After the first week:
1. A blog post will open up each Monday instead of every single day.
2. Super posts must include seven poems representing the seven days included in one week.
3. By the end of the month, you should have posted a total of 30 poems (for an average of one per day).
What will be the same as the Slice of Life Story Challenge:
Building on our classroom community that we have developed, comments are encouraged. Remember to be encouraging, sharing, and positive. Any negativity will be deleted and participation points will be taken away.
At the end of National Poetry Month:
Each student will present their best/favorite poem to the class. You can create a YouTube video*, a dramatic audio recording, or read it aloud in class. For DE's, if you do not have the ability to do a shareable video or audio recording, you may send the poem to me, and I will read it for you. This last option is a last resort because you will not experience the public speaking portion of the assignment.
*Please set all YouTube videos that you create for class to "Unlisted" and share the link with me via email. Doing so will ensure your privacy on the internet.
Be prepared to present your poem in whichever form you choose on Monday, May 4, 2015.
This assignment will be worth 100 points total:
60 points for the poems (2 points per poem)
40 points for the presentation.
1. Why is every moment that I enjoy in life, gone so quickly
ReplyDeleteAnd why is every moment in life that I dread, last so long
Why is every happy thing always fleeting
And why is every bad thing always staying.
2. Pizza
Oh so delicious and warm
So soft and tasty
So amazing and beautiful
3. Spring
The season of life
The season of warmth
The season of new beginnings
The season of new chances
4. You can't be brave
If you don't get hurt
You can't learn
If you don't make mistakes
You'll never be successful
If you don't encounter failure
5. Don't forget to say thank you
Don't forget to say I love you
Don't forget to say excuse me
Don't forget to say Im sorry
-Rachel Morris DE student period 1
This week the required amount is seven poems. You can make up the other two next week or delete this post and add the other two with rest once you have them ready.

1. A sweet friend,
Refreshes the soul.
Love till the end,
Go smoke a bowl.
Smoking is bad,
It makes you a fag.
Don't be the dumb lad,
Taking a drag.
If cigs could speak,
They'd tell you one thing,
"I don't come cheap,
Sorrow I bring".
2. Be the change,
You wish to see,
Don't rearrange,
What you believe.
If you don't act,
you'll be acted upon,
good things come,
From following God.
3. Take some skates,
Go on a date,
Do not be late,
Or you she'll hate.
Never lie,
You stupid fly,
Go and die,
You big fat guy.
Love her long,
Put down the bong,
Turn up the song,
So love is strong.
Go tell your hun,
You like her bum,
This poem is dumb,
So now I'm done.
4. A man with a plan,
Well, he wrote a nice note,
To someone he loved once,
Who took a part of his heart.
This girl was his world,
Just look what she took,
Anything and everything,
Now he's drinking, not thinking.
Her trust is now lust.
She dares to not care.
her love isn't just.
She'll never be there.
He has given up trying,
For this girl who is lying.
Spends his days crying.
Now he's slowly dying...
5. Poetry month,
It's so much fun,
Haha I'm kidding,
it's actually dumb.
I'm not a good poet,
So why should I try?
In case you don't know-it,
I'm quite the shy guy.
Homework is lame,
I have quite a lot,
But I'm not ashamed,
To give it a shot.
So here I am writing,
This's me when I'm trying,
So I'll write more than one,
But for now I am done.

Delete#3 though.... Wow, you inspire me.
Wow! Nathan. That was amazing! You say your not a poet but perhaps you did not know it. Cause you did amazing on your poems.
DeleteWe are supposed to write 7 poems this week.
DeleteI really liked #5 because it is really ironic. You say that you aren't a poet, but everything has a great rhyme and rhythm.
Deep poems dude. Deep poems.
Delete1. Give me more than what you think
ReplyDeleteYou have to offer
I know it can be done
You have so much inside of you
Hiding within that outer shell
Is a bursting potential
Full of love and beautiful promise
Share it with me
2. Sun shining through the dusty window
Left open to feel the happy breeze
Bringing in the tender memories
Singing to my heart so sweet and low
3. Fascinating grace
Unheard melody divine
Knits our hearts as one
4. Blue skies
Permeating
White clouds
Floating past
Silly children
Laughing
Joyful noise
5. Faith is something that is embedded in my soul.
It has been woven into the threads of my being.
Believing didn't appear to come naturally to me
Until the moment I did, and now I won't ever let it go.
Faith in God, family, and a future
Faith in love and happiness
Faith in you and me

Friendship

7. Work sounds too much like work.
Let's call it an adventure.
Or maybe we could say it's a journey
With us as journeymen
Making our way along the joyful path
Learning how to climb the hills of happy times
Digging out of the valleys of shadows and grief
Using what we learn to build each other up
And create a wonderland from reality
Where we see everything
And love the journey all the more.
Wow... That was amazing! The first and last ones really spoke to me. :)

California bound.
Fingers drumming.

Clock pulls ahead.
Too much to do.
Why did I get out of bed?

ReplyDelete1. A drip of color a splash of water
The colors of a fire
A dragon suddenly appears
He appears like magic
A drip of color a splash of water
Oh imagine imagine
How far a little paint, water and brush can go.
2. Dashes, Commas, Semicolons,
Colons and quotation marks
So many things to remember
So many things I try to hammer into my brain
Oh! Grammar! Please help me to understand
3. Nerd? What is the definition of a Nerd?
I don’t consider myself a nerd
I am not crazy smart
I suck at math
Oh no not I!
But am I nerd?
I would rather read than hang with friends
I see my books more important than air…….
Oh! Dear….. I most defiantly am under the definition
The definition of a nerd!
4. What is cold and wet?
It never ends!
Others want it!
But here it is continually falling
Summer, winter, Fall
Oh! I swear it will drop forever
Forever it falls in Maple Valley, Washington.
5. All the colors of the rainbow
Each one is unique
People try to touch one
But then it just might squeak
Hearts that are always racing
And wings that are always chasing
I would love to be, just once you see
A bird that is always singing
6. Eeek! Oh! No! Oh! Please!
Tell me that was not so
Oh! No it cannot be!
But there it is written plane and clear!
Oh how could I forget
How stupid I must be
Why it must be true
Long ago
Well not so long ago
In 2013 it was written
Written in a book
Thank everything that this book is secret
For the embarrassing fantasies of me and a boy in 2013
Will now forever be secret.
7. Your face turns Hot!
You feel it rising
Oh! Please make it stop
Snickers and giggles fly across the room
Before you can force your friend to shushing
She’s screaming
OH! Look she’s blushing!
LOL!!! Those were awesome Charity! You are such an amazing writer! Thank you so much for sharing these, I just might show them to my family if that's okay with you. You are quite the artist when it comes poetry!

2. The greatest time,
The greatest joy,
The greatest love felt,
And the greatest amount
Of laughter,
Is with our families.
3. Sunshine, Sunshine,
Come stay and play.
Don't go hide
and let clouds

Come and stay,
to brighten up my day.
4. I miss my kitty.
I miss him terribly.
He was my pride,
He was my joy,
He was my playmate,
And most of all,
He was my friend.
But, I know he is happy,
I know he is not in pain,
I know I will see him again.

I’m dancing through
The hours of the day
Not knowing quite
What to do or say
I’m dancing through
The days in the week
Waiting for the
Chance to rise and speak
I’m dancing through
The weeks in the month
Seeing all the
Hardest things crunch
I’m dancing through
The months in the year
Listening to
The things I can hear
I’m dancing through
The years of my life
Never heeding
Others tales of strife
I’m dancing through
All eternity
Always knowing
That He cares for me
5 Questions

Who?

Where?

start with
How.
6 I had the chance...
I have the chance
to be a poet?
Time for me to
start to blow it!
7If I thought was beautiful…
If I thought I was beautiful...
I’d look in the mirror less
I’d be more confident
I’d be less self-conscious
I’d talk to people more
I’d give more service
I’d do better in school
I’d do more crafts
I’d go outside more
Instead of wasting my time
wishing to,
wanting to,
hoping to,
dreaming to,
praying to,
think I was beautiful.
I love 4 there is just such an awesome happy feeling when I read it. ^^
Delete7 is something I ponder at times, and I like how you pulled in some things that I never thought of before such as "do more crafts," "go outside more," and relating it to time wasting--a lot of food for thought. Thank you!

Without him,
There would be nothing of you and me.
6. "Time for spring cleaning!" She says with a smile... ugh.
"So that we can get a trampoline later." She adds.
Why didn't she say so?
Context is everything... Now, where have I heard that before.

I’ve discovered something interesting
A poem is a simple thing
Except I nearly cannot bear it
When they say I have to share it
See, I’ve written two or three, a few
More poems than I’ve shared with you.

Little Billy played guitar
For the Imperial Russian Czar
The Czar said, “Billy, I like your art;
Please ride to France in this fruit cart.”
So Billy set off across the land
To find someone to start his band
He sat upon a watermelon
Until he met a cunning felon
The villain said, “You must be Billy,
I’ll kidnap you upon my filly!”
But Billy sang so musically,
“I’m faster, so you won’t catch me!”
The chase was on; but Billy swift
Ran right off of Dead Man’s Clift
So Billy, filly, and felon fall,
‘till a passing eagle caught them all
Billy said, “Wow, that was close.”
But the bird could only carry dos.
So it dropped Billy, kind of mean,
But he landed on a trampoline.
He bounced right up the Eiffel Tower
And then found out his super power
So into the sunset he flew away
To find someplace to save the day
And he brought along his guitar to play.

Dear world, what’s wrong with you?

But I can make tomorrow bright.
A single person can turn on the light.

Be happy with the trees and the moons; please don’t put on a frown.
Be mindful of the future, ‘cause it’s yours at your beck and call.

ReplyDelete#1 All I know is what I’ve thought
ReplyDeleteAnd all else may as well be naught
All I am is what I do
And I can’t tell what’s really true
#2 It’s like walking blind with your hands stretched out
Like the sky before dawn with its dim glowing doubt
Like the way the air shifts while the storm’s hours off
Like a spluttering flame in the dead of the dark
It’s like pressing on ice, how you tense and you cringe
But you ever continue, how else would you live
For though it’s a terror to, uncertain, fly
Always in the future is where our souls lie
#3 Tell me, tell me
Did you call?
Or did your voice
Not sound at all?
I swear I heard
A word from you
A voice that called me
Painted blue
#4 The bullet tore right through your chest
Staining your craft a different red
Conscious but losing, you brought the flight down
And knew you would perish, right there on the ground
By the time that they found you, you’d already be dead
Lying limp, with your craft stained a different red
The legend brought down, now facing his last
But only short months would the battle yet last
So close to the end, but never to reach
By the good grace of God, you were given relief
#5 The grip of desperation
When all but hope is lost
A painful, hard refusal
To let go when nothing can be done
#6 Thus brought forth by something else
To breaking point you use yourself
To safe havens you cannot flee
Or else you would not know what to be
Entrust your soul to no one else
For they don’t know you like yourself
Keep all you are under lock and key
And don’t let it be tainted by anybody
#7 How did it feel to fall so far
Knowing the end by the hole in your heart
How did it feel to now face the end
Knowing you couldn’t escape from this
These are really good! I think that #2 was especially good though.
DeletePoem week 2 April/6/15
ReplyDelete(This first poem I made, for a friend who's suffering through a hard time dealing with the death of her daughter, in hopes that I might put a comforting spin on the situation.)
1.) A early rebirth.
Close your eyes, sleep little child.
it's close to time to rest little child.
Open your mind and release your spirit.
little darling, it's not your time but the time has come.
We'll say good bye, yes I know it's not fun, but the time has come, only 7 and yet, your life is done.
Open your eyes, awake little darling.
It's about time that you awake little darling.
listen to my voice and forget all the sorrow.
little child, it wasn't your time, only 7 but yet, here you stand to Take my hand.
Let us say hello and forget the regrets we've had, it's time to start your new life in my heavenly land.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Authors notes:
(Warning: This next poem is very dark, PG, but dark. so if you are suffering through depression I suggest you skip this one.)

2.) The devils secret.
The wild wind howls and the wicked moon grins as the darkness shrouds the town like blackened roses and deathly sin.
The fairies and elves and all the creatures of hell may seem like sweet little things made up of childish dreams, but in the light you'll see their true sight and it's nothing short of hellish delights playing in unholy light, tis a truly evil sight that will begin.
Like the beautiful tones of a flute or harp at play you'll find yourself uncontrollably ensnared in the words the hell spawn say like a snake to the hypnotizing pungi you'll lose your self to the enchanting notes and the swaying beauty.
Wow to those who see the beauty and fall victim to the act, throwing them selves in to the pile of thorny roses that rest on the stage of lies and harsh facts.
To all the duly concerned, a warning you have earned, nothing can hurt you except the ignorance of your mind and to the fool with no concern, your time will come, the time to burn.
3. Love is peace.
I love the way you look at me.
I love the way you fantasy.
I love what I love, what I love is your loving me.
I like it when you sing to me.
I like it when you love me.
I like it when you hold me close to thee.
Oh, I love what I love, what I love is the way you've been loving me.
I like what I like and that's what like about you.
I love the way you love to love,
I love thee.
4. The moments.
Tick: you blink.
Tok: you breath.
Tick: you hear.
Tok: you see.
Tick: you move.
Tok: you need to chose.
Tick: you talk.
Tok: you change.
Tick: you live.
Tok: You're dead.
Tick...Tick...Tick,
Tok: time stops like a broken clock.
3. Misconceptions
I picked the peddles of a flower to decide my love and ended up loving a stinky bug.
I flipped a coin to chose my fate, but fate couldn't decide before it was to late.
I gambled to become a king, but I found I was gambling to become hungry.
I took the road less traveled by without the preparations I would need to survive.
Two wrongs never make things right but still I try to fight the good fight.
To be continued...
2 was profound indeed. Some of the ideas you presented cause me to stop and think more about my perception of things going on in my life. Thank you.
Delete3 was great. We're you talking about God or just someone you love dearly? I like the parts where you said I love that I love and all that it was very fun and very creative. Thank you!

DeleteI love your number 4. It reminds me of the riddle from the hobbit, about how time changes everything. Thank you!
4. We are.
ReplyDeleteI want to help you, but where should I start, with the steps of my feet or with the beating of my hart?
I don't want you to suffer, I know you're crying but I can't stop the pain, I wish you were happy that's the most I can say.
I don't need you to change, I'll love you even after the end, promise to stay and always be my friend.
I need you to stay strong, stand tall and shine like a beacon of light for all mankind, so that one day they can all know the love you show me and maybe the world could rise from the knee and be what they could to be.
I hope you find and follow your calling, remember us, I wish you the best of blessings.
I pray you'll never be hopeless and in a time of confusion you'll call for us.
I'm calling for you to stand up and protect the unprotected.
I hear you calling for me, here I stand to protect thee.
We are more then friend's, more then family, we are brothers.
Come stand with me!
5. patient when impatient.
She was searching for the answers of everything and nothing, why dose she insist on striking lightning.
She was examining the clouds and staring at the ground, God only knows what she's thinking now.
She sits alone, but she's doesn't feel lonely, she says, "I'm feeling at home." It seems so saddening.
For her house and family burned to the ground, no one to love but still she refuses to make a sad sound.
The boys ignore her when she walks in the halls, not the most beautiful one of all.
The girls only pity her and remind her of her loss, never knowing the love she feels and understanding she accepts what is not.
She doesn't try to hide through the illusion make up provides.
But still she smiles when she's alone, now only the animals remember her voice and it's tone.
She is the girl to whom people try to reflect their lives, but she is secretly at peace inside.
She never stood out, but she grew like a rose, she never got married, though I wish I would have had enough courage to let her know.
She was the most misunderstood throughout the land, but she was more then that,
She was the twinkle in God's eye and the woman, I wanted to take her hand.
Now she's gone and grate sorrow fills me, but I will wait until the end of our story the way she waited even after all the sorrow for me.

ReplyDeleteTo the Faithful:
Your faith is strong and your knees are week, but your body is braking, allow me to carry you home safely.
To the Soldier:
Your love was medicine and your thoughts became inspiration, but know your life is taken; let me grant you restoration
To the curious:
Your thirst for true truth left you unsatisfied and you always questioned why, come with me and I will show you the light I promise you'll be at peace inside.
To the emotional:
Your a hurricane of good and your harts don't lie to you, but this might be overwhelming so let me walk beside you.
To the broken:
Your words where never lost in the sea and your trust was the strongest, please let me help put the pieces back together, let me heal thee.
To the explorer:
Your eyes could see through anything and you spend your life wondrously, but now I will show you a land you can explore endlessly.
To the Godless.:
Your hart was honest and your life was peaceful, would you like to come with me though? I understand your fear, don't worry, that doesn't mean it's all down hill from here.
To the innocent:
Your life may have not been fair or just, but you stood tall and held your chin high and for that I am immensely satisfied, come and let us start a new life.
To the guilty:
Your deeds weren't kind and your hart less so, you've suffered a life time on your own, but the only thing that matters now is if you can learn to forgive yourself somehow. What do you think? Because I will never stop trying to save thee.
7. I love you.
There was once a girl who was so full of love that one day it broke her heart because, she couldn't make others feel the same and that was heartbreaking in every way.
No matter how hard she tried she couldn't accurately describe how she felt inside.
She couldn't paint the picture, she couldn't dance the dance, she couldn't play the song and she couldn't write the words, but she could feel the love and that's what hurt.
She cried because she could feel others pain and her love grew more each and everyday.
Like a bomb too full, about to explode, with every tear the love grows, and she dose everything she can to let the whole world know, she want's them to feel the love she holds.
It's overwhelming and she's exploding, can anyone release the pressure, she's over flowing.
She cries out in pain, "The love is overwhelming me."
The man with the knife, she jumps in front, she saves the boys life, but at what price.
On the ground she weeps, light fades, foot steps creep as others leave.
A Young face can be seen, He's crying. He asks, "Why are you dying?!"
She smiles "Because I love you, darling."
We start a new story.
There was once a boy who was so full of love that one day it broke his heart.

Authors note: Sorry it took me so long to write these poems, as you can see they are fairly long poems and I was doing the best to be descriptive and meaningful. :)
This is what poetry is supposed to be. These are so good, and I think that when you have a real purpose for your writing, like you for your first one, then it becomes something really special. Great work.

ReplyDelete1. "Twas I, but not 'tis I"
We can have a clean slate
Through Christ's atonement
Our sins can be washed away
Oh, the suffering He went through
While in Gethsemane!
Christ was crucified
This past weekend
Many centuries ago
We honor Him
The Savior of the World
Our brother,
Our guide,
Our Redeemer,
Jesus Christ.
2. BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Sounds the alarm clock, kidnapping me from my sleep
Oh, how lovely it had been, and so deep
Now I hit snooze once again,
When will I sleep again, oh when!
But the covers are so warm, I'd like to stay!
But I know it will be a great day.
So I get up.
I yawn, hello new day, 'sup?
3. Lingers

4. My friend Lauren
Was quite the old pal
Almost twins were we
And then I moved.
I still miss her,
Though I've seen her several times
I guess life moves on.
My friend Lauren,
My old pal.
5. Duke won the National Championship!
I'm so proud!
When they won, the sound level of my house, well, it was loud.
I stayed up super late to watch the game
Just to see my team gain their fame!
The end was nerve-racking and exciting
My lip, I was biting!
But alas! I was calmed
When the 5th championship was won of the team of which I am very fond!
8. Smiles,
They spread
Turn into laughter
Fill my head
The memories remain after
Laughter and smiles are good times,
Is there anything else that rhymes? ;)
7. Snap! Crackle! Pop!
The renown characters of a cereal box
Remarkable, they pop in your mouth!
Found everywhere, even the South!
The legendary Rice Krispies!
Add marshmallows, turn them into:
RICE KRISPIE TREATS!
(Which nothing beats.)
8 which is actually 6 is something I can identify with on a few levels. I think how about we need to embrace the happy memories we have in our hearts and let go of negativity.

DeleteOh! Haha! I didn't realize I put "8" instead of 6 until you said that! My bad, I wonder how that happened!

you cannot go wrong,
with that style and grace,
and that ever smiling face.
2. Gabe
he is my fabe.
he's got cool hair,
and he's loved everywhere.
3. Preston Norton.
once he went a courtin'
and all the girls chased
cause of that pretty face
4. Caleigh Kerr,
You just want to hug her.
her eyes are never dead,
and of core she is a redhead.
5.Dried Flowers:
Their color's weak and faded,
no water runs within
they stand as a remembrance
of what already had been
They once were bright and cheery,
a symbol of new life.
but their luscious stems were severed
by a silver sharpened knife.
Alone and nearly withered,
a drone and sorry sight,
but if you look the right way,
you might just see a light.
Their color’s weak and faded,
but something runs within,
they give you all the memories
that will surely make you grin.
6. It stood alone in solitude,
no people dwelt within.
Its shutters chipped and faded,
its doors were broken in.
The yard was overgrowing,
the garden filled with weeds,
for no one's ever tending
to its ever present needs.
The little house was dusty,
it's floors remained un-swept.
The air hung dank and musty
in its dark and dreary depths.
7. (now for something happy)
O how I love the chocolate
that I eat when I stay up late.
I would buy crates and crates and crates
of chocolate,
and stay up late,
but alas! I am a poor cheapskate,
no money in my sad pockets,
no chocolate here to compensate
for the lack of a soulmate,
no chocolate here to stimulate
or imitate,
my soulmate,
no lovely date
with chocolate.
Hence, this sad will all accumulate
until I will need a flood-gate,
to hold back and de-celerate
this sad of late.
I'm trying to communicate
the hate
I feel for chocolate,
because I can't buy at prime rate
my sorely needed,
chocolate.
And there you go. :)

DeleteGreat poem, especially #4. Don't forget, you are not limited to only one way of writing. There can be a rhythm to the poem and make it more interesting. However, I did enjoy reading #2. Thanks for your great ideas and creativity.

And now I’ll have a cheez-it.

A light is there.
‘Go away’ I say.
I want some sleep.

This is true. Now we must go
To our Heavenly Father up above.

The family gather under a tree
Playing traditional games
Feeling the warm breeze in the winds
O how relaxing nature can be..

The world is full of surprise
Playing with a friend today,
Tomorrow they say he is no more
O what a world we live in
Full of amaze.

We are lucky,
To be where we are today
Don't be stubborn, but just obey.
Some people can't afford,
To treat a common sore
Some can't afford,
To even but bread and water.
Some people have to strive the entire day
Just to gain a cent to be able
To feed the family.
Life is tough
For some people, having billions
Isn't even enough!

Time is money
Every second spent wisely
Can bring you harmony
If time is money,
It is moral to save time
Spend carefully because
Money is time!

The Haunted Mansion:
Dark hallways, shaded windows.
Racing pulse, bated breath.
Chilled breeze enters the room.
Beware your fate, and your doom.
Walk slowly, the floor creaks.
Door swings, wind breathes.
Take a moment to see it there.
Sitting quietly, still, in the air.
Look above you, it does not speak.
Black, hunched, quivering to peak.
Its red eyes watch you day and night.
Be careful, it will consume the light.
Danger lurks inside this room,
It will creep up behind you soon.
The Mansion has only one way out,
Close your eyes and have no doubt.

Water cool, what a blast.
Slip, slide, sink, dive,
Nice day to have a ride.

with a laugh I hope I can do this again.

Life is hard
It can leave you scarred
It breaks you down
And makes you want to frown
But always remember the price that was paid
In order for your soul, a trade
Try to make the best of it
I know it is rough, I’ll admit
But try with all your might
And never give up the fight

Sometimes we feel alone
But it doesn’t need to be
Remember you’re loved

When things delete
You have a blank sheet
You feel the tears
And all your fears
Starting again, harder than before
You must do it or you get a bad score

When others don’t get your pun
It isn’t as much fun
If people don’t think you are punny
They will never think you are funny
7.
Life is the best
Though it can be quite the test
We should always know
Where we are to go
If led by the Spirit
We will be able to bear it
Wonderful effort. I can tell that some issues were at play, but you turned them into material for your poems, and that is always a good thing. 1 and 3 remind me to smile and keep a heart full of hope. Thank you for your inspiring words.
Delete#1. I guess I somehow copied and pasted everything except: L- Loving, Learning
ReplyDeleteSorry, that was dumb.
1) Love Poems are Overrated
ReplyDeleteLove poems are overrated,
Stop bragging about the ones you have and haven’t dated,
No one wants to see how much you love each other,
Because some people never get the chance of being a mother.
So stop rubbing it in their faces you arrogant fools,
That’s all I have to say.
2) Ignorance
It is impossible for a man to be saved in ignorance.
Blossoming with wisdom that can’t and never will be his,
It is impossible for a man to be saved in ignorance.
Life is steaming with options to learn and grow,
But he can’t take his eyes of his phone.
It is impossible for a man to be saved in ignorance,
Some say that is the best kind of bliss,
The kind that you wallow in
Because you didn’t pay attention when life gave you lessons,
Now you’re all alone wishing your ignorance, you hadn’t been blessed with.
Messed with.
It is impossible for a man to be saved in
Ignorance.
3) Scars
Scars are who we are,
We wouldn’t be where we are without them.
Scars, they drive us crazy,
Reminding us of times that have faded into a mess and scattered us into pieces.
Scars are what we were,
Back then when we didn’t have a care in the world.
Scars are who we are,
Learn from them.
Scars are what we know not to do.
Scars make me who I am, and they make you,
You.
4) Hatred
I hate the way I walk,
I hate the way I talk,
I hate the way I look.
I can’t understand reason anymore,
Because I took that and threw it out the door.
I hate the I make eye contact in the mirror,
I hate how when I’m with you I can’t see any clearer.
I’m done.
5) Excuse me.
Excuse me for voicing my opinion, and feelin like you always disrespect it. Excuse me for sayin I’m sorry, It’s wrong to be so nice aiight. Now I’m through with you and your friends, I don’t need that trickery no diggity, oh fliggity, oh freakin me. Why am I still talking, I’m not in a good mood, I’m just crying, not acting like a dude’s dude. These rhymes don’t really make sense they make billions. It’s kinda cliche, so excuse me for usin’ em. Amen.
6) Bowen.
He’s my main man, the bees to my knees, the sunshine and my trees. He’s the belly to my fat, I’m the dog to his cat. He’s me lover when I stay up late, and he’s my money when I need chocolate. He’s the coolest kid in the street, and he’s definitely hotter than me. His vibrant smile catches the eye of millions, and his voice gets him billions. He’s bowen and you ought to know him. He’s my best friend and I show him. Bowen is my boo, my dude, he always stays true, and I like him a lot. Amen.
7) Awake.
Awake and I can’t feel a thing,
Eyes open, am I still in a dream?
I can’t see, Eye can’t be.
I wish I was still asleep.
But I’m not, I guess I have to accept that,
Except that I’m falling now, slowly but surely,
Watching as my world burns around me.
It’s all gone now, everything I loved.
And I’m alone, no help from.
Above.
Awake and I can’t feel a thing,
I wish, I was still in a,
Dream.
Your poetry is vibrant and entertaining, yet 7 "Awake" is a gift to us all. I appreciate it on many levels: as a teacher, a poet, someone who has loved and lost, and as a human being. Thank you.

I'm trying to sleep

about the friendships you have
the hardships you've endured

you'll get through

10)
I am part of a family
I am a loved child of God
I can see the hand of God in my life,
because God has a plan for me,
the worth of my soul is great in the sight of
God.
11)
dark
drowning
can't hear
only feel
feel dark
alone
a light
not huge
but noticeable
reaches out
extending my hand I feel his warmth
his love
his compassion
for me
I am pulled out of the ocean deep
on dry land is now where I sit
safe
intact
and breathing once
again.
12)
Boom!
just like that
my dreams crack
they fade away
away into forest
never to be found again.
I look and look
but only in vain
there is no use in playing this foolish
game.
I keep searching
finding something new
my hopes reborn
I have a new goal
a new deal
a new chance
Between you and Trev's poems, I think I can hear some of your twin internal dialogue. What a treat! And you have shared some real poetry--amazing writing that makes me think, feel, and write more. Wonderful.

Alarms are stupid
They’re a waste of money
So then why buy them?
3.
I am a child of God
When we hear that, we nod
But do we really grasp the concepts,
That they lord taught, precept by precept
To his brothers and sisters around the world.
So instead of sitting in the corner, curled
Up, feeling left out, know and remember this:
I am a child of god

My fingers touch the keys

Delete1. Bacon
ReplyDeleteThe melodious sizzle and tantalizing smell
emanate from a single glorious point in the kitchen
and act as a beacon for all that are in the house.
Such are the effects
of bacon.
2. Musicians
True talent resides not with the ability to make noise with an instrument
But to coax out the song that abides within
As it lies in wait to be discovered by the one worthy enough to hold the title
Musician
3. Procrastination
Procrastination.
A plague of indolence that pollutes
And controls
The people of our world.
“I’ll do it later”
Shout the people
That are so far behind that it seems impossible
To reach their goals
This time it will be different
We promise ourselves.
But we are unchanging
And again and again we relapse.
Our old ways have a grip on us
But maybe we can resist.
The urges to “Put it off” are strong
But we are stronger.
We can fight
And the revolution can begin
Just not right now.
4. My Dream
I had a dream
Where existential humans walked
On bees, and birds that flew and flocked
And lightning fell down and I was shocked.
But then I woke up
And thought,
“Well that was a stupid dream.”
5. Root of all evil
So much is determined by the solemn clink of money
as it passes from the open palms of the generous saint
to the clutching grasp of the greedy miser.
6. The Inch that Changed History
An inch from death
But unaware
He was to die this day
While enjoying a play.
For death was but an inch away.
In the pull of a trigger
By a man named Booth.
The roar of the gun followed by
The glistening of blood
And the wail of a friend
One inch.
To pull the trigger.
To kill the man.
To rob a nation
Of a hero.
Shot in the head
Abraham Lincoln
Was dead
7. The egg
There once was an egg that tried to escape
by running down the hall
but all he could do is lie there on the floor
as he cracked his egg shell wall
Haha! I like the one about procrastination. The last line is priceless, and so true! Successful people are the ones that do things, not just talk about them or say they will do it later.

The noble writer,
Pen in hand, like the knights sword,
Win they the battle.
3. Limbulously
O limbulous day
I love the way
—It’s so absurd—
I make up words.
4. Success
In yourself must you forever believe;
Commit to this essential endeavor.
Persistence you will certainly achieve,
When resolve is your prominent lever.
And you must prepare to frequently fail
As the saying goes, “No risk, no reward”,
The priceless secret to this Holy Grail:
Success is the journey, not the award.

ReplyDelete1. Sky is dark at night,
Stars shine and a lot;
Moon is cycle and light,
There's a rabbit live on it.
2. Ocean is deep and vast,
Many fish swim in it.
Sea is mineral and salt,
Water is often be waste.
3. The big bridge was broken,
Some driving drivers dropped.
A nice new is,
Everyone are survived.
4. Desserts are sweet,
They can make people feel great;
But you need to eat fit,
Otherwise you will get fat.
5. Fruits are good for us,
And the vegetable also is.
They have many vitamins,
They can help us keep health.
6. Weather is cold,
Hands get red.
It's snowing outside,
Kids can't slide.
7. A pretty girl,
With blonde hair;
Look like an angel,
Is playing a ball.
Cassie!! #4 was freaking great! haha, I have eating problems... blegh, haha, thank you! it spoke to me. I also love your writing style! it's beautiful!
Delete1:
ReplyDeleteMy eyes open,
Never wanting to close again.
My mind throbs,
Hot with a scalding memory.
My imagination fumbles,
Paralyzed with thoughts unwanted.
My heart races,
Fleeing from metaphorical beasts.
My soul trembles,
Shaken with fictitious reality.
Everything stops.
My spirit stands,
Firm with a confidence above my own.
My mouth opens
In a fervent plea for peace.
2:
Do not forget to remember
Who you really are.
Do not neglect to regard
Your true, divine worth.
Do not abstain to choose
Your virtue over all.
Do not doubt to hope
You will accomplish great things.
NEVER forget
You are a child of God.
3:
Motivational
Understandable
Significant
Insightful
Complex
4:
The sun beams bashfully through the clouds,
Shyly separating winter from spring,
Timidly thawing the snow from the ground,
Cowardly coaxing out the meager green.
5:
Butterflies;
Multiplying faster than my thoughts.
Smile;
Plastered on to hide my fear.
Fingers;
Trembling faster than vibrato.
Regret;
Wishing I had practiced more.
Concert;
Approaching sooner every second.
6:
Great success; great loss
Emotions sweet and sour
I must keep playing.
7:
A three syllable word
Used to be my enemy.
A six letter word
Used to make me gag.
A word with the suffix “ry”
Used to make me want to cry.
Now that three syllable, six letter, “-ry” suffix word
Makes me smile.

ReplyDelete1. Take your John Deere
down to the pier.
Dump our love right down the drain.
My heartbreak is still a stain.
It's clear to all that there is still pain.
About how our relationship went down like a spiraling plane.
2. Algebra means well,
Though the cause of student's pain.
Can't find solutions.
3. I can't believe the words you say.
Don't know if you're making false claims.
I try to believe and keep hope,
but your lies don't deserve my trust.
4. As you cite your bold quotation
the crowd sighs in exasperation.
Someone whispers a discreet exclamation,
"I think he needs to take a vacation."
You pack up and leave for the station,
Looking to find a new destination.
5. Spring
A season of bloom
Creatures, flowers, people too
Come from winter's gloom.
6. There he goes
giving me a sly wink.
Even that look can't make me go pink.
I don't see why he tries.
I will not let him be my soul's spy.
7. Right, left, up, down, side.
Bring it up short and slide.
"Let's dance!" the crowd and singer's cried.
But true dancers take pride.
They know the true movements of each dancing stride.

1) Its gloomy today
ReplyDeletebecause the sky is gray.
It starts to rain
and pour all day.
2) The sky is blue
the sun is yellow
today its quiet
and really mellow
It is spring
the plants are growing
the birds are singing
and I am mowing
3) Going camping;
having fun.
Playing games
till the day is done.
4) Going sledding
in the snow.
Having snowball fights
with your bro.
5) Roses is Red
Violets is Blue
My mom picks on my grammar,
and my English teacher will, too.
6) The kingdom of God rolls forth
throughout the Earth.
Temples here, Temples there;
three more temples are to come.
Temples, Temples everywhere.
7) Old sailors say
there once was a time
when men were made of steel
and ships were made of wood.
Ill-conceived was that time,
now adaze
Men are made of wood
and ships are made of steel.

ReplyDeleteA spell to make chocolate.

I have a world family.
My life is an arrow
On its way to eternity.

1. Love is not a thing to understand.
ReplyDeleteLove is not a thing to feel.
Love is not a thing to give and receive.
Love is a thing only to become
And eternally be. - Sri Chinmoy
2. "Hope" is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all,
- Emily Dickinson
3. Tiger! Tiger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
- William Blake
4. We fear death, the unknown.
Death fears us, the unknowable.
We fear death's necessity.
Death fears our Divinity.

My feet still planted to the floor
Yet they’re running along to the door
Adventure just within reach
My heart beating an excited beat

Yet they hold swords and fight in battles to the death

Mop away my tears
Mop away the tears you broke from me
Mop away the fears you gave to me
Mop away the hopes you stole from me
Mop away the cuts you saved just for me

I’ll brush away my broken pieces

Never get it back.
Play well, go hard.

where truth cannot be known.
A tourtured mind at his own doing,
that simply can’t be shown

Trapped in his thoughts of scandal, her actions mean no more

Alas,

There is hearing. But no listening.
So many woes. No tears.
There is self-pity. But no compassion.
So close the edge. No escape.
There are cracks. But no doors.
6. I see
A sandy morning sun
Falling gently
On dreams
Slipping away
And soon forgotten
7. I am the wildflower in your backyard
the one with the ocean petals

merely a weed among a garden

Delete1. A Single Night Outside
ReplyDeleteStaring at the night, a single star in the sky,
I am breathing in the rain, a single drop in the dark.
Tremoring on the edge, a single thread in the cloth,
I am nothing but myself, a single heart in the whole.
Searching through my soul, a single flame in the fire,
I am emptying my heart, tear by tear coming through.
Crying without sound, a single girl in the storm,
I am breaking at the core, unable to hold up anymore.
Slipping is my mask, my single shield in the world,
I am letting go of my pain, a single tread on the trail.
Returning with speed, a simple peace in myself,
I am seeing the way forward, a blessed light in my life.

When sleeping over a soliloquy in second grade,
I was punishingly pummeled by a poem.
Since: I’ve sustained scars from summaries,
was hammered by the humanites of Homer.
Oh, I earned my callouses in calligraphy.
been run right ragged on research.
Yes, I’ve cut my teeth on classics,
and attended to articles atrocities,
Why, I’ve well-nigh died o’er a dissertation
nearly perished from pamphlets perjury
Since that snooze over Shakespeare in second grade,
and my pounding from the poet’s pen.

Music surges ‘round,
Pervading my ears and mind,
Trembling notes and chords.
5. I am a single sparrow, Lord, dost thou knoweth me?
am a simple sparrow, Lord, canst thou care for me?
I am a sinful sparrow, Lord, wilt thou lift me up?
Ye are of more value, child, than a thousand sparrow's falls.
Ye are of my valued, child, I love thee as mine won.
Ye are of much value, child, for Atonement in Gethsemane.
6. Colors of My Room
A glimpse sees pink:
blankets, flower,
pictures, watch.
A glance notes white:
shelves, ceiling,
papers, bed.
A gaze finds blue:
jeans, jewelry
books, dress.
7.
The assignment was due in a couple of hours. Aware,
the writer was a hunched shape on a comfortable chair.
The page was as white as moonlight (though that wouldn’t endure)
And the pen writing—
writing—writing—
The pen was writing, through March and more.
The pen was a fancy ballpoint, its ink black and thick.
A grip of resilient rubber. And it engaged with a click.
It worked with never a trouble. Its words were “up to par”.
And it wrote in a manner flowing,
Its crisp words flowing,
Its poems and slices flowing, read near and far.
“Another word, my loyal pen, I’m after an A grade to-night,
But after this I shall let you rest until the morning light.
Yet, if writer’s swamp sucks me deep, holds me all the day;
Then wait for me by moonlight.
Write for me by moonlight
I’ll not fail thee by moonlight, should anything bar the way.”
Emma 5 is absolutely wonderful and touching. <3 7 is exquisite with words creating the idea of the writer, incredible job. Keep up the fantastic work! ^^

ReplyDeleteThe “Bad First Date” Irish drinking song!
Oh!!! I de I de I de I de I de I de I de di!
I met this girl Just last week!
Man she was so fine!
I asked her on a first date!
I wanted her as mine!
She told me I was cool!
And she liked me fine!
Then I said something dumb!
I said get in line!
Oh!!! I de I de I de I de I de I de I de di!
After our date finished,
I drove her home!
There we both stood!
Two lovers all alone!
I asked if I could kiss her!
And she said yes!
But after that!
It became a mess!
Oh!!! I de I de I de I de I de I de I de di!
I don’t know what happened!
And neither does she!
All I know is we both blacked out!
Her on top of me!
Still years later,
We still haven’t kissed!
And I’m just wondering
What I might have missed!
Oh!!! I de I de I de I de I de I de I de di!
Oh!!! I de I de I de I de I de I de I de di!
Btw, this is a bonus poem!

ReplyDelete1: Life is weird,
life is strange,
life is crazy,
life is fun,
life is sad,
life is unexpected,
but in the end,
it's still our life.
2: Fellings can take over,
when you're nervous it's like a power,
getting louder and louder,
but not everything is sour,
sometimes it can be fragile like a flower,
I guess it's hard to tell..
3: Wind blows softly,
light shade of gray,
sun peaks over the loft,
I wish I had more to say.
4: Todays been long,
tired in every class,
I wish I had been wrong,
as I sit and stare out the glass,
the weither is like my mood,
why did you have to be so rude,
I was only trying to help you,
but you only pushed me away,
now only you knew
I would feel this way.
5: We all have so much to gain,
even if all we see is rain,
what won't last is pain,
wouldn't it be great to move to spain.
6: What if we were always happy,
always sappy
always crapy,
always crafty,
always classy,
life would be a lot more crazy.
7: I'm awake,
nothing is going to shake,
there's no cake,
nothings going to break,
I'm not fake.

1. (Value, Value!)
Sometimes, it's really good,
Sometimes it's really bad.
But when you buy Little Cesar's Pizza,
It's the best value that can be had.
2. I hate titles.
I hate hypocrisy.
And irony.
And lists.
And repetition.
And repetition.
Also, I hate it when writers aren't consistent.
And misspeling.
And uncorrect grammer.
And when people say things are gramatical errors, when they are really errors of another sort.
But most of all, I hate it when people write little poems that are sort of sarcastically funny, but didn't really take a whole lot of though to make up.
And I hate it when poems seem like they are about to end, but then they don't.
And I hate it when poems reaper in other poems.
3. It really doesn't help anyone.
We have problems. It's no mystery.
We all have problems. So has everyone through history.
So do fictional characters, from Mordor to Ogygia.
So why do we post our problems up, to some wall on social media?
4. The book.
There's a book I just read.
The cover was red.
It was showing some wear.
It was about ware.
It's weird, you see?
It's from the sea.
I told someone they were mean.
They said what do you mean.
I'm a guy you can't faze.
This is just a phase.
And I hate it when people say the same word two times in a row, but with different meanings.
5. The guard dawg.
He's a Cane Corso,
Is he awesome? Yeah, more so:
(Than a Shih Tzu)
To him, you know, a cat is a morsel.
You say you think that he's vicious,
'cause he thinks you're delicious.
But he's quite a bit better
Than a bowl full of fishes.
You can't deny that he's cool,
Despite all of his drool.
No one questions the fact,
The man'ts got him makes the rules.
6. The wondrous gift of pain.
When I was young, I ran along my garden filled with grass,
Sometimes when I ran along, I stepped on thorns, like glass.
A thorn I saw, was in my foot, then I cried out in pain,
I thought, "What's the point of feeling?" "Like, what do I really gain?"
I thought, "What's the point of having feet when all they do is hurt?"
And "What's the point of legs, if I just fall into the dirt?"
"These limbs and body parts aren't really easy to maintain."
I dreamed I didn’t have to bear this curse that I called pain.
I didn't know a fact; to me unfair it would have seemed.
Miles away from me there lived a boy who lived my dream.
Congenital Analgesia had given him this gift,
Though to him this illness wasn't quite what he wished.
To him this rare condition wasn't really all that fun,
Without pain, what would stop him from chewing off his tongue?
He'd gash himself, be reckless, shatter bones until at last,
He'd find himself disabled; He'd spend his whole life in a cast.
Steven Pete would often ask "Why must I have this curse?"
And often "Wow, my life is bad. It couldn't get much worse."
I bet through all his trials, he thought time and time again,
"Oh how dearly I do want to feel what they call pain."
Steve and I grew up, we lived our lives, through sun and cloud.
But studying his story makes me want to cry aloud.
"God, forgive my ignorance, for knowledge finally came!"
"God, I thank thee for this gift, the wondrous gift of pain.
7. Rhyme Royal
It's late I want to go to bed right now.
Tomorrow I have to get up early.
Frankly, with this fatigue, I don't know how
I'll wake up, and still function properly.
I barely keep my eyes open, you see.
Yes, I think I should turn off all the lights,
and so, you guys, I bid you all good night.

ReplyDeleteThe writer~
My words I can not expel for my heart, held by stories that play in my memories gaze.
Worlds and people dance around in my head while all the while you may never see them.
I hold them close and keep their words within me as I go about the day.
When night finally falls and my days work is done I set free the stories within me.
Words become my eyes and my eyes become my words as people become heros and villains take their turn.
Time flies by when my fingers nimbly speed away with the words within me sticking to a page, for you see I am a writer and this is what is within me.
No person can withhold the mythologies that flow through me.

Sorry I did it this way but it has not been letting me post my 7 poems all together in one post.

Pirate’s~
Sing me the song of the sirens sweet lull into the waves that beckon and call.
Where have we gone and lost on the waves, been cast into the rocks and splayed.
We are sea walkers who’s land is the oceans untamed foamy reaches, held by none but Poseidon you see.
We are those who seek treasures so dear that we place an x to mark the spot we seek so clear.
A pirate as fierce as we are still caught in the mermaids breeze, here we stay until the end of time for as they say of dead men they tell no tale and say no rimes.
3
Choices~
Choices abound though I feel weighed down.
I want to do what is right and keep up a good fight, but what do I do when the choice is so hard that I can not tell which way to turn or disregard?
Turning to the lord I humbly pray as my legs are found weak and my soul seeming bleak as my tears stream down across my cheeks .
Never a kinder friend can be found then the father above who humbly looks down, who comforts and helps me know which road to go.
The father is within my reach when I humbly fall before his feet and ask for help he will always strengthen me.
4
Who I want to be~
I wish to be grater than my fears, to become the better of my tears.
I wish to see beyond my doubt and reach for the stars I see from afar.
I wish to become the hopes and dreams I envision as who I might be.
I wish to take my fluttering heart and make it stronger then the beating drums that surround me.
I wish to run far past my limits, to take out my goals and see them as achievements.
I wish to take what I have written to become the person I hope to be, so that I can turn my words from hopes into living, breathing, meanings.
5
Travel
Show me the world with all it’s fragile beings.
From sea to sea and every land and space in between.
Tell me the tales of every culture and being so that I may come to know everything.
Take me to the wonders of the world, from mans greatest buildings to the peaks of this finite world.
Let me travel around this sphere we live, to become in awe of all that we here have in a world full of wonders knocking at our doors we must walk out to seek and explore.

~The Shepard
I have left my heart out on the line, forgotten beaten and forsaken for a time.
There it rests like a testament of my regret with wounds no mortal hand could heal save one alone who’s hands are bruised and still.
My head lower then the dust, I weep at the masters feet for a hush to the pain within my soul of things around me I do not control.
His kind and tender mercy lowers near and raises me up from the low place I have come too fear.
With gentle words his kind hands embrace and wipe away the tears of my fears and softly he speaks like a loving friend
“Dear little lamb I have never forsaken thee, I simply have been waiting for you to come unto me.”
7
The artisan~
Artfully create me oh Savior divine, show me the workmanship of they hands in mine.
Sketch me line by line showing me the way, one simple step at a time.
Craft me into a learned being, who’s ideas are keen and heart still beating.
Mold me into a tampered glass that put together can create stained glass.
Paint me with every color and hue, crafting me into a garden in full bloom.
Sculpt me with care, shaping my life by trials and errors.
For you are the one who has made me a work of art, beyond price or purchase; Through thy sacred blood painting my canvas clean when it fills with mud and not fine art.
Dear Master, you are my Teacher, Lord and King who’s hands bled and bleeding have saved the broken, blemished, tarnished, fallen work of art that is Me.
1. New
ReplyDeleteRebirth
I have been here but I have not
Sitting, waiting to remember
2. Alone
Walking past forgotten graves
Sliding down sand dunes
3. Imagine floating in space
Just soaring
Everything on mute
All alone, in space
4. Is this a new life?
Have I been alive before?
Or is this a beginning
Let me sit and think
5. Cold flat sand lay under my dragging feet
Moon rays shine through the broken roof
Forgotten structures buried in in sand like a sheet
Years lost from war
6. If life were simple
I wouldn’t worry
I would be small, I would dwindle
I would see beauty across the world
If life were simple
7. My memory is weird
I only know what is now
I wouldn’t remember if I grew a beard
No past or future
Just now
I loved your poems!!! Good job. I think number 3 is my favorite.
Delete6. Gliding effortlessly through the sky
ReplyDeleteDepending on the captain to take me safely to my destination
The air is stale and I feel the giant bird carrying me onward
Rocking from side to side
Will this ever end?
7. Feeling the Spirit
Listening moves me to thinking
My thoughts weigh heavy on my eyelids
They close and I awake to the angelic melody
It’s over!
8. Birthday party
All girls
Giggling galore
Sleep deprived
Just what I needed this day
9. Poetry, poems, verses, rhyming
Too many and it makes my head hurt
Nothing to say about poetry that is pleasant
I want to keep my thoughts to myself
They belong to me
10. Puppy Barn rocks
Puppy in a box
Leaving the store
Puppies galore
Going home
No longer alone
Oh snap
I woke up from my nap
No puppy!
11. I snuggle deep into the depths of the couch
Feeling it wrap me in its arms
I’ve been waiting the whole day to dive into my alternative world
Slowly I take the pages in and drift away
Time does not exist here and I like it that way
She startles me out of the world and abruptly I arrive back into reality
12. My fingers roll across the keys like a finely rehearsed dance
Practice, Practice, Practice, and repeat
Day in and day out
It’s the same thing but I look forward to the dance

April was gone, along with May
June had left, anyway
"Goodbye" July had seemed to say
"August, don't go" I would pray

October seemed to last no more than a day.
November had also left, by the way
December is here, but not to stay.

Simply pray, and listen,
but not for a sound,
but a feeling that you're missing.
5.
Think outside the box
Dream outside of "reason"
Hope outside of fear

As we are spiritually awake
we see his hand in all things.
As we are spiritually awake
we will move his work forward.
As we are spiritually awake
our eyes will be opened.
As we are spiritually awake
we have no need to fear.
7.
If you only knew
What I would say
Or what I would do
Or how I would pray
To have another chance
A chance to write, and to sing
And to speak, and to dance.

ReplyDelete1. Why? Why did this happen to me?
These are selfish words you see.
We could whine and cry and beg the lord for all the trials that are born.
But, if we ask Him to take them back, we might surely get a smack.
2. Poems are bright, poems are great.
I would never write poems...oh wait
3. God loves us, He knows us, He wants us in his life.
We try so hard to bring this world His light.
I never, no never thought Jesus would invite me into His glorious and wondrous life.
Through the pains and trials, He will always be there.
He can lift us up through a simple prayer.
Our sacred Lord and savior will always be there.
4. She loved him hard.
He loved her too.
They danced to sun and the moon.

Music sings to the soul.

You always wonder why nobody likes you,
will your beauty and shyness equals to their judgement and blindness.
They think your stuck up and mean, but they don't know that you don't want to be seen.
You walk into school with a smile walk out with a frown, knowing you don't have any friends beings you down.
The sun will still shine and the days will get better, just letting you know that these moments won't last forever.
2. Reading… reading… reading,
as you can see I'm just now believing.
3. My pomes are to long, my pomes are to short,

ReplyDelete1. When I build the Lord’s Kingdom
I seem to earn my freedom
When I build the Lord’s Kingdom
I can see the blessings come
If I believe in the Lord’s miracles
Life will cease to spin in circles
2. When I run I feel pulled down
When I ride I feel my flight
My horse and I deserve a crown
Where we can’t go, there is no height
3. The dance floor was so bright
My heartbeat song was on all night
I couldn’t be blinder
But tomorrow would be kinder
4. Remember the Queens
Remember the Boys
Remember the fantasies
Remember for centuries
Remember the man at the keys
Remember the homes
Remember the melodies
Remember the classics
5. Have you ever wondered?
Why beds are only good for sleeping if it’s yours?
Why when you reach the bed the monsters will stop chasing you?
Why chubby kids are cute but not when they’re older?
Why less and less people imagine?
Always wonder. Always search.
6. The forecast last week was a crazy thing
The end and the start were sunny as spring
While Tuesday and Wednesday don’t make me sing
Tuesday was so windy much damage was done
The snow on Wednesday was anything but fun
I want summer! With this crazy weather, I am done!
7. Blue means passion
But does it have fashion?
Blue is mysterious
Does it make me look serious?
Nevermind, I’ll just wear purple

2. "Loss of sleep,
Feeling weak.

3. "I try my best…
To be nice to those who aren't.
To be friends with people who need it.
To make THEM like me.
To make YOU like me
And against my best efforts….
They're still mean.
We're still not friends.
They still don't like me.
You still don't like me.
But that doesn't matter right? As long as I tried."
4. "Dark, cold, crumble.
Stone blocks tumble.
Vicious storm,
Destroys this home.
Standing tall,
I won't fall."
5. "Freaking out.
I'm nervous now.
Was it right?
To ask him out that night?
So many questions and a little frustration.
Oh well it's over now!
Two weeks and we will be at the dance!
And all of this will be in the past."
6. "The lies keep adding up.
More and more.
Bigger and more often.
Hiding and avoiding questions,
All because of a few little secrets.
Losing the trust of the ones I love.
Just because I can't tell anyone.
As each day passes, things get harder.
People find out and the secrets get smaller.
Now they know and it doesn't matter
They would have found out sooner or later."
7. "Summer!
Both days and nights are spent with people you love!
There's so many things to do!
3 months of fun and no school!
Just 20 more days until summer!"

We sit lost and desensitized.
Neglecting every blessing
That we never realized.
2. Where are we going?
Into freedoms halls.
Where are we going?
To read acceptances scrawls.
Where are we going?
To the tolerance ball.
Where are we going?
Into a great fall.
Where are we?
Nowhere at all.
3. Oh Lord my God,
When I’m lost in the thick grove of life
Or feel myself slipping on the mossy stones of sin
And feel the dark night of strife closing in.
I fall on my quivering knees,
To cry out to thee with humble heart in hand.
Oh Lord my God,
Wilt thou give me the strength to stand!
Then as what seems the darkest times of sorrow
I find the strength within to follow.
4. Will we stand and watch?
Because we cant find a notch.
Will we turn our backs?
Because we don’t know the facts.
Or will we run to help with no thought in mind?
And leave ourselves behind.
With The Lord by our side,
We can take a confident stride.
5. As the time ticks away
I can’t help but stare.
Stare with anticipation,
A tad bit of fear,
A pinch of excitement
And a handful of prayers.
6. All the things that I have never done.
All the things that would’ve should’ve been fun.
Regrets fill my mind
As I try to rewind.
Never mind.
Desires and dreams going unfilled
Take what you want
And keep what you have.
If not you’ll have to rebuild.
7. I thought it meant the world.
I felt it so strong.
Feelings can lie and deceive,
It’s true, even me.

buzzing in the breeze
picture this
no stress
no death
nothing but the best
picture this
a perfect place
picture this
bear and man
lion and lamb
all in the same place
this could never be
unless...
picture this
heaven
3) Cameras cameras
oh how glamorous
baby pics
teens prom pics
all captured in one simple click
wedding photographers
and cake to face smashers
all captured in one epic pic
if not for that click
then there would be no pic
of the epic moments
4) decisions decisions
why must I pick one
why cant I pick all?
the battle is not won
I want them both
my heart is torn
between the two things I love
the scorn from both
I cant please all
I try my best
but continue to fail
I must put my self first
no longer will I please all
5)Please oh Please
dear Savior
dear Lord
show me your mercy
show me the way
for I dread the path
that might lead me astray
not from righteousness
but from my path in life
please oh please Lord
show me the way
6) The wind rushes through me
as if a thief in the night
swirling
twirling
all the way down my spine
i'm planted miles deep
I stand straight in my sleep
friends of all kinds
some furry
some spike
the visit me often
and part ways the same
I love outside
my favorite season is spring
what am I?
7) Spring time
is a colorful time
with painted scenery all around
Green
Pink
Orange
yellow
and
blue
painted the plants for me and you
the colors so bright
so vibrant
even at night
long past the deep cold winter
a breath of fresh air
with wind in my hair
I live through another season

4: I love the sand

ReplyDeleteIt takes a lot of work to be a team
Crying, laughing, yelling
Whether you love or hate them you're stuck with them
Rise with them fall with them
Win with them lose with them
No individuals.
Working everyday to be better
My team is my family.
2.
She's my best friend no matter what happens
Nothing could ever come between us
She's always there for me what ever I need,
A shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen to my complaints
I don't know what I would do without her
And I can only hope that I am as important to her
As she has always been to me.

Each day is a new day
To work hard, sweat and play
Win together lose together
Team mates will never fade away.
5.
Your worst enemies, your best friends
The last people you talk to when the day ends.
Your supporters, your caretakers
Families are the soul savers.
6.
Books can take you to magical places
Introduce you to different faces
whether alone or in cases
You can read them at different paces
These marvelous things called books.
7.
Friends are the people you rely on
They comfort you when you're feeling down
Boost you up when you're around
Friends are the people you do dumb things with
Laugh with, and love.
super cool keep it up

ReplyDeleteBirthday Cake
Fluffy whipped frosting
Thick, dense, spongy layers of sugary sweet
Fourteen candles alight the masterpiece
Candy surrounds the base of the divine creation.
So, why is there ice-cream?
Easter Egg Hunt
Eggs of many colors
Green ones in the bushes
Blue ones in the sky
Red ones in the flowers
Pink ones in the trees
Autumn
Leaves with Midas touch
Traces of scarlet drifting from the trees
Flames of copper littering the ground
Beauty Around Us
Sunlight sparkles on the water like diamonds
Clouds of iridescent pearl
Fields of emerald green
Silver sparkles in a sapphire sky
The Girl in the Mirror
Golden hair sparkling in the light
Eyes bluer than the depths of the sea
Lips the color of early primrose
Who is she? Is she me?
Temple
White stone polished and smooth
Golden glory on the top
Rays of sun magnifying through stained glass
12 marble oxen carrying the font.
Beautiful
Lavishly long
Awesome
Never cold
Kind of colorful
Exquisite and special
Terrifically soft
#1
ReplyDeleteTired and sore
weak and feeble
Heavily trudging
Wet and filthy
worn and damp
Wandering far
On forgotten paths
The ones we all trod
Yet each is unique
Paving the way into our futures
#2
Loftily in the air
Hanging by string
on a wet spring night
Dreaming sweetly
resting nicely
in hammocks above
#3
Splitting
Mauling
Batoning
All the day long
Finishing with wood
Wonderful fine wood
Only the best for me
Drying it out
To make it its finest
Fire wood like no other
Only the best for me
#4
Struggling
Trudging
Moving my prize
Over hills
Across bridges
Onward to home
Through woods
Over streams
Forward I marched
Over-burdened
Staggering
Carrying my prized Anvil home
#5
Bouncing
Bounding
leaving large craters in the earth
Skipping
Leaping
Splitting trees on its path
Crushing
as it crumbles
Smashing
as it shatters
Watching the boulder roll down the mountain.
#6
Solution potent
mixing stirring
squirting pouring
Loading
into formidable weapon
Squirt gun in hand
filled with noxious chemicals
ready to fight
the hornet foe

liquid orange
chunks throughout
Strange texture
rolls over our tongues
stench so sweet
taste so bitter
drinking our old Sunny D
1. In the car waiting for the stop light you turn the
ReplyDeleteradio on and you start leading the air orchestra.
The car is now shaking.
The light turns green and the music goes off.
2. We sit in the english room waiting and waiting and
praying for our technology to finally work.
3. You walk in your new room and all you see is
BLACK. Then you realize that you are so scared
and your eyes are closed. You open them and it is like the end of a rainbow.
4. You are asleep in your new room and then you here
creeeeek you jump and there is some one....
no something in your room.
5. When you are asleep in your room there are
clown monsters that come in your room and try to wake
you up but you think it is just a dream........ it was a dream
6. Clown monsters are in your dreams every night
and you tell every one but they say it is just a dream
then you say no it is not a dream it is a nightmare.
7. Jangle is a turtle. He lives in a mansion.
But his mansion is under water though.
