standing any Time

Don’t stop walking towards your goal. If you stop, the people that follow the signs will catch up to you. If you give up you will pay the price for your mistake. When you stand life will fly by you at lightning fast pace, and all you will be left with is regret. You will wish you would have pushed through your temptations to stop and take a breather, but instead you gave in.

 

 

New Years

People out and about with friends and family. Holding glass cylinders in the air, anticipating the rest of the night. Dressed like royalty, they look as classy as possible. Smiles and applause as they in unison cheer while watching an imminent ball of light drop on their TV screen. Hoping for something more than hospitality from their loved one when the clock hits 12:00. They crowd together and count down from thirty. Finally the clock strikes midnight, everyone scrambles for another partner to share a moment. Then finally the party begins, children go home to bed, and on with the new year with a bang.

 

Incubus

Your lyrics transcend through my eardrum with great magnificence

If you were a drug I would be dead from my addiction within one minute of listening

Your image and composure is so strong I don’t think that anything can break it

Brandon Boyd, your lyrics and percussion complete me. I am dying to read you book.

Mike Einziger, I am so jealous of your skills

Ben Kenny, you are the greatest bassist ever!

Jose Pasillas, your drums are like the beat of my enthusiasm

Chris Kilmore, you rock my world

If Incubus was to be taught in high school my report card would look like…

Pollution

You make me sick

You’re killing me with every breath

You’re so easy to enhance but not so easy to deplete

You are literally making this world a living inferno

Didn’t your mother ever teach you different you fool?

When did this get so bad

Soon lives will be lost because of you

I will stop you now

The Goal

The middle of the second half of the game

We are tied 1-1

 

They are coming at me full speed

Big mistake to dribble too far out in front of them

 

They fake left

I take it right

 

Off I go down the field

I cut it in towards the goal

 

My opponent stops since there’s no where to go

One split second and a wind up

 

A head on toe punch and off it goes

Soaring though the air as it gains altitude

 

Closer and closer it got to the goal

It looks like it’s going to go over

 

The wind gives up a little

Straight down the ball comes at a n eighty degree angle

 

The goalie just brushes the ball with her finger tips

In it the ball goes just sweeping the net

 

My heart pounds with excitement

A huge grin appears as I jog back to my position so I can start all over again

 

 

MY DAY

I woke up Incubus and listened to this morning

I played with my toast and made my puppy

I watched some hair and washed my TV

 

… all to make this day enjoyable instead of miserable

 

I ran off to school and sped inside

I speed walked to the day and day dreamed about my locker

Eating as much water as possible and drinking a lot of junk food

 … just to calm my worries

 

… all to make this day enjoyable instead of miserable

 

Now the day is track meet and I journeyed to the done

 Just trying my last not to be best

But when the day is done it wasn’t so sleep, now I’m off to bed so I can bad

 

… so I can worry about tomorrow

 

… just to calm my worries

 

… all to make this day enjoyable instead of miserable
