Where Is your Homework?
I gave it to my friend because she needed it more.
I had it for breakfast because I was VERY hungry.
I let it drift away in the wind because I didn't want it.
I just didn't take the time to do it.
Fox
A baby fox can run fast,
23 mph as a matter of fact.
They have all different types of colors,
Usually 4-7 pups come from the mothers.
It stalks man by night,
Without being able to sight.
Admired for their beauty and charm,
Foxes can be mean and cause some harm.
They can live up to 14 years,
They hunt using their sensitive ears.
My favorite place to be is in a car.
You can feel angry,
And sad,
And happy
And no one can stop you.
You can drive to anywhere
To a special place,
Or north,
Or south,
Or east,
Or west.
Anything can happen in a car.
You can drive in any weather.
Or you can choose not to drive at all.
It can take you on an adventure,
Or it can bring you down to earth.
Being in a car and do anything for you.
Help you out when you can’t go anymore,
Give you road rage with other drivers,
Or even make you feel at ease.
Being in a car if my favorite place to be.
Parent Poem
In black and white, yet all dressed up,
He stands beside a big pick-up truck.
Proud of the moment, he stands with his idol,
This picture is framed, so here is its title.
“Old and Young, the two men stand,
Not on a beach, not near the sand.
Just a big soul, a soft one at that,
He was soon to be my father, as a matter of fact.
I was born like this,
Perfect I mean.
I am loved by all
And chased by many.
I am untouchable.
Anything I touch,
Turns to gold.
I am brighter
Than any star shining above.
I don’t laugh at comedians,
They laugh at me.
I never fail
And I never mess up.
Anything I touch,
Turns to gold.
I am what they call
Perfect.
It’s soft, delicate, and can a long way.
The right words can make you float and make you fly,
They can carry you all the way to the sky.
Words can last for hours
Or they can last for days.
Writing poetry can ease your pain,
It can cleanse your soul, like the rain.
Poetry can help you through tough times,
Or even let you make up silly rhymes.
The World is Not A Pleasant Place to Be
By poetry and Drama Students
Inspired by Nikki Giovanni
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 dare not have troubles,
Without people out there to solve them.(RH)
The world is
Not a pleasant place to be without
Someone
My Bed
The day has been long and exhausting.
I am ready to fall into a blissful abyss of sleep.
My bed is the biggest cloud in the sky.
My cloud is the daily escape of problems.
Stop Sign
STOP
Stop, you say?
Does the whole world stop what its doing upon seeing this sign?
When can we go again?
How long must we stay for?
Is the world still turning as well?
Or is mother earth waiting for approval?
Wouldn’t it be wonderful, to just…
Stop?
Shot of the
Game
The game is just beginning,
Who will have the starting favor?
The center player slowly
And carefully
Intimidates the opponent
By dribbling the hockey puck
Between his professional stick
As he waits for a chance.
This is his chance…
Fake left,
Fake right,
As they zoom
One way and another
While the center player
Races his slick skates
Through all of the players
With the help
Of his team mates.
The goalie is shaking
With fear
As the puck
Sails past his gloves
And practically breaks
Through the net behind him
And they have won the first point!
The turkey has been carefully selected
By the head of the house.
She wakes up early in the morning
To prepare for a day of giving thanks.
The best kind of turkey
Is the one that is slow-cooked all day long.
Carefully stuffed with a homemade recipe
Of stuffing that has been passed down.
The bird is now shoved in a bag,
And slid into the oven.
Later, its own gravy is squirted
Upon its top to make it nice and moist.
After hours and hours
Of preparation,
The star chef serves the bird
To all of his loved ones attending.
Backwards
A day filled with love that all of the things I do.
We did problems in geography and worked on a map in geometry.
We worked on social during study hall and were homework during homeroom.
By starving, I was absolutely lunchtime!
Next, we dissected notes in biology and took frogs in personal finance.
We learned more Spanish in language.
To top off sophomore comp, I took a trip to my day.
After school I head for bed and get ready for home.
Laughing should be a school class.
Everyone should have this skill.
Lighten up and just laugh!
Not only do I love laughing,
But I love making people laugh.
Laughing is my life,
Why not earn credit for it?
I just got my report card:
