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.
First yay!
ReplyDeletemy poems-
ReplyDelete1.Sleep, oh wonderful sleep
How much I love you
Always there for me
At the end of the day
Always there for me
When I need to hit the hay
2.You can't forget the past
But you can still change the future
3.Wherever you go
Wherever you are
There will always be things that bring you down
But wherever you go
Wherever you are
There are always things to bring you up.
4. Don't forget to smile
Don't forget to be kind
Because there is always someone watching
Thats is counting on you
5. There is no path that is easy
No path that is right
You have to find the path for you
And follow it into the light
6.Best friends don't judge
Best friends listen
They'll pick you up
And help you carry on
7.Trust is so fragile
It can take years to earn
And seconds to lose

DeleteMany of these are sayings that I've seen floating around on the internet. Please write your own work.
DeleteI just got on, and wrote what came to my mind…. I didn't look on the internet for ideas
Delete1.
ReplyDeleteFlying birds are amazing,
All sleek and strong and fast,
Like a living airplane.
Cliffs house the peregrine’s nest,
On a rocky perch,
Never missing its prey.
2.
There was a big pirate ship,
Captain had a big fake peg hip.
A cannon went BOOM!
“We’re off to our doom!”
Said the kids on their play pirate ship.
3.
I am a solid, you can’t touch me,
But I can shine upon your knee.
A cutting edge I can cast,
And go really really fast.
Without me, you can’t live,
I have energy to give.
Kitty paws, on me go BAM!
Can you guess what I am?
Light
4.
If you want to get to me, before eternity,
Count by powers of ten—you see.
Of circles, I have plenty, lines not so much,
Life is kind of boring, so big and huge and such.
I’m not used in many equations,
But my company’s a huge sensation.
I am really hard to write, sigh,
But I’ll let you guess, what am I?
10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

5.
I am a common house-hold tool,
And with me you can make stuff cool.
Moving blades I have on front,
My butt end, though, is rather blunt.
I am paper’s adversary,
Kindergarten uses me.
“Crafts and tools” is where I go,
Cutting things is what I know.
So come on, guess, before we withers,
If you guessed right, you should say Scissors!
6.
Every year, we watch it twice,
General conference, it’s real nice.
We get to hear the prophet’s word,
Listen and make sure you’ve heard.
After it’s in the ensign,
Read and read and you’ll be fine.
If we follow through the year,
The spirit will help others hear.
7.
We have a father up in heaven,
His kids, a billion times eleven.
How he knows us all, don’t know,
But he helps us as we go.
He loves and knows each one of us,
Trials help, but we just fuss.
Prophet tells us, “go help out.”
One thing to do is be a scout.
General conference helps us learn,
So we can win when it’s our turn.
Justin Neyman. (DE 1st period)
if you look closely at poem #1, you will see that the first letter in each line spells a word.
Delete#1 is so cool! You made an acrostic poem that reads like a normal poem. I have tried that a couple times but I can never get it just right.
Deletethanks Sada, just think of a word, spell it vertically, and write you poem out sideways from there, it makes it way easier. :)
Delete1 is stellar. You really embraced the crafting of it.

(I had my sister double-check this one)
Woman-to-Man Translator:
Yes: No,
No: Go away,
Come here: We have to talk.
I know: shut up,
It’s fine: it’s not,
You’re great: the friend-zone talk.

Man-to-Woman Translator:
Hey: hello,
Nice shoes: nice face,
I (verb): are you impressed?
Food: I want meat,
Need help: you’re smart,
You’re awesome: you really are the best.

Just south of summer,
Is the land that I love;
The weather is warm,
But not hot.
It’s nice be it rainclouds,
Or sun up above,
Except that I’m
Sneezing a lot.
6
Courage is standing when you think you’re alone.
When you know it’ll hurt, you’re brave because you know it is right.
If the world tells you to move but you stand for truth,
As you’re shoved in the mud,
That’s strength.
7
When calamity comes,
And the days destroy,
Know that you are strong.
Along the path to greatness,
There are many small choices.
They determine your destiny.
Who you are,
And what you are.
And I know you are great.
The days of darkness will come,
But you may make
The mountains shake.
In that day you will be strong,
And I will be with you.
One and four touched me wee little heart
DeleteI really liked your translator poems. The Woman to Man was spot on, and the Man to Woman clears up a lot of conversations I have had in the past. Thanks!
DeleteYour creativity and thoughtfulness shines through in these poems. I agree with the previous observations, but seven really gets me thinking. Thank you for sharing these and putting in the time.
DeleteYour poems are very creative! I really liked number 6!
DeleteHayden O. -3rd Period DE
ReplyDelete1. The Golden State
Flag with a bear
Sun beating down
Never a care
2. Waves on the shore
Crystal blue sea
Never a bore
When you hang out with me!
3. Beaches, Celebrities,
Always love the weather.
Family, old friends,
skin tanned to leather.
4. Chlorine stings my eyes.
We just went swimming.
It hurts more and more.
My vision is dimming.
5. Poem number five.
Three more to go.
Time dragging by.
Very very slow.
6. My cousin is amazing.
She's sitting on the couch.
She is a ray of sunshine.
Unlike Oscar the Grouch.
7. I'm grasping for words,
that rhyme here and there.
I am failing miserably,
So this last line isn't going to rhyme. THE END.
5 is inspirational! Just kidding. I do understand how this halfway point can get though. That's why this is called a challenge. We can do it!

DeleteI love four because it happens to me when i go to chlorine pools... i don't know why but it doesn't sting in the ocean...
1. The earth trembles Under his feet
ReplyDeleteThe oceans whirl Under his finger
The winds howl Under his breath
The animals rest Under his wing
The Serpent murmurs Under his Power
The World moans Under his Laws
The Wicked fear Under his Sword
The Gates open Under his Plan
The dawn breaks Under his charge
The seed sprouts Under his gaze
The Saints praise Under his Eyes
His children showered Under his Love
2. A drop of red
A dash of green
A stroke of brown
A shade of black
A wisp of white
A brush of blue
And now I’ve made
A tree for you
An apple tree
On a clear, bright day
An apple orchard
With the colors singing praise
3. What am I?
I snow and freeze
But deal no breeze
And water will certainly kill me
I change all day
Whatever you may
But only if someone uses me
I’m not alive
And I’m filled with lies
But still people listen to me
Inside I stay
I stand, not lay
And see you certainly daily
I am what you see
I make you be
Idle in front of my panel
4. Everything has beauty all around
Everything has skies upon the ground
Everything gives place for what is true
Everything is here for me and you
Anything can turn the night to day
Anything can help you find your way
Everything is waiting for your cue
Everything’s in shades of purple and blue
Anything can be your wildest dream
Anything can make your smile beam
Anything can lift you when you cry
From the ground to clouds up in the sky
There are things you hope you never lose
There are things that make you have to choose
There are things that leave you out of sight
Even though you try with all your might
Everything has beauty all around
Everything has skies upon the ground
Everything gives place for what is true
Everything is here for me and you
5. Only yesterday had life begun
It’s weird how quickly it flies
At times we think it never would stop
But here we are looking back from the top
As if it was only imagination
Soon tomorrow will be upon us
It’s weird how distant it seems
Although we think it never will come
It has already happened to the Elder some
As if they were born in their age
Today is happening now
Its weird what little is used
We would think its advantage would be used more
But it’s as if our feelings to the present is sore
As if we don’t care for time we are given
But time is of the essence
So tangible it appears
Every second that passes us by
Can never come back despite what we try
Which is why it is most precious to all
6. I saw it all begin to unfold,
A horror I leave to be untold
The feelings of warmth were replaced with cold
For my Fear was standing before me
But although my life was not held by bands
My sword I clenched between my hands
And struck them down to writhe in the sands
For my Hope was standing with me
7. Pencils, Papers
Calculators
To math class I must go
With homework assigned
And teachers so kind
To math class I must go
With all that I learn
With much I do yearn
To math class I must go
Despite all the facts
From the min. to the max
To math class I will go.
2 exemplifies alliteration, and the connections you made show that you took time to think. I enjoyed all of your poems. Thank you.

DeleteMy Super Poetry Post:
ReplyDelete1. Piano music is amazing,
The music is so fun to play,
I have it memorized today,
There is no need for music stands,
But…
If I forget to lift the pedal,
The paintbrush never gets clean,
And then there’s a mixture of yellow and blue,
When there wasn’t supposed to be green!
Ugly and muddled,
Upset and befuddled,
I start it all over again,
And now I know,
Without a doubt,
There is a need for different colors.
2. Porcupine, oh porcupine,
Why aren’t you called a porky-pine?
Like…
Pigs who live up in the pine-trees!
Or a pine that’s growing pigs instead of leaves!
Or… Oops, I better make like a tree and leaves…
Isn’t imagination awesome?

4. We are in a game of life,
Waiting for our turn to move,
The die is rolled,
You roll a two,
Two steps forward, one step back,
We go until the timer’s up,
And then we stay,
No time for play,
As we wait for the judgment day.
5. The room is loud and bustling,
The people talk and chatter,
There is no cause for shushing,
For when I walk into the room,
The crowd grows hushed in seconds,
And I walk down those fancy stairs,
Glass slippers make soft echoing,
The prince goes up to greet me,
I curtsy as he stares,
And then we waltz into the night,
Oh what a lovely pair!
6. One, two, three, one, two, three,
The beat is running through my head
One, two, three, one, two, three,
I could dance until I’m dead,
One, two, three, one, two, three,
I feel my feet fly across the floor,
One, two, three, one, two, three,
‘Round the dance floor and out the door.
7. Purple poka-dotted panther princess,
Six, sick, slick, slimy sticks,
Wonderful, winter, winey, wallaby,
Nasty, noisy, normal, nuisance.
Lethal lovers, loyal to the end.
Dude! Number two is radical! haha! I loved it! well done, your word choice was great. Loved it :)

DeleteLove #4! So so true!!!
Chris Cox DE period 1
DeleteVery deep thoughts
1.Day and night Sun bright like light Moon as dark as night, when the sun goes down and the night comes around we prey we eat we hunt we sleep .
ReplyDelete2. The balloon drifted through the starry night. Gazing at all the city lights below, lighting up the street. And when that balloon looks in to that starry night and sees all those brilliant lights he thinks what its like to be on the ground and to run around.
3. they're big they're fast with a mane like grass they come out at night to hunt, prey, and fight they run through the night silent and as fast as light, with a roar so loud that it would make you quiver and bow before before the king of the beasts
4. Sometimes kids think its okay to call names not knowing the effect it would have on the kid's brain not knowing that kid fights depression and wants to live and breath just like you and me but it's hard to live when all those kids are calling you names and telling you things that would make you go insane and that kids starts to blame himself for not having fame like the kids who walk the halls and he feels alone and afraid and he's full of shame and when he gets home and kneels and prays to God to help him through all this pain and when he's done he stands up feeling no shame or pain and not needing fame and he's feeling no blame, he smiles and before he goes to rest he mumbles under his breath I'm not afraid of pain.
5. She watches the waves crash against the shore and the seagulls fly above the hot, sandy ground. Why does the sun let the moon come out every night? Why doesn't he just keep shining? I suppose people are right when they say nothing lasts forever. Even the sun needs a break.
6. The raindrops creep slowly down the rain gutter after the big storm. A rainbow comes out and the grass starts to dry again everything is back to the way it started.
7. The tiger's turtle takes his tools to the tacky tavern and tumbles over the tiger's toes.
I like your number 2. It reminds me of The Blue Umbrella animation short.
Delete1 is amazing. The one thing I would say in all of your poems is to make sure you write them in a stanza format. They look like prose not poetry when you don't put them into their lines.

DeleteI don't really get the last line of #7, but I like the poem anyway. It really paints a great picture in my head.
Delete13. Earphones go in
ReplyDeleteI drown out the world
That’s my form of emotional healing
I let myself feel the music
Forgetting the world for a blissful moment
But sooner or later reality calls
14. Laughter fills the air
My friends and I are happy
We’re all glad to be there
Oh how I miss those summer nights
15. I feel like I’m trapped in a hurricane
Air rushes past my ears
I struggle against the current
It beckons me in the wrong direction
I force my way into the house
Safe from the wind
16. My hands are shaking
My heart is breaking
I get told no again and again
The tears come
I lose control
Alone is all I can think
Always alone
Then someone is holding me
Comforting me
Lessening my pain
Christ is there
I can feel his arms around me
Everything will turn out fine
17. Procrastination at its finest
I’m lazy through the weekend
Stress fills my Monday
I swear to do better his week
But the vicious cycle repeats
18. Snap, snap, snap
Our selfies fill my camera roll
Laughing with my sister
Sassy with my bestie
How fun it is to take pictures
19. I scowl at the sun
It’s far too hot for my liking
My family loves the heat
I prefer to stay indoors
Oh how I wish it were raining
Or snowing or cloudy at least
But alas my wishes are in vain
Rachel Gordon (DE, 3rd Period)
Erin B P3 DE
DeleteOn number 19, your wishes aren't very vain in Utah now are they?
I love number 18, because taking pictures has filled in all of the memory on my phone, and now to text I have to delete some of my pictures. It is sad for me, but I'm happy that I have memories from my pictures.

collecting wood
hand close by

a metal spear
sticking through plush
a fiery fortress you wait it through
falling, burning, folding into mush
Hershey's chocolate melting
loving family delight
Gram crackers crunching
beautiful gathering sight
#7 --The Act--
A puzzled mind
of uncoded ciphers
my unfolding thoughts
distraught and untold
A frazzled psyche
a treasure-trove of kindled thoughts
my own being seeking its depths
words will not describe my thoughts, which leek from my eyes
Astonished, amused, fret
a fear of other comings i do not dare
a passion I exclaim; but a glare and a whisper may keep me back
for it is far too complex for my own knowledge to grasp
In concluding act
I sit and stare, eyes closed
unable to retrieve what my future is to become
and how my act will end and show
Marissa Madsen, poem 5, inspired a line in my #7 poem
I love all the descriptions in poem 6. You did a good job of really painting a picture for the reader.
DeleteNumber 1 was my favorite! at first I was like, "Is she talking about a stalker?" and at the end I was like this stalker is fetching weird because she makes Tick Tock sounds, and then I was like, "DUDE IT'S A CLOCK!!!!" well done

Delete1. “Not being heard is no reason for silence.”
ReplyDelete2. “Laughter is sunshine, it chases winter from the human face.”
3. “To love another person is to see the face of God.”
4. “Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.”
5. “Let us study things that are no more. It is necessary to understand them, if only to avoid them.”
6. Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favour fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
- Robert Frost
7. To see a world in a grain of sand
And a Heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.

ReplyDeleteCody is so rad
in no way is he bad
'cause he's got too much swag.
His attire is so fresh
he always wears the best

his outfit is pretty tight.

15
You cannot force upon the mind
the ability to write
to push out creative magnificence
becomes a constant fight.
I try slapping both my knees
but my brain just wont unfreeze
you can almost guarantee
there is no poet in
me.
I am not a wordsmith
nor clever am I words with
or using these rhymes that kind of get a little bit out of time
you see I have no rhythm
I don’t know what rhymes with that word
this poem is kind of absurd
soooo… the end.
17
you must think I’m wretched
wicked
discusting
but I swear there is a monster
he only comes out at night
to haunt my dreams and my life
if you knew half of it you’d be trembling
so I keep this secret to myself
that I might not bring back your
Monsters.
(Inspired by the song “Monsters” written and performed by Megosh)
18
I will not go
I love you too much
I couldn’t stand myself if I did
I am not leaving
I will not vanish from your life
even if we lost what we once had
nothing can tear me from your presence
I love you too much
I am not leaving,
I will not leave
Unless we can make it to our destination
Don’t let me fall away
I’ve got your back
Stay with me
Don’t wreck me
Don’t rip me apart
Apart from what I love most
Give me another
Chance…
(Inspired by the song “2 Chord” written and performed by Sleeping With Sirens)
19
(this one is for my bro Anthony)
Most days I feel like a stray
But I never even ran away
I push forward through the
Pain
Trails
Anxiety
Depression
Sometimes I feel as if I had been thrown away like someones unfinished meal
Sometimes I feel as if I have no one that I can turn to for
Comfort
Peace
Relief
But I know that I have
Friends
Family
I have a God that loves me and will listen to
Anything and
Everything
That I have to say
So that most days I can find love in my Savior
My Savior who in his ultimate love payed for
My sins
I know my Savior loves
Me.
20
I have my reasons
I have my secrets
I have my stories
that i don’t want you to know
sometimes you don’t need to understand
sometimes you don’t need to know
the parts of me that I hate
the parts of me that I need to forget
you don’t need that to love me fully
look past my mistakes
and I will look past

DeleteI liked #2! I especially liked how you built the last three lines upon each other.
6 needs work. You "rapping" and "napping" are with two p's. What you have there is raping and naping--one is a crime and the other is not a word that I know of.

1.)Gold fish
Little fish, splash, splash.
Can you dance, clap, clap.
Little fish, splash, splash.
Can you laugh, ha, ha.
little fish, splish, splish.
can you sing, bubble, bubble.
little fish, splish, splish.
Can you dream, blink, blink.
Little gold fish of my dreams!
2.) The Wondrous dream
Hatting a hatter, didn't quite matter as much as fitting the queen.
A cup of tea seemed like the simplest thing, but now I know it's like the craziest of dreams.
sitting alone I found that living alone was a saddening affair at the least.
smoking from the gob causes quite a sob as the smoke choked the life from the addicted little mob.
And though the flowers smelled nice and their beauty times twice their vice will surely rake and spray you dull.
When the time rocks and the clocks stop the rabbit will fall down his hole, that's what I'm told.
This time was fun, but I've got to run before my head is lost to the shock of times of new and times of old.
What a wondrous dream for the dead and cold.
3.) Books
Books are gateways
Books on Sunday
books are friends that are always on hold.
books are knowledge
books in college
Books are filled to the brim with wonders untold.
Books are stories
Books on Sony
books always fill the mold
Books are the stories of the hart
books are truly a piece of art
Books are love from the start
Thank you books, thank you for playing your part.
4.)A sleep
Sleepy eyes, awaking tides, and sweetly sang lullabies fight for consciousness to hold.
Slipping hands, gravitational demands and the pressure is coxing me to let go.
I'm Falling mate, into a dream like state, I'm so tired and I'm falling in to the slow mo.
Down I go to the ground you know, but never to land on the ground below.
Slowly falling, Some ones calling, and a hand reaches down from above and tells me to never let go.
Wings are spread, tears are shed, hope is far from dead.
The stranger said, "The Comma will be no more."
5.) Purple plum.
Spinning around in circles
skipping around in purple
dancing like a fairy
little toes moving merrily
happy faces laughing
shady shadows casting
little children watching
as they do the sugarplum dance.

DeleteI really like #3 and #4!
They both paint pictures in my mind; especially 4 because it happens to me practically every morning. They are both so true and are lovely poems. Keep up the good work!
5 is my favorite, but it's because of my purple bias. Lovely imagery too.
Delete1. After such a stark failure
ReplyDeleteI was keen on giving up
Just leave the room and take what’s due
Cry and find a wall to punch
But pale-faced and determined
I stepped back onto the line
And was immediately confronted by him
The chief, saying, “It’s alright.”
So with my renewed vigor
By my purpose immune to pain
I hit the center target
So all was not a waste
2. Rogue and reckless
By my creed
I call this want
Like it’s a need
The road to success
Is paved with heart
And the heavy price
Is paid in sweat
3. Fueled by your heart’s desire
Your head has turned into a fire
The wants of your spirit intoxicate
The way that you live your everyday
4. This is all about control
Keep your focus whole
As long as you have your wits
You can overcome all of this
And as long as you keep your head
Half the victory is in your hand
5. Born from blood
Alive from the past
Terrifying
To the last
The killing machines
That ought not now exist
Who thought this was good?
Whose idea was this?
Well now you, good doctor
Have the idiot’s mark
For ever creating
This Jurassic Park!!
6. I'm all out of ideas
You can tell by my work
It's so far from my style
That it almost hurts
But oh well, that's just life
Nothing quite goes to plan
And the horrible writer's block
Always, always comes back once again
7. Opportunity is calling
And it only knocks but once
Be ready to take the spring
Get ready to face the jump

ReplyDelete1In my imagination
I look around
and see beauteous things
Flowers are over the whole earth
The cities have fallen.
Day is forever
turning into starry night.
No more pollutants
hover in frosty air.
Spring is always
turning into warm summer,
which turns into spring again.
It snows
once a year
on Christmas
the longest day of the year
besides Easter
and people’s birthdays.
No one is friendless
No one is sad
No one is gossiping
and no one is mad
but only in
My imagination

7 Acrostic poetry
Possibly the most expressive way of writing, and the
Only way to
Express myself fully.
Totally awesome and cool,
Really amazing and excellent,
Yes, I will continue writing poetry forever.
A while ago I wrote my own poetry book. I love some of my poems so much that I decided to copy and paste some on the ends of my super posts so you guys could read them.
a. How I Wake Up
I push away the sleepiness
and shake away the dreaminess
to leap out of bed!
And prance down the stairs,
to valiantly eat,
my hearty breakfast.
then I jump,
back up the stairs.
I look at the dark sky,
and sigh,
then lay on my bed,
and fall back asleep.
b. My little rock
I had a little rock
as round as it could be.
All my friends adore it,
but it belongs to me.
I wanted to sleep under
all the stars at night.
I took my little rock,
and walked to a great height.
I found out late that night,
that my rock doesn’t like hills.
It decided to leave me,
and roll off to the mills.
I hurried after it,
rushing over land.
Sadly, I was too late,
and now my rock is sand.
I love #2 it's great

DeleteI really like #2! It was well written and interesting!
1 is my personal favorite. I am glad to see you are writing.
DeleteTruman Brown period 4.
ReplyDelete1.A Poem
A poem is a painting,
A poem is a song
A poem’s never finished
A poem’s
2. A Sunny Day
A sunny day
A gale of wind
Here comes the rain
The storm sets in.
3. Cell Phones
Why today?
Why to me?
Why is my battery dead!?
I don’t understand
This thing in my I hand
I think that I’m losing my head!
Things could be worse,
A ride in a hearse?
No, nothing could be this bad!
The 1% warning
(It’s 9 in the morning!)
Is killing me slowly…I’m dead!
O wait, never mind
Ha ha, I’m so blind,
This phone is not mine,
It’s yours.
4. Chocolate
I open the box,
I stare at the treasure,
I say that I can’t,
Then eat it with pleasure,
It melts in my mouth,
I joyfully dine,
I eat and I eat,
This goodness is mine!
I reach out my hand,
I cannot resist,
There’s only one left!
My eyes start to mist,
“Oh why must it end!?”
I wail in dismay,
I mourn for the loss,
I run far away,
I run on and on,
Till my heart it is broken,
I realize at last,
I forgot one small token,
I slowly return,
With shame and with fear,
I approach the small box,
And I shed one last tear,
And then joy of joys!
Behold the last gem,
I put forth my hand,
I seize it, and then…
It melts in my mouth,
I taste of its flavor,
My heart is now healed,
I relish and savor.
5. Poetry
Poetry is tiresome, so tedious, so humdrum,
I’d rather be doing something that’s wonderful and winsome,
Don’t get me wrong I love the stuff; it really is quite grand,
Poetry is wonderful… in someone else’s time and hand.
6.A busy life
My time is gone,
My time is spent,
I don’t know what to do!
My busy life,
Is full of strife,
It feels just like a zoo,
I need more time,
To reach my goals,
Intelligence pursue,
Yet you would see
If given me,
I’d fill up that time too.
7.Sunset
The Vibrant sunset;
Noble colors fill the sky,
Roaring as lions.

Delete1. The moment it hear, one that we have been waiting for all year.
ReplyDeleteBlood, sweat, and tears come down to these three minutes,
but its all worth it because we are going to be breaking our own limits.
The curtain upend and we all stay still,
the cheer of the crowed runs down our back with a chill.
The music starts, we're in first position,
eat right, dance hard, we are in good condition.
Smiles are a must, but showmanship is key,
when we are on stage we are the best that we can be.
The dance is over you're adrenaline is going,
the crowed is so amazed they stand up and start roaring.
2.
I love the sun
the sun loves me
when it shines down I am so happy.
3. School is hard… school is great,
three more years is a long wait.
4. Brother and sisters are better then best friends,
you know why, because our love never ends.

Have I done any good in the world today,
Would he be proud of me?

There was an old man with a beard
Who said "It is just as I feared! Two owls, a wren, four larks, and a hen
have all made thier nests in my beard
There was a young lady of Kew
Whose virtues and vices were few
With blameable haste, she devoured some hot paste,
Which destroyed that young person of Kew.
There was a young person whose nose,
Continually prospers and grows.
When it grew out of sight, she exclaimed in a fright
"Oh! Farewell to the end of my nose"
AND MORE...
From my little brother:
There is a young person of Rose,
Who does whatever she knows.
When the people say "that" she replies like a rat,
That disturbing young lady of Rose.

At the shore I can feel my soul sweet
The touch of the sand tickles my toes

A crab carefully crawls across, creeping cautiously
The echo of laughter lingers loud
Dolphins dive and dance during the day
The beach is an unbeatable and beautiful place.

ReplyDelete1.Kiss a frog he turns into a prince
Why I never thought of it before
But perhaps it’s silly how true the primary rhyme can be
But perhaps it is true…… Once you give your kiss away
He just might turn into a prince
2.Soft sometimes

Because of one simple thing

Gasp as they swirl
Look while they twirl

DeleteI really like number 6! It was descriptive and great. I personally love butterflies, but my sister is so deathly afraid of them that one time she got injured from her surprisedness (I totally just made that word up) of seeing one! She was sort of run/walking down a mountain trail in Layton (where my grandparents used to live) and she saw a butterfly and she tripped and happened to cut her knee on a piece of sharp metal sticking out of the ground! :( She came home to us with a really bloody knee. It was really sad! And it was all because of a butterfly! :p
Anyway, great post! :)

1. She looks so bright and stunning,
In her dress of black and teal,
So beautiful and cunning,
It just doesn't seem real.
The way the light hits her face,
Makes the moment just right.
The look of absolute grace,
as her smile lights up the night.
She makes me stutter and stumble,
When I look at her glowing eyes.
To be her choice leaves me humble,
To be one of a hundred guys.
The night is still young,
Not much could go wrong,
She's the only one,
I want with me at prom.
2. One hour,
Two hour,
Three hours more.
I just can't find the good.
can't find it anymore.
I pick up the blade,
I run it across my wrist,
The cold steel feels good.
How could I ever resist?
One pain, one pain different,
Different from its brother.
How ironic it seems,
To cover up one pain with another.
The blade runs deep,
Much deeper than before.
This time I can't escape...
I collapse and hit the floor.
3. A dog with a blog,
Who thinks he's a hog,
Has a strange job,
To eat up brown logs.
What logs does he eat?
Not ones for a treat.
He eats what he leaves,
On grass near his feet.
The poop in his mouth,
It isn't half bad,
But sooner than not,
He'll surely be dead.
4. Black or white,
Big or small,
God has love,
A love for us all.
We need to take,
That same love,
And give to others,
A people as one.
When faith divides,
We're in the wrong,
Good will provide,
When following God.
Love unfeigned,
And God's sweet grace,
Will always be there,
No matter what you face.
5 - I'm losing it.
My sympathy,
My empathy,
Isn't meant to be.
Why should I try?
It doesn't make sense,
Why repent?
When he isn't there.
I'm worthless,
Not even one cent,
Could pay for my sins,
So why repent?
It's hopeless,
My life in a flash,
Is too much to bear.
He doesn't care.
He isn't there.
So why repent?
I'll tell you why.
He might not,
Always be there,
But he does care,
And he always forgives,
No matter what your sins.
Always repent.
6 - It's always there,
The rope necklace.
So tempting to try on,
It's always there.
Why can't it end?
It's too much to hold.
I'm going nowhere,
Why can't it end?
It could fix everything,
My problems all gone.
In a quick instant,
It could fix everything.
I'm slowly losing sight,
Of my goals and my dreams.
The necklace is tight,
I'm slowly losing sight...

When are the men done?

1) General Conference
Oh! How blessed we are to have a prophet speak!
Oh! How joyous sounds to listen for and seek.
What greater is our home above,
Than God’s eternal hopes and love.
Seek not for riches found on earth,
Return to God in a new state of birth.

3)The Train
Trains water winter plain,
Skating by the railroads lane.
Walking into lonesome road,
Without anyone's passwords go.
Freaking out, what’s that sound?
Rushing wind, toot, comes around.
Square, smoking, long, saying
Hey look! Here comes the train.
4) Who can find a virtuous woman?
Who can find a virtuous woman,
Whose countenance shines ever bright,
Who ponders scriptures daily,
And receives strength from light?
Who can find a virtuous woman,
Whose price is far above rubies,
And sacrifices what ever she has
To serve in callings and duties?
Who can find a virtuous woman,
Who maintains her personal purity,
And settles for a temple marriage,
For time and all eternity?
Who can find a virtuous woman,
Who honors the Lord in humility,
And fights against the evil one,
Alone, standing tall, fearlessly?
Inspired by President Ezra Taft Benson 1985-95, Ensign, Nov. 1986, 84 “To the Young Women of the Church” from (Young Women’s Personal Progress Booklet) and Proverbs 31:10.

5) Winter:
White specks falling to the ground,
Cold, yet water, for a child found,
Sitting on the bench so high,
Waiting for sunlight sky.
Winter takes it days to warm,
For snow to melt in the storm.
Drafts come in few a day,
Then goes light soon away.
6) Commonly Confused Words A - D
Adverse to the trials I ask for advice,
Affecting my struggles I then apprise.
But soon it seems I must bear,
Bizarre blankets that are bare.
Coarse it is to change to climatic
Complaisant I am, but not to climactic.
Discreet I can be on my dad with a duel,
Discrete I may need in a draw or a dual.
7) Commonly Confused Words Definitions
Careful not to attract attention,
To that censure dried currant,
Or to diffuse it over a field
And inside a watery current.
Counsel is given to protect you good,
To defuse the danger into a desert,
And mix it into anyone's glasses,
Or cause adverse in their dessert.
Now i’m done with these words, for they took a long time to write.
I hope that I have used these words correctly because I am showing off with them now and probably won’t ever again.
You did an amazing job with the commonly confused words! It is inspirational to me for writing something of my own. Wonderful!
Delete1) Alive.
ReplyDeleteI wish I was alive and well,
I think it’s safe to say that we all do.
I wish I was well and whole,
But I’m not, and that’s okay.
I wish you were fine too,
It’s better to say that you’re not,
Hide behind the mask I gave you,
Is that not what gives us life?
Lying and cheating and making a house that’s hollow.
I wish I was alive and fine,
But I’m not, I’m still trying to realize that this life is mine.
Is it?
2) Mad Delirium
Drip drop,
My tears, my fears, my insecurities
Rolling down my cheek.
Drip drop drip,
I wish I was fit for this, this madness of a mind.
These decisions I’ve made aren’t mine.
Drip drop,
I can see my life rolling away,
Faster than a freight train
Down the hill of becoming.
Something more has sprouted in me.
Drip drop drip,
My eyes have started to clear, And now,
I’ve begun to see past the delirium in
Me.
3) Timid
i feel timid,
vivid are the thoughts that i have of what i had.
i feel rancid,
a drip of a forgotten soul moves past my shattered window.
in the back of my mind I begin to wish i hadn’t started this
mess.
it’s torn a hole through my soul and it’s only getting deeper.
i feel timid,
torn, wrecked, crashed, burned, ruined, rancid, disgusting, dripping in
regret.
4) A Chord
The notes are strung so
Perfectly as for you to hear
What you needed to.
5) Listen
Listen,
Don’t hush the fears of the night.
Listen,
To the voice that says, “You’ll be alright.”
Listen,
You’re not the only one, so put your faith in those around you,
Don’t give in to the cave-in mountain of stress, pain, sorrow, and grief.
Listen,
Let it grow inside of you like a seed.
Listen,
It’s your belief.
6) Hush
Hush now,
The baby’s sleeping, your footsteps will awake him.
Hush now,
quietly,
quickly,
Is how you trod,
Hoping, from your babys sleep, he doesn’t nod.
Hush now,
Down the stairs and to the kitchen,
For a midnight snack, you’ve been itchin.
7) A Rant.
Drama is so lame. It’s the stupidest thing since rising to fame. I guess people that cause dis kinda junk think that’s what they’re gonna get. Drama is sooo dumb, it really ain’t that fun, and I’d rather move to the nunnery where I can live by myself, I’ll be my own, “hey there hun” You know what I’m sayin? It’s all just kinda annoying, I start to feel like a toy and it’s boring puttin my brakes to the floor kay? kay. It’s all just one big mess that gets you stressed, and you can’t find relief to satisfy your belief of good things. And people always say, “oh you’ll be fine.” But, you don’t really know that because you ain’t me… I don’t know where I’m going with this, maybe I’m just trying to rant, get these things of my chest that make feel dank, stank, and damp. I’m done.
Trev, that was awesome dude! I love these poems! I can really relate to #6, since I'm the oldest of three, and the oldest grandchild on my mom's side. Years of experience has taught me that: you REALLY need to keep you voice down when a baby is asleep, or they begin to cry and... It's no picnic. :-)
Delete7 is more like a paragraph, but if you played with it and put it into stanzas, it would work. Another round of awesomeness this week. Thank you for taking this assignment and running with it.

ReplyDeleteThe pain isn't mine
the pain from beneath
the pain of the world
dragging me underneath
The pain is decietful
it burries me
it's painful
I feel alone.
2
Why do I feel like I need to cry when I don't actually have a reason?
Why do I want to ball until my eyes hurt?
Or scream until my voice echoes through this unexplainable void.
I am tired of feeling so empty when I know I shouldn't.
Why do I feel alone in a room full of friends?
These emotions are making me feel as if I am being thrown into pit of never-ending darkness and the only way to escape is to drown myself in an ocean of tears.
Everything around me seems dismal and fake.
Everyone around me seems distant and strange.
Every choice I make that seems right only furthers the distance between myself and everyone around me.
But wait. Is that light that I see?
Is that a whisper of hope that I hear?
The Lord is always near.
He knows my pain and he feels what I feel.
The choices I make can bring me closer to him.
When no one else is there He will always stay.
Christ will show me the truth when I don't know what to do.
He will be my Anchor, and He'll guide me through the mist of the world.

As I arrived at a fork in the road
I met a man.
He told me of a beautiful destination
where I would find the treasure
that I had been so earnestly searching for.
As long as I stayed on the
right path, he said,
I would arrive at my desired station
a better person than before.
A journey so long,
so diverse,
so Significant.
The man said,
If I would but press forward,
and follow the
slender and unbroken road
I would have the companionship of a spirit.
The path may get challenging and
There might seem to be
an easier way to achieve your goal,
but if you trust the Path
you can obtain your treasure.
There will be cliffs, canyons, caves,
and much more.
You will pass through forests of green and mountains of white,
There'll be times of doubt and scarcity,
Lonely thoughts of despair,
but every step you take
is one step closer to triumph.
It'll be worth all the pain,
The light that comes only after the rain.
The satisfaction and joy triumph the adversity.
You'll see.
Now we begin.
Now you are set free,
and now you must embark
on your glorified journey.
5
I wish I didn't have this bitterness inside of me
It damns my progression and happiness
What happened is past and it doesn't have to continue to effect me
I don't really know why it does
If it would just go away I could be free
Freedom
Nothing tying me down
Nothing holding me back
Back from my full potential

The power of love is a curious thing.
Makes one man weep, makes another man sing.
Just a small town girl livin in a lonely world.
She took the midnight train goin anywhere.
She loves to laugh, she loves to sing.
She does everything.
I'm 15 for a moment.
Caught in between 10 and 20 and I'm just dreaming; counting the ways to where you are.
I walk along the city streets you used to walk along with me
and every step I take reminds me of just how it used to be.
I remember when rock was young.
Me and Suzy had so much fun.
You're a real tough cookie with a long history
of breaking little hearts like the one in me.
These songs are all number one!

Suddenly awake
Afraid
Confused
Frightened
Abused
Taken away
Only one thing to lose
All hopes quickly decay
Wandering hands steal
the only thing she has to conceal
only one thing keeps her stable
she's trying to hold on to the one thing she knows is real
trying so hard to remain faithful
the end finally takes her
She's once again wrapped in the arms
Of her true and loving Savior.
Poignant work; all of it. I want to talk about 3 specifically though. It is so important for us to look past the bad, sad, and negative to see what is good and right in the world. I like what you did with it.

Your light so bright came to me midst my dank night
I shrank at first sight until the warmth of its delight
Carried me further and henceforth toward your heart

1 Life blankets this verdant world;
ReplyDeleteLight and Harmony say, “Breathe our essence.”
Dusk brings a quiet poetry to us:
Sacred Eden.
2 She wanders underneath the boughs
The sun shines o’er the garden stone.
Behold! A rose of splendid white!
She holds it close ‘til she goes home.
This Eden may not stay for long,
But memories will last.
This girl who held the rose of night
Will find her truth at last.
3 Once upon a time,
I kissed a little frog.
Though ‘twas no prince
I did not wince,
And so we got along.

5 Galactic dragon gets smart brain interface.
Linear program play with phaser space.

I promise to
wear pants of blue
And yawn on bended knee.

If you feel like you've got
Nowhere to turn
Nobody to talk to
No one who understands
Or nothing to give you hope,
Look to the Lord,
He'll be there to turn to
When you need someone.
He'll talk to you
In your darkest moments.
He'll understand you,
He knows you well.
And he will give you hope.
2.
Time tells tall-tales
While tall tales take time to tell
Tall tales won't tell time
But tall tales can tell about time.
Tall tales aren not true tales
Tall tales take time to come up with,
While true tales take no time at all.
HONESTY
3.
When your weaknesses
Turn into all of your strengths
You are on your way
4.
We can't comprehend many things,
We don't understand plenty of things,
We haven't got a clue as to a lot of things,
Questions without answers.
There will always be enough of those.
5.
Cold and lifeless
The winter may seem
Alone in the silence
The winter could be.
But sledding downhill,
And Snowball fights,
the winter is oh, so still.
Winters beautiful sights.
The winter is good
It's just misunderstood.
6.
Hot and dry
The summer may seem
Things can go awry
In the summer it may be.
But being outdoors
Or watching summer sunsets,
Being on the beach shores.
Or living in your sweats
The summer is great,
And its presence I will await.

Life is like a song
Some high notes.

But we must finish the song,
Often, the end is the best part.
Make your song beautiful
Until the very last note

In the cold,
All Alone
The boy huddles in prayer.
Too few had seen
This boys face streaked
Covered in his tears
All alone in life
His guilt was consuming

Rubber Rubber Rubber Bands!
I hate hate hate hate hate them!
They rip your mouth till it is sore
I wish I could kick them out the door
I hate hate hate hate hate them!
5.
The driving force of the man’s passion
Is his inescapable love of fashion
6.
If I could speak English!
My Life would be Delish
Good like Fresh fish!

1. Scritch, Scratch, Scratch
I sketch a castle big and tall
Scrape, Swish, Swoosh
Add a sparkling blue sea
Crinkle, Crackle, Rub
Erase here and there
Scritch, Swoosh, Scratch
Into my sketch I go
There but also here
2. I close my eyes
Away into another world
Light blue skies
The clouds swirled
A beach of pink sands
Purple ocean, green waves
Behind me is orange land
Yellow trees, red caves
Animals we have never seen
Different colors, sizes and types
Some glimmer, some in between
There are spots and stripes
I run around in this dream
Meeting friends, things to learn
Things are not what they seem
Into the real world I return
3. The creature is different
I found it in the woods
Something going on, a hunt
I was looking for some goods
The creature I named
Was big and small
I knew it was blamed
It was short but tall
Lavender fur, green paws
A fast as the fastest horse
Dragon wings, dangerous claws
Hard to control, such a force
I spend my day at its side
Will have to say goodbye
Right now though I’ll ride
Forever under the blue sky
4. Secret forest beneath the rain
Quiet peace of nature spring
Full of more than I know
Behold how winter snow make fresh
Flower blossom from earth and grass
Our deep sweet spirit song
Cloud of our soul and love
Always bright sun above
5. Her dress was as blue as the blue, blue sky
Her smile as bright as the burning sun
Her jacket as white as the clouds that fly
Standing in a field of her green garden
Her eyes sparkle as the diamond stars above
Her hair as dark as the darkest night
As dangerous as a scorpion
As sweet as light
6. I am here but gone
World of my dreams and yet not
I am brave but scared
Standing by myself alone a lot
Alone in my corner but in a crowd
Feeling either lost or caught
I am quiet but loud
Never know my real thought
I will stand for what is right
I could flee but I fought
I am not a teacher yet I am
Teach what needs to be taught
Learn what needs to be bought
This is not all for naught
7.The Stowaway
There was that one day
It didn’t really go my way
Nor did it stay that way it stay
I didn’t really want to disobey
Just wanted to see into the passageway
Then I found the stowaway
Apparently I found his hideaway
He said he was from faraway
And came here for a holiday
I asked if he was a runaway
He looked at me in dismay
Like to him I did betray
I told him I would go away
Said I’ll be back on Friday
That day was yesterday
I returned to the doorway
Found his room in disarray
I guess he had to getaway
I will return everyday
In hope to find the stowaway

I can drive, I can date, man, there's not much to hate,

14. Rescheduling.
Rescheduling, Rescheduling, the worst of all the things.
You try to go on a double date, but find that you are changing your plans, because your friend decided to not ask his date until the last second, and found out that she was not sixteen.
The unexpected turn of events is really quite tiring.
15. Vilification
It's funny how we vilify the other side.
We blame them for our problems, so that we can hide.
Republicans blame Democrats, and the reverse is true.
Time to pause and question: Is this happening to you?
Vilification doesn't only happen in political debates.
Sports games are full of it. They're often full of hate.
We shouldn't see others as objects even when in rage.
I guess it's just a part of our AMERICAN HERITAGE.
16. Music.
Music,
It fills my soul.
It uplifts.
It inspires.
It motivates.
It invigorates.
It calms.
It testifies.
17. Don't stop, just yield.
Most stop signs should be yield signs.
To understand this statement better let's look at the science.
When people can see for miles in every direction,
Why should they stop if there road is clear?
Some things on roads are necessary, such as lines.
Some rules, if broken, should take away your license.
Many stop signs however, offer no protection,
So why should a car stop, when no other cars are near?
18. A summary of my day.

I like little bits of everything
Not just a whole one of something
Sample different things- explore different options
You don't always have to play it safe
2.
Fall- When the sweetness of the summer comes to any end
And the bitterness of the cool crisp air comes in
When the bright colors begin to fade
And the brilliant oranges, yellows and reds take over when great definition
3.
Winter- The colors have completely faded
The white from the clouds in the sky cover the earth
The time to stay in- be close with the ones you love
Share happiness with the world in the joys of the season
4.
Spring- The colors swiftly sweep back in
They never went away- just hid for a while
The sweetness in the air gently settles in and stays
It won't be long before we will begin the summer days
5.
Summer- the colors all too bright, almost too bright to see
Children at play and smiles appear on every single face
The worries of school replaced with the thoughts of vacation and sleep
The colors are bright for a short time, but must once again soon start to fade..
6.
Water- one of the things I love so much
It keeps me clean- which keeps my happy
It gets me attention and love when I cry
It gives my body strength and health
It washes my sins away
7.
Sometimes when I feel alone I don't know where to turn
I'm desperate. I'm weak. I'm delicate.
Does anybody understand how I feel?
Then I fall to my knees- that always seems to be the last resort
but it fulfills my needs every time.
I don't feel desperate, weak or delicate.
I feel love, and I know I'm not alone.
This was really good! I love how you described the four seasons, fall was my favorite. Your last one touched me and I really enjoyed all of them. Thank you for your poems.

ReplyDelete13- I wish I could sing
Then maybe I could sell my voice for ring
Or some other sort of bling
I wish I had a possum
So I could be really awesome
But I wouldn’t smell like a blossom
I wish I had a pear
Then I could eat it in my lair
I’ll try not to get it in my hair
I wish I had a car
I would drive it extremely far
But not to any bars
I wish I had a dog
So I could hide it in a log
I would buy it a pet frog

Once upon a time
There was a marshmallow
She fled on feet as heavy as limes
She hid herself in a log – it was hollow
Her hunter attacked
He hit her with his sword as well as smacked
Her down the ravine
Where there was a stream
The warrior chased after the dueling pair
Down the ravine and across the stream she flew
To the evil villain’s lair
And her courage grew
The Author watched in anticipation
What a proclamation
She would be a name in every household
She would have loads of gold
The marshmallow cried
The fire underneath her was hot
The hunter sighed
She called for help , a smore she would be if not
The warrior charged headlong
As she ran she sang a song
It was about ice cream
About ice cream she did scream
The author watched the clash of swords
The deed was done
She wrote the words
And watched the sun
The marshmallow was no longer doomed
The hunter fled to a store filled with looms
The warrior rewarded herself well
The author wrote a story she thought quite swell
The End
15- They are round and soft and gooey inside
They make me want to take a ride
They are made cows
And are filled with wows
The smell is calling
The meatballs are falling
They roll around my plate you see
They are good with sauce and noodles for me
16- He is tired
He is sleepy
He is weepy
His lazing is to be admired
He is doing nothing
He sits
His face covered in zits
From his junk food eating
He really likes his Xbox
He plays it all day long
He starts each level with a bong
He refuses to change his sox
17- Probably overated
Really? Well maybe not
Oh my gosh we are weird
My prom night was great
18- Roxanne is my camera
She is a dear
I love her so
She takes such beautiful photographs
And has multiple lenses
I love my Roxanne
19- I am writing a poem
Or maybe it’s a sonnet
What about a haiku?
I really don’t know what to do.
I’ll add in a rhyme there?
Does that even go?
Does low rhyme with go?
I’ll make up some words
Maybe that will make it right…
McKenzie!!! This was hilarious. Thank you for the laughs. They are really good and I love all of them. Good job on the poems. I loved you last one but they were all so good (and random, and a little odd, but hey what is the fun without it being odd?) and your story about the marshmallow was so funny. Again, thank you and I love it!!!

How I long to see the ships,
That sail out on the sea.
I want to see the stars that shine,
As across the sky they flee.
Somewhere in the forest,
I want to see a bear,
Instead of sitting here,
Deciding what to wear.
Way out in the desert,
A camel waits for me,
To ride across the dunes,
And find a tall palm tree.
I love to see the planes ,
That fly across the sky.
I wish that I could fly as well,
Above the trees so high.
I feel I need to take a trip,
And see the wonders of the world.
My wanderlust is great,
My adventure is yet unfurled.
2.
A brand new shirt,
It fits so well.
Comfortable too,
Now can't you tell?
3.
Exploring new places,
Brings such a great joy.
Even more so,
Than a brand new toy.
4.
Ships on the sea
The salty breeze blows my hair
I watch from the docks.

How joyous is the sun today,
I wish that I could be,
As wonderful and bright as it,
For all eternity.

Poor little Trembly,
Five years ago his pants,
Fell down in front of the assembly,
And his face is still red.
7.
When the day is done,
I lie in bed,
Reflect on the day,
Like a movie in my head.
I suddenly remember,
What I meant to do,
What I put off till later,
I had to do it, I knew.
This thing was important,
I couldn't leave it be,
Oh why did I do this?
What's wrong with me?
Procrastination.
Everyone does it.
But why do we do this?
Why put it off a bit?
There's a simple fix,
No one seems to see,
It could solve this big problem,
If you'll just listen to me.
When you get your assignments,
Don't put them way off,
Do them right then and there,
Don't you dare give a scoff.
I promise it'll work,
Each and every single time.
I know cause I've done it,
You'll feel so sublime.

DeleteMattaya Kearney Period 4
ReplyDelete1: I love my car,
she is my star,
can drive really far,
without getting a scar,
she's not a guitar,
but she's a mighty great car.
2: Sometimes we feel blue,
not feeling new,
it's very few,
when we feel like we wish we flew,
even though we knew,
it wouldn't be true.
3: Life could be like a dream,
but not what we seem,
it could be green,
without a theme,
or with a team,
and yet not on the screen.
4: It would be great to be on the beach,
to feel the sand in your toes,
the wind in your hair,
and the sun on your face,
to feel at peace,
to know it's where you should be.
5: When you feel alone,
you feel pointless,
hopeless,
sad,
depressed,
closed,
tight,
But when that changes,
and someone comes to your side,
you feel important,
blessed,
happy,
inspired,
open,
relaxed,
and hope they don't leave your side.
6: I'm so tired,
at least I'm not fired,
not even hired,
I wish I could be inspired,
or have something required,
something that could be admired,
but I'm just tired.
7: Wow I feel like my poems are cheesy,

nor breezy,
kind of sleazy,
at least it doesn't make me queasy.

The coolest kid around is Bowen Davis
He could get out his guitar and play this
Song that I wrote him. Here we go.
(This song is going to make dough)
Bowen Davis is the coolest dude yo,
He ain’t one of them average jo’s
He is sexy, cool, and fun
And always very quick with a pun
He know how to get the ladies
And he is never afraid, he is, the coolest around is

People are always going with the
Old style of communication for
Emotions that should be expressed in
Making letters
Sending letters to loved ones
So read this message
Understand it, poems are still
Cool and dope, but there are other
Kool ways of expressing emotion
5.
The Lord has given us a tool
But we use it as a distraction in school
Because we assume that we know stuff
And that their minds are filled with fluff
Because they are so old,
And I am being so bold
Texting is not all bad
It really makes me glad
Just people over use it always
In class and in the hallways
And not making relationships
While not improving on friendships
So look up from your phones
Instead of becoming what society wants us to be:
Animated Clones

The dagger that penetrates the very essence of my mind

My world is a blur
My eyes do fill with great tears
When hit with harsh words
3. Talking with buttons
The shortest conversations
Span the longest time
When the talking is done
By thumbs and buttons
4. Paper Cuts
The smallest things can cause the most impact on our lives,
As has been proven
By paper cuts.
5. Food fight
Apple slices in the air
Meat and French fries in my hair
Food is flying everywhere
As my mother sits in despair

Water
Confined to the plastic
It was packaged it
Searching for a way out
Looking for the path of least resistance
And one day
It happened
Its bonds were lifted
And it found itself in a much dirtier environment
That was dark
And lonely
And it longed
For that clear bottle
Where it felt safe and beautiful
Where it was admired by others
And felt wanted
And suddenly it realized,
The bottle wasn’t so bad after all
All alone

2. SPRING
Snow fleets from my mind, and I'm
Packing up and string the winter decorations.
Running and jumping through the new blades of grass and then stopping and watching.
Incing forward are the new blossoms and buds of the trees and the peas.
Nothing can beat that feeling of green, and rain, and life.
Gathering seedlings, and wanting to sing, I plant and play with my family.
3. Loving myself may sound narcissistic,
but believing in myself makes me more artistic.
Because of my confidence, some think I'm hyper and ballistic,
But I'm just happy and optimistic! :)
4. As spring approaches I store my boots
At night I start to hear owl's hoots
In the tulip beds, I start to see shoots.
And in the garden grow hidden roots.
5. My love for animals is unheard of
Puppies, chicks, or lizards I bond with.
I enjoy the chirps of birds much more than the squeaks of mice,
But I appreciate God's creations.
My love of animals exceeds even my expectations.
6. A hug is the only thing he wants of me
But I don't trust him and I want to flee
Into the shadows of my broken heart
Where he made the shattering start.
I look back to the laughs we once shared
And I start to wonder if he ever cared
About me and my feelings and my personality
But that's when I wake up to the grim reality.
7. Somewhere far away from me
Is a place I would rather be.
All the people I could see.
And other times I would spend my time with my friends three.
We would sit in a cottage and sip our tea
Making silly stories and wild decrees.
But then to reality we must flee.

1. Following along never wondering why.
Never asking where we are going,
Or what we are even doing.
Believing in the wrong people
Becoming obedient sheeple.
As we all wonder onto sandy grounds,
With restrictive bounds.
2. We hear but never listen.
We look but don’t know what’s missin’.
Placing our trust in the words,
Ignoring the hovering birds.
Look up from your toes,
That’s why nobody knows.
3. Stop staring at the dirt beneath your feet,
Move your eyes once and while,
Maybe we’ll meet.
We might look up to the sky,
Finding the hope to fly.
Flying above the clouds even the sun.
Because I know when we look around,
We can hit a home run.
4. Slipping down a slippery slope,
I’ve begun to lose all my hope.
As I slip and slide I remember all the good times,
The hardships and the victories.
Was it all for nothing?
No! It could never be so.
Reaching, stretching grasping for anything.
But it seems everything is vanishing.
5. Cranking up the tunes,
Staring up into the full moon.
Lying on the cold wood dock.
Getting lost in the milky night sky.
Not even caring about the clock.
Thinking of the eons that have passed,
And have yet to come.
Feeling so small but yet so vast.
6. The crunch under my feet,
Stepping on the fresh snow sheet.
The frost bit air running through my hair.
That feeling I can hardly bear.
Squinting my eyes, as the snow flies.
I think I’m ready for summer,
That’s a bummer.
7. Looking to make a difference.
Hoping to make a change.
I have my heart in the future,
And my mind on the same old page.
I’m doing my best to move on.
But my past keeps me withdrawn.
It’s time to break free of the old,
And chase the promising new.
2 is so lovely you truly are a true poet.

1. (inspired by magnetic poetry)
Blue birds wander under a blanket of clouds.
The moon peeps through with a wink
A river blossoms up right out of the ground,
the blue birds bend to take a drink.
They climb up and up into the cool night air,
their wings flapping to a sound beat,
the moon shines down on their blue bird chests,
making them look smooth and sleek.
Each bird is a symbol of happiness,
their color a reminder of the sky,
each reminding you that if you try hard,
you might, like them, be able to fly.
2. I am a poet,
and no, I won’t say “know it”
I’m not that cheesy yo!
And besides, I do know.
3. “I can’t”
Guilt,
regret,
I wish I could change what happened.
But,
I can’t.
I can’t change what I’ve said or done.
I can’t change the mistakes I made.
I wish so much that I could,
but I can’t.
I
Can’t.
No matter how hard I try to change my past,
it’s stuck the way it’s always been.
I’m sorry if I hurt you, I know I did,
but I can’t change it.
I can’t.
I’ve said stupid things,
I’ve hurt so many people,
I’ve hurt you,
I’ve hurt myself.
And,
I'm so sorry.
Guilt,
disgust.
Self loathing.
Why did I do it?
How could I be so oblivious?
I'm not perfect.
No
One
Is perfect.
Except...
one.
He is perfect,
But he still died for our sins.
He paid a price that none of us could,
So we can live again.
Guilt,
Regret,
It Can all be washed away.
No,
I can't.
I
Can't.
But he can.
4. Heavy eyes
feel like lead,
Can I please
Go to bed?
Aching head,
Swollen throat,
I'm shivering
I need a coat.
I'm so cold,
And tired too,
I may have strep,
Or is this the flue?
Go to bed,
Get a drink,
My head's so tired
I can't think.
5. I'm pretty.
Why should I cover my face with makeup?
I'm beautiful.
Why should I try to be who I'm not?
I'm short,
But why should I try to be taller with high heels?
I'm smart,
But why is beauty more important?
I'm not perfect,
So why are our standards based on perfections?
You're you.
So don't try to change that.
6. It seems as though she can fly,
gliding smoothly over the sky.
she smiles a gentle smile,
calmly watching all the while.
Her royal robes of pearl
seem to shimmer and to swirl.
Her glistening crown of stars
lies forever, near and far.
She comforts through the night,
with her dim, yet regal light,
sometimes she is gone but you know,
that her shining face she’ll show.
(can you guess what she is?)
7. young, bright, brisk and clear,
the morning comes at last.
He scampers all around with cheer,
he comes, he stays, he’s past.

DeleteBrady L. Period 3
ReplyDelete1. Fear
Fear drives us as a people.
Fear drives us, to soar like an eagle.
Fear pushes us, to ask that cute girl or boy to a dance.
Fear pushes us, to use words to make a stance.
Fear nudges us, to become better people.
Fear touches us, to fly like a seagull.
So don’t fear fear; let it launch you to the sky.
Fear will be feared no more, if you give it a try.
2. Courage
All it takes is some 30 seconds,
For you to have some insane courage.
But a true hero’s courage never wavers.
It’s there when you fall.
It’s there when you’re the victor.
3. Never Ever Would The Weather…
Never ever would the weather,
It rained all night; I’m chained by a tether.
Can’t go out all night.
Can’t go out all day.
I really, really wish this weather would go away.
4. Dreams
Dreams seem so fleeting, until they’ve been lived.
We take dreams for granted,
Before they’ve been acted.
The true excitement lies in the wait, not the journey.
But the journey is when we are learning, and being nerdy.
5. Satisfied
What truly makes us satisfied?
Is it our family? What if they die?
Is it the food we eat, or the people we meet?
Or is it when gravity is tried to be defied?
It’s definitely not when a challenge is shied.
Or when we try to always hide.
It is being content, with whatever is meant
to happen, today and tomorrow, and forever.
But trying our best to be happy, and clever.
6. What I really think
I think sometimes, we read too much between the lines.
We create fantasies, where we are the victims.
“Bobby thinks I’m fat, and Sabrina thinks I’m too clean”
You think as they watch you across the gallery.
But maybe they like you; maybe they are having the same thoughts.
Assuming will not help, go over, talk, and connect the dots.
Bobby doesn’t think your fat, he thinks you look fine.
Sabrina doesn’t think you’re too clean, in fact,
Sabrina washes her hands all the time.
So stop reading between the lines, and assuming the worst.
Go find out what they’re really thinking, and you will be the first.
7. Short and Sweet
Short and Sweet.
Here’s a treat.
Go and live your life,
To the fullest extent,
That it was meant to be.
Ohhh number one and two gave me the chills, they were amazing!

DeleteI loved your second poem! Keep up the good work! :)
1)The last choice you make
ReplyDeletewill it keep you awake
at night in your bed
will you beat yourself red
at the end of your days
will you dig your own grave
will you seal your own fate
with that small simple mistake
that you might make on the day
you'll quickly decided to say
my spirits yours
the devil will reply this is the price you will pay
if you make this mistake
on this very day
the decision is yours
and there is no return
so don't come to me when you burn
2) The pain of defeat
lies heavy in my feet
its truly disappointing to me
3) we are all the same
both you and me
she and he
her and him
we all go together like a bottle of gin
we talk the same
walk the same
we eat the same
even sleep the same
ha
who am I kidding
we are all different
some speak with a slang
some walk with a sway
some drool as they eat
some fight while the sleep
some forbear
some flaunt
some founder
some flounder
yet God still made us all the same
4) Like a lion I feel
after hes eaten his meal
he sleeps and sleeps and sleeps.
5) this blinking black line
staring me in the face
this blinking black line
making me want to scream in UPPERCASE
instead I refrain
from such disdain
and decide to write civil
6) repeat, repeat, re, rep
i'm st-u-u-u-ck-k-k in this motion
of re-e-e-petition
i'm scratched

ReplyDeleteThe lights are dim
The seats clothed and in a row
Popcorn litters the ground
The movie appears on the screen
Poppies are red
Sunshine is yellow
Water is blue
Grass is green
These are the colors of spring
A little clue clock ticks on the wall.
Computers are starting
Chairs are banging
Hushed voices chatter through the room
Clicking fills the empty space
In a room full of computers
Fairies dance around my head,
Yet I never leave my bed.
Trees taller than skyscrapers loom high above the ground,
But they do not make a sound.
Am I dreaming?
Pencils scurry across white paper
Black printed words blend together
Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
Time is up!
Friendship is a sacred thing.
Without my friends, where would I be?
They laugh with you
They dance with you
They support you no matter what you do.
Laughing in history
Smiling in science
Joking in English
Studying in math

Driving is so much
ReplyDeleteI have only had my permit for a while but I still love driving
Once I get my license I will be driving all over the place
If you think you don’t want one get one anyways
It will be worth it
What do you think of when you hear the word truck
Do you think of a toy
Do you think of a person
Or do you think of a big truck that can majorly hurt you
What is your definition of life
Is it a hard think that God has you do
Is it a struggle that you just want to end
Or do you take every second of it as if it was the end
Being sick sucks
It is especially bad when you are in a long car ride
But the worst is at school
When you fell it coming out but you have to swallow it because you are in class
Once you swallow you taste that terrible taste that you have always hated
Electricity is so amazing
Sometimes I think we just take it for grant
Once in a while we should not us electricity for a while and see what it is like
Then I think we might relies how much we are blessed
Electronics have gone so far in my life time
We have gone from a big box in TV’s to a 1 in think screen
Cell phones are the same too
They have gone from nothing to something they is daily used by all

DeleteI can totally relate to your last one :) Keep up the good work!
1. Chatter fills my mind
ReplyDeletelike a hurricane with no direction
I really can't seem to find
a good sense of rejection
my emotions have really flatlined
I can't seem to have a good time
Trying to brush it off
but sometimes i accidentally scoff
my friends try to help me
I don't want them to let me be
even if sometimes I push them away
ll try to help them as well some day
It really sucks to be me
2. the big bad wolf with eyes of red
was in my dreams while in my bed
his yellow snarl did frighten me
and yet I really couldn't see
the plan that he had made before
to enter and come in my door
even if it was a dream
I still was scared of his old scheme
3. time passes quickly
it feels like it's not moving
can I go home now?
4. There once was ship,
Lost deep at sea.
Tethered to nothing,
All wondered where it could be.
The ship had been something
In its glory days.
But it slowly began a battle
To keep its weaknesses at bay.
You see, the foundation was there;
The walls were the key.
They’d faced so much storm,
Out alone at the sea.
The ship had drifted,
the captain had bailed.
There was no time for that one final sail.
All wondered where this ship had gone,
But the ship had tired of waiting for dawn.
The end of the storm, the ship would never see.
I should know; that ship, was me.

6. Dawn
Light and dark
cool and crisp
mist flows down my cold stone steps.
night creeps away
slinking into shadows
light crawls in
reluctant to invade
sun kisses the house, and trees
rays sneak into the leaves
trills start, and bird flutter
the mist rises slowly, creeping up like a curtain
day has arrived!
7. What is a rose without its petals?
It is but a stem.
Beauty which goes unnoticed,
-a hidden gem.
1.
ReplyDeleteAs I walk out the door
I see waves crashing on the shore.
Seagulls gliding through the breeze
Salty wind fluttering through the trees.
I feel the course sand beneath my toes
The golden sun burning my nose.
I do not mean to boast
But nothing is as beautiful as the coast.
2.
Colors rising in the east
It's a spectacular sight to say the least.
Sun is out and shining
So bright it's blinding.
But it comes to a close
And sets it's colors once again to dose.
3.
Existed since the beginning of time
Big slopes that you can climb
Beautiful landmarks you can visit
Breathtaking heights it's simply exquisite.
4.
Floating in the night sky
Brighter and brighter the more they fly
Glistening through the silence of night
Earths pleasures and delight.
5.
Swaying in the breeze
A big part of human needs
Home for an abundance of creatures
Tress have so many amazing features.
6.
The breeze whipping through my hair
The rain splashing on my face
Waves disappearing without a trace
Beauty that nothing else can compare.
7.
It shines so bright
All throughout the night.
Through the years it stands so tall
Winter summer spring or fall.
It leads the sailors out of harms way
Not a single ship lead astray.

I can’t believe you
so show me whats in your hand
3:here we are chasing stars again
here we are lifting bars again

here we are holding hands tonight
tomorrow theres another fight
when will it cross your mind

4:were living on borrowed time

sometimes you’ve gotta fight
holding to the light
that keeps us all so sane
so just run through the gate
5:some things in life go away to fast

hold on the the things that matter most
until the day
you give up the ghost
6:i’m looking for someone
someones looking for you

ReplyDelete1. Standing Under The Light
Standing under the light
as the cold wind blows.
Standing under the light
as temptation grows.
Standing under the light
when night time comes.
Standing under the light
if I leave
Standing under the light
to the dark and shallow
Standing under the light
I will fall to the deepened hallow
Standing under the light

Here lies a girl

Asleep at the wheel

Can we not,
just have a day,

Where there's no worry
about essays

Oh, wait,
Thats called a weekend.

Oh, how I completely adore you,
I wish that I could score you.
But all you do is ignore,
Do you I just bore?
How can I get your attention?
To show you my affection.

When you get a puppy,

And it can become a trend

ReplyDelete1) PANDA
P-udgy little guys,
A-nd mildly ferocious,
N-ever try and lick one,
D-on’t feed them meat,
A-nd certainly don’t slap one.
2) Cinnamon Jim
There was once a man named
Cinnamon Jim,
He ate too much candy,
Never entered a gym,
His fate was grim.
3) Windstorm
Snap, crunch, split,
Branches falling,
Bows bending,
Earsplitting, Nature’s roar.
4) Ballad
We all hide the demons within,
Under furrowed brows, and faulty grins,
All withholding ravenous sins,
One lie ends, another begins.
5) End
You will have little time to mourn,
Your end has been forsworn,
Every beginning has an end,
There’s no need to pretend,
Some souls are marked,
The reaper has embarked.
6) Life
Make it Worthwhile
Make it Memorable
Make it Full
Make it Yours.
7) Faulty Logic
The world does not revolve around you,
All of us have problems too,
Some of us carry faulty logic,
Which is truly idiotic.

ReplyDeleteSo bright and beautiful.
Shine and sparkle and make my life wonderful.
Lots of shades.
Light and dark. Neon and bold. All are incredible."
2. "I'm sinking in the sand, and I can barely stand.
I'm lost in this dream, I need him to hold me.
'Cause I'm scared of being lonely.
I'm scared the only heartbeat I hear beating is my own.
And I'm scared of being alone.
I'm tired of emptiness, it's worse than before.
I don't want lonely anymore."
3. "Snapchats with funny faces.
Makes me laugh 'cause we look crazy.
Up to 10 seconds? Heck nah. Imma screenshot it.

Especially when they're going to someone you love.
But something even better,
Is your loved one sending you a letter."

It's a big day. This team we need to beat.
Whistle blows. Things start out slow.

Few minutes left. Our final test.
But those last couple shots cause us to mark it as a loss.
In the intense heat, we faced a defeat."

ReplyDelete1.There is a place
It is not real,
But I find my self there,
Way to often
It is where I go
when I have had a long day
Everyone is kind there
And that is how i know it is not real
2.There are trees that touch the sky
Around the meadow, that has a stream going through
The ground is green and soft
Peace and gentleness comes without need to try
3.life is hard
Thank you to the movie
For letting us escape or daily troubles
Letting us become a character.
Following someone's life,
That appears better then our own.
Going to movies allows a vacation for the mind.
Providing a place where enjoyment is had.
Movies do provide suspense and scare,
We know they are not real, and that it all will work out.
That is the fun of movies, is it is not real.
some movies provide stress for people,
the movies is over, your worries end.
4.Everyone needs a vacation,
Vacations are not always achievable.
But escaping the worries of life
counts as a vacation,
Even though many people
will disagree.
5.

E nthusiactic.

T hinking of others

F ull of joy.

6.Turn off that alarm, it's ringing my ears.
How can you sleep with that noise loud and clear.
Sleep seems to be what your day want to be
But let me remind you, girls are with me
Time to get up! The day is beginning
7.Like a humming bird finding its food
Like a lion hunting its prey
Lives off the nectar of life from others.
hated by all it come to.
Seeks life off others,
While other seek its life.
Slips under the eye and into the vein,
Plunging into its victim.
No mercy or sympathy, just needle
Used to penetrate into animals.
Can not relax for it is always hunted,
It is the hunter and the prey.
Like a zebra kicking a lion,
Does not kill, but will be killed.
May sound like an impossible task,
But yet I still itch on my arm
