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).
Don't forget to make constructive comments!
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. Emma Smith
ReplyDeleteTrials, heart break, disappointment she felt,
She cried at nights but felt peace when she knelt.
When Joseph left she never knew,
What he did or what he had to go through.
Emma Smith was loving, brave, and strong,
Someone I look up to and am inspired by all along.
2.
Some have peace,
some have love,
some get messages from above.
Some have heart brake,
some have trials,
put on someone else's shoes and walk a few miles.
3.
Plant a little seed to watch it grow,
what will be the outcome, you will never know.
With a little bit of rain and a little bit of sun light,
this little flower is going to put up a pretty big fight.
We need to learn that this is how, we all grow,
the rain will always come before the rainbow.
4. Died on the cross and suffered for our sins,
he died for us so we need to live for him.
5.
Different paths that we take, different decisions that we make.
Different choices that we chose, we live to live… we don't live to lose.
6.
Wake up

7.
Time flies we all know,
How to live and where to go.
The time you have taken to ponder different topics is apparent in your writing. 7 is short, and it should be developed further, but I like it's flow. It is smooth and true.
DeleteAbby F. 1st period
DeleteThose are awesome! My favorite poems are #2,3, and 5.
Awesome.
DeleteI love number 3 most of my poems lately have been nature poems I just haven't ever thought of writing one about a seed. Maybe I'll try to write one Thanks for the idea!!!!!
DeleteCheynie W. 1st DE
DeleteHoley cow!!! Number one and two are phenomenal!!!! They are written really well, and you even rhymed the first one, which is always hard for me to do and still have my poems sound good and flowy! You rhymed it and it is still perfect! Amazing job!
1.
ReplyDeleteThe Ways We Say I Love You
Sharing food, photographs, self
Making time despite the lack thereof
Finding funny, thoughtful things to give
Creating space in the life we live
Handing out encouragement like candy
Sending smiles along the wires fondly
2.
Spring winter spring
That is a thing
Buds do blossom
Frostbite sets in
And somehow
With love and care
And a dash of magic
Spring sets in again
Beckoning summer
An endless gorgeous summer
To settle in
Forever
3.
Patience gives you an invitation
Everlastingly asking for a bit more time
Affectionate and tender tasks at hand
Carefully teaching trust and love
Even when life is at its worst
4.
Roses bloom in this glad garden
Smiling reds and purple passions
Soak up the sun in all its grand glory
Friendship for a soil
Kindness, sweetness, cheerful chatter
Feed the roots and force their smile
5.
The light of God rests gently on my shoulders
Bearing up my burdens many
As I listen for his sure guidance
There is a word I've persevered to know
Listen
Listen
Listen for what He would have you do
Listen for that light within to show you the way
Listen to the love that is around you
Listen to the happiness that comes with trust
6.
Take me with you
I wished upon a star
Take me where you always are
Hold me tightly
I pleaded with the night
Hold me forever within your light
7.
Your song that your soul sings
Tells me a story that I want to hear
My story that my soul sings
Adds to your story in such harmony
Our story that the past, now, and always
Gives a gladness that touches everyone we know.
I swear I saw your sixth one on a another blog earlier today…. RANDOM
DeleteNope. I don't ever plagiarize. I'm glad you are reading poetry though!
DeleteCheynie W. 1st DE
DeleteI love all of these a lot! My favorites are the third and sixth ones. I like how you often sort of teach a lesson in your poems! They are great.
Amazing poems Sis. Jackson! I really enjoyed #2 and #6!
Deletemy poems
ReplyDelete1. Cats
So fluffy
And sweet
So cuddly
And cute!
2. If I had but one wish
It would be for me
To be with you forever
To grow old with you
To make memories with you
Forever
3. Summer.
Climbing trees
Swimming in pools
Staying up late
Gazing at the stars
Tanning in the sun
No homework
Freedom
4.Do you ever look up at the stars
And wonder
What is up there
What is beyond what you can see
5. I am sometimes told
That they are just books
Just movies
Just letters on a page
I know they are not real
But I need fantasy
So that I can survive reality
6.Its scary to think that one day
Everything you know and have
Will be gone.
7. So many times I wish my life was an adventure
I wish I could go on a journey like Frodo and Sam
Help a rebellion against an evil capitol like Katniss
Outsmart a dragon like Bilbo
Look for a cur for a diseased world like Thomas
Lead a clan like Firestar
Defend my city with a bow and arrow like Oliver Queen
Solve crime like Shawn and Gus
Be a high functioning sociopath like Sherlock
Fight monsters and demons like Sam and Dean Winchester
And so on
But I guess I just have to be happy with me
(Frodo and Sam are from Lord Of The Rings)
(Katniss is from The Hunger Games)
(Bilbo is from The Hobbit)
(Thomas is from The Maze Runner)
(Firestar is from Warriors)
(Oliver Queen is from Arrow, the tv show)
(Shawn and Gus are from Psych, the tv show)
(Sherlock is from Sherlock, the tv show)
(Sam and Dean Winchester is from Supernatural, the tv show {that show is awesome})

DeleteSo much creativity! You have inspired me. 6 is a thoughtful poem that I believe deserves to be explored and added upon. Thank you for sharing.
DeleteCaleigh K. Period 1
DeleteNumber 7 was so simple yet so delightful! Thanks for sharing!
Cheynie W. 1st DE
DeleteLOVE number 5! As Thomas Jefferson said, "I cannot live without books," neither could I! And it doesn't sound like you could either! :)
McKenzie A, DE Period 3, Boston
DeleteI totally feel you on the fifth poem. I am constantly trying to tell people that I need these stories to survive but nobody gets it! Keep up the good work! :)
Hayden O.
DeleteNumber one: Why do people hate cats so much? At least you like them!
Number 7 is my favourite because I am a huge book lover and some times I feel the same way, I want to go on an adventure of my own and it's hard to think like that especially when you have family and responsibility that demands your attention and sometimes we just crave to do a little more then just live vicariously through books or movies, ya know! Anyway like I was saying 7 is my favorite.
DeletePoem week #4 April/20/15 9:31am
ReplyDelete1.) Brothers
Come together brothers of mine, Let us be the writers of our minds
And let us take up our crowns and fly, for the end of all time
and on our journey we will find, the gates to the cloud city nine.
For if I am to die, I wish to die beside, my brothers and my sisters at the end of the line.
Gather up your problems and fears, we'll lock them away for adventure draws near.
Make a wish or say a prayer, come on brother we're going to explore the world out there.
We'll chart the stars and see if we can't find the worth of our harts
Let us not disappoint our Lord, what are we waiting for?
that's the grate big world of ours!
2.) POP!
Pop, hop in the pan
I make a pop, hop in my hand
I watch the pop, hop move the land
We do the pop, hop dance.
3.) Never look back, never be afraid.
I thought of you the other day
Wasn't it you who use to say
"Never look back, never be afraid!"
But I looked back anyway
and I saw your ghost standing before your grave
you saying, "Never look back, never be afraid!"
but I was afraid.
The tears I shed could not be ignored
my life was like a double edged sword
My spirit's a warrior trying to knock down that stone door
but despite my strength, it was I who fell to the floor
I thought I could pick up the pieces and put them back together
But why did I think I could make everything all better?
I never meant to hurt myself falling off the shelf
But the purchase was never made
And still I hear you say
"Never look back, never be afraid!"
I'll climb a mountain to prove my faith
so that one day I'll be the one who says
"Never look back, never be afraid!"
4.) P.B. and J rap
you be jelly.
'cause I got P.B. in my belly!
You say you're silly?
Oh, I can't dealy!!!
You jump
but I be fly
Calm down child
no need to cry!
5.) Next time
Run, run, run or get shot by my gun
Fight, fight, fight the wars just begun
Hide, hide, hide before someone loses an eye
bye, bye, bye until next time.
6.) Who you are
Focus on how you want to bee seen
and no one else will see you differently
Learn to understand your own feelings
don't distract yourself with how you think others are feeling
You can achieve anything
just grab hold of the railing
Take a leap of faith
now your sailing!
Friend, the world is waiting
and it's knocking on your front door, it's yours for the taking.
7.) No excuse.
Mom, I'm sorry I let you down
Dad, I wish I could stand my ground
Brother, I was lost but know I'm found
I'm sorry that that means I have to leave town
Sister, I'll miss your sound
promise me you'll never feel bound.
To the words unspoken that left me feeling broken
I wish I could set thing strait, but I fear it's far to late
So, I'll apologize and whisper my goodbyes
And hope someday you could forgive me for all my crimes
Their nothing extreme, but still they make me cry
Because I have no alibi.
I really love number seven!
DeleteCaleigh K. Period 1
DeleteI really love number 7. It was so inspiring and had lots of love and genuine creative symbols and meanings. It was very beautiful and sincere. I've been trying to just forgive and forget with my family. ;)
I have to be completely honest with you when I say that 7 was probably one of my least favourite out of all my poems however I'm glad you could relate.
DeleteBonus poem:
DeleteB.) All through the night.
No, Stop, Don't wake me up!
Please stop trying to make me unstuck!
I can't move, so just let me be!
The blankets have grown attached to me!
You pull and I tug! Quit trying to brake up our love!
They have excepted me as their own!
So, why wont you just leave me alone?
"Wake up!" you say. "It's time to start the day."
But, if I wake up, I'll be abandoning my one true love
And dude that's like not ok.
so get out of my room and just let me be
leave to my blankets company
Just watch as I get Five more minuets of sleep
before my alarm clock goes beep beep beep.
Blankets promise me you'll never leave my side
during the day or all through the night.
Bounus bounus poem:
DeleteB.B.) The dream
Ding, dong, open your door
sing a song then sing a little more
open up wide and smile at the sky
wave to the clouds as they pass on by
close your eyes and listen to the world
don't be shy, you can dance the twirl
open your eyes and gaze at the skys
life is fun, now say good bye
Head inside, it's late at night
fall a sleep then awake from the dream.
It was all but a dream!
Hannah P. 3rd period (DE)
ReplyDelete1. Springtime time is here!
It should stay all year.
It's not to hot,
It's not to cold,
It's the most perfect thing
to behold.
2. My sister, my sister
Oh, how I miss her!
She is away
She is gone
From me.
Oh, how excited
I will be
When she
Comes home to me!
I did not mean to post that! I wasn't finished!
DeleteI really like your first one. I love spring time, I get to see the beautiful sun, all the flowers are in bloom. And over here at the farms there are a whole bunch of baby calves! They are so cute!
DeleteCharity P. (DE) (3rd)
ReplyDelete1.Heart racing
Hands shaking
Do I like him again?
No way!
Swore I would always hate him
But just by talking things in me are shaking
But maybe we can now start to be friends
2. Hiding stuff is hard
Keeping it secret is harder
Hearing secrets is hard
Keeping them is harder
Oh I wish I wish it was easier
3. Scared
Angry
Sad
Happy
Excited
Depressed
And so many more
How is it you can feel so many at once?
4. When two people like each other
But it’s one sided
It’s like this
Girl:
Girls brain process: That boy, that boy, that boy!
Boy:
Boys brain process: Lots of girls, lots of girls, lots of girls
Why can’t things be simple?
Life is too short to waste time
5. Color
What is color?
Describe color?
Can you taste color?
Can you feel color?
What is color?
Color is what makes life
Without color we would be in an abyss
6. Words
Communication
Letters
Meanings
Feelings
Words are so much more than letters
Words unlock people’s emotions
Words are the key to a secret door inside your heart.
7. Would you rather have a box of cheap pizza?
Or…….
A slice of delicious quality pizza
That’s how I pick friends
May not be most popular
But instead of having a box of 5 dollar pizza
I have a slice of quality pizza
That is an awesome analogy! I would much rather have a quality friend over someone I just want to be seen with to make me popular.
DeleteAbby F. 1st period
DeleteI absolutely love # 7 and 4. So much creativity!
Caleigh K. Period 1
DeleteI totally agree with you, Abby!! That was really creative how you related a pizza to a person. A lot of thought was put into this. Awesome job!
Cheynie W. 1st DE
DeleteI like the second one a lot! I like how each line was built upon the other.
3. My big brother,
ReplyDeleteHas gone away to fight.
To serve his country
Both day and night.
Please protect him,
Keep him safe.
While he is away
From his family.
4. Soap, soap, soap.
My dad and I
make lots of soap.
Our favorite one,
is scented
Ginger Milk.
It is great to use
to make our skin
feel like silk!
5. Work, work, work!
There is lots of work
to do in our yard.
Plant, plant, plant!
It's so much fun
to plant our garden.
Sore, sore, sore!
Lets be done for a while!
6. Some kids,
get grounded from TV.
Others from their phone.
Me?
I get grounded from reading!
7. Friends bring joy,
Friends bring love,
Friends bring happiness
when you are down,
Friends bring comfort,
Friends bring piece,
and friends will always
be there to catch you
when you fall.
Pretend this is connected to my first post!
DeleteI really liked #6 because I can relate to that 100%! I have been grounded from reading about 10 times!
DeleteCheynie W. 1st DE
DeleteNumber 3 really tugged on my heartstrings! I am really grateful to those like your brother who fight for us and our country! And number 6 almost made me laugh out loud. It was hilarious!
I really liked your 7th poem. I totally agree with it! Thanks for sharing it!
DeleteHayden O.
DeleteI love number 7 too! Friends are awesome!!!

ReplyDelete1. Deleted once more,
ten minutes to go.
A sense of Deja vu,
Just lots of "Uh-oh"'s
2. Music, my jam.
Beat, with a kick.
Cymbals, make it crash.
Treble, don't hold back.
3. Ukulele jammin',
Swimming and sun.
Sea turtles and tides,
Coconuts and fun.
4. Family is a funny thing.
First and second, twice and thrice.
Removed, direct, and distant.
Weird genetics, roll the dice.
5. I tripped, but did not.
Instead I flipped.
And flopped.
So yeah, I tripped.
6. Bell just rung.
Why is this so?
The elements are against me.
Just... Woah.
7. Jumped, leapt,
dove, and splashed.
Smacked and whacked,
Body smashed.
Number 5 wow that was really funny! For some reason everyone likes number 5! Tripping really is flipping and flopping! I also like number 1 it was really awesome I always have deja-vu it's so weird!!! I think Deja-vo is creepy!!!!
DeleteYeah 3! There's nothing like jammin' on the ukulele next to sea turtles and coconuts

Oh Elephant, your Elephant,
Intent is so benevolent.
You’ll never lead to misdirect,
So educate your intellect,
Now while erect, reiterate,
Communicate your relevance:
The elegance of Elephants.

The Rhino that I know,
My, my, there is no substitute.
Resolute to emulate,
His land so dry and desolate.
Wrinkled bags and sags await;
Respiteless heat shall not abate,
Yet here elect to stand and wait?
Although I cannot fathom why,
The present life you don’t decry,
I respect you so resilient, my,
Preposterous Rhinoceros.
3
Oh Hippopotamus, I say,
Your day is so monotonous.
Reminiscent of a purple stone,
Upon your throne you sit and laze.
The river king of Africa,
You bid to take a Bathrica!
I say, Oh Hippopotamus,
Go get yourself a Jobamus.
4
Look out the window, into the day!
The grass is green; the dew is wet.
Summer sunrises a golden day
Of adventure, we will find it yet!
A day of opportunity,
The clouds explain in blue,
To find the world we long to see
I’d love to share with you.
5
Roses are rose;
Violets are violet.
Oranges are orange.
Literalists are bad at poetry.
6
Zeus found a moose in a sideways caboose.
Moose wanted juice, so Zeus climbed a spruce.
Zeus called Goose and asked for some juice;
Goose loved his juice, so he made an excuse.
Zeus said, “I deduce that you have juice.”
Goose said, “Bruce, quick bring the noose!”
Bruce said, “Goose, the noose is loose from misuse!”
Moose called, “Guys, I’m not a recluse.”
“Juice abuse will induce me to produce my own juice!”
7
Sing a song for someone,
Bring a boat to bay.
Choose to care for something,
Bring a brighter day.

ReplyDelete#1 Little blocks
stacking building
creativity sparking
lost like your socks
Lots of them
Everywhere
Gone and disappearing
Organization is a problem
I'm in the dark as I creep
like a barricade of bombs
stepping stubbing stabbing
your feet
#2 A fiery furnace
a mess to confess
a phoenix diving
to my shoulders' back
may be crusted with playful mud
others will compliment and stare
put in a bun, pony, or pig
my orange genuine hair
#3 Orange
a word that rhymes is a challenge
a happy sunset, fiery hair,
something I love; I sit and stare
#4 A gelatin bell
a heartless no shell
no flounder in the deep ocean sea
a graceful tentacle bee
--Can you guess me?--
#5 A beacon of pure energy
The Lighthouse stands strong and tall
red, white, and gold
like our Jesus Christ who will not stall
to love and save us all
but if we are lost or not in true form
Christ has saved us all and is one who foretold
that it is you he will hold
#6 Her face a million meanings
lies, truths, mysteries, secrets untold
she lays to please you; trick you, deceive you
you hold her tight; without her you bite
She will take many swindling forms
and will create masses of storms
unless you use her wisely for good
she'll put you in a lazy misunderstood mood
like I said, she's everywhere...
now go outside enjoy the sun
have some genuine family fun
her face a million meanings
--Can you guess me?--
#7 A lovely day to go outside!
a sunny cloudless sky
I lay and roll in the sun's rays
but now I am a fry
I think the answer to #4 is "octopus." And I think #7 is "iPhone." Did I get them right?
DeleteYou are such a great writer Caleigh! I think that #6 is the media these days... pretty unpredictable. :-)
DeleteKyAnne D 1
DeleteI loved #1! And 2! also I think #4 is jellyfish and #6 as said is media or phones.
1. The grass is turning green
ReplyDeleteSo it must be spring!
2. Dishes, Dishes
Pile up so quick
It makes me sick
Got to tackle them
One at a time.
3. Sun where do you go
When the moon
Takes over the sky?
4. Being sick is never fun
Being sick is very dumb.
5. Homework, Homework
Why do you take over my life?
It seems like you never end.
And then we start again
6. There once was a one legged man
Who lived in a garbage cane.
He's favorites color was light tan.
He was a stinky garbage man!

Erin B P3 DE
DeleteI love your seventh poem. Recently I read an article that basically said the arts were worth nothing to culture, and that beauty was also worth nothing. This just took me out of my despair that the whole world thought lightly on the importance of beauty.
I loved the 7th poem! I definitely learned some new words!
DeleteAbby F. 1st period
ReplyDelete1.
City lights shining ever so bright
Surrounded in darkness covered in fright
Seeing all of the cars passing you at night
Billboards scattered everywhere
Being with your family on road trips
2.
Witnessing the dark feeling inside you when you have done something wrong
and hoping that it will all be okay and work out fine
Guilt and fear starting to overthrow your hope and faith
Not knowing what to do
3.Willing to give up parts of their live to spread the work of the Lord
Walking with faith in every footstep
Rolling down an unfamiliar road and not knowing what lies ahead but knowing that you are being watched over
4.The sound of your alarm going off in the morning Beep, Beep, Beep
the worst sound in the would
I will just lay here for a little bit you tell yourself
Now I am late for school and catching the bus
5.
The wind flows and picks up the dirt
trees threatening to blow over
Driving cars wanting to pull over
Fog covering the mountains
Hey where did this snow come from?
6.
All full of adventure
You can perform the impossible
Jumping off of cliffs and flying over the mountains
Finding aliens and crashing UFO's
The adventures you have in your dreams
7.
The sound of rain drops dropping on your head
When you give up on your umbrella and get soaking wet
Cars getting all dirty from driving in mud puddles
Singing and dancing in the rain like there is no tomorrow
I really like the imagery in number 1. I also really liked 3 and 7.
DeleteYou are totally amazing Abby! I love 5, and 6 a lot! Great job. :-)
DeleteCheynie W. 1st DE
DeleteI have no clue why, but number 7 made me really happy! There's nothing like playing out in the rain. :) Awesome job on your poems, Abby!

Poems—lines, rhyming words,
About anything, friends to birds,
Rhyming lines like I’ve got here,
Some poems so good they draw a tear,
Metaphors are fun as well,
Using stressed words, (the Dactyl)
Adjectives and Imagery,
Hyperbole and Irony,
There are long ones, such as ode,
Some about kissing a toad,
Onomatopoeia, that’s a mouthful,
If you use your head, think of a symbol,
Poems are cool if you use style,
Free verse, Foil, this could take a while,
“The stove hates me,” Personification,
Immovable alliteration,
Fantasy stories, the use of Fiction,
Opposites and Contradiction,
Aid to exciting, the Climax,
Order of words, the Syntax,
The list of devices goes on and on,
Like the Setting—dusk or dawn,
Whew, I think I’ve done enough,
This was fun, but really tough,
Repetition is real fun,
Okay, now I’m done.
2.—another great acrostic poem.
Bedtime blankets have their fun,
Little kids are never done,
All on the couch while operas sing
Newborn babies blankets bring,
Kitchen raiding while snuggled up,
Eggs and juice poured in a cup,
The softness of our blankets are,
So great and warm that they go far.
3.
Load your ammo, dodge the shot,
Sneak around but don’t get caught,
Hear a sound and see a shape,
No way that he can escape,
Lift your sight, aim true and clear—
The Nerf gun battle has gotten here.
4.
White has a pretty sheen,
But maybe with a bit of green,
Add just a little hint of blue,
Some yellow makes it all come true,
Orange and red, “oh wow” that’s nice,
I think that I will use green twice,
A bit of purple to make it clear,
A new painting has gotten here.
5.
The devils, they destroyed my fence,
No wonder that I am so tense,
Pull out the T-posts and the wire,
“I wonder, should I light it on fire?”
Patch up the holes, weld them together,
Tie them taunt with steel infused leather,
It is done, come laugh and shout!
OH NOT AGAIN, MY GOATS GOT OUT!
6.
Through the air, the ball flies fast,
But not to me, the sphere shot past,
It was hit, came back to me,
I saw a friend, kicked it to he,
He smacked it hard, toward where it came,
Into the goal, point for the game,
One for us, none for they,
Ref says time, WE WON TODAY!
7.
We are at base, we’re counting down,
Ghost runs off across the ground,
Nighttime hides his sneaky flight,
He hides real good and then sits tight,
Kids at base come spreading out,
If they see him they will shout,
If they shout then they will run,
He has to tag them, that’s the fun,
The ghost is seen, the kids all scream,
Instantly vanish so it seems,
Ghost takes off toward the base,
Running fast, a high speed chase,
He closes in on his dashing prey,
He tagged him, now he’s ghost today!
Number 3 Yes! I am never going to outgrow my nerf battles.

Poetic devices are hard to follow
Every rhyme I make ends up sounding hollow
Rhythm is hard to feel and to write
Irony’s definition won’t come to light
Consonance and assonance are weird words
The lossonance of rhymonance is absurd.
Couplets are amazing, sonnets are a bore
Silly, strange alliteration, streaked and stringy to the core
Though poetic devices are hard to use
(And repetition is super easy to refuse)
Refuse to refuse the mighty use these tools
If you don’t, you’ll soon be known as a fool.

Science is difficult
Writing a chore,
History is mind-numbing
Math is a bore
But I don’t think that,
No, I don’t think that anymore

Kinetic balls of energy
Ignoring our commands.
Truthfully delightful and
Too much fun to play with.

I am who I am, so

Heroes mighty
Heroes weak
Heroes fates
can seem so bleak
Heroes nice
Heroes mean
Heroes weapons
aren’t so clean
Heroes then
Heroes now
Heroes should
have a crown
Heroes aren’t
Just the strong
My heroes are
My dad, my mom
6My blanket
i love my blanket to bits and pieces literally pieces because it has holes all through and it it is blue and white and faded and amazing and soft with more holes than fabric and my mom says i am sort of too old for it but i still carry it everywhere and it is my favorite thing that i have had since i was born it wasn’t made by my mom but it was my best friend when i had none and when i am sad i go to my room and snuggle with it and feel the fuzzies on my nose and i used to not be able to sleep without it because it has been mine forever and it is my only special blanket and i love it so much
7
A blanket is amazing
It has so many parts
It warms me up when I am cold
It always warms my heart
The Holy Ghost is amazing
He’s with everyone
He just like a blanket
He turns his back on none
So keep your blanket always
and the Holy Ghost too
They will keep you warm
And guide to what is true
These are more of my old poems:
a.She gently brushes their hair
with a natural comb,
then changes the shades
drastically,
dying it red,
brown,
yellow,
never letting them keep
their natural color.
Then in clumps
with her scissors
that are much sharper than the comb,
yet no different,
she cuts it all off
drops it on the ground,
and sweeps it
with her comb-like scissor broom
across the world untidily.
I have to clean up
after her mess
with my mundane rake,
nothing like her life-changing tools,
hoping that she won’t scatter them once more
and laugh in her shrill voice,
forcing me to start again.
But after all,
Mother Nature’s the stylist.
I am just the janitor.

When Kevin came to town,
The quiet was so loud
You couldn’t hear not nothing
Not one whole sound
That’s when Kevin came!
This beautiful hunk of man!
He ran right into town!
With a banjo in his hand!
Singing hey da-de da-de da-de da-de da-de
da-de! Doddie woddie doddie woddie doddie diddle da de day!
Kevin was a master!
He could play most tunes!
And all those bumbling people!
Came out and danced right through!
The boys and girls started talking!
And men and women conversed!
And while they started to sing!
Kevin played the second verse!
Singing hey da-de da-de da-de da-de da-de
da-de! Doddie woddie doddie woddie doddie diddle da de day!
Old Mayor Jones was a sour puss!
He was long in his prime!
He was conservative man!
He never spent a dime!
So when he heard that dancing!
He was maddened through and through!
But then his wife done kicked him out
And he went dancing too!
Singing hey da-de da-de da-de da-de da-de
da-de! Doddie woddie doddie woddie doddie diddle da de day!
Well it started getting late!
And Kevin’s work was done!
And he began to say good bye!
Parting was a sorry one!
And off he went with his banjo
Had his hand on-top his gun!
And here ends the fourth verse!
And now this song is done!
Singing hey da-de da-de da-de da-de da-de
da-de! Doddie woddie doddie woddie doddie diddle da de day!

In the mountains it is hidden

7. The river flies by,
Rushing over rocks,
Creating rapids,
Islands spread about through the middle,
Trees lean over the side, flourishing in green,
A pathway lies along the edge of the land,
Animal life galore all throughout the surrounding land,
Deer, snakes, beavers, birds,
All call it their home,
Along with I,
Because the Green River is my home.
P.S.- I was trying to depict the river that our land is right next to but I changed the name, just for internet safety. (It's not actually called the Green River!) :)

ReplyDeleteThe Dragon:
1)Dragon, green scales, breathing fire
Smoking out, “I burnt the tire”.
Wind blown back in its face
Melted, smothered, without a trace.
Elementary School
2) The school did not founder
Deserted alone yelled louder,
“Who can help a poor fellow?”
Lost and alone to be mellow.
Turning brightly in the sun
Although he was very young.
Poor child needs a friend,
At school there can be sent.
Grandmother:
3)Flowers, pink, yellow, and red
I love my grandmother because
She made me a purple blanket bed.
Although she did not make it match,
She did something special for me,
And made my very own blanket batch.
Just so that I might see,
How lovely and sweet she can be.
4) Airalisseeda = Earth Guardian
Her face was cold when she was found,
Scarcely breathing on the ground
Her eyes were dark forest green
Unlike all other colors seen.
She was different from the rest
Kind and tender was her best.
Until she fell from the sky,
Katherine she was known by.
She was changed into something new
Great and mysterious she is to.
Ivy tangled around her face,
Arms, legs, like it was lace.
They could not pull her out of it
Because she protected every bit.
The forest she was bound along
To save and guard the earth’s song
That gives life a second chance
To cleanse away from a distance.
No one knows what her name is truly
Only she knows the world fully.
My imaginary hero: Airalisseeda
Light = Truth
5)Light is full of warmth, truth, peace,
Great things await for those in need,
Seek all the good you can,
The Lord will bless that man
Who strives to keep faithful, and
Who endures to the end.
6) Sister:
Sister where are you?
Near or far, I love you
You are my best friend,
Can we have time to spend?
All my secrets I give to thee,
That you might be close to me.
~I want to dedicate this poem to Mauryn.
7) Jesus Christ is The One
He is the creator
He is the master
He is the healer
He is all powerful
He is all knowing
He is loving
He is kind
He is Jehovah
He is the Messiah
He is our brother
He is the lamb
He is the ultimate sacrifice
He is The One
He is Jesus Christ

When you are on that plate it makes you bold
When I look at you hamburger you made me sold
But I don’t have enough money!!!!
9. Rollercoasters Rollercoaster you are so fast
You climb up the hill with a click click click
You slowly stop then you fall down at blazing
Speeds my face wants to go down but I refuse
We go up and down and up then we went up
and did a loop we reached the end
and the wheels screech and it halted to a stop
and I hope I can do it again.
10. Robots Robots you clean houses
And do the jobs for humans
They get a mind of their own
Then they try to claim the world
For themselves so I hope we won’t have robots
In the future because they might refuse to obey

A gloomy day, the rain it pours, yet something feels just right,
As mother earth, quenches her thirst, drinking through the night,
We feel the joy of thirsting greens, as they sing with hope anew,
Rejoice in hope of other things, and you will not be blue.
3. Spring
Green and Blue, both so new, colors I love to see,
The earth and sky, the birds that fly, the buzzing of a bee,
The dew of spring, the bells they ring, a fresh and hopeful plea.
4. The Meadow
The meadow of a mighty mountain, peaceful in its grandeur,
The stillness of the breeze that blows across the tall yellow grass and green ferns, tremble in beauty,
The doe, grazing with its young fawn, are undisturbed by fear of man,
No painting, nor picture, could grasp the beauty of the tranquility it holds,
The meadow of a mighty mountain, peaceful in its grandeur.
5. Dew
The crystal dewdrop;
Beauty of endless oceans,
Contained in one gem.
6. Gettysburg
Death in the land,
The end was near at hand,
Grant was standing tall,
Lee was near defeat,
His soldiers did retreat,
The south was at their fall,
God was in command,
The North would take a stand,
Their victory far from small.
7. Books
To read a book, is to live a life, that’s different from your own,
You become the character that suits you best, (it’s given as a loan),
When times get hard, you hate your life, just switch it for one that’s new,
A brand new life, that’s free of strife, is waiting there for you.

21. Life of a foolish conservative
He wakes up in Orem, Utah and watches Fox news.
On the way to work he listens to Glenn Beck discuss with Rush Limbaugh the only desire of liberals: to get things for free.
During his lunch hour, he talks to his like-minded friend about Barack Obama's evil character.
On his way home after work, he listens to Sean Hannity talk about Hillary Clinton: America's biggest foe.
Once he gets home, he engages in a courageous online debate with an arrogant, ignorant liberal democrat who says that teachers should not start public school classes with a prayer.
Finally, before he goes to sleep, he takes comfort knowing that he is not a close-minded, generalizing, foolish liberal.
22. Life of a foolish liberal
She wakes up in New York City and reads MSNBC.
On her way to work, she listens to The Young Turks discuss the absolute ignorance displayed by Christians.
During her lunch hour, she talks to all of her like-minded friends about the rotten man that is George W. Bush.
On her way home from work, she learns from Alex Bennett about the discrimination that conservatives spread through the country.
Once she gets home, she nobly attacks an arrogant conservative republican who dares to say that measures to manage gun sales should not be taken.
Finally, before she goes to sleep, she takes comfort knowing that she is not a close-minded, generalizing, foolish conservative.
23. The echo box
Is it dumb to be conservative? No.
But it is if you never see the liberal point of view.
Is it foolish to be a liberal? No.
Only if other arguments mean nothing to you.
Is it bad to listen to Glenn Beck? No.
It is though, if ALL your current events views come from him.
Is it bad to read MSNBC or the Huffington Post? No.
It is if it's the only form of reading you engage in.
Political views aren’t bad. It's bad to be stubborn like an ox.
Just don’t confine yourself into a foolish echo box.
24. Utah weather.
Have you heard the story of Goldilocks? It's really quite the tale.
Utah weather is like it, except for one detail.
In Goldilocks' story, she wanted the temperature just right.
In Utah, the weather changes from hot to cold, overnight.
Utah is a wonderful place, or so it may seem,
But really Utah is just a place filled with extremes.
25. Like wat?
Somwon sed that I rily need too lern to spel.

26. Rain.
Rain can dampen,
It can chill,
It can depress,
It can muddy,
Or,
It can clear,
It can invigorate,
It can elevate,
It can cleanse
It can nourish.

2.
I'm always losing crap,
Oh ostentatious me.
I lost my jacket and my wallet,
Now these things I'll never see.
I left my jacket on the roof,
The roof of my friends car.
I cried as we drive away,
My sweet jacket in a land afar.
I left my wallet in Texas,
Gosh freaking dangit i'm done.
I went back to look for it,
But it was already gone.
If you ask about my flounders,
I'd tell you I didn't know.
I guess it's just punishment,
Crap I can't find my pillow.

You think you know but you don't,
you say you will but you won't.
I'm never lying,

I'll make this work,

you're never there.
This is fun,
this poem is dumb.
It sounds like a song,
but gurl you're wrong.
Shush my sweet lover,
i'm still coming over.
5.
One minute to an hour,
The time flies by,
Our departure is sour,
In every single way.
She lays by my side,
She's all I think about,
Her dad comes in and shouts,
"Why are you making out!!!"
6.
The desert is a dreary place,
With nasty bugs and snakes that race.
The desert sand so hot and dry,
Has rising peaks both low and high.
The need for food and constant thirst,
He hopes for good and not the worst.
He sees a light as he draws a breath,
The desert sands bury him to death.
7.
I step out the door,
As I draw a deep long breath,
Spring is her my friends.
1 one is dope! 5 is soo sooo funny, and it had an unexpected twist at the end that I loved. 2 was also wicked sick. I loved it.
DeleteI loved them all! I identify with number 2.
Delete1) Where I belong
ReplyDeleteIf I lose my mind today,
Then I’ll be fine tomorrow.
If I’m fine tomorrow,
Then I’m on the right track.
If I’m on the right track,
Then someday, I’ll make it back.
Back to where I belong.
2) dad
Oh father, oh father
Take me please,
I Long to be with you in the cool morning breeze.
Oh father, oh father,
I want to go with you,
By the oceans so blue.
Oh father, of fathers,
You're the best one there is,
I couldn't ask for a better one,
To teach me the rewards of getting all of my work done.
You've been there for me,
Through thick and through thin,
And you always cheered me on, even if I didn't win.
Oh father, oh father,
I do love you so,
You are my dearest friend,
And I know I am yours.
3) a sick day.
The clenching of the throat
The fever grows high,
I begin to dread this sick day drawn nigh.
I feel like crap,
In the lightest of terms,
I fear that my tongue has turned into a worm.
I ask for a blessing,
Only faith can buy.
My throat starts to ease,
My fever has lowered,
From its tower on high.
I am truly grateful for a father above,
Who healed the sick and the dead,
Out of true and real love.
This sick day has turned into reminder you see,
I know that He truly does love and care about,
Me.
4) life
Music is life,
And jazz is the way you live it.
5) breathe
Just breathe,
That's what they always say.
But they don't know,
What it's like to be carried away.
You told yourself, you wouldn't end up like this.
In a mental hospital where your mind's gone
Amiss.
6) I want to be an opera singer.
I want to sing in the opera when I grow up.
A standing ovation I'd have each night.
I want be and opera singer when I grow up.
My vibrato would shatter glass,
And fuzz people's sight.
I want to be an opera singer when I grow up.
I'd get loads of money,
And that would be good.
(Sing in operatic tone of voice)
7) scream
Screaming at the top of my lungs,
A ringing through my ears is about to be sung.
My mind goes blank, and heart grows numb,
I start to forget for what I have come.
I cannot awake, no matter how hard I scream.
Falling and falling,
I wish this had been a dream.

DeleteWow #7 is scary! I really liked #2, it describes just as I feel (and seeing I have the same Dad as you that makes sense). 5 was really interesting, it was painting a picture in my mind. 3, I know the feeling.

1. Once I Met a Llama
Once I met a llama
It was quite the diva
Its name was Polka
This little llama
Was once chased by a cheetah
And almost bit by a cobra
Then found in the plaza
Where it say on the sofa
It ordered a soda
The llama sat drinking a cola
When found by a zebra
Who was with an alpaca
I was in the area
I approached with an idea
I brought them a pizza
That’s how I met a llama
Who was quite a diva
Her name was Polka
2. I have this magic purse
Actually I do not
But if I did have a magic purse
Here is what it’s got:
A book or two, way more
To read or keep my thought
So no matter where
It will never go unthought
I will keep my favorite dream
So it’s never forgot
Also my favorite memory
Where it’ll be like a snapshot
The laugh of a friend
A breeze that was caught
A feather of an owl
A cloud tied into a knot
All this and so much more
If a magic purse I got
3. This is me
Not you, not we
Just let me be
I don’t care if you agree
I’m good with what I see
For this is me
It’s who I want to be
I want to be me
This is who I am
For this is me
4. I hear the gentle tappings
Of the sweet spring rain
Then feel the gentle drops
Sweep away my pain
Smell the sweet wet air
Enough to drive me insane
Taste the gentle breeze
I hope it will remain
See it all unfolding
When it rains, I don’t complain
5. I wonder if there is a way to escape
My world, my life, my everything
Where I can be a superhero wearing a cape
Or a princess marrying a king
Wait… there is a way to escape
It’s called reading a book!
6. If I went to a ball
I would dress up and go
I would have a mask and a shawl
I would stand on a balcony and look below
Not want to go down so I will stall
Sometime I will need to go down though
So wait for my name that they will call
Then down the stairs I will go slow
I will trip and fall
Into this cute fellow
Who will help me up and all
Dark and handsome, nice also
Embarrassed I wanted to away crawl
He only smiles and gave a bow
I was more than a little enthrall
Then offered me his elbow
We spent the evening without any befall
I felt like I was aglow
If only I went to a ball
7. What if
What if I found a stranger in my house or room?
What if I saw a witch riding high on a broom?
What if I saw a prince and we danced in the ballroom?
What if we knew each other but only met in costume?
What if we never thought and never did assume?
What if us meeting brought a bigger doom?
What if we look back and always remember in gloom?
If we always think in what ifs, it could bring a bigger doom
Don’t think that way, just let whatever happens bloom

ReplyDelete1. It's weird to think just how fragile we really are,
Being human we love to much,
Hate to much,
Trust to much,
Fear to much,
Dream to much,
Wish to much,
But mostly just care way to much.
2. Is it just me or do other people get scared to talk,
not want to stand out,
so you hide in the corner and try not to be there at all,
you wish you could be brave,
and sometimes feel well enough to walk with your chin held high,
but it doesn't last that long
no matter how hard you try,
I guess I'm just supper shy.
3. Sometimes it's nice to be a kid,
goof around and do what ever you like,
not worry about what you did,
spending all day on your bike,
but other times it would be great to be a adult,
to take care of yourself,
to have your own rules,
have what ever you like on your shelf,
having your own tools,
I look forward to that day.
4. We all have that one thing or person that can make us happy no matter how bad our day is,
wither it's just seeing them,
or having that thing come into your head at a random time,
sometimes you don't even know how important they are to you until after they leave or you leave that thing behind.
5. We need to appreciate every day,
we won't always have time to play,
there could be a delay,
were everything turns gray,
and all we can do is pray,
but we still have today.
6. I'm so glad to be home,
where I know I'm safe,
and I have no need to worry,
Because I'm with my family.
7. We all have light,
it came give is sight,
or it can tell us what's right,
it's quite a delight
that we have the light of Christ in our lives.
My cow poem of the week:
ReplyDeleteI am thankful for your gift to me
In return for the minimal things which I do for thee
The beautiful milk so fresh and white
Even though to get it is such a fight
You are a cow, stubborn, it’s true
Never mind, I actually do way more for you
I don’t know if it is actually worth it
You always put up such a fit
Don’t you forget that I am a sinner
And sometimes wouldn’t mind a little beef for dinner
Time:
Time is like a river,
Nobody knows exactly where it starts or where it ends.
We are like a fisherman’s lure,
We only get to see time for a moment before we are swallowed up by a fish.
Sleep:
Sleep is like an enormous mass of aspirations and hopes that we all want; combined with our deepest fears. Dreams fill our heads with incredibly detailed portraits of how we wish our perfect lives would happen. But, alas, it all is gone in a blink as we wake up. We can’t wait to return to our sanctuary of peace and happiness again.
Sleep 2 (it deserves two poems):
Sleep is just as our hopes and dreams for the future, it is a beautiful thought with great intent; it’s just out of reach and somewhat unattainable. It is the thing that keeps us going, the thing that makes us better and helps us mold into the person we have the potential to be.
Clouded Thoughts:
Is it common to feel a clouded thought?
Like your brain just isn’t working like it ought?
Some tell me, “ It’s just brain fog”
Because your thought process is in a bog
Others call it by a name of which I am quite fond,
Let’s keep it simple and say it’s because I’m blonde.
Reality Check:
Reality check:
Shocker! We are all imperfect.
But let’s get over the fact as of now
And let’s remember just how
We can become anew
For the Savoir suffered for me and you.
He made the decision to Atone,
Because of that, we are never alone.
Stress:
If it is a disorder, then I have it.
The thoughts that go through my head even if I am just here to sit
Worry wart is the name,
You stressed? Just join the gang!
We stress until there is nothing to stress about
And then we stress because we are all out
There is no point to the pain we put ourselves through
Believe me, it’s true.
I just want to say that I am very sorry if any of my poems offended anyone, I really was not trying. Just so y'all know :D
I love reality check its beautiful

My pet pterodactyl and I
Were riding high in the sky
When in the small of my eye
I spotted a longtoothed fly.
The longtoothed fly flew into my thigh
And caused a great deal of pain
Oh longtoothed fly, you have made me cry
And fall off my pet again.
As I tumbled to my death
I started running out of breath
And wanted so terribly
To be rescued by my friend
That would be there in the end
Whether living or dying next to me.
He swooped down from the sky and pulled me from the air
As the wind whipped through my hair
I was safe once again
And would never lose my friend,
After saving me from that scare.

ReplyDelete1. The giant beast lies dormant still,
it’s hunger is no more.
It’s lonely being is noticed not,
no one can hear his roar.
His stony spine rises high above
the people who live below.
And his giant sloping back is now
covered in a white snow.
His breathing is forgotten,
most people do not feel,
the rise and fall of his sorry breath,
no one knows his gaze of steel.
People blindly look but do not see,
they listen but do not hear.
For they have all forgotten
of this beast which is so near.
The beast, his name is nature.
His spine in the mountain lies,
but unless you listen hard,
you cannot feel the rise
of his heavy, lonely breath.
We cannot feel the beat
of his sorely throbbing heart,
that booms beneath our feet.
2. It must be done don’t let it pass,
I’ll do it when I rise.
But as I wake I find, alas,
I have a play practice.
But I know that when it is done
I will finish my task.
The play practice has come and gone,
I’m at my grandma’s house,
but when I go to my own home
I’ll do it yes I will.
I know that when I get home
I’ll do my task alone.
I finally get back!
But I have things to do!
And I Forget my task,
I know, I know, it’s true.
And now I do it anyway,
I will finish my task.
3. Purple, purple, deep and fine,
will your heart please be mine?
Blue, blue, cold and sweet,
will our hands ever meet?
Red, red, hot and fierce,
you make and arrow my heart pierce.
Green, green, luscious, soft,
you make my head float aloft,
Yellow, yellow, warm and bright,
you can light up any night.
Orange, orange, tart in hue,
all my colors, I love you!
4. We are a family,
we are of god,
we stand together,
and we are loved.
Our father loves us,
I know he cares,
and with his guidance,
we’ll make it there.
Up to his palace,
with all our friends.
We are disciples
his love never ends.
We’ll spread his gospel,
we’ll spread his love,
we’ll help more people,
and end up above.
5. (Using commonly confused words)
My motions were discreet
as I walked down the street,
I went into my house,
as quiet as a mouse.
I was somewhat disinterested,
or maybe just uninterested,
in the rough draft of my paper,
but it would make me feel dapper…
then all of the sudden a draft
blew away my poor rough draft!
It made me very sad,
and also made me mad,
for that paper’s purpose was dual,
an expression of a duel.
It was about desserts,
and eating in deserts.
But this duel ends up a draw,
for I took a hook out of my drawer,
and grabbed the paper from the wind,
in the process tearing it,
so I only got some of my paper.
The end.
6. I know I’ve always loved you,
you might not say the same,
but you have been the crutch for me
at times when I was lame.
You help me voice the images
that I see when I dream,
when there’s a hole in my ideas,
you help me sew a seam.
The words that I cannot speak,
I use you to display,
and when I get that writer’s block,
you help clear it away.
You help me with so many things,
to draw, to write, to feel,
oh I love you so, so much,
my number two pencil.

jumpy, loving, fast.
Cute, small, a work of art,
always having a blast.
Messy, curly, sometimes loud,
frantic, hungry, brown.
Sleepy, edgy, somewhat proud,
jumping off the ground.

bright, ticklish, naughty.

The hawk notices movement
The robin picks up a small twig
The hawk catches his prey
Two things in two beaks being carried away

Moving past the failures,
Humbly flaunting my successes.
Disregarding my flounders.

Muggy heat
Mouthfuls fo popsicles

There is a fine balance
For everything in life.
No idea goes without
That important line drawn.
The extremes of each side
Can be unhealthy too.

There are things we learn from nature.
Diligence from the sun
Confidence from the birds
Solitude from the fox
Boldness from the trees
Purity from the rain

Perfectly uniform
Red, ripe, and juicy
Hanging on for dear life
Tomatoes on a vine

In Acts chapter 5,
An experience is shared
Of a couple who selfishly lied to God.
When the apostles asked for any donations,
The couple held some riches behind,
But openly shared “all” of their possessions.
Their secret plan bit right back,
For suddenly they were struck dead.
It got me thinking,
“Is there more I can do to serve?
Am I holding something back from the Lord?”
Caleb A, DE, P3
DeleteYour first poem reminds me of 'Despicable Me' when the girls walk in the house and see the lion with a cat in its mouth, cat with the mice, ect...

1. With a thorn in my side,
Festering in pain,
I strive to abide.
A fog of confusion
Surrounds my head.
And the mist of darkness,
Covers my path.
Yet grasping the iron rod,
Shuffling along,
I will find my way to God.
2. The crisp summer air.
The mid-year fair.
I miss it, oh I miss it.
But you don’t really care.
So why do I share?
3. Day to day.
Trying to survive,
Longing to revive.
How can I complain?
When these prayers are in vain.
4. When the flames reach higher.
The morals fall lower.
When the lies get bigger.
The people sound smaller.
Cry out with the voice you have!
Stand up for the rights you’ve lost.
This has grown old.
So lets say, NO!
5. Turning circles
Doing the same time, the same thing.
Remitting, Digressing
Changing and Changing.
Lying, yelling, accusing for nothing.
6. Stone cold and empty.
Just a useless tumbleweed,
Subject to the whims of the wind.
Tumbling and turning with every blow.
Who will stop this?
No one can know.
7. Wake up.
Wipe the dust off your eyes.
Just a little glimpse will holds all truth
Just a little effort will free you.
wow number 7 was amazing!

ReplyDelete1. The brilliant sunlight starts to fade
As gray clouds come and bring new beginnings
The rain falls down and coats a grass blade
My sister shouts in the rain; twirling, spinning
The gloom of the sky does not bring gloom to hearts
Rather a joy of new starts.
2. I gasped as I saw him run away
My nerves were already beginning to fray
He went and stole the possessions and the he did depart
But he didn't have to take my poor heart
3. PINK
Practically perfect in every way
Interesting enough to add that POP!
Not just for girls, "real men wear pink!"
Khaki and pink... an mediocre combination I think
4. "What is red?" blind ask
To describe the undescribed
Show the mysteries
5. Fangirl
Shipping and headcannons are our favorite things
We love looking at talented fanart makes our heart ring
Authors stay away from our character's and there we cling
No harm may come to them!
The call of the fangirl is usually a squeal
The new book is out!
So much feels.
6. Point, flex, point, flex
Crack, snap, ankles pop
I stretch as I think about the choreography complex
The endless hours of dance never stop
I love the feeling it bring
As I developpe my leg sky high
Try! Try!
My dance teacher cries
As I struggle with fouettes.
7. My hair I like to braid
The long locks I would never trade
It's been with me for my crusade
Definitely for at least a decade
I remember Rapunzel and how her strands came to her aid
Maybe a handsome prince will come raid!

ReplyDelete1. Sunscreen smells like the beach
Hairspray feels like a dance
Mozart sounds like my infancy
Hot Chocolate tastes like Christmas
Purple looks like Sis. Jackson
2. The sun seeps through the cotton blanket
It breaks the dark with all its light
A circular globe of orange and heat
Its power shining with all its might
The truth that light overcomes dark
Is only seen by those that wake
Its radiance is for those that work
And those who give all for its sake
3. While I ponder to think of what to choose
I stand among people that form in a queue
As I wonder and think of what to say
The cashier will tell me what’s special today
I look at the list but see no delight
I look to the left, I look to the right
But then I saw through the corner of my eye
That it was a Monday and so then I sighed
When I give them the cash and pick up my food
I walk out the door in a very sour mood
But then in the car when I see what’s inside
The smell of hot cinnamon rolls made a smooth ride
4. Chess is a game that requires some thought
A game with no strategy is like casting lots
Its best to go second, by that I mean black
Because with their move, you’ll see what they lack
With a move too far out, your king can be checked
If you don’t defend him, then you will be wrecked
The game requires patience and also control
So that when you lose you don’t sell your soul
5. The man with no shoes complained until he saw the man with no feet
The man with poor eyesight complained until he saw that man with no eyes
The man with thin hair complained until he saw the man with no hair
The man with no money complained until he saw the man with no home
The man with no hope complained until he saw the man with no faith
The man with no ease complained until he saw the man with no wrong being crucified for him
6. There is no need for us to complain
Because of Him we need not feel the pain
Not the pain that comes from our physical self
But the pain that hurts our spiritual health
7. Perfect tune
Imaginative creativity
Angelic with a touch
Noisy with a bang
Open to all who seek to wield fame

Why does this have to end?
Our lovely summer life.
Why do we have to pretend?
That it doesn't cause us strife.
I won't forget the way
your hands went through my hair.
I won't forget that week
we spent in the fresh mountain air.
Every time I see you it reminds it will end.
You have to leave.
I know that I will mend,
but that peace will take time to achieve.
I remember waiting.
Waiting for you at my window,
though knowing you'd never come,
I couldn't really help it
all I could think about was you.
Although I couldn't admit it.
Not to anyone.
Not even myself.
And now it's too late.
For now I have to wait.

The end of an era.
The close of the day.
A new perspective.
A change of way.
A spiritual rebirth.
A new outlook.
A re-awakening.
The start of a book.
Change can be good.
We all need a second chance.
A restoration.
To enhance what they did at first glance.

Sometimes I wonder
as I look up to the sky.
I wonder how it would feel
to fall from up so high.
Would it be exciting?
Or could I just fly?
How would it feel?
To die.
Not in a negative way.
I'm just curious you see.

A peaceful evening.
After I hit the hay.
I will know how it feels someday.

Late at night and still a wake,
All I want is to lie down,
Stumble into my room and my
Head hits the pillow,
My pillow is soft and silky,
My head sinks deep into the center
As my eyes close,
I am finally asleep.

Outside skies are clear,
Sun is shining,
Children laughing.
Inside hot and stuffy,
Homework scattered,
Alarm is buzzing,
Staring out the window longingly,
Then, back to homework.

Above her was a clock,
She sat and watched the big clocks arm,
Swing back and forth,

As I’ve been sitting here
On the cold park bench
I’ve see a man in a trench coat
circle round and round our town.
He goes in and out of stores,
Up and down alley’s,
He never talks to anyone,
And never makes a sound.

The newlyweds stood outside the house,
Excitement in their eyes,
To start their bran new family in,
They knew it was the one.

ReplyDelete1. Kids can be heard as they load on the bus
Mom's are there hugging them making a fuss
Dad's are off to work earning some money.
Even the bees are up working on honey
The day is beginning, lets go play.
2.The E mail
Last day for assignments was what the note stated
Assignments due no later than May 21st
The end of school is the time for which I waited
I have no time, this is just worst!
Long days, little sleep, Is this how character is created
I will succeed, and the we will all be dispersed.
3.I woke up stressed
I was in a rush to get to the bus
My hair was a mess
When would I have time to fix this curly mess

It hides inside of you

ReplyDeleteThis is my 20th poem.
Twas once a girl, stole my heart, did she.
The only obstacle between us, was that beard-faced he.
He had lots of money, but I did not have any.
I didn't have much, only nickels and pennies.
Resorted to my good looks, and sharp muscles did I.
Challenged him to a duel, I looked him in the eye.
We fought for the maiden, all day and all night.
Muscles I did have, we had a good fight.
But my good looks prevailed, he admitted his defeat.
I grabbed the maiden by her hand, I felt so complete.
Off into the sunset, we did ride.
But before morn, she did die.

Voice,
Move out of the way I am coming through said the wind with a loud and shaky voice with a tornado laughing like a possessed being heheehehehehe lets have some fun I have been waiting for this.
People screaming,man yelling get inside the storm is coming get all the cloths put them inside before the rain,
HURRY UP,...hurry,..hurry... We don't have much time
Here I COME... Said with a gentle and impatient voice, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee get out of my way for I am coming to hit hard.
All the human and animals got to a safe place before the army of the little droplets of rain hit and invaded .
The rolling bush
My name is George and I am a bush.
I have no home,
No possessions,
I use to be rich,green and pretty.
But now I am just a rolling bush,
I am dry,thirty and ugly.
No one wants me around people keep sending me away no Matter where I go.
The wind sends me every where the wind it's my legs.
The sun use to be my best friend and now it's my enemy it does nothing but scorch me and make me more dry,
Oh sun what did I ever do to you?
I once use to be rich and green and now my friends turned their back on me,
My only the friend is the wind, and now I am rich no more I am just a rolling bush.
The rose flower .
I am Rosie and people say I am really pretty,
I represent love,
And I know I smell amazing.
Women love me idk why,it must be my pretty skins and
My awesome shape.
I think I am the prettiest flower ever made hmm no doubt.
But for some reason man don't really seem interested,
They only buy me for their females hmmmm man
Are hard to please.
Tic tic clock
My name is clocky, haha duhhhhh it's kinda obvious.
People buy me in their homes but yet refuse to use me.
I watch human waste their time on unproductive things and
I hang up there on their walls and watch in pain nothing to do nothing say
But tic,tic,tic,tic...........
And they have not clue what I what my tic means,
Till the time draws near they come rushing to look
At me like they ever cared,
For all my life on this wall I will tic,tic till they get what my tic means.
Hope
ReplyDelete1. Hoping that something will get better
You don’t care in the form of a call or a letter
Wondering what will possibly happen next
Until after waiting you get an assuring text.
Faith
2. Believing in what I know to be right,
Believing with all my might.
Wondering how much I can affect the world,
Without making it overly gnarled.
Temple
3. The temple standing sitting there,
So holy, sacred, and white.
I just couldn't imagine in the pioneer days
Being burned up by mobs through the night.
4. All our life is a poem,
That we all must write.
5. We must learn now how to write,
So when the savior comes we can start
To make a record of his holy works,
Of his commandments and glory on this earth.
6. G-Glorious
O-Omega
D-Dominator
7. There once was a boy, who joined Liahona,
What he did not know was, how much love they will give ya.
On the first day he realized how much fun there would be,
On the last day of school he regretted his choice to leave.

DeleteWe need to grow up
ReplyDeleteWe need to stand in strong places
We need to help others out
We need to show others what we can do
And don’t give in to anything
Food is so good
Food is so soft
Food makes you happy
Food makes you sick
Food is so pretty
Food is so ugly
Why is food so good
Guns are so cool
They can do so many different things
They can bring peace to people
They can also bring fright to people
But overall most people have one and love them
sniff sniff
ReplyDeleteI cry.
Every night I cry hoping it gets better.
sniff sniff
I cry
Woke up the next morning it still hurts.
As the birds sing their songs
I think of the world.
As the birds sing their songs,
I think of the flowers.
As the birds sing their songs,
I wish I could sing.

1. So much food
ReplyDeleteYet I'm still hungry
Why am i not full?
Just stop dude.
2. Looking at the ladder
It is very tall
So many pegs to climb
What if i fall?
I don't have a choice
I must begin to climb
It can't be that hard
But I'm running out of time...
3. Punch, smash, kick
Listen to the music
Take is out on the bag
Don't take it out in your head
You're words are much more hurtful
It hurts, what you said.
4. Butterfly wings flutter in the wind.
Flying to the flowers
They are so close by.
You can totally make it.
But only if you're a butterfly.
5. Sweats are the bomb
I love them so much
Wayy better than any other pants
Too bad they look sloppy
Just kidding i don't care
I do what i want
I wear sweat pants everywhere
6. Sad penguin
Looking all around
He doesn't have friends
Just ice and snow
He wanted a friend so bad that he died
Penguin died from the sadness inside.
7. Oh..crap there it is
Darn i don't want it to happen now
But it totally will weather i like it or not
Here it comes
Get ready..
OH NO!
I was so ready for it though!
Look at the light
Hold my breath
It's still barely there
Nope, nope it's gone.
Stupid sneeze.

Have you ever considered
The power of the cape?
I mean the big, flowy kind
Like the robes of Severus Snape?
It’s quite impossible to resist
A man with a billowy cloak.
Why, just take a quick gander
At that — what’s his name — Batman bloke.
2.
Dragons, gryphons, orcs,
The beasts of mythology…
I wish they were real.
3.
A world full of monsters, with powers elemental,
That take part in great battles monumental.
It sounds like something out of the Silmarillion,
But fans of Gamefreak will tell you: It’s Pokemon!
4.
A haiku, haiku,
Doesn’t come out of the blue.
To think, you need to.
5.
Throughout our world, there are creatures called the Geeks
Who walk among us and are characterised by a mentality unique.
They take the form of humans big, small, young and old,
But one uniting attribute is their obsessions uncontrolled.
The obsession could be about anything, be it books or games or shows,
But it will always define every aspect of their life, and it definitely shows.
They will wear merchandise or carry items in their bag
That bear some sort of relevance (it might still have the tag)
To the subject of their mania, such as a character’s favorite color
Or the character’s face drawn on a fake Monopoly dollar.
They might seem harmless at first, but whatever you dare to do,
Never insult their obsession — their next victim could be you.
1. "New friends, new people, a new chance.
ReplyDeleteThough I couldn't tell at first glance.
This isn't a romance,
But I'm pretty sure my life they will enhance."
2. "Happy to sad.
Calm to mad.
Good to bad.
0 to 100 real fast."
3. "Always rushing, always crazy.
But it's not because I'm lazy.
Never on time.
Always get there after the chime.
I can't change my fate,
For I was born to be late."
4. "We went from talking until two a.m.
to talking every two minutes,
to talking every two days,
to never talking again.
5. "Lessons my mother taught me:
Don't stick your tongue out!
Cross your legs!
When it comes to make up: less is more.
Don't be late and don't leave last.
Sunday's are family days!
If you're going to do something, do it right!
Always mind your manners!
Look good in dirty clothes and better in a dress.
Stand and sit up straight!
Don't act like a lady, be a lady."
6. "In a crowd of people.
And a sea of faces.
I look for you,
In the most desperate places."
7. "5 months pass not so sweetly.
Nothing about it was easy.
Scars cover skin like old graffiti.
And addictions ran far too deeply.
The thought of turning back messed with me daily.
But hopefully the right path will be continued swiftly."

ReplyDeleteOde To A Blanket
I wrap myself in thou, cozy coverlet, seamed memory;
O gift of warmth, O quilted comfort, O, beauteous blanket
I find myself at night bereft if, without thee, I am left.
When I wast small, thou madest up an Arabian tent wall.
Now I am grown, and thou hidest my morning’s moan.
I wrap myself in thou, bedspread,glorious weaving of thread!
Thou banisheth my fears, soaketh up mine tears.
I adore thine heat, that wrappeth around my freezing feet.
O blanket, O beloved, O comfort that I dearly loved!

Technology is perfect
I don't think that
I could live without my perfect i-devices
flawless pieces of technology
I know I don't own
the current model of phone
I don't care for
things like books, paper and pencils,
i believe perfection is found within
devices Apple, Asus, Android, Samsung and more.
I wish I never had to deal with

3. (Click) I freeze at the ominous sound.
What could make such a noise?
Snick. I’m alone, alone in this big house,
other than sleeping little brothers.
(Click) It sounds like the lock to the door.
A burglar! It must be!
(Snick.) I’m alone, alone in this new house,
Eleven, scared, huddled on the couch.
(CLICK) What is going to happen? I’m scared.
Climbing off the couch,
(SNICK) I creep to the door, heart in my mouth.
Please, please, go away burglar.
(CLICK) The dread sound comes from behind.
Oh, what could it be?!
(SNICK!) I’m dead, I know, I’m dead, I’m dead.
Then I realize. I know. It’s Salty.
Click! Our hermit crab moves placidly
Inside his glass cage.
Snick! Going to eat a midnight snack,
Unaware of my panic.
4. The Bathtub Monster
All children beware the creature in the tub!
Those who don’t go glub-glub-glub...
Like poor Tommy -Tommy McBub
One Saturday night, he went to the bathtub.
He turned on the water and hopped in the tub
Pulled out his soap and started to scrub.
When there came an ominous noise,
echoing among those bathtub toys.
Poor little Tommy froze in the tub,
before turning back to his toy sub.
“Sounds as though the plumbing’s gone bad,”
He shrugged. “I’ll have to tell Dad.”
A gurgling voice, from the plug of the tub,
“Don’t you know who I am, man cub?”
Tommy rolled his eyes at this, with a smirk.
“Very funny, teasing brother, but it won’t work!”
The voice said “For forty-nine years have I haunted this tub,
and never have I ever received such a snub!
I am no brother, no teasing sibling!
Fear me! I am a Loch Monster Nestling!”
Tommy let out a laugh that echoed in the tub,
“Good one, brother, but it won’t rub!
I’m not a fool, not a cat to be scared.
I’m not afraid.” He unfortunately declared.
“I WILL EAT YOU!” Roared the monster in the tub,
“You disrespectful, uncomprehending little grub!”
Tommy snorted and turned his back on the plug,
ignored it as it rose with a glug.
A slimy tentacle reached through the tub,
grabbed Tommy with a glub-glub-glub,
dragged his shrieking body down the plug
and left with no sound but a glug-glug-glug.
No more was he seen in the tub,
Indeed that was the end of Tommy McBub.
So beware all you children, when in the bath!
Arouse not the bathtub monster’s wrath!
5.
Rains fall around me.
Sheets of grey and blue soak.
Deep breaths and wet smiles.
