Where’s Your Homework?

My homework, having been written by such a clever student, decided that it would be better off trying to make a living on its own, rather than be used to benefit myself.

This morning, I woke up to find a dragon in my room! I quickly dispatched my opponent only to realize my room was demolished. I forgot I had school after this horrific battle and ran out of the house without the homework.

I think it’s in Europe…

Last night, I worked on my homework for three hours. After we were finished, my homework proposed the idea that we should take a break. All I remember after that is waking up this morning.

My homework and I got in a fight. I was trying to tell it that we were over but it was going crazy. I tried to calm it down but it ran out of my house crying and yelling, "It’s not over!" I feel that very soon I will see it again.

The Dog

The dog is a trustworthy thing through and through
The only problem being that annoying drool

Where ever you might be
He would follow at your feet

Should you lose this companion
What would you do then?

Look high and low all day and night
Until your friend is found again

My Room

My room is my favorite place to be
Because in my room
Nothing matters
But at the same time
Everything happens

In my room I can actually think
Anything I think about though
Doesn’t really matter because
Eventually I’ll worry about it again

In my room nothing matters
Because if things did matter
It wouldn’t be my room

Poetry...?

Poetry is confusing
It sometimes is just too much
It’s just a few words on a page
What makes them so special?

These words describe things
But so do normal words
These words tell stories
But so do normal words

Why is poetry so great?

Poetry is something that is made
The words in poetry are special
They have superior meaning
To normal, everyday sentences

These words tell of great adventures
In only a few words
These words show unconceivable emotions
In only a few words

Why is poetry so great?

Because poetry comes from the heart.

I’m Great

I don’t wanna brag but I’m great
My life is documented completely
So people can read about me
And do everything I do

I’m just plain the best there is
Without me everything is nothing
People go crazy without my guidance
Whole cities die in my absence

No one is as good as me
I’m the light in the dark
I’m the matter in space
I’m the inspiration of a generation

I’m the universal model of perfection
Religions have sprouted from me
Omnipotent is my middle name
People worship me

If that wasn’t enough
I’m great because
In the beginning
There was me

Railroad Crossing

Why would we stop at a railroad crossing?
We’re not railroads…so why do we cross here?
Maybe if we wait long enough
We could see a railroad cross here?
I wonder…Do the railroads even know
That they’re supposed to cross here?

The Tree

A soft wind heaves a sigh
Trying to give him some comfort
The tree waves happily
The sigh subsides and the tree
Feeling its work is done
Returns to its normal stoic state
Waiting to wave to the wind
When next he sighs

Snail Race

The snail, a timid creature, crawls out of his hole, hoping for the best.
He takes a short look around, takes a deep breath, and moves as fast as he can.
While on the run, he curses his lack of speed.
Slowly, he gets closer and closer to his goal that previously seemed so close.

Time passes, and it seems that no ground has been made.
He again takes a quick look, to make sure he’s clear for his final stretch.
To his horror, he sees a person walking right towards him.
Luckily, the foot passed over him without touching him.

The only thing he forgot, however, is that humans have two feet…

St. Patrick’s Day

Imaginary little men dressed in green
Run around to happy, upbeat tunes

Everyone dresses green like them
To avoid a painful and unwanted pinch

For fun, we dance an entertaining jig
Or gather with friends and talk

We may never get his lucky charms
But the drink never stops flowing

So take a seat and have a toast with us
Because “It’s St. Patie’s Day, everyone’s Irish.”

Other Things

This morning, I got dressed, showered, and woke up.
Then I ran through the rain to the building, got in my car and headed to school.
With all this backwards, how could I even think straight?

School was over, so I waited intently for the bell.
I sat on my bed, walked through the door, and was finally home again.
With all this backwards, how could I even think straight?

I ate supper and ran to the kitchen eager for a long awaited meal.
Finally done, I went to bed, changed, and watched tv for a while.
With all this backwards, how could I even think straight?

Trying to sleep, I tried to think of other things.
Maybe then, I could think straight…
Instead of about her…

Beautiful Life

Life itself is so beautiful that it and everything that goes with it
Should be taught in every school
Not only the beauty of life, but also how to be a decent person
I wish report cards could look like this:

Common Sense
A
Maturity
A
Learning to Love
A
Life Appreciation
A
