Where is your homework?

I do not know.  It may be in the trash or at home with my mother.  The drawer next to my bed.  The closet in my room.  It may be flying out in the wind unknown to me or you. My homework could be crumpled up in a ball ready to throw at your head.  I do not know where it is.

 

My dog ate it.  I swear that is what happened. My dog swallowed it whole.  no where to be found.  But there is a chance we may see it again.

 

In your hand.  I turned it in just now.  You checked it off in your homework book.  It is A plus work and you should cherish it.  No other students homework

 would be in your hand on time and be A work just like mine. 

 

My homework is in my locker.  I know exactly where it is.  It is in my binder which is in my back pack.  I put it in there this morning before I came to school.  Do not worry it is in my locker.

                                     

 

                          My homework decided to fly to space with the astronauts.  It blew away from me because it thought maybe there is something more to life than being recycled.  It thought that seeing space and floating around above the earth would be more exciting than being written on by me or by your red pen.  The homework has a much better life in store for it now.  It will never come back to the life it had.  It is in space the best place.

The Flaming Dragon

The flaming dragon of hard scales

With fat dragging, enormous tails

 

It breathes fire of flaming death

Make sure he holds his breathe

 

The bright white teeth drenched with blood

Makes your heart shiver and drop with a thud

 

His wings are long as the wavy sea

You can see him when you’re on top of a tree

 

He flies through the night like there is no morning

You don’t know it because you are snoring

 

He lets off sparks with his crystal eyes

The mesmerizing glow makes you look to the skies

 

The flaming dragon isn’t friendly

To touch him it would have to be gently

HOME

Home is where the heart is

Home is where the life is

Home is where dreams come true

Home is where things come unglued

Home is where I love

Home is where you are above

Where you are safe

Where it is plain

Where you can sing so loud no one cares

Where you can dance till you can’t breathe

Where you can eat and eat till you get fat

My favorite place is home

My favorite place is my room

My favorite place is my bed

In bed where I can dream all night

 

Poetry and what it is to me

Poetry is one of a kind.

How it can make you wonder

The way the words can flow together, or can make you think

I wonder if poetry knows how strong it really is

Words can be just as strong as actions

So poetry can be anything

Anything you want and anything you try to explain

Put it on paper!

Put it on stone!

Either way it all is the same

It can be whatever you want it to be

Ego up to the Ceiling!

 

The minute I was born everyone knew me

I am as precious as the only and last Jewel

I can make you smile so big that even the your smile won’t be enough for my joy

I wave my hand to you so polite and sincere that Queen Elizabeth couldn’t have been more envious

I am as gorgeous as the sunset on a summer day

My hair flies in the wind like a bird flies in the sky; gracefully

I can sing higher and brighter than an opera singer in Russia

Everyone who hears my name melts with weakness

But my friendliness is not absurd

I am actually as friendly as a bumble bee with a flower

I have no end to myself

My laugh is as loud and as cozy as your own home

I say what you want to hear, and when I speak you listen

Even though I am five foot, I seem taller than the tallest building in New York City

In fact, New York City is just as big as my ego

 

Rain Drops

 

The rain drops fall down to the earth beneath them

Passing by everything in there flight

Ignoring all signs of destruction

They fall hard

When ending up in pieces on the blasted ground

Tears fall and it starts all over again

The rain drops almost felt like bombs

 

                                             Sign

Are there still carriages pulled by horses?

Strange yet true obviously

For there is a sign that seems to give a warning

Beware there are horses and carriages

They may run you over

Or perhaps pick you up for a quick ride around the park

If you ever see this sign

Be on a look out for the carriages pulled by horses

 

Christmas Snow Ball

Snow on the ground like white paper pieces

I have been waiting for this

Once every year familiar faces come from far away

The hugs and kisses make it even more special

The branches drooping down depressed

From all the white sparkles that fell from the cool sky

Beautiful sparkles of ice gently whisper on top of water

Red and green ribbons flow everywhere

Lights that glisten into the night

Waiting for the Mystery to come in the house

If only the magic would last

 

Hard Love

 

I put out my house

I turn in my heart

 

I sacrifice my all of my nothing

Just for you in my life and out

 

Love can hurt the good

And it hurts when it comes

 

I let go of this thing I hold onto

And to let it fly makes me sink down

 

The bad is only for the best

And to break what was whole

Is just too hard

 

Hold on to the things that make you cry

The hardness might soften

 

Beauty of You

 

You are so beautiful in my mind

It makes me want to tell the whole world about your inside thoughts

The way you talk the way you look the way you hold your self

It’s such an urge to let everyone know

So let’s talk at school

Let’s teach it in class

I want to tell the whole world about your beauty!

So simple yet so complicated

I want it to look like this

Knowing you

A

Loving you

A

Letting everyone else know

A

Letting you know that you are beautiful

A++

    The World is Not a Pleasant Place

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
